❓ FAQ
Beachfront vs. across the road?
Beachfront is most convenient but pricier. For value, pick “across the road” or a 3–8-minute walk to the sand.
How far in advance should I book?
Peak (New Year/Songkran): 2–4 weeks ahead. Off-peak: 3–7 days is usually fine.
No car—how do I reach the hotel?
From Ao Sapparot pier, hop on a songthaew to the main beaches—or use the Boonsiri Bus + Ferry package with optional hotel drop-off.
