There are two small pools on the territory, there are few people there. In addition, on the beach you can use the pool and sunbeds of another hotel - centara grand. Very comfortably. The path to the sea is not as scary as many scare. The steps are quite steep at the end of the descent, but on the 2-3rd day you get used to all the features. But it’s five minutes to the sea and it’s not scary to recover from hearty hotel breakfasts.
As far as food is concerned, the breakfast is quite good. There are lighter dishes - scrambled eggs, sausages, cereals, yogurt, toasts, fruits (3-4 items to choose from), and more substantial - noodles, vegetables, soups, waffles, pancakes, etc. In my opinion a very good choice.
Dinner at the hotel is quite expensive, it is cheaper to eat in the city. But keep in mind - to get to the main infrastructure (cafes, 7/11, pharmacies, etc. ) you need to either take a taxi or walk for 20-25 minutes (the second option is not very good, since you need to go along the road without a sidewalk with busy traffic). In this case, rent a bike or get ready to pay 200 baht for a taxi (although the ride is no more than five minutes).
All the entertainment is also not far away - I didn’t want to give all the money for a taxi, but I don’t have any experience riding a bike, so we looked for alternatives through local travel agencies. There are tons of options on the Internet - you don’t need to go far. According to the price tag - several times lower than that of the tour operator and everything can be ordered online. We went to Phi Phi and Bamboo Island from Thaiinfo, took a sightseeing tour without shopping (do not get fooled by the free ones that the tour operator so generously offers! ), Ride elephants. Everything was as promised - both on time and on payment. To whom it will be relevant - I will tell you the contacts.
In general, a good option for a bounty-style holiday is silence, beauty and complete unity with nature. If you read reviews in advance and know what to prepare for, no questions will arise. Have a good holiday everyone!
The hotel staff is very friendly, smiling and courteous. Although the bungalows are not new and in some places need cosmetic repairs (painting there, tightening the socket there - in general, a trifle that you can safely ignore) but very cozy and well-furnished, the bathroom is spacious with an aquarium) Separately, it is necessary to note the cleaning in the rooms - many places have been, but they have not seen such a high quality . The breakfasts at the hotel are also very tasty, they may seem somewhat monotonous, but again, everything is compensated by the high quality of the food and the gorgeous view of the ocean from the terrace. Many attributed a large number of stairs and lifts in the hotel to the minuses, but this seemed to us only a plus and did not allow us to swim fat . But if laziness wins, then you can always use the services of a hotel shuttle, which you can call both from your room and by phone (telephone sets are located throughout the hotel especially for this).
We were also amazed at the number of different living creatures that lived, crawled, flew, hunted - and all this happened in the immediate vicinity of our bungalow (for example, two small lizards lived in our bungalow, who liked to keep company sitting on that terrace) - all this created the impression that that you really are among the virgin jungle far from civilization.
To summarize: a wonderful hotel that is best suited for a honeymoon trip, or just for couples in love looking for a combination of privacy, exotic and romance.
