An enjoyable stay. The smart-value, modern Sugar Marina Resort is located close to the beach (a 5-minute walk) and a 10-minute drive from gay scene in Patong Town.

The resort offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, flat screen TV, DVD player and en suite bathroom with either a rain shower or a bathtub.

There is a decent-sized gym and a large outdoor pool with a wide sun deck. Onsite restaurant serves Thai and international cuisine, but there are many dining choices nearby. Friendly staff.
