If you are not a member of the Rockefeller family, feel free to choose any ordinary hotel in the north-west of the island. Keep in mind that the location of some hotels marked in a wrong way on maps. So the hotel which seems to be the closest to the beach, in reality may appear be on the other side of the island.

Captain Hook Resort is located just a bit to the south from out Beach. Unfortunately, it is isolated from the island's road network, so kayak is the only way to get to the former South Beach of Soneva Kiri.
