Since Saturday (November 3), the 156-key, 177-rai property, formerly known as the Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort and Spa, has officially been run by Hawaii-based Outrigger Hotels and Resorts.
Outrigger took over sales and marketing of the property a year ago. Since then, extensive improvements have been made, including the addition of 44 new Deluxe Garden Bungalows.
“We have started to implement Outrigger international standards across facilities, food and beverage and human resource services,” said Darren Edmonstone, Managing Director Asia Pacific for Outrigger. “It’s a completely new era for one of the most beautiful beach resorts in Thailand.”
The new 53-square-metre Deluxe Garden Bungalows are the highlight of the changes. They are located in clusters giving the atmosphere of a traditional Thai village.
Inside, the interiors are contemporary with Thai touches.
