The hotel is normal, clean, everything is new, plumbing is working properly, air conditioning, TV, free safe in the room, no hair dryer, paid water, refrigerator, laundry, wash quickly 50 baht per kg. Rooms are cleaned daily, beach towels are freely available. The only thing that disappointed the hotel was the restaurant. Breakfast is VERY poor! For 10 days they never gave fruit!! ! In my opinion, this is nonsense for Tai. The hotel is designed for Russian tourists, during our vacation 95% were Russians, there is NO menu in Russian in the restaurant at the hotel, although there are announcements in Russian all around that you can’t drink your alcohol in the restaurant, a fine of 500 baht. We ate at the restaurant a couple of times, the soups are normal, the pizza is delicious, but some dishes are heated in the microwave and brought half cold. . . , I don’t recommend ordering fruit juices there (a minimum of fruit, poorly ground ice). The staff is friendly, they were immediately there when help was needed, they helped immediately. Also on the 1st floor there are 2 computers, the Internet is free, but the keyboard layout is Thai and English. The location of the hotel, in my opinion, is good, it took about 15 minutes to get to the beach in a calm mode (although we went there only 2 times on the first and last day). In 2 minutes exchanger, grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes, taxi rank and more. Bangla Road 20 minutes walk, Simon show (transvestites) 10 minutes, you can buy tickets yourself (500 baht regular, 700 baht VIP seats). By taxi to Karon Beach (I recommend to go at least once) 10 minutes for 300 baht. I will write about the beaches separately. Patong is a normal beach, cleaner than in the south of Russia, but compared to other beaches in Phuket, it sucks. The water is cloudy, sometimes there are packets))) the bottom is even, smooth, smooth entry into the water, the sand is gray, coarse, beautifully shines. I liked the neighboring Karon beach much more, a wide coastline, snow-white fine sand, clean clear water, also a flat bottom, smooth entry into the water. Sunbeds are rented there in pairs, a pair costs 200 baht, there were three of us, we had to pay for 4 sunbeds. There are plenty of sun loungers, there is enough space for everyone, so it’s not worth it, as in Egypt-Turkey, to rush to take a sunbed by 7 in the morning))) this also applies to Patong. Sunbeds are cheaper in Patong. Opposite the taxi rank there is an excellent restaurant at the hotel (you will immediately notice it), a lot of greenery, an excellent menu in Russian, the service is good, the food is delicious. If you are in Karon, I recommend to dine there. A taxi back, by the way, also costs 300 baht, it makes no sense to bargain, they won’t go cheaper. About excursions. Excursions were taken at the Happy Thai agency, the girl's name is Alena, a great girl, very responsible, the prices are probably the lowest in Phuket. I'll leave her coordinates, maybe someone will come in handy. She was also recommended to me on the internet)) Her Thai number is 0817871053, skype a_klocha, email alena-klochkova@mail. ru. We took a one-day excursion to James Bond on a low-speed speedboat (it costs 1400 rubles). I liked it very much, all day long we enjoyed the unusual views of Phuket, the mesmerizing islands, the lagoon caves. We met wild monkeys, and they really were wild, not fed, so thin and looked at us with such interest))) The tour is very easy, not tiring, Russian-speaking guide, lunch on the ship. A day later, we went on our own to the island of Phi-Pi. Tickets (round-trip) were ordered from Alena (cost as at the box office) + free transfer to the pier and back, the hotel on the island was also booked through her for 3 days / 2 nights. Who is interested in the Phi-Phi Villa Resort, the cost of a double room is 3000 baht per day + 600 baht for an extra bed. In short, the hotel is good, right on the beach (there are no sunbeds and umbrellas on it ! ! this is a nature reserve, so it’s forbidden, you have to escape the sun in the shade of trees), the food is excellent, there is a cafe there, too, everything is very tasty and inexpensive, a swimming pool (with free sunbeds and umbrellas), a good green area, air conditioning, TV, hot water shower, refrigerator. By the way, on the island of Phi Phi, prices for clothes, food, souvenirs, cosmetics are cheaper than in Phuket. On the second day after arriving on the island, having cooperated with a couple of Russos, the tourists rented a boat and sailed to enjoy the local beauties, in particular, to the island of Phi Phi Lay, the same one where the film "The Beach" with Leo DiCaprio was filmed. Entrance to the beach is 200 baht (reserve), the approximate time spent is 1 hour, it can be a little longer if the boatman is accommodating. Boat rental 1000 baht for 3 hours. By the way, you can eat at a local cafe, the choice of dishes is minimal, prices are from 100 to 300 baht per dish, the portions are large, there were 5 dishes on the menu, water is free. Alcohol is not sold on the island, you can bring it with you, just keep in mind that there will be no refrigerator, the beer will be warm. . . Many write about insects, rats and other representatives of flora and fauna, they say "Fuuu" !! ! For some it’s “Fu”, but for us it’s exotic, on the way in the forest we saw a monitor lizard, on the beach a hermit crab, very large, in the evening they showed a chicken crab, such are only found on the Similans. In the toilet you can easily meet a small rat, unpleasant, scary, but tolerable, she won’t eat it! It is strongly recommended not to store food in tents, otherwise rats can gnaw through it. Take towels, alcohol, mosquito repellent and the most necessary hygiene products with you. the most pleasant impressions, beautiful photos and vivid memories left from the tour! About shopping. It was also organized for us by our Alena. We went to the souvenir market, the prices there are really lower than in supermarkets and on the streets. We bought latex pillows, we were VERY satisfied, it is really more comfortable to sleep on them than on feather pillows. We took the usual classic form 11 cm high, size 50 by 70 cm. The cost is 1900 baht. 10 year warranty. Who needs children's clothes, go to the Big C supermarket, where you can buy very cheap children's things, for example, T-shirts from 45 baht, they also sell Disney things, their cost is from 100 to 200 baht !! ! Last year, I brought a whole suitcase for my daughter and I also stocked up in this one in full. 1000 baht and the child is fully dressed for the summer. That's probably all. If you have any questions, write in a personal, I will answer with pleasure.
