Star Light Bungalow

Overview

Booking sites list this one as Starlight Haadrin Resort, and its appeal is flexibility. You can keep things basic in a fan-cooled bungalow or pay a little more for an air-conditioned room, all on the Haad Rin Nai side of the peninsula, the quieter beach that faces the sunset.

The air-conditioned options include queen and twin rooms looking over the garden, plus quadruple rooms for small groups, and rooms open onto a balcony or terrace. The restaurant sits by the beach and serves Thai food, with room service available if you'd rather stay put.

There's a garden and terrace, a private beach area, and a children's play space, which is unusual in party-focused Haad Rin. Staff can also arrange massages, snorkelling and diving.

Location

The resort is at 111 Moo 6 in Haad Rin, right on Haad Rin Nai beach according to listings. Sunrise Beach and the Full Moon Party are about 1.1 km away on the other side of the village.

Haad Rin's pier, shops and restaurants are within walking distance, and Thong Sala is a drive of roughly half an hour.

Good to know

• Fan bungalows don't have air-conditioning; check the room type if that matters.
• There's no swimming pool.
