We were staying in Ruan Mai overnight before an early flight the next morning and for this purpose we were satisfied. It is very close and cheap to get to the airport. The accommodation was clean and very basic, and appropriate for one or two nights, but not many more. We stayed in a bamboo bungalow and it was sufficient;... More

Next to the beach has a friendly staff. Hotel is 5 minutes from Phuket airport perfect for two/three nights after arrival. Calm beach far away from the crowded other beaches. Easyly comunicated with mainland to perfom daily trip to Pang Gna or Khao lak

We stayed one night in a beach hut, and felt super happy. The huts are marvels of bamboo craftsmanship, and the landscaping is neat and luscious. The huts are at the far end of the beach, away from tourists and near the national park. Highly recommended!
