November 24, family, the child is 10 years old. The hotel is wonderful - the rooms, staff, large territory, convenient infrastructure and a very varied breakfast - everything is fine.
The beach itself is an ideal place if you are looking for a compromise between intimacy and the opportunity to unwind. There are cafes, beach clubs with evening shows, massage parlors in any direction from the hotel. At the same time, the beach itself is sparsely populated due to the minimum of hotels nearby. In fact, there are only 3 of them on a very long coastline. There is a restaurant across the street from the entrance to the hotel:
- shop with everything you need (SIM cards, water, yoghurts, ice cream, coffee, hygiene products, alcohol, snacks, etc.)
- a shop with vegetables and smoothies (there are the cheapest coconuts, only 60 baht, they give a tube in a package and special bags)
- kebab and Thai pancakes with banana and nutella
- three restaurants. We went around the circle several times, the food is delicious and safe. The menu is for both children and adults. Thai cuisine is adapted in terms of spices, there is pizza, pasta, burgers for children.
The hotel itself has quite good breakfasts, but the dinners and lunches were disappointing - tasteless, I ordered only desserts, brownies with coffee were quite tasty. There are no European desserts in the street cafes opposite.
If you go to the left of the hotel and walk right along the road, there will be an exchanger, a large food market, even a store with a remarkable leaflet where you can buy something that is prohibited in most countries.
The beach is more detailed. There is shallow water here, 50 meters to the waist, it is very convenient for children. Everything is fenced with buoys, the waves in November were soft, great for entertainment, even grown men were jumping :).
To the left of the hotel, right by the river, there is literally a table with an offer to go by boat to snorkeling or islands. We are very pleased, we regretted that we spent the day and money on an excursion to Racha Yai and Coral. It is much more pleasant to swim several times to snorkeling and a beautiful beach in just 20 minutes than to get up at 6 a.m., drive for a long time, then swim for a long time in cramped conditions, and see exactly the same thing. One trip costs 2000 baht per boat, and the tour costs 1500 from the bow.
If you want evening entertainment, shopping and a variety of food, then for 200 baht you can take a tuk-tuk to Boat Avenue, 100 to the nearest night market and Poppy, there is also a large hypermarket and a pharmacy, 7/12. It's worth walking, there are no sidewalks as such, lighting is also far away.
I summarize the above briefly - we are very happy with the trip, thanks to the hotel, location and beach, it was a very good choice.
A great hotel for a family holiday! In principle, you can take an all-inclusive meal plan and spend the whole vacation at the hotel. The hotel has 2 delicious restaurants, massage, 4 good pools (with a depth level from child to adult) and 2 children's paddling pools, table tennis, billiards, children's rooms, a large territory and of course its own beach with sun loungers. Sun loungers are also available around each pool. We had a package with breakfast and they were decent, you won't leave hungry (the buffet is good). The hotel grounds are cleaned every day, so everything is clean. There are 2 water slides (one is right for kids, and the second is interesting even for an adult). The rooms are spacious (in good condition for Thailand) with the same balconies and even have a small kitchen. Next to the hotel there is a Tool's Daily store (tipo 7 elaven), an exchanger with an average profitable rate, 1 restaurant and 2 tipo restik (I would call them a cafe). It's quite tasty everywhere. The area is not at all lively, but approximately about 1 km on foot and you will find everything you need (a supermarket, small retail outlets, pharmacies, makashnitsy, rental vehicles, and a night market that operates 2 times a week). I'll give you a minus star for cleaning the rooms. They do it as superficially as possible and in order to be well cleaned, you need to "poke your nose" at them. Overall, the hotel left a delightful impression.
