Free parking is available on site, and the hotel offers an airport transfer. Wired internet and satellite channels are available too, and the rooms can have air conditioning, blackout curtains, an in-room safe box and ironing facilities. Lockers and safety deposit boxes are there for guests who want to store their belongings during the day.

The Inspiration Residence is in Rawai, a fishing village on the coast of Phuket, where a working pier and a fish market are part of daily life. The atmosphere is that of a village rather than a resort strip, and the area suits guests who want to be near the water, away from the main beach resorts. The Rawai fish market is a short visit from the hotel, and the pier sits at the edge of the village.

Rawai beach is 550 m away, and the headland of Laem Phromthep, a popular place to watch the sunset, is close by. Nai Harn Beach, a sandy bay 1.3 km away, is another stretch of sand nearby. Big Buddha Phuket, a large seated Buddha on Nakkerd Hills, is 7.1 km away, and the island's best-known Buddhist temple, Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong), is 9.6 km away. Most of these sights are spread across the island, so a car, a scooter or a taxi is the easiest way to reach them.

A good day could begin on Rawai beach and a visit to the fish market, then continue to Big Buddha and Wat Chalong in the afternoon. Rawai Pier, 2 km away, is the village's working harbour, and the sunset at Laem Phromthep makes a fitting end to the day.
