Near the hotel there is an infrastructure - cafes, shops, an evening market comes twice a week, where everything is cheaper.
I would like to recommend beaches:
We didn’t really like the closest Kata Beach, because there are jet skis, bananas and other tinsel in the sea.
On the right - Karon - I liked it more, it is very long and will be wider. The sand is cleaner and the atmosphere is better.
But most of all we liked the beach to the left of the hotel - Kata Noi - no road between the beach and the hotels, a clean and calm bay, everything for a relaxing holiday.
