Travel Tips

The nearest beach is accessible via the hotel for a small fee, so pack lightweight beach gear if you plan to spend days on the sand. Extra towels and linen incur an extra charge, so bring your own beach towel if you prefer to avoid the fee. Book airport transfer or car rental directly through the hotel for discounted, hassle-free service, and note that the front desk speaks fluent English and Thai, so communication is easy for international travelers. For day trips around the island, rent a bicycle from the hotel to explore quiet local backroads at your own pace.
