Take a look at this hotel called Zeavola on Phi Phi. Gorgeous!

Now check out trip advisor. Even though most of the reviews are 5*, I was able to pick up on the following.

- All manner of motorized and foot traffic on the beach
- Rats. Rat droppings! In the rooms. On the dining tables.
- Clouds of mosquitos that accost you in the open-air bathrooms
- Inconsistent service
- Generator noise from neighboring hotel
- Ability to see from one room into another
Ericka you should also check out the Thailand forum on FT when researching for trips. I wouldnt discuss Zeavola in much detail on the Lux forum but I would on the Thailand forum. There are lots of 'beautiful' resorts in Thailand but service and maintenance are nearly always a problem.
