Наш первый отпуск Our first vacation

Hello everyone, I want to share our first vacation. My girlfriend and I have long wanted to go somewhere to relax. We came to the travel company with questions about Turkey, but in response we were offered Thailand, a cat. came out cheaper than Turkey, though the flight was from Moscow. Without thinking twice, we bought a tour to Thailand, on about. Phuket, hotel Orchoidacea resort 3*.
We looked at the pictures, read the reviews, everything is fine, but still there were thoughts that not everything is so good there...
We flew from the company Biblio-globus, meeting the parties of Biblio-globus, all excursions from the company "Thai Rus" (Super company, in particular ARSEN and ANTON).

We flew to Phuket in the morning, at about 9 am local time. After 40-45 minutes we were already at the hotel. The room was on the first level (No. 303). From the window there was a wonderful view of the sea. Everything was as described in the travel company, located on a hill, between Kata Beach and Kata Noi. The largest and cleanest was Kata, we didn’t manage to get to Kata Noi : )
The room had everything you need for a good vacation: air conditioning, TV (though without a Russian channel), shower, toilet, locker and 2 umbrellas : )
Next to the room, in 10-15 steps, there was a swimming pool, a ping-pong table, a gym and a cocktail bar. . .
The price included only breakfast, although they were monotonous, but it was enough until the evening.
As for food: all food is European, no snakes, spiders, etc. I highly recommend trying the shark and lobster steak. From drinks: very tasty watermelon juice, from alcohol: they drink everything the same as we do.
If you don’t have much money, but you want to eat tasty and inexpensive, there is a cool little restaurant with yellow tablecloths “Mai Thai”, where the grandfather works so slowly, puts food without sparing, one portion of meat with rice is full...
Walking down the street to the beach or just walking around, you will definitely be invited by merchants who offer to sew a suit, shirt, dresses, etc. from Armani, D&G, etc. If you decide, then be sure to bargain, on the first day I was offered to sew a suit for 5900 baht (5900 rubles), at the end of the vacation he already spoke about 2000-3000 baht.
If you decide to take excursions, then decide for yourself where to take them, either from your operator (~ $ 100 / person) for an excursion, or on the street ~ 1300 baht, but on the street no one will insure you against any emergency or something else something thread : )
We bought 4 excursions (Phi Phi Island, Canoeing, Jungle Trophy (on elephants and rafting) and Shopping Therapy (souvenir shop - there is almost everything and 3-4 times cheaper than on the street if we were on a sightseeing tour , then you were brought to a snake farm, they offered all sorts of "potions" and pearl cream, it costs $ 100 on the farm, in a souvenir shop - 480 baht. )
There are no rats, spiders, cockroaches in the room, though a couple of lizards 5-10 cm in size ran in. The linen was changed every day.

I RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO EVERYONE!!! !
