My impressions about traveling to Thailand are positive. I'll tell you a little about the nature of Thailand. The corals are beautiful but few. And because of the great depth, it is difficult to see them. They say that guides feed turtles, which, by the way, is strictly forbidden, because they can be fined, and if you give the guide a tip, then the chances of seeing a turtle in wildlife increase significantly.

But we were lucky, on the last island we met two huge turtles. Impressions and emotions are simply indescribable! Well, it is better to spend the night in comfortable conditions away from the flora and fauna of Thailand. We stayed at the Hilton Phuket Arcada *4. Liked the hotel. There were few people, the territory was huge - I didn’t even go around the whole place, there wasn’t enough time. Breakfast is awesome! And thanks to the staff: always polite. Such people create an additional mood on vacation, and we have a great desire to return here again.

We had a family vacation in this hotel in March 2018. A very cool hotel, everything is thought out as much as possible for the convenience of guests. Very clean, attentive and friendly staff. There are Russian managers at the reception, always ready to help, even with a nanny. In general, the rest of the staff speaks good English.

We had a family vacation in this hotel in March 2018. A very cool hotel, everything is thought out as much as possible for the convenience of guests. Very clean, attentive and friendly staff. There are Russian managers at the reception, always ready to help, even with a nanny. In general, the rest of the staff speaks good English. Upon check-in, they take a deposit that you can spend in the bar or on the mini-bar in the room. The room has everything for comfort. The hotel itself is already old. The room is spacious but tired. Normal furniture. The bed is comfortable. I note the cleaning is already very good, and if you leave a tip, they will clean it twice a day and very carefully. There is an iron and ironing board. Towels, bathrobes, slippers, hairdryer, kettle. Small balcony. There is a dryer on the balcony. Bathroom set (shampoo, conditioner, shower cream and gel, soap) toothpaste with brush. The hotel area is amazing. Big and very beautiful. It is very pleasant to walk, there are chickens, roosters, a peacock, very cool! There are also many pools, there are three of them and all are shallow 120 cm maximum, which is very convenient with children. The decor is like a large garden with its own lagoon. The location is great! Nearby are many cafes, restaurants with local and Russian cuisine; markets with fruits and souvenirs. The beach is across the road. It's not hard to go. There is a special person who helps to cross the road by stopping cars. Minus one: naked beach, no umbrellas, no sunbeds. To rent, you will need to walk along the beach. Beach towels are provided by the pool. Good breakfasts. They cook delicious. There is a good selection of fruit porridge. But in general, the choice is not mega large. The hotel was chosen for a holiday for two, but families with children will also be comfortable here. There is a children's pool with slides. There is a playground. Small kids club. Live music every evening. But overall the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. It makes no sense for those who like to hang out here. There is also a good gym and sauna. We chose the hotel to relax and this is a great place for this type of holiday. We have not been mistaken in the choice for a long time. It’s just that an excellent travel agent Dmitry Kukin has been picking up for us for a long time and buying tours from him. It will not be difficult for you to find him by the name of the surname through the search for friends on the VKontakte social network. The selection of the tour takes no more than 15 minutes and it is convenient to pay everything online. They stopped running around agencies a long time ago. Vacation was great as always!

The hotel is located in the central part of Karon Bay. The beach is across the road, but it's not annoying there is a special person who will translate through it. In the hotel area, the beach is not crowded, which can be considered both a plus and a minus. To rent sun loungers and umbrellas, you need to walk in the direction of 300 meters.

The hotel is located in the central part of Karon Bay. The beach is across the road, but it's not annoying there is a special person who will translate through it. In the hotel area, the beach is not crowded, which can be considered both a plus and a minus. To rent sun loungers and umbrellas, you need to walk in the direction of 300 meters. Or relax on mats. But due to the small number of people, some solitude is obtained. The hotel has a huge beautiful green area. There are many places where you can take a walk, there are freshwater lagoon ponds, well, they call them lagoons). Shuttles run around the territory for the convenience of guests and quick movement, and they travel often, although you can take a walk on foot. In general, everything is conveniently located, but it depends on which building you live in. 5 swimming pools, 2 swimming pools with children's slides, children's sections in all pools. The best pool is the one closer to the beach where there is a wooden covering around the pool and if you want to run to swim and sunbathe back on the sunbeds by the pool, well, or for those who don’t really care about the sea to swim). There is a 2-level pool with a waterfall. Of the minuses, the maximum depth of the pools on the territory of the hotel is only 1.2 m. Of course, this is convenient for families with children. For kids there is a mini-club The Kidz Paradise: for children 4-12 years old, open from 09:00-18:00.2 playgrounds, high chairs in the restaurant. The hotel has a spa, 24-hour fitness center, three tennis courts. Animation and disco no. When we chose a hotel, we focused on relaxing with a child and deep pools were not important, but the paddling pools in each pool seduced us) Well, he also liked the cost. Wi-Fi in the lobby (free of charge) in the rooms only for a fee. Good breakfasts. Variety of food and fruits for breakfast. There are 8 restaurants, several bars, dinners are excellent, but everything is much more expensive than in a cafe on the street. Near 300 meters from the hotel. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. massage parlors. The rooms are not new but quite decent, daily cleaning, bed linen change 2 times a week. 2 bottles of water daily for free. Kettle set for making tea/coffee. Bathrobes and slippers. Bath amenities: Soap, Shampoo, Shower Gel. Safe for free. A comfortable bed, but a baby potty for a child is paid)) Strange logic is a crib for free, a potty is charged) Upon arrival at the hotel, a deposit is charged - 1500 Baht per room per night, you can pay back in dollars in baht or block the deposit amount on the card. We just paid in dollars and returned everything minus what we used for services at the hotel. In general, the hotel has European level service. Friendly staff. In general, we are very satisfied with the hotel!

We were going to relax by the sea and not sit in a hotel, and therefore, when we were offered this hotel, among others, we did not hesitate that the hotel's room stock was already a bit old. And it's not as bad as it might seem. The room is not from scratch, the furniture is already clear that it is not new, but everything is very clean and tidy.

We were going to relax by the sea and not sit in a hotel, and therefore, when we were offered this hotel, among others, we did not hesitate that the hotel's room stock was already a bit old. And it's not as bad as it might seem. The room is not from scratch, the furniture is already clear that it is not new, but everything is very clean and tidy. Nothing is broken, everything is in working order, and the bed with a comfortable mattress is good to sleep in, and more, in principle, what you need. No damp mold. The bathroom is clean and spacious. There is even an iron and ironing board. All electronics worked properly. The minibar is paid, but we asked him to remove it and then just used it as a refrigerator. Moreover, the room has not only a shower but also a bathroom. Settled immediately upon arrival, and we were told that if the room is not satisfied, we can change to another. But they did not change the room, we were completely satisfied. Now the beach. Nice clean beach. It's a little inconvenient that the sunbeds are aside, but it's not scary either. The beach is within walking distance, just cross the road. Many are afraid of local traffic, but we didn’t react to the road the next day) There are pools on the territory, one of which is close to the beach, so if you get tired of the beach there is an alternative. For children in the pools there are children's areas. There are playgrounds. Adult spa and gym. In addition to the greenery of various plants, there are ponds on the territory. There are many places where to walk or you can drive a typewriter plying around the territory. The staff is friendly. The tour was bought not at all expensive due to the fact that they were taken via the Internet. Well, I’ll also say about the food in the hotel. Breakfasts are awesome. Very tasty and plentiful. And the choice is good and the dishes change. Didn't like the coffee. Fruit always. Well, I will not paint everything. Overall very good. In conclusion, I will say that the hotel is excellent value for money!

There are no complaints about the hotel. Excellent value for quality. And so is the settlement. They take 500 bucks but you can agree in local currency. The room settled almost immediately did not have to wait, the room was ready. If you want to change the number is not a problem but we did not change everything arranged.

The room settled almost immediately did not have to wait, the room was ready. If you want to change the number is not a problem but we did not change everything arranged. The furniture is in good condition, of course, not new but not shabby either. The bathroom is spacious. There is a shower and a full bathroom. The room has everything you need and even an iron and ironing board. Safe for free. The minibar is paid and you can ask for it to be removed upon check-in. And just use it as a refrigerator. The area is very green and large with five swimming pools. Lots of loungers. All pools have children's areas. The busiest pool was the one that was only fifty meters from the sea. There are two playgrounds for children on the territory. Good gym. Excellent spa. On the territory there are two ponds overgrown with grass, they are called lagoons there) There are plenty of places to walk, but you can not walk around the hotel, shuttles drive around. The food was excellent, we had breakfast. So you can overdo it and you will be too lazy to go anywhere. Because the breakfasts are very plentiful, the choice can be said to be huge. Several types of cuisine. Thai, European and Asian. But the tea and coffee are terrible. But if you ask, they will bring you a cappuccino or espresso. But I think for the cost that the tour cost everything is just fine. The beach is well-described. In fact, across the street from the hotel will take about two minutes. It's not a problem to rent sunbeds. Well, that's all I can say about the hotel.

I really liked the hotel. Everything is fine and the beach is nearby and cafe shops are not far away, and in the hotel itself everything is very good, but further in order. Room and accommodation. Russian speaking staff at the reception will help to resolve any issue. The smart staff even brought clothespins so that they don’t blow away when they dry.

Russian speaking staff at the reception will help to resolve any issue. The smart staff even brought clothespins so that they don’t blow away when they dry. Every day they brought three bottles of water if you need just ask and they will bring more. Change of bed linen every other day. Cleaned twice a day which was even amazing. Change of towels, replenishment of the tea and coffee set also does not need to be reminded daily and the room is cleaned very well. The furniture in the room is not new but in very good condition, well, a couple of scratches. There is everything you need. Safe, TV, hair dryer, kettle. The container worked well. The balcony is spacious. What else is essentially needed) The beach is cool right in front of the hotel, plus a person is on duty from early morning until late in the evening who helps to cross the road. By the way, this is very convenient, since it is very problematic to cross the road on their own during their chaotic movement. . Right in front of the hotel there are no paid sun loungers, you want to sunbathe on a towel or a mat, or go to the side even to the right or to the left and rent yourself a sun lounger and an umbrella. It is not realistic to buy a drink on the beach near the cafes and there are isolated merchants with various nonsense. Lots of different water activities. Jet skis, boats, banana and the like. The beach itself is long and wide. But there are not many people. There was very little plankton and no jellyfish were seen at all. The hotel area pleased us for adults, unfortunately there are no slides in the pool, but there are several for children. The pools are clean themselves saw how they are cleaned in the evenings. The water does not smell like chemicals. There are enough beds. True, those under the palm trees had to be occupied before, everyone there really liked it. The area is green and clean. The food was excellent, we only took breakfast but also dined and dined sometimes at the hotel. For breakfast a good choice only one day during the holiday there was little local. Well, there were no natural juices, which is a bit strange. The rest is excellent. Animation is missing well, except that live music in the evenings. And plus free fast internet. Well, minus the guide from the hotel is tin excursions zadalbal. Well, it’s basically like that in every hotel, but they shushed him once and lagged behind) I recommend the hotel, we all liked it!

We were the first to get abroad and chose Thailand as an inexpensive vacation option, and there are more than enough exotics there. Of course we wanted the hotel to be normal and the beach not far away. When buying a tour, we were advised this hotel and the price tag is normal and after reading the reviews we realized that this is what we need.

We were the first to get abroad and chose Thailand as an inexpensive vacation option, and there are more than enough exotics there. Of course we wanted the hotel to be normal and the beach not far away. When buying a tour, we were advised this hotel and the price tag is normal and after reading the reviews we realized that this is what we need. I'll start from Karon Beach to other beaches, we did not get out of us and everything worked out here. The beach is wide, there are no umbrellas, no sunbeds, but this is the law with them. But you can still rent. We didn't take it so we don't know the prices. Pure water is clean. There are no waves until the evening, but in the evening they are small. The entrance to the water is good with children, the depth will not be comfortable right away, and it’s normal for adults not far from the depth. Well, this is when there is no low tide. There are stalls on the beach, but you can basically hide from the sun under the trees, but it will be far from the water. Beach towels are provided at the hotel and we took our own large towel to use as bedding. I liked the five for the beach. The hotel has a very dense and varied breakfast selection, I won’t list what I’ll say so, and you won’t be left without liquid soups, bacon, sausages, cheeses, fruit pastries. We are not fans of eating in the morning, but here it was possible not only to have breakfast, but also to have a full dinner. The hotel restaurants cook deliciously but the price tag is overpriced here in the hotel at 400-1000 meters you will find many restaurants on average the price is the same and cheaper than at the hotel, they basically ate there. Perhaps these two moments the beach and food were the most important for us). Of course, we were amazed and the territory of the hotel did not think that such beauty and such an area could be found in Thailand at such a tour price. Very green, birds sing, peacocks walk, clean, clean pools. Lots of flowers and different plants. There is a spa but a little expensive although it was worth it. The room is not new, but the furniture is normal, it's time to change the plumbing, but everything worked, it didn't leak. Cleaning is good and even though let's tip at least not the same. The soundproofing is normal, the neighbors did not hear anything and nothing interfered with sleep. Plus, the balcony is quite large in the evenings, it's nice to sit and breathe some air. . And finally, the cons) But here, like when you check in, you need to make a deposit of five hundred bucks, and when you check out, they give it in their currency, which is inconvenient, but we just changed it at the airport before departure. And this is the only minus that we considered a minus. We stayed at the hotel as a couple, but you can also travel with kids.

We seem to have plunged into the green jungle! The hotel has a large area. Everything is green and there is a lot of water. Lots of different trails. You can climb into very secluded areas of the hotel. There is a shuttle around the hotel. Everywhere, of course, you can walk, but you can also ride stops at the main points of the hotel.

We seem to have plunged into the green jungle! The hotel has a large area. Everything is green and there is a lot of water. Lots of different trails. You can climb into very secluded areas of the hotel. There is a shuttle around the hotel. Everywhere, of course, you can walk, but you can also ride stops at the main points of the hotel. With such a fairly large size, cleanliness and order are maintained everywhere. There are three swimming pools with comfortable good sunbeds and umbrellas. The truth is not very deep, about 1.2 meters. Towels are provided by the pool, the same towels you take to the beach. Animation is not intrusive and ends at nine o'clock in the evening. Live music in the lobby in the evenings. There are several slides for kids. There is also a kids club. And a children's pool. The hotel has a very convenient location in addition to being close to the beach on both sides of the hotel there are many restaurants where you can always eat. We only had breakfast included, although the hotel also has good restaurants. The beach is excellent, first of all, right across the road from the hotel and clean. You can rent umbrellas on the beach, but it's better to buy it so save. There are not as many beach activities as we would like, but they are. Parachute, massage, jet ski. There is a chain of restaurants on the beach where you can eat. There is always a lifeguard on duty at the beach. The entrance to the water is gentle. There are really few fish, but you can dive with a mask. In general, the hotel is more suitable for a quiet measured rest and not for party lovers. But that's what we wanted. Now I want to talk about the service and rooms. The service is excellent, the attitude of the staff towards the holidaymakers is excellent. Always ready to help always smiling. The room is comfortable, not too big but not too small. Furniture in order Conder worked quietly. Plumbing was in good condition, no rust, let alone fungus. Water pressure was fine too. Cleaning is normal. They will always clean up and spread out scattered things, put slippers in a row. Everything is very neat. Bedding towels in excellent condition. Nothing more to say about the number. In general, we were very satisfied if a little more animation, then this hotel would be perfect!

Rested at the Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa. Initially I was going to Koh Samui, but 3 months before the trip there were no places in the chosen hotel, I spat and booked Thavorn Palm Beach Resort. Yes, yes, I was going to go there, last year we visited it with friends. The flight to Phuket took place on a Boeing 747-200 (with monitors in the seats), back on a Boeing 747-300 (without monitors, but good distances between the seats, this is more of a plus than monitors).

Yes, yes, I was going to go there, last year we visited it with friends. The flight to Phuket took place on a Boeing 747-200 (with monitors in the seats), back on a Boeing 747-300 (without monitors, but good distances between the seats, this is more of a plus than monitors). Upon arrival in Thavorn, the hotel manager Anna pleased with overbooking at the Hilton, not a fool - she agreed + they had 3 trips to Thavorn restaurants for such serious stress: Old Siam, Italian and Thai. I won’t retell for a long time, at the Hilton we got a deluxe room 5106 in the Saitong building. In general, the hotel consists of three buildings of different heights - Andaman Wing, Lotus Wing, Saithong Wing. A combination of European and Thai traditions in architecture, but in principle a box-box, albeit a pretty one.
The room pleased with the presence of a bath and shower, convenient touch control of the power supply, and most importantly, a gorgeous view of the park, lagoon and mountains: http://photofile. ru/users/kran19/video/v3454701993/view/
The room has everything you need for a hard life on vacation: a kettle with accessories, a mini-bar with 2 bottles of freshly replenished drinking water, and, of course, slippers and a bathrobe. Safe, umbrella, iron, ironing board. There is an electronic clock on the bedside table. The radio didn't work. TV exclusively with foreign programs, the choice of channels is quite small, there are no Russian channels. One of the channels gives information about the hotel. There is a TV program next to the TV. There is wired Internet (24 hours/day - 650 baht, 1 week - 3500 baht). I managed with my PDA with a 1-2-call SIM card with Beeline GPRS settings, the cost is cheap. Upon check-in, they give a booklet with all the comprehensive information, a manager (Russian Guest Relation Officer) Larisa works at the reception.
Every evening they bring a sheet with a weather forecast for the next day, a couple of small chocolates. Room cleaning 2 times a day, no complaints, change of linen every other day, every day they made swans out of towels, a pleasant trifle. http://photofile. en/users/kran19/3514333/
The territory of the hotel is huge and very picturesque. Landscaping is just 5 plus. Sea of flowers. Three large beautiful pools, two cascading with waterfalls, there are 2 water slides for children, on the territory of 3 large lagoons. Something like our tram runs around the territory. In short, it's easier to look at the pictures than to retell it all: http://photofile. en/users/kran19/3514351/
We usually had breakfast at the Neptune restaurant (it is also a fish restaurant in the evening), the choice of food is quite standard, but large, there are also rolls, a good selection of fruits, of your choice, the chef will squeeze juice out of them. Coffee is brewed, the taste is for everyone.
Closest to the sea is the Andaman Wing hull.
We were located near its pool, in order to get to the sea, we had to cross a fairly busy two-lane road.
I liked Karon Beach last year, but I like Kata Noi more, although the sand does not crunch there.
If necessary, shops are located opposite the Welcome Lobby (the place where tourists are brought from the airport).
On excursions we went on a canoe tour (James Bond Islands) and to the zoo. In general, the hotel can be safely advised, one of the best in Phuket.
