Замечательный отель. Wonderful hotel.

Where to begin? Probably from the fact that we flew to Phuket not for the first and not even the second time. Before that, they only stayed at Kata Beach Resort & Spa (Hotel with elephants at the entrance).
Declared 4 in this hotel suited us, but this time the family budget did not allow us to relax and we decided to choose 3.
Of all the hotels in terms of location, only Tropical Garden arranged.
We have never regretted it! ! ! ! And now we will only go there.
The view from the room ....yes, you can kill for it ! ! ! Beauty, the whole bay is visible. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Deluxe Seaview. Take the Deluxe, overpay a little, but then you will understand that it's worth it! ! We lived in building number 6. Moderately high for a good view and not too long to climb up to it. Photos of the room are attached to my review, so you can see for yourself.

Regarding the food: We regretted that we took breakfast.

No, the choice is good, you won’t stay hungry for a lot of food, but after roughly calculating the difference between a room with and without breakfast, we came to the conclusion that we paid the hotel 250 rubles per person per day. In the evening, at a nearby restaurant (more on that later), we learned from the Thais that they have breakfast (buffet) + fruit (and not just watermelon and papaya, but also mango and pomelo and everything else) costs 150 rubles each. But the choice is still up to you.

Next, food in the evening. Yes, for many years of rest in Phuket (and in particular on Kata Beach), we visited all the restaurants. The most optimal price-quality is the beach. Kata Mama Seafood. Just don't confuse them, there are two restaurants there. This one is on the beach, there is also a SKA bar. For two to eat from about 450 to 700 rubles. BUT! ! If you want exotics and the price is not the main thing for you (at least once or twice), go to Tom Yam Koong Restaurant. If you leave the hotel, turn left. They cook very tasty and at the same time the owners speak Russian fluently. The cutest people)))

About the beaches.
According to previous reviews, I read from one girl that sunbeds will not sleep for a long time. I'll tell you this - they will always be! ! ! They came at 2 pm and in the evening after the tour, the guys always found a couple for us. It's not a problem at all. By the way If you walk a little along the beach, to its center, then you will be pleasantly surprised by the fact that there are VERY many empty sunbeds in the center of the beach. And the level of service is more, the prices are slightly lower.

About excursions. People! ! ! ! Do not take anything from your tour operator, this is pure rip off. And you are not in Egypt, where you have nowhere to go. Go outside the hotel and to the right on the road. There are a huge number of trays with tours. Don't be afraid, you won't be deceived. Drop prices. We managed to go to the Simelans for 2000 each. And besides, we were offered to pay extra for a Russian guide. We refused, but someone from our trip paid. So we got a guide for free))

I wish you a pleasant trip!
If you are flying for the first time, then fear not. Do not read any warnings about Tai. This is an amazing country where bad things rarely happen.
