In the sleepy, coastal Pak Nam Pran, you’ll find the equally relaxed Aleenta, the charming, boutique alternative to the big name resorts in the area. Not usually chosen by families, this makes for a great child-free, discreet escape, that is literally on the beach. It has all you need, minus the stiff, business-like manner of some of the bigger hotels. Staff are attentive but with the attitude to let you get on with your holiday.
