1. Numbers. We took the most ordinary number. There was a huge double bed, a bathroom, a huge sofa, slippers, bathrobes, a kettle, a hairdryer... while the star rating of this hotel is only 3 stars, and the room looks like all 5. We were on the 2nd floor, so everything was with a balcony OK. He went out to a nearby hotel, but I think that there is nothing wrong with that.
2. Someone wrote about the fact that the pool is dirty. We checked in on December 31st and on January 1st in the evening the water in the pool was really cloudy, because. Jan 1 is a day off. But then I saw that they wash the pool every day with a water vacuum cleaner. But people, you came to the sea, you can swim in the pool in Russia. I never understood people who swim in the pool. Rave!
3. Beach. In Karon Bay, it seems to me that only our hotel had a normal access to the sea, maybe. immediately after leaving the hotel, a wooden bridge was built there, a cat. goes to the beach. In other hotels, just a path in the sand....
4. Sea. Beautiful. The coastline is long and wide. Everywhere I read about the fact that at low tide the corals are exposed and it is impossible to swim. I don’t know how it is in other bays, but there is no such thing on Karon! In fact, there are no fish. I think that you need to go to the Red Sea for the ryuks.
5. Tomorrow in hotels. Again, I will say that this is not Turkey and Egypt. The tables certainly do not break... But this is Thailand. Tomorrow consisted of: several types of cereal, egg dishes of your choice (cooked in front of you), pasta, sausages, cheese, sausage, fruits (pineapple, watermelon, papaya), jam, bread and the ability to make toast from bread.
6. Excursions. We went to only 2 - the Similan Islands and Phao Song (if I'm not mistaken). The first (Similans) is fantastic. The islands are awesome: turquoise sea, huge boulders and vegetation. The Maldives are resting. By the way, the guides say that the rest of the islands are almost the same, only a little worse. Therefore, we decided not to go to others. The islands are located 90 km from Phuket. Ride by boat for an hour and a half. But it's worth it.
The second (Phao Song) included a visit to the city of monkeys, an hour canoeing on the river (very beautiful) and 2 people in a spoon and you are being taken... I even took a nap at the end and riding elephants through the jungle.
In general, if you go to Phuket, then I advise this hotel. Just ask not for the first floor, because. there balconies go directly to the pool....and I feel uncomfortable when you can’t go out onto the balcony and eat calmly, for example, fruit... )))
