hello to all the tourists who chose this hotel and this resort! We went from the tour operator Sanmar, for two a ticket for 13 days cost exactly 80.000 rubles. it’s difficult, half a meter wide, 1 meter long. only sometimes towels were hung on it and that’s it. the bed is not Kingsize, a little smaller, but normal, they have some kind of orthopedic mattresses there, comfortable... there is a free safe, a flashlight on the wall (I don’t know why). 4 rain umbrellas (2 large, 2 smaller) tea, coffee, kettle, shampoos and shower gel (reported every day....there are no bathrobes and slippers in the room. There is a shower in the wall in the bathroom... by the way, cold and hot water are poorly regulated, but these are trifles . . breakfasts are decent, I'm not a gourmet, I had enough....any egg dishes, ham, salads, fruits. etc....some Russian people sat for hours having breakfast there, apparently to save on food, and ate all the dishes in a row, so as not to want to eat until the evening)))
BEACH.
It takes about 5 minutes to go to KATA beach, across a small river, there are few people on the beach, it’s clean, but it’s small, so we were there only once. yourself, some water, etc. We went to the beach through the territory of the Marina Phuket Resort hotel, there is a chic area, a bungalow in the garden, a wooden path to the beach, signs everywhere... leads to the very beginning of Karon Beach (a very beautiful place, creaky sand, a lot of greenery, and large stones on the side, you can take pictures on them, just walk, and there are a lot of fish around them) I advise everyone to sunbathe there! ! The waves were big, just super! ! for sunbeds for 100 baht, an umbrella is included... they go along the beach offering juices, beer, water, massage... and other merchants in rags, watches, belts, etc. Bargaining is a must! ! 3 times they will definitely drop the price.

EXCURSIONS.
We didn’t buy excursions from the guide, it’s much more expensive, although she didn’t even show us the price list, but only said what they were like. I didn’t really like the survey, it’s good that it rained all day and it was cloudy. I don’t feel sorry for the lost day... we were taken to a latex factory (a pillow from 3.5 thousand rubles), a jewelry factory (very expensive), a souvenir shop....in short, not really. On the islands of Phi Phi we bought from Matryoshka-tour, 1700 rubles per person, I liked the tour, to the Similans 2900 rubles per person, but we did not go there....to the Khao Sok Nature Reserve costs 2600 rubles (I liked the elephant ride and rafting) Simon show was also bought from Matryoshka (800 rubles). from each "girl". A taxi to Patong costs 400 rubles, you can bargain for 350... Shopping centers are not very popular curled, the choice is not very large, there are few branded items, the same as in Moscow, and the prices are the same... just if you just take a walk, walk around, but there is nothing for a fashionista to do there....there are a lot of people in Patong, noisy, but interesting Of course I wouldn't live there
NUTRITION
Many write that they eat for 150 rubles for three... honestly, I haven’t seen such prices anywhere, but they ate in different cafes and restaurants... they probably bought it on street carts, they stink so much that you don’t want to eat... we had an average of 600-700 rubles for two. For a dinner with a drink and more! Every Monday and Thursday a market comes behind the hotel, there are vegetables, fruits, cheap clothes in abundance, they fry fish, but the smell is terrible... they bought quickly fruits and in the room... Massages were done several times, the prices are almost the same everywhere, and they still discount prices....Thai 150-200, foot massage is the same, etc. In general, I really liked the trip, cleaner than in Pattaya, more expensive, but Pattaya is also interesting... so go to Thailand without hesitation! Write if you have any questions, I will answer everyone! After all, you can’t tell everything))
