Town centre near the beach
Best for: First-timers, seniors and anyone who wants to walk to the beach and station

Beachfront resorts north and south of the centre
Best for: Families who want a pool and a beach garden
Good to know: Large resorts give you lifts, shade and on-site restaurants, which helps with diet requests. You will need a car or Grab for the market and the station.

Khao Takiab and the south
Best for: Quieter stays near Cicada Market and the headland temples
Good to know: Calmer evenings and a quieter beach, but further from town. Check the walking distance to restaurants and pharmacies before booking.

Before you book
What to check when booking for older travellers
- Ask for a lift, or a ground-floor room — many heritage hotels have steps and no lift.
- Check how far the hotel is from the sights you care about, in minutes by road, not kilometres.
- Prefer free cancellation until close to the date, in case plans or health change.
- Look for 24-hour reception, in-house dining and a doctor-on-call policy.
- Read recent reviews for noise — old-city streets and wedding venues can be loud late.
