The beach was not near, you should go round the restaraunts, other hotels by the road to reach the beach. Still it is not too long, nearly 10 minutes. But going in towels by the road and in front of eating people is not very convenient. Also the last day when we had to go to Phuket town and then to Lanta, we asked staff about the cheapest way to do it by local bus. However, they continue to promote boat trip that was very expensive. Finally, we asked person on the street about bus station and caught bus there. Overall trip to Phuket town bus terminal 2, then to Ko Lanta terminal was three times cheaper then boat trip (this is for family, for solo traveler it will be much cheaper). So if you want to economize your budget, do not listen to hotel staff promoting expensive trips.The staff was helpful and supportive. They help us to organize trip to James Bond Island. The room was spacious and clean. Wi-fi was good and no problems with hot water. All basic facilities were in the room. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
