The resort operates free shuttles to and from designated spots on the island. Interesting excursion programmes and ticketings cab be arranged by the personnel of the on-site tour desk.

We just loved the hotel so much. The view was incredible. We loved the villa style/design. I liked the bedding so much I wish I could have bring the whole with me. Staff is incredibly kind and helpful. They helped us with transfers, scooter rentings, diving equipment... also you have a minicar service to go up to your villa, which was ready to fetch us every single time! Oh and the breakfast : different cuisines, lots of choices, juice... etc... the best I ever had.

Located 1.2 km from Shark Bay and 1.3 km from Mae Haad Pier, Aukotan Place offers comfortable rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. Guests can make use of a transfer provided from the pier to the hotel free of charge.

The hotel is wonderful. The room is spacious, the beds and pillows are very comfortable, the bed linen is made of cotton, there is hot water in the shower. The hotel is quiet, there were no neighbors or extraneous sounds from the street. There is a small balcony - convenient for drying things. The price includes breakfast, you can choose American (sausage, bacon, egg, toast, coffee or tea) or children's (cereals, milk, toast, jam, banana, coffee or tea). There is a store on the ground floor of the building. A cafe and a massage parlor can be reached on foot. I highly recommend this hotel as you will get much more amenities than you pay for. The staff is friendly and the girl at the reception speaks English.

Super quiet location with lovely little beach. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the breakfast was good. we always rent a scooter so only 5 -10 minutes to area with restaurants etc. if you’re walking probably a bit too far to go every day. Would highly recommend.

    Outstanding hotel! The room was spotless, lovely design and layout. Lovely resort but a small complex. Staff were super helpful, would message instantly on WhatsApp with any questions, would reiterate that delivery services would be closing each day incase you wanted food ordering in. The views from the balconies / pool were outstanding.

    The hotel was lovely, and the food and drinks from the cafe delicious! It's very central so easy to organise ourselves. There is a gorgeous boutique, gelato shop and ramen shop right there. Laundry could be done through the hotel, and they provided us with umbrellas, snorkels and masks and beach sarongs for use during our stay. Lovely staff.

    Absolutely great hostel! 5 stars type of a hostel. Very central location, 15 meters from the beach (you only need to cross the walk way) or if you want you can go to rooftop pool, great WiFi, huge lockers (and don't need to have a lock of your own), hot water and clean facilities all around, modern design and lots of space to hang out at the hostel or to meet people. I definitely recommend staying here.

    Very relaxing, tranquil place! We stayed in the ocean view room and it was beautiful and relaxing having a coffee on the balcony looking out over the jungle and sea. Bed and bedding super comfy! Very classy modern design and relaxing colour palette! Friendly staff. Buffet breakfast. Free shuttles to and from the beach but we mainly walked down to the beach (only 10min).

    We liked the interior design of the room. It really gave you the feeling, like you are in the beach house. The location was good, next to the beginning of the street where everything is going on. You could do loundry. The swimming pool was amazing and views were stunning. Sunset was - oh my god! Friendly people at the restaurant. It was quiet.
