Frequently asked questions
Where is Abou Philippe Resort located?
Abou Philippe Resort is on the Seaside Road in Byblos, the coastal town most people in Lebanon call Jbeil. It sits directly on the water, so the sandy beach and the sea view pool are part of the resort rather than somewhere you drive to afterwards.
If you are coming from Beirut, it is a straightforward run north along the coast. The resort is open from 9am to 10pm, every day of the week.
For directions, or to check access on a particular day, call +961 3 201682 or message the resort on WhatsApp at +961 81 201682.
How much does it cost to stay at Abou Philippe Resort?
Chalets at Abou Philippe Resort start at 100 USD a night for a standard room with a partial view. The same 24 square metre room with a pool and sea view is 120 USD, and the 50 square metre Suite Deluxe is 180 USD.
Every chalet includes access to the sandy beach and the pool, a private balcony, a kitchenette and air conditioning. The standard rooms sleep two on a queen bed and have a sofa bed for a third. The suite adds a separate living room, a second balcony and a full bathroom.
Rates move with the season and with how long you stay, so confirm the price for your own dates on +961 3 201682 before you plan around these numbers.
Is Abou Philippe Resort pet friendly?
Yes. Abou Philippe Resort is pet friendly, so your dog can come with you instead of staying behind for the weekend.
The resort is family friendly as well, which means that on a busy summer day there are children around the beach and the pool alongside the pets.
Where pets can and cannot go, particularly around the pool and inside the chalets, is worth confirming before you arrive on +961 3 201682.
What is included with a chalet at Abou Philippe Resort?
Every chalet at Abou Philippe Resort comes with access to the sandy beach and the swimming pool, a private balcony, a kitchenette and air conditioning.
The two standard rooms are 24 square metres and sleep two on a queen bed, with a sofa bed for a third. The only difference between them is the view, partial in one and pool and sea in the other. The Suite Deluxe is 50 square metres and adds a separate living room, a double balcony and a full bathroom.
There is also a bar and a seafood restaurant on site. Neither is part of the room rate, but between them they mean you can spend a whole day at the resort without leaving it.
Which chalet at Abou Philippe Resort is best for a couple, and which for a family?
For two people, either standard room at Abou Philippe Resort does the job. Both are 24 square metres with a queen bed and a private balcony, and the only real decision is whether the pool and sea view is worth 20 USD a night over the partial view.
For a family, the Suite Deluxe is the one that changes the trip. At 50 square metres with a separate living room, the children can go to bed without everyone else sitting in the dark, and the double balcony gives you somewhere to be afterwards.
A standard room with the sofa bed will take three at a push. If you are four, or you are staying more than a couple of nights, the suite stops being a luxury and becomes the practical choice.
Abou Philippe Resort: Standard Room Deluxe or Suite Deluxe?
The Standard Room Deluxe and the Suite Deluxe at Abou Philippe Resort look out over the same thing, the pool and the sea, so the 60 USD between them is not buying a better view.
What it buys is room. The Standard Deluxe is 24 square metres at 120 USD a night, one space holding a queen bed, a sofa bed, a private balcony and a kitchenette. The Suite Deluxe is 50 square metres at 180 USD, a little over double the floor area, and it splits that space into a separate living room with a double balcony and a full bathroom.
So the real question is whether you need somewhere to sit that is not the bed. For a night or two as a couple, most people do not. For a longer stay, or with children who go to sleep before you do, that separation is the entire point.
