Advantages:
A solid four, a hotel near the water, all conditions for children, several pools.
Disadvantages:
Based on the fact that everything corresponded to what was stated in the brochure, there are no shortcomings.
The hotel has 6 buildings in total. The hotel is in the shape of a horseshoe, buildings 1 and 6 are closer to the sea. Buildings 4 and 5 are located directly behind the reception.
In the room
- two double beds through the partition and a couch
- two air conditioners
- two umbrellas
- fridge
- 1.5 liter bottle of water (free every day)
- kettle
- 2 mugs, 2 glasses, bottle opener
- television
- shower, toilet, shampoo, shower gel, soap
- if the first floor has its own swimming pool, we liked it.
There are no rooms directly facing the sea.
The hotel is located 40 minutes from the airport, and 30 minutes from Patong, a taxi to the center from 500 baht (round trip). Quiet cozy family hotel, many children. After 22:00 there is peace and quiet, the bar is open until 24, but, as a rule, there is almost no one there. Every day new towels, bedding is changed every 3 days, swimming pools are cleaned daily, there are enough sunbeds for everyone.
The hotel has a gym. It is next to the beach and a restaurant. There are all kinds of trainers. Near the reception there is table tennis, a children's playroom, mini football, basketball, a library.
Bang Tao Beach - one of the longest beaches in Phuket (over 7 km. ) is one of the few beaches where hotels are on the front page. The hotel goes directly to the sea, no need to cross the road, safe for children. Beach chairs are paid - 200 baht.
Breakfast - a varied buffet, enough to eat for half a day : -). There are many local cafes on the streets, we went in, excellent, tasty, not expensive. If you don't eat spicy, say "Know spicy".
An excursion to the Similan Islands was taken from the local bureau, Russian employees, Anna and Alexander. It is noteworthy that they are geographers and professionals, and not just anyone : -) On the islands, the beaches with white sand and real azure water are steeper than in Phuket. Beauty, ships and people in turquoise water and you are in the foreground : -). The photo is the envy of everyone.
I really enjoyed staying here, we recommend it to everyone!
All Super!!!
We flew with the North Wind airline, in principle everything is fine. The food, of course, is, to put it mildly, peculiar.
Well, in general, everything is fine.
The tour operator "Pegas Touristik" was met, as always, you won't pass by. No complaints.
We arrived at the hotel, I don’t remember exactly, at 12-00. We met with flower beads, wet wipes and a glass of refreshing liquid. It was very pleasant.
They settled without waiting for 14-00. They immediately gave a good number. (4311.4-building 3-floor. The view from the balcony is one of the best.
The room itself is huge. Two double beds pushed together would fit five people easily. The room has two air conditioners that work independently of each other. A small refrigerator, a kettle, a hairdryer, a safe, two umbrellas, a liter bottle of water every day, a TV with three Russian channels.
Bathroom. Shower only ceiling, plumbing standards.
On the balcony there are chairs and a table, a towel dryer.
The room was cleaned every day and was quite clean.
Separately, I want to focus on the staff. Early in the morning I was in a hurry to go on an excursion and forgot to close the safe. There were passports, money... We arrived in the evening, the safe was open, everything was in place. Therefore, I consider the talk about theft from the rooms groundless.
The food at the hotel is normal. Breakfast was included. The hungry did not leave, although they came last, because they went swimming before breakfast.
The territory is beautiful, clean, well-groomed. There is a gym, masseuses. . .
The beach is right behind the bar. The ebbs and flows are almost invisible. There are catering points on the beach, some are even nothing. An elephant comes every day, cheers up vacationers. guys and took a wonderful fishing trip.
In the morning, a minivan picked us up from the hotel and took us to the port of Chalong. Almost all fishing boats start from there. As soon as the boat left the port, our sailor throws the tackle overboard and sets up the fishing rods. Before lunch, the boat circles the nearest islands trying to find fish. All my vivid impressions were when, at low speed, the ship drags gear behind it, and the people sitting on the boat are impatiently waiting for the reel to crackle. To be honest, during my stay here, I never saw a marlin, I caught barracuda a couple of times and almost always caught tuna. Tuna is sea beef. There are a lot of this fish everywhere and it is interesting to fish for it. If the tuna is biting, then you can pull out more than one, two or even three at a time. As soon as the ship has sailed over the school of tuna, the ratchet on all coils is activated simultaneously. The ship slows down and all our honest company enthusiastically pulls the fish.
For lunch, the boat gets into the bay near the island of Racha, this is a very beautiful place with clear water, where we swam and snorkeled. The sailor and the captain prepared the caught fish for you for dinner. After lunch, the boat drifts, everyone is given bottom fishing rods, and we fished on them for about an hour. I advise everyone!
In the evenings there was live music in the hotel restaurant, we learned about it in the last three days. . . )))
We were satisfied with the hotel.
The flight was postponed for 14 hours. We were extended the rooms for a day and meals, plus we were fed dinner. Thanks to the Tour Operator and the Carrier. For paying for one more day at the hotel.
Who has questions, write, I will answer.
Taxi drivers, of course, are arrogant, you have to bargain and then the price can be dropped at least twice. Now they generally oppose "Russian business in Phuket", that is, that our tourist pays them in full, and they cheat in full. But who is not the first time in Thailand they know that the "taxi mafia" rules there and you have to bargain with them and the fact that they are impudent is a fact! Excursions were also taken from the Alex-tour agency, it is clear that everything is well organized with the guys and with a Russian-speaking escort. So that everyone understands, they can ask about the details of interest and don’t go where they don’t need to - we are not strong in English. In general, I recommend the place and the hotel and the Alex-tour agency to all newcomers to Phuket, have a good rest, gentlemen, just behave yourself so that they don’t say that Russian tourists are the most ill-mannered in the world...
The hotel area is just 5 ++++, everything is in flowers, immersed in greenery, ponds with fish, turtles, pleasant music sounds on the territory. Wonderful playground. During our period it rained every day. therefore, the surface of the playground was sometimes damp, but not where the slides/swings are. The coating does not stink : ))) Excellent restaurants. Here is the only remark, the summer terrace began to work only from 11 am to 5 pm, I would like it to start working at least from 10 am. You swim in the pool and you want to drink, you have to climb out of the water and go to the beach in another restaurant.
The staff is just darling!! ! The maid cleaned us without any complaints, without any tips, even we didn’t even know that we should leave a tip : ))) And on the balcony, including, even our things were cleaned on the table. Thanks a lot!
The waitresses are just kindness itself. All the waiters in the restaurants just did not blow off the dust particles from us. Fulfilled every wish. The food in the restaurant is excellent, you can safely go with a child, you won’t be left hungry, there is EVERYTHING: omelettes, pancakes, pancakes, buns, scrambled eggs, milk cereals, milk soups....you can’t list everything....meat, vegetables, seafood, how many fruits are there?
In the morning, afternoon and evening, they are engaged with the children, playing different games, in the evening there is a disco and then cartoons on the big screen on the seashore. Well done animators, children are crazy about them!
I recommend to families with children. And don't listen to the kids getting sick in this hotel. We traveled with our 5 year old daughter and 7 month old son. Both children swam in all the pools, neither of them picked up anything.
