1. Flight. The flight was on schedule, without delay, but we spent almost 2 hours at refueling. The flight, of course, tired. But when you drive around the island, the feeling of fatigue and a long flight at 11 o’clock disappears somewhere.
2. The hotel was chosen in a hurry, so we only read the reviews, we did not particularly consider the photos of the hotel. We thought that 3* would be something like a barn. But in fact, when we were driven to the hotel, we thought that this was probably a mistake. The hotel looks very, very good. Building of 9 floors. There is a swimming pool - "paddling pool". Externally, the hotel made a very good impression. When we entered the hall, there were flowers everywhere, it smelled very pleasant, and pineapple juice was immediately brought to us. There was a huge queue at the reception, but the administrators settled people at an incredible speed. Unfortunately, no one speaks Russian, they were explained in English. Hotel deposit $100. It is given upon departure, if you have not done anything or have not used any paid services at the expense of the hotel. You have a receipt on hand. We got a room on the 9th floor, unfortunately, the view is not on the sea, but this was quite enough for us, since this did not particularly play a role for us. In the room, a plate of different fruits was waiting for us in the fridge. A trifle, but nice. Our room was a "Deluxe room", but in fact it is an ordinary standard room, a large-screen TV, a safe, a wardrobe, air conditioning, a mini fridge. We were satisfied with the hotel.
3. The hotel is located almost in the very center. Everything is within walking distance: markets, markets, the beach, discos, a selection of excursions, restaurants. The hotel is very quiet, no street noise is heard, everything is as it should be.

4. Nutrition. We have breakfasts (BB). The choice is not great, but did not leave hungry. Every day eggs, several types of cheese and sausages, potatoes, rice, tomatoes, cereal with jam, buns, watermelon, pineapple, papaya. The food is delicious, not spicy. You can always go to the supermarket and choose your own food for every taste. The market is very large (Big C Extra).
5. Excursions. 1) Overview of the island. An interesting tour, from the hotel it is free. For general development it is worth going. 2) J. Bond Island - a very interesting excursion, they bring to the islands, kayaking, delicious food. 3) Phi Phi Island - a beautiful island, a good beach. 4) Rafting - a rich excursion, adrenaline received, in addition to rafting - riding on elephants, on a quad bike, on a bungee, visiting a waterfall. Emotions ran high. 5) Similans - PARADISE!! ! Very cool tour, mini Maldives.
All excursions were bought on the street, not in the hotel, and the savings were colossal more than twice. The hotel from the tour operator is very expensive, the program is all identical, and the guides are Russian, and there are licenses for conducting and insurance. You can not worry. The hotel is talking about buying excursions on the street - how incomprehensible that if we buy on the street, we will get into trouble. Don't believe. See for yourself later. And the money is returned (We had a situation with the Similans, there was a storm and they returned the money to us, but we just decided to reschedule to another date. ) From the tour operator, there are excursions on certain days, most likely there is no such flow of tourists, but in street agencies there are excursions every day and a lot more choice.
A huge "thank you" to the representative of Pegasus in the hotel - Natalia, who forgot to sign us up for a survey of the island. But we went there without you. I do not advise dealing with this representative, incompetent, arrogant, takes a lot of time when meeting. Well, in general, the operator was satisfied.
Good hotel, good location, good housekeeping, helpful staff.
