Convenient location, proximity to the sea, cozy and quiet area, green area of the hotel, friendly and helpful staff, excellent swimming pool with a bar open until 22:00. We had a room with the best view of the bay and did not regret paying extra for it. Birdsong in the morning, soft and clean bed))) Room cleaning and towels were changed every day. The air conditioner worked well. The breakfasts were varied and delicious. In general, the impressions are only good!

Rested with his wife in Phuket at the Serene Resort from 10 to 21.01. 2011. Read, gentlemen, all the reviews on all forums, there is a lot of useful and repetitive information, and I will write only what I was convinced of from my own experience.

Rested with his wife in Phuket at the Serene Resort from 10 to 21.01. 2011. Read, gentlemen, all the reviews on all forums, there is a lot of useful and repetitive information, and I will write only what I was convinced of from my own experience. I immediately join all the positive reviews about the hotel, location, staff, breakfast. So:
1) Hotel - disadvantages: in the last two days, ants began to appear in the room. The only remedy for this is not to leave food out of the refrigerator. And when you eat fruits, throw the peel and peels into a separate bag and tie it tightly. Mosquitoes fly - buy a fumitox plate at 7-11 - and the problem is solved. everything else is a plus. there are a lot of them. any problem - a call to the reception, and the excellent staff will solve everything in a moment. oh yes, here's another drawback - the Internet is very slow in the hotel. 3 computers at the reception, you buy a card for 100 minutes - and you spend these minutes waiting for pages to load. I went from the communicator a little faster, but also slowly.
2) excursions - our powerful tour operator Natalie-tours still divorced us to buy two excursions, although I knew about the overpayment by 2.5 times. now I agree with everyone - the overpayment is not relevant. yes, a Russian guide, yes, interesting stories, but the overpayment is too big. On the street, there are the same Russian-speaking guides, and excursions are the same for much smaller grandmothers. We went diving and safari in Khao Lak. The tours are absolutely incredible. Divers, attention - if you did not dive there - you have lost a lot. And Safari - communication with wildlife, elephants, monkeys, rafting, turtles, waterfalls... - awesome. overpaid, but nevertheless did not regret. By the way, the tour operator usually scares you - do not rent a bike, they say an extra scratch and they will not give you your passport. Listen to them, it's better not to breathe at all. We didn't take the bike and it's fun without it. But they take everything. If you're careful, it's very possible. Just don’t get lost there, you’ll get used to the left-hand traffic of FIG!!!
3) beaches and surroundings: Kata is quite a normal beach. Go left on the beach to the very stones, taking pieces of bacon for breakfast. Come along the stones with your camera down - spread the bacon on the stones, turn on the camera - and watch how cute crabs eat bacon. If you go uphill to Kata Noi, then take a banana or a bun with you. There, put on a mask near the stones, dive and crumble a bun - the Discovery TV channel will rest. such fish, mother dear. Beauty!! ! You can walk to Karon. Walk 25-30 minutes. The sand crunches like snow in the Urals. But Patong is a party place and the beach is not very good. In this regard, I was glad that I chose Serena Resort very successfully. Pharmacy across the road. I bought home green and yellow Thai balms, the benefits of which have already been discussed and discussed. Massages - once went to the Mali Spa at the hotel - and began to go there with my wife almost every evening. That's great. The rest of the salons were no longer needed. Overeat fruit - mangosteen, rambutan and other crap - it's cool. I tried a piece of durian - a rare muck.
4) Tips: Free SIM cards are offered at the airport. TAKE!! ! This is not a divorce, Simka is really normal. then you put money on her - and the call is cheap. 4-5 baht per minute to Russia. I didn't take it and regretted it. I bought a similar one, but for the money already.
5) Restaurants are all normal. This is already an amateur. I tried all kinds of Thai dishes, and my wife more often European cuisine. They cook well almost everywhere. in the evening on the street a tray with delicious pancakes. The fish market in Rawai. . . Well, it's also an amateur. A sea of all sorts. Everything is fresh. They cook delicious. But the restaurant there is quite dirty, there are flies all around. And the waiters are trans. We went there once - cool of course, but the second time we would not go.
6) who has not been - be sure to go to the local zoo. 500 baht for entry. the price includes a visit to three shows - monkeys (very mediocre), crocodiles (extreme), elephants (just super - you won't regret it. just for him it's worth going there)
All Thais are very friendly and sociable. Not for money and not for shopping. Just. With us, I can't imagine a security guard who would smile at you along with a greeting. They are kind and considerate people. And a beautiful country. I will definitely go again. And you have a good rest. Serena Resort has it!! !

I must say right away that the hotel is ideal for those who do not intend to sit in it around the clock! The rooms are clean, tidy and quite spacious. Towels are changed every day, linen is changed every two days, beach towels are either on request (we did), or just leave them for cleaning and they are changed automatically.

Towels are changed every day, linen is changed every two days, beach towels are either on request (we did), or just leave them for cleaning and they are changed automatically. We lived with two adults and a child and did not even take an extra bed - firstly, it "eats up" the place, and secondly, the one that we had was enough for four adults for sure. The room has a bathroom (shower, bath), TV, refrigerator, safe, minibar, individual air conditioning - you can set the temperature to 20 degrees and sleep in complete comfort, moreover, the air conditioner is very well located - not above the bed, but in the aisle, so the opportunity to catch a cold and other troubles are excluded - we appreciated it. There is a balcony with two chairs and a table, there is light on the balcony. View of the hotel and a drop of the sea) - by the way, we lived in 133. Who wants to lose weight, a great room - to get there, you need to overcome 4 steep stairs, so if you always forget something in the room, you are the nuance will strain. On the territory there is an adult pool with salt water, one of different depths with fresh water and one paddling pool. At the pools umbrellas, sun loungers - free of charge. The food is very mediocre, we took breakfast directly at the hotel (buffet) - nothing new for 2 weeks - eggs in various forms, fruit salad, fruits, vegetables, cereals, pancakes (more like pancakes), sausages (taste terrible), chicken, pork (probably for those who are especially hungry in the morning), toast, butter, jam, coffee, tea, milk, pineapple and orange juices. Breakfast costs 300 baht per person, children under 5 are free. A couple of times they arranged small holidays with dinner (book a table in advance, for a fee). The hotel area is all in greenery and flowers - it feels like in the jungle.
The nearest beach is Kata, sand, small waves, mostly calm sea, sun loungers and umbrellas for a fee - two sun loungers and one umbrella 200 baht. The beach is clean, but crowded - people from 10 to 15, then free, but in the evening you can’t take a sun lounger - at 17 the beach officially closes, lie on the sand. the only thing I didn't like was a lot of sellers of all sorts of things on the beach (they have everything at least 3 times more expensive! ).
If you are ready to spend 20 minutes walking uphill (! ), Then you can visit Kata Noi Beach - there are few people, there are no traders, clean, small, but the waves are terrible - if you want thrills - you are here! The price for umbrellas and sunbeds is the same.
Entertainment, such as massages, excursions, it is quite possible to take outside the hotel, be sure to bargain, sometimes it helps to halve the price.
Special information for those whose nature does not accept Thai cuisine and who travels with a child - not far from the Kata Beach Resort hotel (there are statues of elephants, it's hard not to notice), go towards Karon and turn right - there is a restaurant with Russian cuisine and a Russian chef "Spicy House" (House of Spice) - go in, you won't regret it. Good dinner for three around 1300 baht, food is yummy.
And one more thing - who is going to shop, you are not here! There are, of course, shops and souvenir shops, but everything is the same, small and expensive.
Nightlife in Patong but we don't know anything about it as there was a four year deterrent.
On excursions - Super Similans, Khao Sok + Chieu Lan Lake (2 days / 1 night) - for those who love wildlife, it's awesome (the road is long, but it's worth it - just for 2 days, it makes no sense for one! )
Would you go there again? Definitely yes. To this hotel? With pleasure.
Have a nice holiday!

Serene Resort 3* We stayed at the beginning of March 2008. The hotel is fully consistent with its 3 *. A small territory, two swimming pools (one up to 1 m for children, the second up to 1.8 m, you can swim at night.

Serene Resort 3*
We stayed at the beginning of March 2008.
The hotel is fully consistent with its 3 *. A small territory, two swimming pools (one up to 1 m for children, the second up to 1.8 m, you can swim at night. Four 4-storey buildings, friendly staff, daily cleaning in the room and change of linen.
To Kata beach 4 min walk (360 steps), to Kata Noi beach - about 15-20 min walk. The latter is distinguished by a small number of vacationers, beauty and comfort. But going uphill and then downhill is quite tiring. At the entrance to the beach there is a sign - Nice & Quiet, which is fully consistent with the content.
Breakfast at the hotel is a typical no frills buffet. Menu: fruits, yogurts, toast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, juices, sausages, ham, bacon, soup, salads, rice, stir-fries, etc. Regular European food with a touch of Thai cuisine, not spicy.
A massage parlour, and taxi service are available on site..
In the hotel restaurant in the evenings there is live music and occasional theatrical performances - an Elvis evening for example.
The room (36 sq. m. , superior) has two large beds pushed together and an extra bed standing separately. Air conditioning, refrigerator, safe, TV, bathroom, balcony, etc. All rooms overlook the central courtyard with pools. Room cleaning daily in the morning.
The hotel offers free use of computers (no CD/DVD/FDD, USB available) located near the reception. Internet access for money.
There are not many Russians in the hotel, mostly Germans and Scandinavians.
At the reception, free literature (including in Russian) about Thailand, etc.
The hotel is quite satisfied. A good quality piece for a reasonable price

Liked the hotel. Before the trip, it was a little scary, i. e. never rested in a 3 star hotel, but because. at that time she experienced some problems with finances, agreed to 3 stars. And never regretted it. We were greeted very warmly. At first they gave me a very large room, but dirty and with a view of the wall of the neighboring hotel.

We were greeted very warmly. At first they gave me a very large room, but dirty and with a view of the wall of the neighboring hotel. We reunited, and the next day we were moved to a cozy room overlooking the hotel courtyard for free (that is, without any thanks, except for verbal ones).
For those who like to relax in Turkey and Egypt, this hotel will really seem small and boring. It is more like a home-style guesthouse, small but very green area, 2 swimming pools, not very large, 1 bar on the territory.
While we were there, there was no animation, but we didn’t go for that.
We only had breakfast with food. I can not complain - a lot of pineapples, bananas, watermelons. Well, everything else is European. Lunch and dinner we went outside the hotel, because. the variety of Thai restaurants in the area was just crazy.
The staff is very helpful, friendly and does not ask for money. Cleaned in the room every 2 days, respectively, and towels changed with the same frequency.
The hotel does not have its own beach, but cross the road and immediately the city beach. He is very neat, the boys are constantly cleaning. For 2 c. u. your bed. The coastline is very wide, so there is enough space for everyone.
Another plus of this hotel for us personally is the almost absence of tourists from the countries of the former USSR (no offense to anyone, but it is better to love compatriots at home)
The hotel is far from the center of Phuket and there are practically no entertainments except for restaurants, but you can take a taxi and get to the fun center for 5-10 dollars.
This hotel is more suitable for families, as well as for those who travel all the time on various excursions (to other neighboring islands).
