Standard room at Delight Resort
Hotel rooms rather than bungalows. They do though have a swimming and a restaurant at this hotel. The rooms all come with air-conditioning, free WiFi and en-suite bathrooms.

Swimming at the Tommy Resort
For many visitors Tommy Resort is the most pleasant resort to stay at on Sunrise Beach. They have nice beach front bungalows and have a reputation for good service, something lacking at a large percentage of the other longer running hotels in Haad Rin.
The Sunset Beach Area is on the south of the Haad Rin peninsula. Sunrise Beach, where the Full Moon Party takes place, is on the North Side. Sunrise Beach Area is 500 metres or less from Sunrise Beach, but it is quieter and better value for money.

The Nap Inn is a city centre hotel
This is fairly new city centre style 2 star hotel. It has no resort style facilities other than a shared TV lounge and a small bar/restaurant. To be honest if you stay here you don’t need them. There are loads of bars and restaurants nearby and you can swim on Sunrise Beach, which is close by. The rooms are clean and smart sized 24 sqm or above with free WiFi, air-conditioning, safe, en-suite bathroom and satellite TV. As a place to stay for a few nights whilst you explore the town, the island and the parties this is a pretty good option.
