The 39-room Palita Lodge is a mid-range option with a beautiful garden setting right on Haad Rin Beach. Guests can easily walk to the Full Moon Party, as well as restaurants, bars, and shops, and the hotel offers tours to the waterfalls, temples, and other attractions. Bright Thai-style villas and suites offer flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, and all have furnished balconies. Dining is at a casual restaurant by the beach that serves Thai and Western fare, including a free made-to-order breakfast. The large outdoor pool is a popular hangout spot, and the beach is lovely, but keep in mind that the nearby party scene is robust and rowdy. A similarly priced beachfront option is Le Divine Comedie, which has an all-day breakfast and a fitness center.

The 26-room Sunset Cove Resort is a two-and-a-half-pearl option situated in a quiet jungle setting right on the beach. It's removed from the party scene of Haad Rin, but a few restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Simple, basic cottages come with TVs, DVD players, and mini-fridges, and all have private decks surrounded by jungle. A beachfront restaurant serves a free breakfast, though the highlight here is the beautiful pool overlooking the beach, where sunset views are spectacular. This place is a bit rustic and run-down in spots, and housekeeping is only twice weekly, so it's best for unfussy guests. For a similarly priced alternative with more features, travelers could check out the Milky Bay Resort, which has a playground, table tennis, billiards, and a massage sala.

Located along attractive Leela Beach, a five-minute walk from the action of Haad Rin, this upper-middle-range resort offers 49 contemporary rooms set amid a verdant garden. Modern, minimalist-style rooms have air-conditioning, minibars, kettles, and hammock-equipped terraces, plus whirlpools in some. Facilities include two swimming pools surrounded by sundecks with loungers and umbrellas, a well-regarded beachside restaurant and bar that serves Thai and international dishes, and a spa with Thai-style platforms on the beach. There is no gym, however. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are both free, but the signal can be spotty. Travelers looking for a resort right on Haad Rin beach in a similar price range should check out Palita Lodge, though it lacks a spa.

Lime n Soda Beach Front Resort is a two-pearl hotel set along a narrow white-sand beach in Thong Sala, a 10-minute walk from downtown. It's mainly geared towards young travelers on a shoestring budget who are looking to get away from the hectic Haad Rin scene, where the island's legendary Full Moon Party is held. Hotel facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, a kiteboarding school, plus table tennis and beach volleyball. The 53 guests rooms are typical no-frills budget bungalows and are highly dated and rundown. Higher-category rooms include AC, hot water showers, and TVs, though the entry-level rooms are only equipped with fans. Bungalows do have balconies and some feature sea views. For a more remote and picturesque beachfront getaway, consider Thongtapan Resort in Thong Nai Pan Noi,
