    We have visited this restaurant because of the good reviews. But unfortunately it seems that the lady was not really happy to have guests ... We ordered two Cocktails because it was still happy hour (99THB per cocktail) but the glasses were really small compared to other ones. The food was really good and can be recommended but service was by far not that good as expected and we normally are used to get here in Thailand. All in all we will not come back here.

The retro-inspired ambiance creates a nostalgic and cozy atmosphere, making it a standout spot on the island. The staff's friendliness and attentiveness added to the overall positive experience. The menu at Think & Retro Cafe is a delightful fusion of classic and innovative offerings.

    I've stayed in this place for one week. First thing that I enjoyed the most, was sitting in a cafe right on the beach, enjoying views and nature - that alone was worth the experience. Only 1 min walk from our container home! Second thing - happy hour every evening from 16:30 till 18:30. Cocktails were only 99 baht and this way I've tried most of them from the menu. Mojito was the best 👌 Food was decent, a lot of choice for every taste. Enjoyed banana split dessert a lot, was a big portion and a nice flavour 😋 I can recommend this place to everyone who wants to enjoy nice, quiet and secluded space with great views and reasonable prices.

    Best vegetarian thai food I've tried in Thailand. The yellow curry vegetable was delicious! We ate right by the water and heard the sounds of 🌊, it was super lovely. (I don't recommend the coffee, duh) We will definitely return.

    We love coming here… great food, stunning location. Shade from the trees is very special, so you can stay all afternoon on the beach…

    Excellent chill atmosphere. Tables and chairs right on the beach, charmingly mismatched decor, and a surfey vibe. The food is really decent and well priced, too. (We only went for the restaurant).

    The bar is located in very nice beach, sailor meeting point

    Nice little place right on the beach, which was not too crowded at all during December, the sea water was clean, it has a few free sun-beds and umbrellas, has a chill out laid back atmosphere, we initially visited by mistake and then came back 3 times more just to have a swim, then eat brunch or lunch, which was typical Thai food, overall a great experience!

    It was a beautiful place to have dinner with the view of the sea... Just gretted that they don't have a lot of options for vegetarians

    A super cute cafe and accommodation. We just visited for an iced coffee and was surprised by the lovely quiet beach. They also offer massages on the beach.

    We ate here on our first night in Lipa Noi. The location right on the beach is delightful. There were mixed reviews from our party regarding the food. There were not many vegetarian options however my Thai green curry was delicious, thick, creamy and spicy and I would have gone back there. Family members enjoyed their meals however they weren't blown away with their food choices. The staff were kind and accommodating

    Great vibe to this place right on the beach. Good prices compared to the resort options close to it. Very attentive, friendly employees. I was swatting mosquitoes, and they noticed and brought me bug spray. Now that's service!

  • 5/5 Max R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very Nice Hotel and Restaurant, I always wanted to stay in a container home and now thanks to this hotel my dream came true. Also they are super friendly and the Restaurant is fantastic, they have happy hour from 4:30pm until 6:30pm where large cocktails are only 100 baht each and they're great. Can wholeheartedly recommend this place :)

    Toilets should come with breathing apparatus. Absolutely vile. Very poor service, but the food was good. Lovely location.

  • 5/5 Kevin S. 7 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Great place in Koh Samui to relax by the beach without much crowd and great food. Definitely recommend it if you don't mind a bit of a drive from Chaweng.

  • 5/5 S. Patrick H. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem! Excellent wifi. Wonderful staff. The area, Lipa Noi, offers a perfect escape from the hustle of Chaweng.

  • 5/5 Zita S. 1 year ago on Google
    Not many things in Lipa Noi, but this is really cool, like a ruin bar in Budapest just on the sea side. The tom yum soup was amazing, the service is perfect (friendly with true smiles). The 4* marks only because it is in Lipa Noi, which is a very remote place of the island far from everything and very quite (good and "bad" at the same time)

  • 2/5 Farzana I. 1 year ago on Google
    The only good thing about this restaurant is the view and beauty of the beach. Service was bad. We ordered food and waited for 1 and half an hour just to find out that the waitress never placed our order. We had to get back to our hotel in an empty stomach.

  • 1/5 Stikorn T. 1 year ago on Google
    Cruel owner, mean and selfish. Food and drink expensive when you compare with other shop. Room it not good, problem with water. I prefer to stay another resorts. Think :)

  • 2/5 Christos R. 1 year ago on Google
    Echoing a similar experience to someone else who came here, we stopped at 9:30pm for two soft drinks and the lady behind the counter was unhappy to server at first. She then reluctantly poured a pineapple juice and and mango/coco milk juice and charged 180 bhat for the two juices: a rip off in my opinion! Will definitely not come back here.

    Container rooms by the beach. We stayed for one night. There is not much going on. Restaurant/bar closes at 8.

  • 5/5 Xoan-Carlos L. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent, friendly service with delicious food in a slightly quirky location. One of the best places to eat in Lipa Noi beach

  • 2/5 Caroline N. 1 year ago on Google
    Sorry, but this is by far the worst restaurant in the area here. Most of the food we ordered was tasteless which is a real shame considering Thai cuisine being so good. Worst Tom Kha I ever ate. Maybe the chef changed, but I really don’t understand all the good reviews. Also overpriced for what you get.

  • 5/5 Pavel R. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant has a really retro style. If you come to these places, I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant. There is a very attentive and kind staff and the food is simply the best.

  • 5/5 Michael K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and quiet at the beach. Friendly stuff, good thai and western food. Happy hour, but after 3 cocktails i forgot the time.

  • 5/5 Swarnabh D. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely beach-front for sunsets. They have a excellent local Thai food and drinks for happy hours. A chill vibe through and through. Give it a try if you're in Samui. They have vegetarian options for most of their menu.

  • 5/5 J.E.T. F. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely beachfront bar and restaurant with delicious food and great happy hour! Great little chilled place to watch the sunset. The massaman curry and pineapple rice were delicious and you can choose your level of spice (mine being low). Don't forget your mosquito spray!

  • 5/5 Aaron B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant (we didn't sleep there) directly at the beach. Nicely done with many colors and some music. Very friendly staff! Quick and engaged, although we were here in the off season. Food and drinks were also nice, so nothing to complain.

  • 5/5 Karolina B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice, quite place to chill, food nothing to special but good and tasty.

  • 4/5 Richey F. 2 years ago on Google
    Laid-back cafe restaurant at the beach, the beach is beautiful, the service, food and drinks pretty good, only the prices felt a bit on the upper end, thus -1. Still, worth a visit.

  • 5/5 John A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little spot on the beach, cold beer good food, near the raja ferry port ideal if you find yourself needing to kill a bit of time before catching a ferry

  • 5/5 Markus K. 2 years ago on Google
    Have only bin here for one night. Bungalows are nice and comfy. The food was very good and the employees helped very much, regarding ferry booking and so on. Can recommend this place. Also the beach in front of the restaurant is very nice and good groomed.

  • 5/5 Karol 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place to stay. Far from crowds. Budget friendly close to the beach. If you stay at their accommodation you get 10% discount on food.

  • 5/5 Tina G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a must visit. The food was exceptional and the service was so polite and friendly. Not to mention the stunning sunset view. The fruit shakes are lovely and fresh and the deep fried red snapper is not to be missed!
