I'll be brief: I was vacationing with a friend in October 2011. The hotel is great! But I say right away, who is used to luxury and golden toilets, then this is not here! The hotel is VERY comfortable, you want to live in it! The staff is magnificent, smiling, on such a positive note that after talking with him you smile for another 5 minutes))) I have not seen any deception, theft among the staff! The breakfasts are very good! I'm ashamed, but I ate too much, it was delicious for me)))) The only fruit could have been more, there is a standard: tasteless papaya, no watermelon, pineapple and fruit salad (papaya, waterbush, pineapple + red dragon), but this is such a trifle ! When it came to dessert, I didn’t want anything anymore)))
By rooms: I took a standard double with single occupancy on the ground floor (room 303). Since everyone is posting pictures of Luxes and everyone lived in them, I will talk about my TWIN. When I entered, I was upset, but this is only the first impression that came into me from behind the door. TWIN doors - similar to those that were in apartments during the USSR, in general, simple, painted white, everyone understood! Furniture not of this year, of course, but without scratches!! ! I turned on the air conditioner, opened the curtains, took a shower, got out - and WOW - AWESOME, HOW I HAVE A COOL ROOM!!! ! That's what the shower and cool air do))) The room is clean, licked, cozy, the bed is large, the linen is snow-white, the doorman brought a glass of juice as a compliment (I gave him 100 baht for things, I didn’t know how much they were supposed to), the telly works and even the BUTTONS are switched!! ! The pool is 5 meters away, you can see it from the window (behind the tree, really), each room has a small terrace with 2 chairs and an ashtray. In general, I really liked everything! If you need a budget option and you, like me, will be in the room only during sleep, then this is it!! ! By the way, on my last day, the switch on the cond broke into 2 parts, but it was cracked there from the first day, it’s not my fault =) And there is no tea set, no hair dryer in this category.
Here my friend arrives: he is a boy from Moscow, show-off, back and forth, in short, he had a DeLuxe room booked, everyone writes about this category, I won’t repeat myself, but I’ll say that the room, of course, is better than TWIN, he has it was on the second floor (236) overlooking the pool!
The hotel also offers Thai massage for only 300 baht, on the street the price is 250-300, in general, also, but this boy has a lot of diplomas and certificates. Unfortunately, he did not do it, as he works at an inconvenient time (from 9 to 17). At 9 we were gone, at 17 we weren't there yet. They did it on the street (to the left of the hotel), nothing like that, but you need a Thai massage to be done by either a man or a woman. Girls did us - so, stroking, relaxing massage before going to bed.
In general, the hotel is SUPER!! ! I did not think I would say this, but despite the thousands of hotels per square meter, I would return to this one!
Yes, the beach (Patong) is a 3-minute walk, but we never swam there, only met the sunset once. It seemed that next to us, we would always have time, it turned out that we traveled around the island, visited Kata Beach, Karon Beach, took excursions with swimming in the open sea, but never got to our beach))))
And no need to take 4-5 stars if you are not going to sit in the room all day, it's a waste of time! I even swam in the pool only 2 times, and only because it would be a shame to have a pool at my side and not swim. But it was a maximum of 15 minutes, there was not enough time))
Ideally, it would be to rent an apartment altogether, but since it was the first time in such an unfamiliar country, we decided not to risk it!
Holiday Tips: Do not take two or three meals a day - the standard price at the hotel for lunch or dinner is 450 baht. I say right away - I didn’t want to have lunch, since the difference with Ukraine is 4 hours, that is, during the Ukrainian lunch I just had dinner + given the heat of 30 degrees, I didn’t feel like eating at all. Dinner cost me in any cafe (I didn’t eat in expensive ones and didn’t eat in restaurants), it cost me a MAXIMUM of 300 baht, but in general 200-250. But I don’t eat much, one serving of pasta was enough for me, I drank it all down through my strength! When I took rice with seafood baked in pineapple, I generally rolled home - their portions are VERY large, this pineapple would be enough for me for 2-3 times. We ordered battered vegetables and onion rings, so they brought us 2 deep plates!! ! and they cook food VERY quickly there, the impression that they were only waiting for us, what does it mean everywhere. On average 5-6 minutes.
Every day we ate pancakes from wheelbarrows - VERY tasty! If with banana and chocolate, Ban + nutella, caramel, some kind of cream, wild berries....none of us has poisoned and it is difficult to poison - everything is cooked and cut in front of you!
And most importantly - buy magnets IN PHUKET, even if they are more expensive, but in Bangkok there are NO magnets with pictures of Phuket !! ! I'm so screwed up!!! ! I thought to save money, I bought 4 things, it seemed that in Bangkok I would buy 3 times cheaper than the rest, NIFIGA! Yes, it’s cheaper in Bangkok, but there are no Phuket ones (((In Phuket, bargain for a magnet no more than 50 baht!
For souvenirs, we went to a large souvenir center (transfer is free), it is actually cheaper there, but not much, and there is something that you will not find in other places. Some goods are cheaper in Bangkok (if you know how to bargain), but don't get your hopes up in Bangkok, it's mostly watches, scarves, t-shirts. Regarding clothing - the farther from the sea, the cheaper (2 times minimum). In Phuket, bargaining is reluctant.
Once we even took a moped (300 baht per day) and left a deposit of 2000 baht, we were not asked for anything else. The only thing they asked was which hotel we were staying in. During the day we traveled around the peninsula, beaches, View Point, the Big White Buddha, etc. They drive on the left side. We were told to leave the moped wherever you want, no one will steal it, it was so!!!!
Excursions were taken to Phi Phi, James Bond (I liked the Sea Gypsy Village), went to the Simon Show, I really liked it, a friend and two couples of newlyweds whom I met on the plane. The show is really beautiful, funny and once again beautiful in every other sense. This is not a show of transvestists or a performance of disguised men, as we have in Ukraine or Russia. We all wanted to go a second time, but we didn’t have time (We also went to the Fantasy show, my friend is generally delighted !!!
In general, everything is great, cool, the rest was wonderful, EVERYTHING was perfect!! ! I'm in vsotorge, I thought that this does not happen, I love EVERYONE !!! ! Have a good MEGApositive holiday!!! !
