There have been no reviews for this hotel on this site for a long time. During this time the hotel managed to change its name, and now it is Melissa. Its new owners are the owners of the famous Turkish hotel Long Beach Resort Hotel & Spa5 * & Harmony5 * (these are two hotels in common). They bought it only, but some moments of the Turkish service are already available.

There have been no reviews for this hotel on this site for a long time. During this time the hotel managed to change its name, and now it is Melissa. Its new owners are the owners of the famous Turkish hotel Long Beach Resort Hotel & Spa5 * & Harmony5 * (these are two hotels in common). They bought it only, but some moments of the Turkish service are already available. The rooms themselves are cozy, clean (there are moments, for example, in the form of a shower curtain, which I wanted to remove and throw away.. ). and everything else is fine. Balcony with dryer, air conditioning that is not aimed at the bed and therefore can be turned on all the time, the TV is, works, but we turned it on once, checked that it works and everything. small refrigerator. The hair dryer is white, but I did not use it. Free in-room safe. Large comfortable bed. Cleaning is great! Upon arrival at the hotel we did not have a faucet in the shower, it was immediately repaired in 10 minutes. And the light was cut down twice! ! ! in the same way everything was fixed quickly.
In the shower there is a flow water heater, and you adjust the level of water heating, which is very convenient. Tooth paste, soap, shower gel, shampoo were reported twice. Wonderful Wi-Fi in the rooms and throughout its territory (we watched movies, did not slow down!! ) There is no security at check-in, which is just as great. The pool, well, we did not get to it ....not in the pool, we went swimming. The hotel itself is in a very convenient location. Right on the corner of Femelimarket! you can pay by card without restrictions. For example, in 7/11 card payment from 300 baht. Immediately shop with all sorts of creams, latex pillows (I saw them by chance, bought for 900 baht, in other places the same sell from 1000 and above). These two shops have absolutely everything for life and for your loved ones, and for gifts, and the prices are great. Massage! Did right there on the hotel for 300 baht -everything is very clean, comfortable, high quality - the girls know their business! ! ! Food!
breakfasts were in our cafe on site. As the morning goes on, the main thing that was prepared to order and made hot. If you do not have enough, then on the way to the beach or in the same femme market you can buy everything you like, so as not to stay hungry. Right across the street from the hotel there is a small green house that opens at 5pm and there is always a crowd! This is femeli sea food! this cafe with seafood, at great prices, tested! Choice as everywhere-limited-2, maximum 3 species of fish, two species of turtles, squid, shrimp, crabs. All this is prepared quickly and, if desired, you can endure, as we did every night. And in the room organized a family feast in comfort, silence. During the day we ate in two places - if you face the green cafe with seafood, then on the left just across the road, there will be a cafe Tai Tai food. Normal prices are perfectly prepared. If on the way out of the hotel, without crossing the road to the left 100-150 meters will be a cafe the Kitchen.
Also well prepared, very friendly hosts. By no means do I recommend eating (of course, except for the breakfasts that are included, you will not get anywhere here) in the cafe where breakfast is served! ! ! ! ! it's still tin. They have few visitors, and it may happen that you have chosen a dish, but there are no ingredients for it and the chef runs to buy them ...they can sit for a long time waiting for food. And what they bring is not tasty. The same secret is a national dish, everyone cooks it and everything is ok, but here's the problem with that. Once, on arrival, out of ignorance (just arrived in the evening, about 19 hours, wanted to eat, but could not go anywhere) ...sitting for more than an hour waiting for food, trying the order, put on one hundred and 20 baht for work and left in a green house across the road, because they saw that people there was just darkness and all their stay in Thailand ordered dinner there. In the morning, waking up and having breakfast, we went to the beach.
On the way we went to an open shop where we bought fruit (we cleaned and sliced mangoes, papaya, pineapple, etc. , whatever the soul wanted), as well as there took everything else. Go very far to the beach and in the process of exploring the area we found an interesting detail. The huge Club Med is located along the entire shoreline. It is surrounded by a fence, but its length is about 90% of the entire beach of Kata. And if your hotel is behind it, then to get to the beach, you need to go around this hotel on the right or left. ) I estimated the range of the hike to the beach ....Although, if you look at the map, it seems that this is the beach, very close ...crossed the road ...but no ....you will need to go around and this hotel . So here I guessed the choice, so Melissa is first beach. The beach itself. She concluded that she had chosen the right period of rest.
October is still a lot of gloomy days, but in November the sea is excellent with comfortable waves and enough sunshine.
It rained several times, but it did not interfere with our rest. But the closer to December, the more people on Katya and other beaches. We were on the beach in the morning until 11-12 o'clock and went, so by this time the beach has become an anthill with the Chinese and Russians (most of them there), in general the people in the season will be dark, which is not conducive to comfortable rest. In general, rested well, if you do not take into account the surprise of the Annex with a seat at the airport 12 hours on departure and 15 hours, maybe sat down for refueling in Tbilisi ....but this is a review of the airline and MOT ....Hotel itself I recommend. Who I do not recommend it is for families with young children. It is very inconvenient to go from the hotel to the beach, shops, etc. if your child is in a stroller. There is no sidewalk, you walk on the roadway and cars drive past you. Only this moment.

The room had constant interruptions with water, that is, no, in most cases the water pressure is very weak, so you can’t really wash yourself. The sink was clogged. There is a sea of ants in the bathroom, as well as an abundance of dead and live cockroaches in the hotel. Wifi didn't work.

The hotel manager, a Turk, responded aggressively to all the criticism, saying that it was not his fault and you yourself are to blame for not being able to connect to the Internet, and stuff like that. The staff is rude and not friendly.

Good day everyone! (For everyone who travels to Thailand for the first time, it will be very useful, do not be too lazy to read everything) The review is rather not about the hotel, but in general about a trip to the country of Thailand, Siam, and now Thailand. This is the first trip to such an exotic and distant country.

Good day everyone! (For everyone who travels to Thailand for the first time, it will be very useful, do not be too lazy to read everything)
The review is rather not about the hotel, but in general about a trip to the country of Thailand, Siam, and now Thailand. This is the first trip to such an exotic and distant country.
And so, in the hands of a ticket for two to the island of Phuket. Bought a month before the trip. Everything was smooth until a day before departure, Utair pleased us: 1. Flight delay for 6 hours, 2. We are not flying to the island itself, but to the Krabi mainland (which is more than 200 km from the island). By the way, when we landed, we looked at the coast of Krabi - a paradise on our planet, it is very beautiful there!
However, we landed as scheduled (flight 12 hours). Naturally, everyone was tired, I wanted to get out of the stuffy cabin of the plane to take a breath of fresh air. Yes, where is it! Are you talking about the "fastest" Estonians? Ha, no matter how! The most of the most are Thais! They are never in a hurry anywhere... We will encounter this more than once. We were released after 45 minutes of "marinating" in the cabin, although the process of passing through passport control and customs went pretty quickly. But the quick passage through customs was offset by a long wait for the bus driver. By the way, in Thailand there is an interesting practice - luggage is carried not in the luggage department of the bus with tourists, but in special covered pickups that carry luggage in front of the bus. This is how you arrive at the hotel, and your luggage is already waiting for you))). We waited for about 45 minutes and drove off, while we were looking at the nature and life of the Thais. They drive on the left, like in Japan. 50% jeep pickups, 10% light sedans and 40% mopeds. Cars are not very expensive, but all new, well-groomed. Almost no one observes traffic rules, and the traffic signs themselves, except for signs in Thai, and somewhere in English there are no more. Somehow I went to the crossroads and point-blank tried to find at least some sign of priority - I did not find it. How do they destroy?? ? By 4 o'clock by bus, we finally stopped at the island. We only managed to set up a couple of hotels when we got into a traffic jam (! ) in Patong. It was already about 6 pm, the guide says there is always a traffic jam at this time, and there is no way around. After pushing with other cars, we finally escaped. When we found out that we were the last ones in the delivery, we were very upset, because imagine how long it took us to keep the path and even here it’s quite a bit within reach, anet... (((
Hallelujah!! ! The rest of the travelers sang in chorus when they saw the sign of Natalie Resort. But, here the hotel manager "pleased" us, the rooms that Coral Travel booked for us are occupied and we will be accommodated for the night in a nearby hotel-bunkhouse!! ! Scandal, but our guide from Koral said, they say, be patient ((( Honestly, I didn’t even have the strength to argue. I won’t talk about the rooming house, I don’t need to, but the next day at 2 o’clock we were really moved to Natalie. The hotel is new, if I'm not mistaken in 2010. Everything is clean, everything works, although the staff does not speak Russian, and English is not very good, although they always understood each other after gestures and grimaces). rather, it is a legushatnik, 10 minutes walk from the sea without sharp drops, the food is certainly not for gourmets, but for all the time I have not had a wild case when I feel sick from the "choice". If you came to eat, then the hotel is not for you, if for sea and new experiences, it is quite possible. We only had breakfast, had lunch and dinner in numerous restaurants and coffee shops. Usually lunch for two cost us ~ 600-1000 baht. Well, if some pretentious restaurant, then from 1500 baht. By the way, about the local currency BAT, Baht is practically equal to our ruble 1 = 1. The advice is this, do not take the dollar ry, take our rubles, there they are easily exchanged for baht and there are a lot of exchangers!
The nearest beach is Kata Beach - a large beach, a lot of people in good weather. When we arrived, it was raining for 3.5 days and there were very few people on the beach. As soon as the sun came out, sometimes there was nowhere to step. The sea itself for the entire time of our stay was not calm, sometimes the waves were so big that sometimes it was risky to go into the water. Kata is certainly a good beach, but don't be too lazy to go to Kata Noi (small). It is much cleaner, less crowded and quieter. Mostly Europeans and Australians rested there, there are few Russians there. And there are more fish there than anywhere else. When we found this beach, then we only went there.
