The property has an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a massage service and room service. It is beachfront, free parking is available on site, and the garden or backyard and the balconies or terraces are part of the grounds.

Guests can arrange tours, car hire and a concierge service, and an airport transfer is available. Activities include snorkelling, diving, canoeing and fishing, and there are luggage storage, laundry service, board games and streaming video services too.

The property is in Bo Phut, a seaside district of Koh Samui with a fishing-village core and a more relaxed pace than the island's busier resort beaches. Hat Bang Rak Beach is next to the property, so the sea is close from the moment you arrive. The area suits guests who want to combine time by the water with easy access to the rest of the island, and the village pace is a good contrast to the busier beaches.

The Big Buddha is 1.7 km away, a large statue that is one of the island's best-known landmarks, and the Fisherman's Village is 2.4 km away, with a walking street of shops and places to eat. Wat Plai Laem, a Buddhist temple known for its large Guanyin statue, is close by, and Central Festival Samui is the place to go for shopping.

Samui Airport is 1.4 km away, so arriving and leaving are straightforward. Chaweng Noi Beach, 5.2 km away, is a sandy bay for a change of scene. For a full day, combine a morning swim at Hat Bang Rak with a visit to the Big Buddha and an afternoon walk through the Fisherman's Village, and keep Na Muang Waterfall, a longer drive away, for another day.
