We rested in Phuket for the second time. Therefore, as "cool peppers" were already riding fully armed, knowing everything about prices, excursions and no spice. Surin was considered for a long time, read and heard a lot of good reviews. As for the beach, they are all confirmed. The sand is almost white, the beach is clean and very well maintained, the Thais sweep and scrape it in the morning. Unlike Kata and Karon, there are no scattered cigarette butts and traces of active life. All this appears only after storms and for a very short time. In short, a solid "5" along the beach. And if you take into account the small reefs along the edges and the opportunity to swim with a mask, then "6". It is clear not the Red Sea and not Semilany, but still. But Marriott disappointed. We went to a hotel with slides. Of course they are, but they are painfully miserable. In my opinion, adults have nothing to do with them at all. The pool is nice but small. The maximum depth is 1.2m. How do the Thais position themselves since November 1, the high season. But while we were there, we greased and tinted something all the time, sometimes drilled. In general, it's a trifle, but it worked out. Lame cleaning. The first couple of days everything is on the level. And then they look, smile and - that's all. They can come when you are resting at 17 o'clock, they can leave a note saying sorry, you didn't have time, call. Balcony so generally only removed at the request. Slippers, bathrobes, umbrellas, too, after a reminder. And of course the price tag at the local catering MOMO. Everything is much more expensive. There is no shuttle to Patong. The hotel bus one way costs 350 baht per person. It's easier to take a taxi. There is no information board with departures. Now for the perks. The food is delicious and fresh. Fruits are plentiful, you can take it with you without any problems. The same goes for pastries and juices. Who travels with children - knows. We settled in 10 minutes. The number was chosen independently. The hotel is calm and quiet. Many Americans, Chinese, compatriots and Germans. Not suitable for a party. And of course the main plus is the sea. Yes, of course, about hotel guides. Maybe we are specifically unlucky, but they were completely absent. Interest in us disappeared after the cancellation of their tours. For comparison: we went to Khao Sok for 2 days for 4 thousand. The guides had the same thing from 8 to 10. Otherwise, the rest was still a success. although I won't go to Marriott again. If anyone is interested in ifa in Surin - write, I will be happy to answer.
