Sun & Sand Twin Beach is a 2-star hotel in Cox's Bazar.

Only under the current government restrictions, and you must check them before booking anything in Teknaf, 80 km south. Since 2024 visitor numbers to Saint Martin's have been capped, overnight stays limited to certain months, and the island closed to tourists in February, with the Teknaf–Saint Martin's ships running on a season-by-season basis rather than a fixed annual schedule. A travel pass and photo ID are normally required, and departures are early morning from the Naf river jetty. If the season is closed, Moheshkhali — 30 minutes by speedboat from 6 No. Ghat — is the realistic island alternative.

Kolatoli is the best all-round base, with the widest choice of hotels, the shortest airport transfer at 3–4 km, and beach access plus restaurants within walking distance. Laboni suits you if you want the busiest stretch of sand and the Burmese Market on your doorstep, and it tends to run $10–$25 a night cheaper for a similar standard. Sugandha, in between, is the one to pick for seafood stalls at night. If you want quiet rather than convenience, Inani at 32 km or Himchari at 18 km along Marine Drive give you sea and little else, and you will be eating in your hotel.

July and August are the cheapest, with discounts of 40–60% off winter rates because the monsoon brings 700–900 mm of rain in July and a rough, often red-flagged sea. A sea-facing three-star that asks $90 in late December can fall to $25–$35 in mid-monsoon. Ramadan is the other genuine bargain window, quiet across Kolatoli and Inani, though many local restaurants close during daylight and the Eid week immediately afterwards is the most expensive of the year. September is the sweet spot if you want low rates with fewer washouts.

Three nights covers it properly, and four is comfortable. You need one day for the town beaches at Laboni and Sugandha, one for the Marine Drive run to Himchari and Inani, and one for a boat day to Moheshkhali from 6 No. Ghat. Two nights only works if you fly the one-hour Dhaka–CXB route rather than taking the 8–9 hour train. Add a fifth night if you intend to reach Teknaf, 80 km south, or Dulahazara Safari Park, 50 km north in Chakaria.

Cox's Bazar Airport (CXB) is inside the town at Jhilongja, so it is only 3–4 km and about 10 minutes to Kolatoli and 5–6 km to Laboni or Sugandha. A hotel pickup or booked microbus costs roughly $6–$12; a CNG auto-rickshaw from the gate is $3–$5 if you agree the fare first. Resorts at Inani are 32 km away and will quote $20–$30 for the transfer along Marine Drive. If you arrive by rail instead, the Cox's Bazar Iconic Railway Station is about 9 km from the beach hotels.
