Travel Tips

The hotel offers no on-site parking, so if you’re renting a scooter, you can find cheap secure parking within a two-minute walk of the property. Book the hotel’s paid airport shuttle in advance to avoid inflated taxi fares at Phuket International Airport, which is roughly a 45-minute drive away. The hotel charges small additional fees for walking tours, laundry service, and business center services, so keep a little cash on hand for incidentals. Start each day with the hotel’s served breakfast, which offers both Thai and Western options to fuel you for a day of exploring. For travelers who prefer to stay in, the on-site mini-market stocks snacks, water, and basic travel essentials any time of day.
