I usually don’t write reviews, but since I couldn’t find any details before choosing a hotel, I decided to write. Stayed at this hotel for 11 days in January 2022. We arrived in the evening so we were seated right away. There were problems with the room, with a sleeping place for the child, but this is a mistake of our travel agent, the Thais should not be taken at their word... they promised that there would be a sofa in the room, but upon check-in they asked for an additional fee. place 500 baht per day.
The hotel itself is located on a mountain. Tiers. if you have small children and you are with a stroller, this is not an option... BUT Tuk-tuk constantly runs around the territory, it’s hard to walk even up to building 4, not to mention 8-9 and villas. We were settled in building 4, which is approximately the middle of the territory to the top. At first we didn’t understand how lucky we were and then we appreciated the beauty of the location. . . in our block there was an elevator that everyone went up to the 4th floor, then across the bridge to another block, then up the stairs one floor up and you are already at BREAKFAST in the restaurant . Here in the restaurant in the evening for 549 baht per person there is a buffet. Above the restaurant there are several more buildings 8-9 you can climb to them by ESCOLATOR or from the 1st block (lobby) by Tuk-tuk.
The beach near the hotel is bad. . . you can take a picture and watch the sunset, but you can't swim. 10-15 minutes walk to Patong.
IN THE ROOM: everything is old, worn out, and dirty. . . shabby mirrors, terrible plumbing, rusty smudges and dirt. The sockets ate to hold on, there is a kettle, but it is impossible to put it on, the sockets fall out. I had to take an extension cord and put everything on it that I can. There is very little light in the room, it is dark and one table lamp is broken... we had to fix it ourselves. And the SMELL is just a song. . . a constant smell of dampness and mold. Almost no clothes were hung in the closet, it stank most of all from there.
The territory is beautiful... The pools are cool, we swam in everyone in turn... before lunch we went to the sea after going to the pool in the evening in search of food... from the hotel on the right side in the evening come shopkeepers with Thai food, very tasty, but the fish small and expensive, they went to Patong for it there and the size is larger and cheaper and there is a small selection.
There is almost no fruit near the hotel, only in one tray next to the supermarket.
Attention PCR - this is another quest... upon arrival on the island at the Airport, PCR is done, after 8-10 hours the result comes to the mail. Then on the 6th day you have to go and take the 2nd PCR yourself, the guides don’t care how you get there and how you pass it, you do everything yourself, the taxi is very expensive, look for those who also have to take the 2nd PCR on this day and take a taxi together (red minivans near the road). We passed the next stage of the PCR quest before departure.
I warn you that any member of your family or company can get a positive result... regardless of whether they are sick or not, vaccinated or not, have symptoms or not... So I advise: take additional insurance for staying in a quarantine hotel. Ask your travel agents about it, they don't talk about it themselves.
Repeated PCR costs about 3.000 baht, if you are a contact, then accommodation in a quarantine hotel will be at your expense.
Conclusion: if you want comfort and cleanliness, then you are not here. BUT if you like large areas and many pools, flowers, greenery and it's not a problem for you to walk up the hill... THEN I RECOMMEND.
Look at the photos, draw conclusions, be careful with PCR... and rest to the fullest.

I stayed at the hotel in April with the TPG tour operator. I flew with a friend. Everything was organized just fine, escort, meeting, round-the-clock communication, comfortable flights and assistance in every matter from the tour operator. We arrived at the hotel after 15.00, so we were settled immediately.

I stayed at the hotel in April with the TPG tour operator. I flew with a friend. Everything was organized just fine, escort, meeting, round-the-clock communication, comfortable flights and assistance in every matter from the tour operator. We arrived at the hotel after 15.00, so we were settled immediately. Upon check-in, the reception staff took a deposit and spoke in detail about the service. Very nice and polite people, helpful and friendly. They gave us an ocean view room, stylish and modern, spacious, clean and very comfortable. Two beds, bright beautiful furniture, TV, kettle, wardrobe, safe. There is a set of tea and coffee, water in glass bottles, slippers, bathrobes, beach bag. Bathroom with shower and full bath. Cosmetics and towels in the right amount. Room service is fast and high quality, there were no complaints about cleaning at all. The territory of the hotel is large, a lot of greenery, vegetation, shuttles run around the territory. The location of the hotel on a hill is by no means its minus, rather the opposite - the beauty is simply indescribable and quiet, calm, peaceful atmosphere for a good rest. The staff and service at the hotel are at a high level, everyone is diligent, attentive, responsive and communicative. Near the hotel there are several restaurants and inexpensive cafes, an exchange office, a market, massage parlors. The hotel itself also has a spa, we tried honey wraps and full body massages there - expensive, but unrealistically cool ! ! Breakfast at the hotel with a good choice and rich assortment, but a little monotonous. In addition to the usual scrambled eggs, fruits, vegetables and pastries, there is also soup, hot dishes, side dishes, salad and more. The pool at the hotel is clean, plenty of sunbeds, cleaned daily. I liked the beach more than the one across the road, it was easier to cross at the neighboring hotel, along the transition. The beach is clean and well-groomed, there are practically no stones. The water is warm, there were no waves. The rest flew by like one day, so we felt good and comfortable here. We definitely plan to visit this hotel again in the future and recommend it to everyone! Thanks!

Were at the hotel from 10 to 20 January 14 with children. The hotel is not bad, but not suitable for people aged and with children under school age. Children there, especially if they do not know how to swim, there is nothing to do. And walking through the stairs is a good exercise. I lost some weight in two weeks.

Were at the hotel from 10 to 20 January 14 with children. The hotel is not bad, but not suitable for people aged and with children under school age. Children there, especially if they do not know how to swim, there is nothing to do. And walking through the stairs is a good exercise. I lost some weight in two weeks. Settled quickly enough, they even forgot to take a deposit. When checking out, I paid for water from the minibar. and there were no problems either. (I don’t know, maybe because when I checked in I gave 1000 baht at the reception and left 40 baht for cleaning two rooms, I just read in other reviews that there were problems). Russian is not spoken. The territory is green, although it is large but useless, for the entire time of rest it was once walked around for a photo and that's it. For the photo, gorgeous views of the sea open up. Pools empty masimum 4-5 people resting by the pools and even empty. Heaven for honeymooners. And since hotels in Thailand are used mainly for overnight stays, some of the pluses look dubious (a large area, a number of pools and restaurants) Once a lizard ran into the room, and a centipede crawled in the restaurant, there were no more living creatures, mosquitoes bothered a little just a little bit. In general, there were positive impressions both about the hotel and about Thailand. Separately, I would like to note the host guide from Sayam Travel Igor, a very attentive and decent employee. there were riots in Bangkok and he replaced Bangkok with Pattaya. I didn’t give the hotel a five for several reasons, and more about this in more detail about all the pluses, usually the hotel itself will tell everything, and I consider it necessary to highlight the shortcomings, maybe it will come in handy for someone. Firstly, walking to Patong Beach is 500 meters and this is without sidewalks (the sidewalks are full of mopeds) and the traffic there is not weak, it seems to be not very annoying, but it’s uncomfortable to come to rest, and then the moment of the metropolis is before your eyes every day. Secondly, the food at the hotel did not work out, I visited about 10 hotels in different countries and 2 in Thailand, so in my opinion this hotel has the most disgusting food, extremely monotonous. You will be full, you can even pop out of the table like a bun, but the set of dishes is monotonous, only eggs and ham, the rest is like Thai dishes that no one eats spicy and tasteless on day 3. Just a little pineapple and a little bit of baking and it helped out. No oatmeal for the kids. Whoever writes that the food is good apparently has not seen anything better. In the third, in the second building, repairs were made in one room and they were noisy. You have to eat in the city, a good Kalim restaurant at the crossroads is about 200 baht for one dish. to the left of the hotel. Good pizzeria (the pizza company) on Banglaroad. Awesome ice cream in Jungceylon near the boat. Sometimes you want Russian food and Russian restaurants use this. They went to Uncle Yura's cafe twice but were not satisfied, they forget which order dishes are served worse than Thai restaurants. They take advantage of the fact that the Russians will come anyway and this is not pleasant. But these shortcomings do not spoil the impressions of the hotel and the rest in general, you definitely want to return to Thailand. I treat these little things with irony; I see no reason to spoil my impression of the country.

Where we just weren't with my husband. But recently we decided to go to the mysterious Thailand. All the time I was worried why such prices are low, will the quality of service really be bad or something will be wrong?

Once in the Blue Marine Resort & Spa 4 *, we realized that it was just a heavenly vacation and our expectations were not deceived. As a matter of fact, why not save on the cost of the tour, if Sanmar provides such a great opportunity. Apparently, this is such a marketing ploy: a low price and an excellent level of service, all in order to please the client. Bravo, Sanmar! The booking system through the company's website is a super solution for busy people. Very cool!

Cleaning was done every day, always quite clean. The staff is polite, responsive to any request)))) The breakfasts are quite varied, nothing had time to get bored even after 2 weeks of staying at the hotel! Near my room there was a swimming pool, sunbeds, umbrellas. The hotel is on a hill, away from all the hype. You can also take a bus to the main street, where all the entertainment facilities are 15 minutes walk, which will pick you up from there. I really liked the massage parlors, you can only choose a hotel with a folding bed, but you should definitely do a massage, here the people have golden hands, but otherwise - clubs, bars, cafes, restaurants - super! It was a pleasure to rest here, choose this hotel and you will not regret anything, be sure!! !

The location of the hotel is good, nearby there is a shop, a pharmacy, a cafe, etc. Our room was in the main building of the hotel, on the 3rd floor, with a gorgeous view of the sea from the balcony. The room has a refrigerator, air conditioning, hair dryer, TV (it is not clear why =)))), from the furniture a bed. a wardrobe, bedside tables, a couple of armchairs, in general, quite spacious, but at the same time a cozy little room. The only negative is that it’s better to bring soap accessories with you, as I understand they are not issued here to all categories of rooms, but everything is cool, but also, no matter how much tip you leave here, cleaning will remain mediocre))) We are not picky, we only it was enough! The breakfasts are ordinary, but everything is quite satisfying and nutritious! As soon as you leave the hotel, you notice a bunch more places where you can eat tasty and inexpensively, we really liked their mobile patches, where they make barbecue and delicious pancakes. The beach is sandy, not far from the hotel, about 10 minutes, in the morning the water is always cleaner, but you can swim wonderfully during the day. We went to the islands where James Bond was filmed. it's great there! Also were on Phi Phi liked it! In general, the rest turned out to be positive and exciting, although they say that the hotel is not so important for Tai, we like to rest in comfortable conditions, so for people like us we recommend this hotel!

This is just a luxury hotel. We rested from June 6.2012 for two weeks. We were settled very quickly in a luxurious room! The hotel's beach is located across the road, there are several cool pools on the territory, they offer stunning views of the sea, as well as from the restaurant where the food is awesome, they only took breakfast, after which they only had dinner! In general, the very friendly hotel staff with their smiles even more cheered up on vacation =) It’s not far from the entertainment from the hotel, only 15 minutes at a calm pace, but my wife and I rented a motorbike and traveled the whole island on it, in general, entertained ourselves how could! Rest is just wonderful!.

Stayed at the hotel for 1 day with my husband. We were seated quickly, we didn't have to wait. The furniture in room 4024 is decent, although the balcony door was broken and wouldn't close. The glass in the shower cabin is not cleaned, traces of water deposits are visible in the bathroom, maybe nothing for anyone, but it was unpleasant for me to take a shower.

Breakfast is ordinary, European on the open terrace with a magnificent view of the sea. The deposit was returned without question, the staff is helpful. You will have to walk a decent distance along the promenade to the public beach. Near the hotel there is only a wild beach and a rocky shore. The hotel does not pull on a four ((((

They settle for a long time... Example: 1) A family with three children was kept from 7 am to 12, although the hotel was at most half full. 2) Siberians - about 9 people with children sat at the reception for 3 hours. The room is moldy and stinks. Plumbing does not work and is not being repaired. Example: The drain plug did not open in the bathroom.

Repaired 40 minutes... He said that he had done everything... I checked - it does not work... Repaired another 15 minutes... I didn’t, I left... They cheat when booking holiday tables - they change the numbering of tables after the fact. Example: 4 families from Russia signed up for the first tables to the stage, and ended up in the gallery in the evening, because... they changed the card. They charge a deposit and hold tourists hostage until you pay again. Guides from Mostrevel will not help you. Do not go to this hotel!! !

I really liked the hotel. We went through Pegasus. We lived in the Royal Sea View room, the room was cleaned daily, linen was changed 1 time in 2 days. The staff is excellent. We moved around the hotel in small jeeps, free buses run to the beach and to the shopping centers-Jangtseylon and to the Festival Center at regular intervals (take away and pick up).

We moved around the hotel in small jeeps, free buses run to the beach and to the shopping centers-Jangtseylon and to the Festival Center at regular intervals (take away and pick up). This is a good savings on a taxi, which costs 200 baht (200 rubles) there. The beach next to the hotel is rocky, you can swim there, but we drove a little to the left of the hotel or walked for about 10 minutes, there is sand. Patong beach is very clean and calm. My husband and I went to Karon, we didn’t make a special impression, yes there is sand that is crisp like snow, but there are big waves. Do not spare money for excursions, it's worth it. We took all excursions from Pegasus, many thanks to them for the organization, everything was clearly carried out. If there were any changes, the hotel guide called in advance and notified. Go to the Similan Islands, it's heaven on earth!! ! Go rafting, ride elephants, when you sit on the elephant's head and suddenly start to slide, he holds you with his ears. Elephants are very smart and cute animals, amazing energy comes from them. Our hotel has a wonderful guide Tonya, we liked working with her, the person knows his stuff. People be vigilant at the expense of excursions through other companies. The fact is that we decided to go to Simon Cabaret through Rousseau Turisto (excursion bureau in Phuket), paid 950 baht for places, which cost 600 baht, they didn’t come for us at the appointed time, they called us back, they told us that something was messed up there , offered to go to the show in 2 days, we insisted on the same day, only at the latest time, they said there would be VIP seats, and they put us at the very end on the side, called back this company-RUSSO TOURISTO, a Thai came up, said that this whole hall and there are VIP places, some kind of nonsense. It's good that there were few people in the hall, they moved closer. It is better to go through a proven tour operator, the service is appropriate. When you're in Jungceylon mall, go to Fuji, it's amazingly delicious. I liked Thai food, I won’t say that it’s very spicy, it’s very tasty to cook everything. There is a Kalim restaurant next to the hotel to the left, go there, you won’t regret it. Have a nice holiday everyone.
