Description

Blanco Beach Bar Hostel is a 2-star hostel in Loh Dalum Bay, Koh Phi Phi, with direct access to the beach.

Accommodation is arranged as single bunk beds in mixed dormitories for four, six, eight or ten people, plus a 12-bed dorm. The rooms are air-conditioned and use shared bathrooms. The dorm age policy is 18 to 35, for adult travellers comfortable with communal rooms and facilities.

An on-site restaurant, coffee house, snack bar and bar provide food and drinks, while the social programme ranges from pub crawls and movie nights to a nightclub/DJ and evening entertainment. You can also spend time in the games room or shared lounge, or join activities including snorkelling, diving, hiking and canoeing. The beachfront includes a private beach area, and guests appreciate easy access to the sand and helpful staff. Music can remain audible late, and some travellers have criticised the shared bathrooms for cleanliness and privacy.
