The Holiday Inn Resort Phi Phi Island is a family-friendly, upper-middle-range chain hotel that sits on a tranquil stretch of remote Laem Thong Beach. The 126 mostly modern bungalows and studio rooms -- some directly on the beach -- are showing a bit of wear, and some furniture is dated. There are two swimming pools, both with whirlpools; one has a kids' area while the second is reserved for adults. Three hotel restaurants and two bars provide plenty of dining and drinking options, which is good because it's a lengthy ferry or long-tail boat ride to Tonsai, the island's bustling town. It's worth considering nearby Zeavola Resort, which has slightly lower rates and more bespoke charm.
