The hotel and its location is quite good. The food is sufficient, but it does not differ in variety, therefore, no one eats strongly in hotels. There are many eateries nearby, where the food is very good and not very expensive. I recommend "Karma", not a very presentable view, but they cook, you will lick your fingers and portions for slaughter. We also bought food from street vendors, from the hotel to the right, at the Semerochka store, tasty, safe and very cheap, especially good if you need to eat in your room. , because tequila is twice cheaper). Opposite the hotel, I rented motorbikes, 200 baht per day, there were no problems, I traveled the whole island far and wide, I advise, only the road through the passes is dangerous, especially to Bang Bao. I visited all the places where excursions are offered, I took everything myself, 1.5-3 times cheaper, especially waterfalls. In the same place, opposite the hotel, there is a workshop "Classic Suit", the owner is Indian, there is all the sewing mafia from there. I ordered a suit and a pair of shirts, it’s cheap, but I can say one thing, he sews shirts well, trousers are not bad, he doesn’t know how to sew jackets, it turns out that horrible, it’s better to give quite a bit of money at first, then back, if anything, you won’t return. There is no shopping on the island, you can still see something in Bang Bao, we went to the Health store on a bike, they take it from the hotel for free, by order, the journey takes about ten minutes. I advise you to take only leather goods and souvenirs, the most affordable prices. But cosmetics, the prices are inflated at times, they sell ours, I do not recommend taking them. It’s cheaper in the pharmacy and in the store at the Klong Plu waterfall and don’t listen to what you can’t take there, a scam. Everything is fine, year of manufacture, smell, etc. tested on myself. Coconut oil in a pharmacy is three times cheaper. The beach near the hotel is not very good, you have to take it to the right, but it's very close, there is excellent sand. The beach is clean, but you can’t compare it with Egypt, the water is much muddier, I traveled the whole island and I’m sure the beach near the hotel is one of the best. During this period, the tides are small, there is enough sand, everything is clean. I went twice with an excursion to the five islands, there is something to see, I took it myself to Bang Bao. The second time they were taken directly from the hotel from the beach by motorboat. I advise you to live a couple of days on Koh Wai, the most beautiful lagoons and beaches, and the bungalows there are not bad, although Ko MAK is praised, for me not very, undersized island with a huge sandy beach, no romance, nothing to watch. In Bangkok, horror, noise, din, dirty, I didn’t like the city itself, you can only see the royal palace and the Buddha temple, I don’t advise you to live there, there is nowhere to eat, in short, there is nothing to do in it. Islands only. Well, if you go on a spree, and not go to the beach, then this is, of course, Pattaya.
