Tour operator "Biblio Globus, no complaints, everything was fine.
Breakfast is standard, omelettes, fruits, toasts, coffee, tea, juices. It was quite possible to choose and eat. The staff is friendly, smiling, everyone speaks English.
The big plus of this hotel is that the beach is right across the road. Moreover, Karon Beach is considered one of the best, pure white fine sand, clear blue water. True, there are a lot of people, take your seats in advance) Now umbrellas and sunbeds have already reappeared, at one time they were banned.
It is also very convenient that there are a lot of cafes, shops in the Karon area, i. e. there is where to walk and hang out in the evening.
We love not only to lie on the beach, but to spend our holidays usefully and in a variety of ways, so we took a trip to the Similan Islands, spent two days with an overnight stay and went to the theater for a grandiose historical show - you begin to see the resort city from a completely different perspective! Have a wonderful and impressive vacation!
The rooms are ordinary, standard, everything is there, everything is fine with cleaning, plumbing, air conditioning work. Breakfast has a good selection, but about the same every day. Coffee is good, brewed, in general, oddly enough, it’s quite rare here, everywhere there are 3 in 1 bags : -)
The area is small, almost no pool in the building. The big plus of the hotel is the beach across the road. Excellent, clean, with blue water and white sand, but there are a lot of people. Umbrellas. there are sun loungers, 200 baht a set. In general, the rest on the beach and in the hotel is wonderful, no complaints. If you want more impressions and truly fabulous and not crowded beaches, “like in the picture” - it’s better to go to the islands of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. Next time we will definitely pay more attention to excursions around Phuket itself, it has a big history, in fact, and we don’t know anything. There were many interesting programs, but there was no time and money). And so, this time everything was super, as always, thanks Tai!
The breakfasts were very good, varied, we came at different times, and the food was always “full”, the staff followed this, if something was over, they immediately brought a new portion. Between the first and second buildings, there is a building on the roof of which there are 2 swimming pools, a jacuzzi and a bar. The staff at the hotel were friendly and welcoming, almost everyone speaks English. Our hotel is located on Karon Beach, but we went to Kata. At this time of the year, the waves are very large, it is almost impossible to swim, and there are almost no waves on Katya.
We decided on our favorite cafes for lunch and dinner on the 3rd-4th day, there are many of them on the nearest streets. Be sure to try banana pancakes from local mobile “cooks”. Also, we were not afraid to try everything on carts with kebabs, fried fish : -) - we never got hurt! : -)
As for shopping, I definitely won’t recommend it to anyone. There are many local shops, there are two main shopping centers in Phuket - Central Festival and Jung Ceylon, everything is more European there, and there are also souvenirs, but more expensive than anywhere else.
I think it's better to take excursions not from operators, and not from local ones without any guarantees, but from companies with Russian employees - everything is clear, normal prices, there are all guarantees and insurance. They even managed to reschedule us for the next day, we messed up and forgot that we already had plans for that day. Everything came out without problems. We visited a beautiful national reserve with animals and traveled by sea - a great addition to the rest!
Everything was great and we didn't want to leave! Looking forward to next visit : -)
