Zodiac Seesun Resort is a 2.5-star beachfront property directly on Koh Lipe’s Sunrise Beach, about a 15-20 minute walk from the Walking Street strip. It holds 8.7/10 on Agoda from close to 1,000 reviews and 8.4/10 on Booking.com from 248 reviews — guests rate the location and cleanliness highest, while recent write-ups flag tired bathrooms in some rooms. This is simple, clean beachfront accommodation rather than a polished resort.
Character & Location
The resort sits on the quieter eastern flank of the island, sharing Sunrise Beach with the Urak Lawoi sea-nomad village that gives the beach its Thai name, Hat Chao Ley. Sand starts roughly 150 ft from the rooms, and Sunset Beach (0.6 miles) and Sanom Beach (1.3 miles) are both walkable if you want to see Koh Lipe’s other coastlines. Because there are no cars on the island, the walk to Walking Street and Pattaya Beach — where most restaurants, dive shops and nightlife cluster — takes 15-20 minutes on foot.
Standout Features
Every room, from the Deluxe Beach Front (one king bed, direct sea view) down to the Double Room with Sea View, comes with a kettle and tea/coffee set — a small detail guests mention repeatedly, useful for an early coffee before the beach fills up. The Superior Bungalow keeps a traditional single-storey layout with a queen bed, while the Superior Twin suits friends travelling together. There’s no swimming pool; the resort trades on direct beach access instead, with a restaurant and bar built into the sand.
Insider Tip: Ask for a recently refreshed room when you book — 2024-2026 guest reviews single out ageing showers and slow plumbing fixes in some units, and staff can usually place you in a renovated room if you mention it at check-in.
Best For / Less Good For
This suits budget-conscious couples and travellers who want to wake up steps from the water without paying resort prices, and who don’t mind a quieter, less polished stretch of the island. It’s less suited to guests wanting reliable air-con, modern bathrooms, or a pool — several 2025-2026 reviews mention leaky showers and patchy maintenance, and the beachfront bar’s noise can carry into rooms facing it.
- Directly on Sunrise Beach, about 150 ft from the water, quieter than the Walking Street strip
- 8.7/10 on Agoda (938 reviews) and 8.4/10 on Booking.com (248 reviews) — location and cleanliness score highest
- Kettle and tea/coffee set in every room
- Beachfront restaurant and bar for meals without leaving the property
- No swimming pool — the beach is the main amenity
- Recent reviews (2024-2026) note ageing bathrooms and slow-fixed plumbing in some rooms
- Breakfast is basic (toast, eggs or curry) and restaurant prices run higher than town
- Beach bar noise can carry into bar-facing rooms in the evening
Value & Nearby
Rates sit at the budget end for beachfront Koh Lipe accommodation, which is the trade-off for the basic facilities. From the resort you can walk the length of Sunrise Beach toward the Chao Ley village, or cross the island to watch the evening light from Sunset Beach, a 10-15 minute walk with a steep staircase at the end. See more of the island, including ferry times and other beaches, on the Koh Lipe destination guide.
