Normal 25-storey hotel. Good location in relation to Jung Ceylon shopping center, relatively inexpensive seafood cafes (across the road), exchange offices, Bangal Road. Ten minutes walk to the beach. Good panoramic view from the window. The balconies of the end rooms (back side of the hotel) are larger than the regular rooms. However, on the balconies of the end rooms, the wind is felt stronger than on ordinary ones, and if the wind is strong, you can hear its howls and the rattling of glasses. In the end rooms, two walls of the room are completely glass, which offers a panoramic view of Patong. The hotel rooms are relatively large, the floor is pleasantly tiled in the form of parquet boards, the walls are painted. The furniture is not new, but not old either, there is no overhead lighting. there is a floor lamp, two bedside lamps, a lamp on the table, lighting in the corridor, lighting in the mini-bar, lighting in the closet. The room has a free mini-safe, tea accessories, an umbrella. Water (2 bottles), 2 tea bags and coffee with cream, shampoo, bath foam, body lotion, caps, razors, toothbrushes with paste are replenished every day. There is a small fridge which is stocked with minibar drinks (+ Phuket map for 200 baht!! ! and condoms for 100 baht : ) which you can ask to be taken away ("ay dont wont minibar" : ). breakfast from 6 am to 10 am, you can eat. separately, the cook prepares scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, boils eggs. Of the meat dishes were mini pork sausages, chicken, ham, Indian cuisine (spicy), different types of rice (steamed, fried with egg, with pieces of fish and squid, etc. ). Fruits of the season - pineapples, watermelon, papaya, melon, juices - orange (very sweet), apple, pineapple - normal. pastries, jams. In general, you can eat delicious. In the evening from 18 to 21 for 299 baht per person, a buffet dinner is offered (a normal selection of dishes, even rolls were), but drinks are for a fee. The service at the hotel is normal, the staff is friendly, they greet as much as possible in English ("gad moning" the maid once said : ). They settled on arrival (arrived at 11 am), though at 14.00 (as written in their rules), the room was not yet ready, although we hoped that they would settle right away, the hotel is big. Beach towels are taken near the pool on an appointment, and according to their rules, they must be returned on the same day (which is very inconvenient), as the employee makes a note. We often handed over towels with a two-day delay, we talked about this to the towel collector, and despite the terrible stories of the hotel guide, the Thais did not regard our towels as lost and did not deduct the cost of towels from the deposit. The hotel has three panoramic (with a transparent wall overlooking the sea and the city) lifts. In general, the hotel is good, I recommend.
In Patong, I recommend the sea from a lot to the right of Bangla Road (if you face the sea), there is a toilet (5 baht) and a shower (20 baht) near the beach, the sea is much cleaner there. I also recommend Tri Trang beach in Patong (located at the left end of Patong Bay, if you face the sea) - it is a bay - a secluded beach, shallow water, warmer water (relevant in November), white sand, shade from trees. Entrance to the beach and renting a sunbed is 100 baht, but nearby (on the right side of the beach, if you are facing the sea) there is a beach of the Tri Trang hotel, where, according to friends, you can disguise yourself as residents of this hotel and lie on their beach for free even on sunbeds (not really tried). But the beach is really good, a very big plus is the shade from the trees (good in the heat). You can eat inexpensively (300 baht for two) in Patong in jungle ceylon in the basement in the food court (a collection of cafes) - at the cashier at the entrance you put money on the card that you pay when buying dishes, the cashier returns the rest of the money.
