Also for those who travel together. Rooms in the hotel are only doubles!! ! They will bring a third collapsible bed, more like a hospital folding bed), but in principle comfortable. If you stay in a "bad" room, there is practically nowhere to put it. But they put. We were lucky in the sense that we had a room with one double bed. They put it next to it. There are rooms with separate beds, between them there is a bedside table, in which the entire control panel and TV, and air conditioning, and light. It is impossible to rearrange. So they put it between the beds and this extra bed sticks out in the aisle). Everything is old. The air conditioner roars like that tiger from the jungle). The rest is good. Cleanliness, breakfast is good, varied. But for breakfast it is better to go later. It was noticed that in the morning they put out that they had not eaten since yesterday. Specially fried dried eggs). The sediment from the hotel was very unpleasant. Who goes to this hotel, initially buy a "suite". Unfortunately, in our case, there were no options. And we didn't know the difference. But now they are literate).
They settled quickly, they immediately gave a not very good room, but then with the help of a hotel guide, they moved.
The room is large, the air conditioners work perfectly, the bed is changed every 3 days, they are cleaned well, they like tips - they left 20 baht and really like Russian chocolate as a tip))) Among the shortcomings is the lack of a hair dryer, the furniture is a bit old, but this is expected for 3 * .
The food is excellent, European cuisine, no matter what time you come - a varied selection of dishes.
On the territory of 2 swimming pools, a large tropical garden.
The overall feeling of the hotel is good for a 3*. especially liked the ratio of price - location - quality.
The second surprise was that the sockets in the room were not adapted to our technology - in the former hotels there was a local kettle and hairdryer. With difficulty found a European adapter in the store, 160 baht. According to the reviews, we already knew that there was an Indian disco next door, we didn’t want to be in the building nearby. In general, the territory of the hotel is unusual: one part is separate, with its own pool, there are bungalows and villas. One building stands alone across the road, you will not immediately realize that this is the same hotel. Three main buildings, and another part of the bungalow behind them. We were immediately offered a room in the same building across the road, we refused, without even looking. We offered to pay extra, at first they called us some big numbers, but then they said three thousand for a bungalow. We paid extra. It turned out to be on the territory inside, poor thing, of course, but it seems nothing, the pool is nearby. And the Indian disco is far away) This is what we thought until the first night. Right behind these bungalows is either a restaurant or another disco, and you can’t sleep there until two in the morning. Not just noisy, in fact the walls are shaking. This bungalow is some nine hundred numbers. The next day we went to the reception, by the way, we don’t know the language, but everyone understands each other. This time we were more fortunate, we were moved without any problems to one of the main buildings overlooking the pool. here the only drawback was that the first floor and all those passing by looked into the windows)) And it was lucky that the numbering of the room was odd, the even windows overlooked somewhere on the back of the street.
They clean normally, after three days they asked to change the linen, without problems, then, it seems, they changed it every day. Somehow they found an iron mug for sale to boil tea. With the tea itself, whoever travels for the first time is a problem in stores, it is very difficult to find it in the network, they bought it only in Best, but it is expensive. So who is an amateur, it is better to drop the packaging from Russia. In a cafe, a cup of tea is 40-50 baht. A very good cafe can be recommended at the intersection of the lane from the hotel and the main street. She, too, like from Gardena. There are very unfortunate pictures hanging with prices under 300 baht and the menu starts with European dishes, they are also expensive, but at the end of the menu there is Thai cuisine, rice or noodles with meat or shrimp for 70 baht. Tom Yam 150, but it contains 20 pieces of shrimp in a serving, you hardly eat up. Breakfast at the hotel is ordinary, it's a pity there was no bacon, as in the previous two hotels.
A very good exchanger is located next to the pharmacy if you go down to the dolphins on the right side. It's so inconspicuous, but the course is the highest we've ever seen. At the beginning of March, the ruble was 0.89, the dollar was 32.40. Closer to shopping centers, all currency becomes cheaper.
And one more important thing about the islands, to which many go for a clear sea. For those who are not too athletic, keep in mind that you will not be landed on the island on the island. First, they will be transferred to a boat with a turbulence, such an attraction is obtained, and then from this boat to a pier made of plastic barrels, which is shaking, almost the game "The Last Hero")
From the hotel there is a sea and a very good beach, a seven-minute walk towards Tsentar. What is good about the hotel is that the pool in it is officially until eight, but they usually don’t drive people, and they swam with us until half past ten. Perhaps because the cafe is working right there and people are spending money. A bit like Turkish hotels. In the previous two where we were, the pools were closed early and at eight it was already dark and quiet. And here is the music all evening)
We always take excursions in thaityr from Maxim, good quality, organization, guides, prices and of course discounts. Prices in street agencies are about the same, but several times cheaper than those of operators.
If anyone is interested in everyday life, shopping or excursions, ask) by the way, the cheapest fruits are on stalls in the northern part. At the fruit market at Mike's shopping mall, where everyone goes home for fruit, pineapple 40 baht versus 25 at Garden, mango 80 versus 60 per kg.
