Description

Free WiFi is available in the rooms, and free private parking is provided without a reservation. The pier, local markets and restaurants are also close by in Thong Sala.

Rooms

8 room types · 10–14 m²

The room range includes a family room for up to three people, double rooms and a twin room. Sizes run from 10 to 14 m² among the first eight options, with the family room measuring 12 m². Each of these rooms has a private bathroom, and pool, garden or sea views distinguish several of the choices. Air conditioning is included in most of this selection.

You can choose a double bed, two single beds or, in the family room, one single bed alongside a double bed. The sea-view rooms vary in size and bed type; one 14 m² option also has a balcony and terrace, while other sea-facing rooms are more compact. A garden-view double room has a king-size bed, and the pool-facing choices include both a family layout and a twin configuration. Towels are provided, and the bathrooms have showers.
