Hands down the best family focused beach club. Right on Bangtao beach with a cooling swimming pool too. Sunday Brunches are the arguably the best on the island for choice, quality, and free flow drinks. And they have great sunsets too.

Part of Pavillions hotel, Firefly does good brunches and food - although a little but on the pricey side. Cocktails are really good. And they have a beautiful poll that can be used before 7pm if you dine.

Shopping
Friday night market is fun with good mix of food options. But please take your own food boxes and utensils if you can, and a cup for drinks helps. Not all stall owners are green and so a lot of plastic can be produced in a single evening.

Parks & Nature
If you are an early bird, this is a great beach to head to as you will be the only one on this small stretch of sand. Easy to miss if you are driving, and a steep walk down a hill make it less popular than other beaches. Not manned by life guards but in Nov-Apr the waters are calm and crystal clear. Also a small hut selling food and drinks. Basic / no facilities though, and watch out for the monkeys.
