Главное, солнце, море и воздух The main thing is the sun, sea and air

A few words about the location and infrastructure.
The hotel is located in a small bay called Lonely Beach. The coast, 500 meters, is dotted with several hotels, 2-4 units, and the rest is a bungalow or a place for "alternative development" (Pan Pumpkin's houses or "I blinded him from what was"). Well, the appropriate contingent. Hangouts, almost around the clock, but "peaceful". In the hotel area, everything is traditional: a lot of Russians, a few older couples from the West, a few extreme couples from Germany or France. Beach in places with rocks or sandbars. Not very clean, cleaned only in the morning and in the hotel area. As in Goa, cows can wander onto the beach or dogs will come running to “check in” in the sea. Not everywhere entry into the water is convenient. In some places the bottom is rocky and it is difficult to enter the water, especially for children and pensioners. Speaking of children. If you are tired of children's voices and running around, then you are here. Children are almost invisible. The sea is very warm. Quite a gentle coast, in order to plunge headlong, you need to walk 30 meters. After low tide, which starts at about 2 pm, it becomes even shallower. What is especially impressive, because. it's the greenery surrounding the lagoon! It is emerald-dark in color, sometimes even black-green! Real jungle! In the background, mountains rise sharply, a la Avatar, completely covered with rainforest! When you look at it, everything else fades into the background. No wonder the bay was named Lonely Beach.
Of the shortcomings of this location, it is worth recognizing the lack of civilization in terms of eating and buying. On the entire coast it is impossible to buy anything, except for the bars at the hotels! Those. if you want ice cream, cookies, a band-aid for a scratch, sunblock, slippers, a pack of juice, etc. , you will have to paddle to the nearest village. Saves a little shop, to the right of the hotel, 200 meters, but the choice of goods there is poor. If you go even further, 400-500 meters, you will find yourself in a small village, where traditional stalls of souvenirs and all kinds of beach junk alternate with cafes of various sizes. Normal establishments differ, first of all, in appearance, neatness and cleanliness. Unfortunately, there are very few places like this. The average bill for a dinner for two, without alcohol, is about 600 baht ($20). In a hotel, such gatherings will be 30-40 percent more expensive.

If you want something more exotic, fresh fish or lobster, then you need to go south to the fishermen's village on Bang Bao. Local taxi, for 50 baht per person. get there in less than 10 minutes. "In the city on the water", as tourists call it, you can eat in a cafe with fresh seafood, buy souvenirs or go boating.
If you drive further north, you will find yourself in the village of Ka-Bey. There are many SPA salons, two supermarkets, an exchange office, many cafes, etc.
In the village, near the hotel, there is a rental of motorbikes, 200 batsutki, a passport as a deposit.
Now, about the hotel itself.
The territory is small, but well-groomed. Many colors. Slightly spoil the view of the household. buildings, but not fatally. Restaurant, two-story, breakfast was offered on the second floor. According to them, I will not speak good or bad, because. all people have different tastes. I had enough food. Sunbeds, only on the line of the hotel, not on the beach. And why, to the sea 2 meters to go. If the sun bakes, you can ask for an umbrella over the sunbed. Beach towels, free of charge in the room. They change every day. The room itself (not a bungalow) is classic. There is a bare minimum. Even the traditional kettle was replaced with a thermo-automatic machine, so that there would always be hot water. In my opinion, at +32, on the street, it would be better to install a cooler. Every day they brought 2 bottles of water, 0.5 liters each, for free. For some reason, the shower cabin is installed separately from the bathtub. Each room has its own boiler. Plumbing is old, but somehow functions. The faucet leaked in the washbasin, the reception said that they could not do anything. These are their problems ; . The room is cleaned every day, but sometimes had to be reminded. Towels are normal, gel, shampoo, as elsewhere. Cleaners do not understand a word of English, everything must be done through the reception. The air conditioner is noisy and underpowered. At night it is quite noisy. There is nothing worthwhile on TV. Even there is only one music channel, and that is Japanese. The Internet is paid, in the reception area there are two computers with free access (almost always one computer was occupied by a grandmother from England).
