We were satisfied with the organization of the trip. The hotel is good, although part of the hotel has not yet been completed (they say they will finish it in February), there is construction noise during the day, but not strong, at least it didn’t bother us.
Breakfast is more than complete. Every day - an omelette (you choose what you add to it - mushrooms, onions, peppers, ham, etc. ), pancakes, bacon, 2 types of sausages, ham, baked tomatoes, boiled vegetables, fresh cabbage of various types , cucumbers, tomatoes, beans in tomato, lettuce, sweet peppers, etc. , fruit salad, fresh fruits - papaya, pineapple, pamela, watermelon, sometimes bananas, melon, different buns, croissants, sometimes meat, chicken, potatoes.
The hotel has 2 swimming pools. One with a bar and a small waterslide. Another with a jacuzzi. The rooms are comfortable, safe in the room, bathrobe, slippers, tea, coffee, kettle, hair dryer, refrigerator, everything you need to eat.

The room has a large balcony overlooking the Andaman Sea. There is no beach. Free shuttle to Kamala beach. The beach is clean and not crowded. Sunbeds + umbrella, + table for the day cost 100 baht (rate 40 baht for 1 dollar). They will also give you a couple of bottles of water, and they will adjust your umbrella for you all day, so that there is a shade.
Jet ski 1200-1500 baht for half an hour. Parachute 1000 baht. Beer 40 baht, there is honeykin and local singa, we liked it. There is local rum, whiskey and cola, nothing, it is very inexpensive. Fruit whipped in a blender - 40 baht. Eating out is cheap. We usually took shrimp in batter approx. 100 baht per serving. In the evening we had dinner at restaurants in Kamala. (We went to Patong once and an hour later they ran away - crowds of people, cars, tuk-tuks, parties in a word, somehow we liked it more in Kamala, a more relaxing holiday. True, by 12 at night everything stops).
Of course, they ate freshly caught tiger prawns, different fish, lobster - everything is in ice - choose and tell how to cook. Available for the price. Kg of huge tiger prawns 1000-1200 baht depending on the size, fish 200-300 baht/kg.
I went for a Thai massage and I really enjoyed it. 3 hours and super sensations. It feels like it’s like new : ). Even in the morning it became easy to get up. But you have to go to the medical center, so that the massage would be professional. Otherwise, the bones are crumpled so much that I think it’s not worth risking your health by doing a massage with a non-professional.
We went to the coral island. Beautiful, few people and interesting underwater world. We went on an excursion rafting + elephant ride + swimming in a small waterfall. We had dinner at the naval base. Unusual. The tour is interesting, no regrets.
We also went to the Similian Islands for 2 days with an overnight stay in a bungalow. Fins, masks, vests, drinks on the speedboat - free of charge. Good snorkelling, different islands have different underwater world, it was especially cool on the sandy beach - the fish are all almost white, or with gray stripes - just wonders of disguise : )
At night we went to see crabs. An interesting excursion, though the transfer is long, it's good that we went for 2 days. For one day it would be hard to go there and back.

I would like to say a huge human Thank you to the guide Dima, I really liked how he works. (He is Thai and his name is Maitree, but we called him Dima). A true travel professional. To be honest, I liked everything very much, I want to return to Thailand again.
