I will rest in the Marina until May 6th. If you have questions, then ask. I will answer everyone))
His breakfasts are a combination of European and Thai cuisine. Fruits are enough. I won’t repeat myself in detail, everything has been described a hundred times, but I just don’t agree about the monotony of the kitchen. There is none. The room has everything including toothbrushes and toothpaste. You don't need to bring anything with you. Gels, conditioners, shampoos. Even a comb and a set of threads with a needle. They wrote that a hair dryer is something similar to a hose from a vacuum cleaner. Probably, the hotel has been renovated. Nothing of the kind was found. All rooms are decorated in Thai style, equipped with modern appliances, free WI-FI and comfortable furniture. Even more beautiful on the territory. What grows and often does not grow in our pots is abundant and gigantic. Birds sing, squirrels jump, palm trees rustle in the wind with foliage, and in the evening, when you sit on the terrace with a glass of good wine, eat incomparable pineapples, you feel How do you get into nirvana?
Now about the beach. It is 50 meters from the hotel. Karon is one of the most wonderful and clean beaches in Phuket. The sand "sings" amazingly under your feet. You can go snorkeling near the rocks. There is an underwater world with fish and starfish. The water is purest. Well, that's about the hotel. Only positive.
Excursions were taken without fear in the Russian travel agency "Treasure Island". Advised to start with Fr. Krabi. This is a magical excursion!! ! It combines the ethnics of the country and the beauty of the sea. There are no crowds of people, there were exactly as many of us as the boat accommodated and that's it !! ! Polina (an employee of a travel agency) told the truth that after Krabi you won’t want to go anywhere for the reason that you will see everything at once. Then I also wanted the originality of this people. We took Khao juice. It's not bad too. Well, we went to Semilans from activity. It's beautiful, but everything is fast, crowds follow crowds. But I also had to go. Go to the Simon Cabaret show, FantaSia. "X-show" - FUUUUUU!
Separately, two words about Thai cuisine. At first it was exotic, then it was already nauseating from some smells, and then the intestines rebelled. There were no poisonings. I wanted not sweet-chini-spicy meat, but just meat. Well, in general, they ate calmly in macarons (even very much), and in restaurants for 300-400 baht, and for 1500 baht. Only if you feel a stomach problem, approach the menu more carefully, without experimenting.
I give the hotel a legal "5"! I liked Thailand. One positive. Beautiful iridescent, peaceful temples and adjacent parks. Warm, sincere smiles of villagers, elephant drivers, Russian-speaking guides, just residents. Get a massage. Such a treatment for a body ossified from urbanization!
Now I offer some photos. Enjoy. Write if you have any questions. You can't tell about all the impressions. I wish you to choose a hotel suitable for you and arrange a well-deserved holiday for body and soul!! !
We went with the Tez-tour, the guide is good, but very expensive excursions. We went on a free sightseeing tour with them, we were driven around factories and shops all day, especially for a long time in a latex factory, where pillows are 100 dollars. The guide did not say anything, bored and spent the day. Then we again went on a sightseeing tour from Treasure Island, this is a tour desk across the road from the hotel, with a large yellow sign in Russian, where the guide told a lot about the country all the way, stopped by the big Buddha and the ancient temple, watched the show with king cobra and baby elephant show. I liked it very much and without any divorce on the pillows. Pillows, we still bought in this bureau, 2 times cheaper than the Tez tour offered, but the quality is the same.
We went on excursions - Phi Phi Islands, to James Bond Island, went on safari to the mainland - they rode rafts, on elephants, visited turtles and a waterfall. I liked everything very much, it was superbly organized, we always had a Russian guide, Yulia, with us, she is very interesting and tells a lot. We bought excursions to Treasure Island, too, several times cheaper than the guide, but still everyone is sailing in the same boat. The islands took about 1500 per person, a safari is a little more expensive, the guide costs 3000 pee per person. We went to the Fantasy show, it was great, to the show of transvestites and we were also persuaded by the girl manager from the bureau to go to an erotic show, that's something! I couldn’t even speak after the show, I was in such shock, and my husband says that he has lived for almost 40 years, but he has never seen such debauchery.
In general, I recommend the hotel and Phuket to everyone! Vacation went great! If you have any questions - write, I will answer. Bonus-apple@mail. ru Anna
