We are a married couple with a 4 year old child from Vladivostok. We rested in Dalar resort in late May-early June. Before arriving, we read a lot of reviews, and made up our negative opinion at the time of paying for the trip. But, the payment has been made and, as they say, you will not return the money. Arriving at the hotel was a warm welcome with drinks. The attitude of the staff is not as described in the reviews. For example, we were escorted by the Russian-speaking Rosa. She gave us the first information about the hotel, because the meeting with the Pegasus representative was scheduled only for the next day. Taiki, meeting us in the corridors, clung to the walls, thereby expressing respect for the guests. The first impression is that this is a very tidy hotel with a medium-sized territory. All green, no dry or yellow leaves. A lot of workers, swarming near each bush. In the restaurant, the waiters run around, and everyone is in normal clothes. On the first day we dined at the restaurant and my daughter and I liked the menu. On the first day, we had the opportunity to get to the local bazaar (Shanghai). He comes every Monday and Thursday. The best time to leave is before 18:00 and before dark, walk to the bazaar (25 minutes), and get back by tuk-tuk for 100 baht. The next morning they brought hotel vouchers for a meeting with the guide. We are not special fans of going on excursions with children, especially since we are resting in Phuket for the second time. But we listened to a 2 hour lecture by the guide Alain on all excursions from Pegasus. I will say in one word: the conversation was forced, its goals are known, but why so much frightening? We were warned against communicating with the locals, they set us up for walks with an eye, you can’t drink, you can’t breathe, you can only go into the sea during the day, not buy excursions from Alex (very interested. Apparently the guys from Alex are very good competitors to Pegasus). . . What for? We pre-finished the meeting, forgetting to give a voucher for registration, which we remembered only at the end of the holiday!! ! Although, meeting with the guide and then, a week later, purchasing an excursion, he did not even ask about it. The next week we devoted ourselves to making our dream come true. We sunbathed: the beach has a very convenient entrance absolutely everywhere. We preferred to swim right next to the hotel, but when we wanted fewer people, we just went to the right of the hotel to the Sanguine Hotel. The beach is empty during the day. We were swimming. Daughter loves pools. After reading the negative reviews, they thought for a long time and did not let her swim, but, apparently, having relaxed, they allowed her once, and then completely forgot about alertness. And the smell of chlorine did not even bother us. It would be another matter if it didn’t exist at all, as once we ended up in a sickly hotel in Turkish Alanya. We wallowed in massage parlors. From the hotel to the right 100 meters orange massage room. Inexpensive. Thais are friendly. Always say hello. If anyone can give recommendations, it's them, and especially the girl Ai (we don't remember her full name). And this is not only our opinion with my husband. We ate. We did it at the hotel for breakfast. Daughter liked dragon fruit and omelet in the morning. During the day we went to the "three boars" to watch cartoons in Russian and eat porridge and okroshka. In the evening, we had dinner to choose from: we liked barbecue in the same "boars", soup-puree in "de maria" or pizza in "ricos" more. We hung out. Children's disco and painted faces every day. One "negative" moment - the daughter fell in love with Mr. Banana, and he took it and did not come on Sunday on his day off (there were tears !! ). We went to Patong. Taxi is expensive. For round trip 1200 baht. The first time they did not throw off, then they agreed on 1000 baht. Zhangceylon and heating market, malls and bangla road. We didn’t go out until late, because the child went to bed early. We quarreled. Pegasus guide Alain sold us a fantasy. He did not take money for the child. Waiting for 1 hour, swearing on the phone and spending money anyway completely spoiled the mood that evening. We are romantics. We rented a taxi and left for the edge of Phuket. Fascinating view of the cape in the south of the island (Pon Thep Cape) and dinner with seafood in the fishing village. We The second week of rest brought bad weather, which made me sad. In the evenings we only did what we ate and dozed off in the room. It's sad (( Will we come to Dalar again, of course Yes!
