Рамаянский рай ramayana paradise

When we arrived at the hotel, it was already dark and we were pretty tired from the flight and the 6-hour transfer, so the first impression was rather blurry. At the reception, we were warmly greeted by a pretty woman who quickly and incomprehensibly rumbled something in English. Unfortunately, the staff does not speak Russian at all, and English is sometimes not very clear, but despite the language barriers, you can always agree without problems.
The hotel itself is like a paradise in the jungle: quiet, calm and very beautiful.
Rooms in the hotel are one-story houses with 4 rooms each. almost a bungalow))) each room has access to a terrace overlooking the local reservoir. our room was in the back of the territory, we almost felt like Robinsons)

The area is very beautiful, but not big. Lots of butterflies and birds. And also the hickons. on all the walls you will see even more than one such creature. Therefore, it is better to close the doors to the balcony at night. Of course, they are not dangerous, but it is not pleasant to find a lizard in bed before going to bed. In general, these lizards are all over the island, so this is not a problem of the hotel, but of the island as a whole.
The staff is friendly, very helpful, always ready to help. Cleaning is daily, when they are cleaned, they didn’t even notice) they cleaned well. linen was changed in 8 days either once or 2. In the room - fresh fruit (bananas and some small apples).
In the room itself (there are two types of them, we took ravana junior) a huge double bed with a canopy, a TV with one Russian channel (on which cartoons are all the time), a mini bar (local beer, water, cola, local rum, chips, nuts) The prices in the minibar are quite reasonable.
Meals in buffet style for breakfast. Fried eggs, boiled eggs, waffles, coffee-tea, yoghurts, fruits, sausages, bacon, a lot of boiled vegetables. rather monotonous, however, as in any country.
The pool is small but very nice. there is a jacuzzi. around the pool - Thai massage.
But there is no sea. Minibuses leave the hotel every hour from 9 am to 5 pm. By the way, they take you to two beaches: at the Dewa hotel and on Kai Bay. we didn’t swim on Kai Bay, because there is a pier nearby and a lot of boats, so it’s dirty. The Dewa beach is great.
Also every evening, around 21.30 from the hotel there is a minibus to White Sand Beach, where there are many shops, massage parlors and cafes on the seashore. such a hangout place.
And at 11.30 in the morning you will be taken directly from the hotel to the Klong Plu waterfalls. all on the same bus. very convenient, because it's cheaper than a tour (you only pay 200 baht per person for the entrance) and more time.

Of the places where to eat, I advise you to pay attention to the Katya Culinary cafe (it is located on the road to the Dewa beach, somewhere in the middle, it takes a long walk, about 20 minutes at a quick pace, it’s easier to catch a taxi). The food here is delicious and beautifully presented. and also on the Owen restaurant, you will find it if you leave the Dewa hotel and go towards the main road, there will be hotels on the right, the river on the left. When the hotels run out, shops will be located on the left. Owen restaurant is also on the left between the tailor shop and the massage parlour. The food there is very tasty, the menu is written in Russian as well, and most importantly, cheap. My husband and I ate for 700 baht, three courses each + alcohol.
You can eat in two restaurants at the hotel, but there prices are still higher. Although often the hotel arranges an evening buffet in one of the restaurants for 700 baht per person + a glass of wine as a gift.
My husband and I are absolutely delighted with this hotel. It was exactly what we were looking for - a relaxing holiday.
