We rested in this hotel for 2 weeks, 3 adults and a 6 year old child. The hotel is very good, in good standing with the guides. This is probably one of the best hotels in Phuket. The hotels have a Russian guide, Diana, a good girl, she will explain everything, help if necessary. The beach is decent, no need to cross the road, located near the hotel. There are ebb and flow, but it does not bother, the bottom is flat, sandy, full of shells and there are living creatures in the stones (hedgehogs, fish, crabs). under our sun loungers, cool. The nature is wonderful, the hotel is located in a conservation area. Nearby there are local restaurants where you can eat very well. The prices in these restaurants are ridiculous. For comparison. Dinner for 1 person in the hotel 1200 baht (+10% service and + 7% taxes), in a restaurant for 4 we spent, a maximum of 1500 baht (this is with ice cream and cocktails) 1 cocktail in pineapple costs 180 baht. Not far from the hotel there is a freshwater lake and a Buddhist temple (very beautiful) Behind the lake, a local village and villas for rent are full of Russian tourists both in the hotel and next to it. This village has saunas, spas and massages. . salons, prices are much lower than in the hotel, but do not forget to ask for certificates, otherwise after the massage, it is possible not to get up from the couch. . . The hotels do massage professionally, the prices are about the same as in Moscow, for example, Thai massage (60 min. ) costs 1000 baht, but do not forget about the tax and% for service, because. to. all their prices are indicated without these%, so that there is no surprise in the calculation. You can walk in the hotel without a wallet and write everything down on NN, as in all expensive hotels, you can pay at the check-out, and they take a deposit from you upon check-in (either in cash at the rate of 2000 baht per day from the room, or write off data from plastic cards )Very comfortably. There is no discounted shopping in Phuket. because this is a resort area, you have to go to Bangkok for clothes, there is only rest. But you can buy souvenirs. You will be transported by special shops where you can choose gifts for every taste from a cheap plastic elephant to luxury jewelry. The most excellent souvenirs can be bought at the Fantasy show. This is an evening show, before the show there is an opportunity on the territory of the town to buy a lot of gifts, have fun, see albinos (there is a mini zoo) take a lot of photos, including. h. and professional (for a fee) you will be dressed in us. clothes, make-up, well, etc. Guides offer various excursions, there are plenty to choose from. We were on 3, all good. Excursions cost about $ 100 per person, discounts for children, you can get such an extreme that then it will take a long time to remember. For 150-250 baht / day, you can rent a motorbike and ride around the area, I don’t advise you to go far, because. because there are completely different rules and the police are always on the side of the locals, on the left (if you face the hotel) there is another hotel, there are excellent fish on its beach, across the mountain to the right of the hotel there is Rawai Bay, there is a port, there are very few hotels, but there are many restaurants where you can eat seafood inexpensively, it’s tiring to go there on foot, because. to. in the heat, but uphill. . . you are not, but on the motorcycle it is very good. In the restaurants near the hotel, all this is also available, but they have a monopoly, so the prices are different, but by our (Moscow) standards, they are simply ridiculous. For example 100 gr. lobster costs 190 baht, the average lobster weighs 1100g. For 2 thousand with a little you can eat a delicacy. Fruits can be bought right there from the locals. A bunch of bananas costs from 30-100 baht (they are only small there), a peeled pineapple of a rug is 30 baht, a whole one is 50 baht, a coconut is 30 baht, there are other exotic things, for example, I really like golden mango- 50batt/pc and mangosteen(by weight). Juices (freshly squeezed), about 6-8 items can be drunk for breakfast at the hotel, breakfasts are normal, there are pastries, omelettes, they make you in front of you, soups, fish and meat cuts, vegetables, fruits, etc. they have excellent yoghurts, in maroon whole fresh berries, pieces 3-4 are definitely in a glass. . . you won’t die of hunger, We ate so well for breakfast that we didn’t want to look at the food until 6 pm. . . We had dinner at Langusta, a restaurant outside the hotel. Yes, all their restaurants look like eateries, but they cook well, there is a menu in Russian, the staff even tries to communicate. . . Very helpful, we left a 100 baht tip, it's all very conditional, there is no obligation, but they are very pleased. They also didn’t give much on excursions, the guide will tell you if anything. . . Well, if it’s karate, then something like this. If you have any questions, write, I will answer. to. all impressions are still very fresh. Have a great rest, which is what I wish you. Sincerely, Svetlana.
