Tours can be arranged with the hotel, and the public areas are air-conditioned.

Nathon is the ferry port and one of the main towns on Koh Samui, a busy area of shophouses, markets and local restaurants rather than a beach resort strip. The hotel sits within the town itself, so the market streets and the pier are close at hand. The streets around the pier are busy with arriving travellers and local traders, and in the evenings the night market fills with food stalls. It appeals to travellers who want to be close to the boats and to everyday island life.

The Nathon Night Food Market and Nathon Pier are both 350 m away, and Wat Khongkharam, a pagoda, lies 450 m off. The Coconut Museum is 1.4 km away, and Samui Airport is 14.1 km away, reached by road. Na Muang Waterfall and Maenam Beach are further out of town, and both are reached by the island's roads.

A good day could start with a walk round Nathon and a visit to Wat Khongkharam, then continue by road to Na Muang Waterfall or Maenam Beach. Because the island's sights are spread out, a day in town works well as a relaxed start before a longer trip, and the evening market gives a simple end to the day.
