I liked everything very much, clean rooms, spacious bathroom, smiling Thais at the reception (and one gloomy Russian :(), delicious breakfasts, wonderful rock concerts several times a week. Far from the sea, but useful for exercise! Immediately to the left of the entrance is a modest restaurant with very tasty inexpensive seafood and not spicy magic tom yang.The hotel massage is perfect (especially the masseuse named Ooo).

We took a family room with a balcony overlooking the garden, as we had a family vacation with our 2-year-old daughter. The room is spacious with modern design. There was everything you need, including a hair dryer and slippers. A crib was provided for an additional fee. Cleaning was not always satisfied, towels were not changed several times. The food is good, but for small children there is little choice. They spent time swimming in the pools, visiting the children's room, while the wife went for a Thai massage. It is far from the sea, on foot about 15 minutes, in the early morning you can take a free tuk tuk or by bus from 10 am. I really liked Kata Beach. Beautiful blue sea with colorful fish, fine white sand, smooth sunset, mountains with lush greenery - it's just a fairy tale! I would definitely recommend this hotel for families with children!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Kata Sea Breeze Hotel, Kata Beach, Phuket. Check-in was a little slow, but we got an excellent room, with access to the pool. I must say that the hotel is brand new and the environment is very beautiful. The room has comfortable beds, a TV with Russian channels, a safe. Cleaning daily. In general, the staff is friendly and treats guests well.
The only inconvenience was the poor quality of the Internet. The rooms have paid wi-fi, but it is a bit expensive. Local 3G will be cheaper, but then stock up on a second phone.
The food is varied, but not for everyone, this is Thailand. Better and less expensive food in nearby cafes. Nearby is a Russian restaurant, if anyone is not satisfied with spicy food. You can have a good rest in the hotel: there is a spa with Thai massage, and as many as 4 pools. We went straight from the room to the pool, very convenient.
Walk 10 minutes to the beach. We fell in love with him! There are no nightclubs or bars here, but everything is very well done for a relaxing holiday. Lots of sunbeds and umbrellas, only they are paid. You will also have to pay for a shower and a toilet, but here, once you don’t have to, you might get lucky. The nature here is gorgeous: the sea is azure, around are small mountains covered with greenery. The sand is fine and soft. One of the few entertainments on the beach is jet skis.
There is little entertainment near the hotel, mostly they offer to go shopping. So, in order not to be bored, think in advance what you will do here. The hotel is good, it is quiet, there is no big crowd of people, although there are enough tourists. You can relax here for couples and families.

It was the first time in Thailand. I liked the hotel, to be honest, I did not even expect this from the 3+ category. The territory of the hotel is quite spacious, very green and well-groomed. There are 4-5 pools on the territory of the hotel, I don’t know the exact number, because. we did not swim in them, there are umbrellas and sun loungers for relaxation. There is a jacuzzi, there is a children's pool. For children: a playroom, a sandbox, a swimming pool, my son liked to work out in the gym. The hotel provides beach towels, you can change them at least every day. There are also several bars where you can have a bite: drinks, fruits, burgers, pasta. The hotel has 5 buildings, we lived in the 4th building. The room is large and spacious, there is a mini-bar (paid), a refrigerator with a freezer, a kettle plus tea accessories (tea, coffee, sugar for free). In the bathroom there are 2 glass bottles of 0.5 l with clean drinking water, which are changed every day. Bottles do not need to be thrown away after you drink water from them. There is a hairdryer, TV, large double bed, air conditioning. There are hangers, umbrellas, slates in the closet and there is also a safe. Shampoo, shower gel, soap, cotton pads, shower cap are reported every day. The rooms were cleaned for 5 +. Upon arrival at the hotel, you will need to leave a deposit of $ 100. When leaving the hotel, they will be returned to you, provided that you do not use their mini-bar, do not break or lose anything))). If you suddenly leave a towel somewhere, then they have golden ones, a fine of $ 100. But it’s very good that our tour agent Dmitry Kukin warned us about all the little things in advance, from whom we bought the tour. It was the first time we contacted him, but we were very satisfied with the service. You can find it very simply, by name and surname in the search for friends on the VKontakte social network. It took about twenty minutes to choose a hotel. Gave a lot of recommendations at the expense of which we saved a lot. The food is good, everything is fresh and tasty. The only thing I didn't like was the taste of tea and coffee. For breakfast you can choose eggs (hard boiled, fried 2 types, scrambled eggs with ham, onions and tomatoes). Yoghurt 2 types, flakes 4 types, nuts, seeds, banana chips. Rice is simple, with vegetables, potatoes, baked vegetables. Noodles with vegetables, soups. Chicken sausages, ham, bacon, cheese. Fruits: bananas, watermelon, pineapple, papaya. Bread for toast, loaf, gray bread with raisins and seeds. From pastries there were pancakes, croissants, small buns with raisins or cream. Butter, jam, honey. I want to immediately draw your attention to the fact that if you arrive early in the morning, then breakfast is not included that day. Wi-Fi is free only at the reception, and not always with a good speed, they bought internet for 89 baht for a week. To Kata beach on foot 7-10 minutes, from the hotel to the left and to a large crossroads with elephants and to the right. It takes 20-25 minutes to walk to Karon Beach, from the hotel to the right and everything is straight. It takes 25 minutes to walk to Kata Noi beach, but the road is not convenient, it is better to take a taxi. This is the cleanest and less crowded beach, the entry into the sea is more gentle. Near the hotel there are several exchange offices, cafes, shops. I did massage 3 times in different places, including in the hotel itself, I didn’t like it, pure stroking. I can definitely recommend the hotel, you will not regret it, we were all satisfied with the rest and service.

We are two adults and a child 2.8 child delighted.!!! We liked everything. When checking in, someone gave $ 100, but we gave 3,000 rubles. When we checked out, we got our money back. Everything in the room worked! refrigerator, safe, faucet, light. there will be drinks in the fridge (beer, water, juices, something sweet) and they are paid. The price is 3 times more expensive than in the store ... There will be 2 glass bottles of water in the room and you can only drink this for free, but don’t throw away the bottles (otherwise you will pay 10 times more expensive) they will be taken away and exchanged for full water. The breakfast is good and there is always enough for everyone. Mango fruits, pineapples, watermelon, bananas, rice porridges, various boiled pasta and pasta with seafood, 2 types of soups, croutons, toasters, butter, 3 types of sauces, salads, red cabbage, white cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, yogurts , maybe even forgot ... In general, there are no problems with food, but these are only breakfasts. Cleaned every day in the room and even without a tip. Changed towels and bed linen. The hotel itself is not new but well looked after. The pools were clean and cleaned every day. I advise you to take mosquitoes with you on vacation, in the evening there are a lot of them near the pools. We went on excursions and enjoyed it very much.
1. Elephant Ride Phuket
2. Excursion "James Bond Island" Phuket
3. Excursion to Khao Lak 1 day from Phuket
4. Siam Niramit Phuket show
5. Panoramic show with crocodiles, temples (I don’t remember the names)
6. Big Buda
Excursions were taken from the guide Julia, she is a very unpleasant woman, she wanted to deceive us from the child, she took money for the excursion, in general, she returned it. Be careful!
At first we ate in restaurants, we didn’t really try food in macaroons. There are a lot of shops and restaurants outside the territory, I advise you to eat at the Sunflower restaurant, it is 300 meters from the hotel to the left, there is a Russian menu and it is very tasty and the prices are reasonable. Within 15 days it rained only 2 times. The course baht 1 - 2 rubles. I can say that we went not cheap and spent $1,000. and + Russian rubles. We went by tuktuk 400-500 baht. We went to Karon, Kata Noi, Patong,
I liked the rest very much! It’s not enough for me to write everything and describe everything in a day. I took washing powder with me and it was very useful to us !!

Although we had rested in Thailand before, but in such an excellent hotel for the first time. The hotel is listed as, where 3, where 4, depending on the tour operator and sites, in my opinion this is a solid four. We arrived in the morning at about 9, reached the hotel in an hour. Check-in in most cases at 14, but our room was free, and we received the key to it as soon as we filled out all the papers. Deposit $ 100, but you can also in baht. I’ll run ahead and say that during the eviction with the return of the deposit there were no problems. We booked aqua pura room with direct access to the pool, we often choose this type of room. They are in buildings B and E. Building E was built later, and we were settled in it. Although the building is farthest from the lobby, it is quieter and our pool seemed cleaner to us. The room is spacious for three, there was enough space for things. Sometimes there is a possibility that dampness will be present in such rooms, but in this hotel it was not felt. Great bathroom with a shower and a bathtub itself, so that it would be convenient to bathe the child. By the way, you don’t need to bring shampoos and stuff with you, everything is in the rooms, at least in ours they always were. There are flip flops and umbrellas in the closet, a free safe, and the internet only in the lobby is free, but the speed is good. They bring two bottles of water and a coffee-tea set every day, beach towels need to be thrown on the floor in the room, then they will be changed to clean ones. The room is cleaned daily, without much diligence, but wet. The territory is generally super, you will not often find a hotel of this category with such a large and beautiful territory. Several pools for adults and children even include a Jacuzzi. When our travel agent suggested this hotel to us, we agreed immediately. Thanks to him for such a good choice, and for the speed, because the hotel itself was booked almost before departure. And most importantly, the service is excellent, in addition to the fact that the price turned out to be low, taking into account recent incidents, even lower than the cost of the tour operator, and even they could contact him with any question during the holidays, when contacting and asking something from the tour operator always causes difficulties. You can find it very simply, by name in the search for friends on the VKontakte social network, we use his services not for the first time, and we advise our friends. If we talk about hotel service, it is also on top. The hotel has a shuttle bass to the beach for free from 10.30 to 14.00, we went only a couple of times, mostly we walked, it was nice to take a walk. Walk for a maximum of 15 minutes slowly with the child. This is before Kata. You can walk or drive to Kata-noi, I highly recommend it. The beach is gorgeous, not big, the sand is white, and there are almost no people. Kata itself is the most for children's recreation. The entrance to the water is gentle, the child swims perfectly. The hotel also has entertainment for children. A good kids club, and even films with cartoons in the open air in the evenings, it was not boring. I advise you to take only breakfast at the hotel, because all establishments open around 11, you don’t have to eat before, but dinner and lunch at the hotel itself is more expensive, better in a cafe. The breakfasts are excellent, the choice of dishes is good and everything is always fresh, it is not difficult to have breakfast with a child. Fruits, yoghurts and pastries are just super, the rest is standard, and even that is delicious. I can safely recommend the hotel for any vacation, there is a place and the location of the hotel is excellent, we were very satisfied.

This is not the first time we have a rest in Thailand, but somehow this hotel was overlooked from our attention. And the best in this price category, we have not seen. We will definitely come back here next year.… More ▾ This is not the first time we have a rest in Thailand, but somehow this hotel was overlooked from our attention. And the best in this price category, we have not seen. We will definitely come back here next year. Therefore, I decided to write this review and support the hotel. We always rested either on Katya or on Karon, of course, we visited other beaches, but we consider these two to be the best. Well, it makes no sense to write more about the beach, so there is a lot of information) As usual, I took breakfast, I don’t see any sense in taking a different type of food in hotels on these beaches, everything is within walking distance. The choice of various cafes and restaurants is very large. Where it is more expensive where it is cheaper, but especially in terms of prices it does not differ very much. Again, depending on what to eat and of course between the restaurant and the cafe, the price will also be very different. Sometimes we buy food from macaques, there have never been any consequences. Yes, and have not heard of this. Food at the hotel is adapted to Europeans less spicy dishes than in some cafes on the street. A fairly large variety and even the options for dishes change, although not much. This is certainly not a breakfast in the Turkish four, but still not bad. Another plus is that there are two swimming pools and a lot of greenery on the territory. One of the pools even has a jacuzzi. And the pools are clean, you can’t hear the bleach, maybe some other cleaning agent is used. The hotel even has a small gym, everything is in working order but far from new. In the evenings, a movie is played on a projector for guests, in general, excellent conditions for the money. For the first time we bought a tour from a tour agent and not directly from the operator and it turned out cheaper. Another distinctive advantage of this hotel is that you can rent a bike right at the hotel and parking is free. And right next to the hotel there are tuk tuks. The only drawback is a deposit of one hundred dollars is taken upon arrival, everything is returned to the penny or can be spent at the hotel. Well, another plus is the presence of Russian-speaking staff at the reception, and even so, some employees understand our language. All in all, I highly recommend and give it 5 stars!

Nice cozy hotel. In general, everyone liked the hotel for its value is very good. We read reviews of other hotels in the same price range and this one was the best.… More ▾ Nice cozy hotel. In general, everyone liked the hotel for its value is very good. We read reviews of other hotels in the same price range and this one was the best. Main advantages. A good well-groomed territory has four pools, one where mostly families with children there is noise and din all day long and there are two more calm ones and one very small one. So that with children and couples, everyone will be comfortable in their own corner) Immediately, the moment when we rested, we were a little honored by the shortage of staff. For example, drinks by the pool from the bar carried five minutes. Although there were no delays in the restaurant. The Internet is only in the lobby on the territory and in the rooms does not catch, but it is free in the lobby. It's nice that in the evenings they play cartoons for children and films for adults. You get some variety in your vacation. Also, swimming in the pool is not prohibited even at night. The territory is very clean and all the greenery is well-groomed. And the location of the entire infrastructure of the hotel is quite well thought out. In addition, the hotel is well located. To the sea if you walk it is about ten minutes. If you don’t want to take a walk, then there is a free shuttle from the hotel to the beach. They start driving after nine in the morning. On the way to the sea, there are plenty of places to eat, buy fruits, etc. We liked two cafes, this is Veranda and I still don’t remember the name in the corner. At the hotel, we had breakfast included, but there is a rather modest choice for a week, nothing really changes. In general, we don’t normally do such breakfasts at home) But as for a hotel, we expected more choice. But buying a tour at a cost, they went out for free. Since for some reason, if you take it without them, it came out more expensive. We also thank all the staff of the hotel. Very nice people. Cleaning is always good, they will always help and no one is chasing tips. We had a very good rest and swam visited several excursions. Had a wonderful vacation!
Thailand is by far the most popular Asian resort among domestic vacationers. Tourist infrastructure, including on about. Phuket, in this country is developed just fine. You can rent inexpensive comfortable accommodation in Thailand without any problems. For example, some Russian operators work with a very good hotel Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3*. This large complex deserves good reviews from vacationers.
Location features
This hotel is located in the resort area of Kata, about 300 meters from the beach of the same name. From all sides the hotel is surrounded by picturesque hills.
Phuket Airport is approximately 46 km from the hotel. It will take about 55 minutes to get there by the tour operator's bus. Quite close to the Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * complex is the resort area of Patong, popular with tourists. The hotel guests can reach it in just 15 minutes.
General information about the hotel
The Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * hotel was built (its photo is presented on the page) was in 2001. However, the furniture in its rooms and household appliances are installed, judging by the reviews of tourists, they are not at all old. The last reconstruction here was carried out not so long ago - in 2015. In addition, some buildings were added to the hotel only in 2013 (D, E).
Unlike many other three-star hotels in Thailand, Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * (Phuket) also has its own territory. The courtyard of the hotel looks very attractive, according to many vacationers. The hotel staff clean the area quite often. At the same time, quite a lot of tropical greenery is planted here. Palm trees grow on the territory of the hotel, lawns are broken, flower beds are planted.
The reception at this hotel, like in many others in Phuket, is open around the clock. Upon check-in, tourists are charged a deposit of 3,000 baht. After leaving the room, this money is returned to the guests in full (if no violations are found during the check of the room).
Unfortunately, it is not possible to live with pets in this hotel even by prior arrangement with the administration. Guests are allowed to smoke on the balcony. For some tourists, this feature of the hotel is a plus. Others complain that the smoke from the balconies gets into their rooms.
Another feature of the hotel is that the administration here necessarily congratulates all birthdays and newlyweds. The first to bring a cake, the second to decorate the bed in a special way. Tourists consider the 5th the quietest building in the hotel. From the territory of the 7th building you can see one of the most popular sights of Phuket - the Big Buddha.
Rooms
In total, the hotel Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * (Phuket) rents 330 rooms of different price categories. Most of the hotel rooms have an area of 44 m 2 . The hotel also has rooms for 52 and 88 m2.

Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * (Phuket): reviews of tourists about the rooms rented out at the hotel
The opinion about the rooms of the complex among its residents was very good. In particular, good reviews of the hotel room from the guests deserved for cleanliness and a rather large area. The maids in the hotel rooms are cleaned often and carefully. Bed linen is always clean and ironed.
The floors in the hotel rooms are tiled. The maids periodically wipe it with a damp cloth. And so the hotel guests do not have to breathe dust. Towels in this complex are changed by the maids, unfortunately, not very willingly. As many tourists say, in order to bring new ones, the old ones must be thrown on the floor.
Some of the drawbacks of the hotel, many tourists believe that here the guests are not given bathrobes and slippers. But residents are offered two bottles of mineral water every day absolutely free of charge. All household appliances, including air conditioners, in the hotel, judging by the reviews, work quite well.
Showers in this complex, according to tourists, are also quite comfortable. In addition to a set of toiletries (including soap and shampoo), guests can also use a hairdryer here. For Thailand, the presence of this accessory is a rather important condition. The climate in this resort is very humid. And so the hair after the shower dry for a long time.
Among the advantages of the hotel rooms, many guests, among other things, include the presence of one Russian-language TV channel. In the evenings, residents have the opportunity to watch some interesting program.
Infrastructure
Since the Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * hotel, reviews of which are indeed mostly positive, belongs to the three-star category, many amenities are also provided for guests on its territory. For example, residents of the complex can visit a billiard room or a library. This hotel also has its own spa. Here guests are offered a wide range of health and beauty treatments. Of course, in the SPA center of the complex you can also visit a session of Thai massage.
Many Russian tourists rent a car in Phuket for the convenience of moving around the island. Guests of the Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * can do it right on its territory. Also, the staff of this hotel is always ready to help residents with booking plane tickets. In addition, an airport transfer can be booked directly at the hotel.
Of course, this three-star hotel also has its own laundry. For a fee, residents can wash soiled clothes on modern machines. Guests who rented rooms on the upper floors do not need to climb the stairs. The hotel also has elevators.
In order to purchase souvenirs reminiscent of a trip to Thailand, hotel residents do not have to go to the market. In the complex, among other things, there is also a shop selling all sorts of beautiful knick-knacks.
Reviews of tourists about the infrastructure of the hotel
Vacationers have a very good opinion about the Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * complex (Thailand, Phuket). The level of service here, according to many tourists, even corresponds to the European one. Guests at the hotel are treated kindly. Many vacationers dream of returning to this hotel again. In the ratings of hotels, this complex usually scores 4-5 points out of five possible.
Previously, in this hotel, according to the stories of its former guests, mostly only Russians and Chinese rested. Now the hotel is home to many tourists and other nationalities. Therefore, recently the complex has become less noisy, because there are fewer Asian vacationers in it now.
There are several pools in this hotel. And all of them, of course, are very comfortable for swimming. This fact is noted by many former guests of the hotel. There are plenty of sunbeds by the pools. Enough of them usually for all tenants. The only sunbeds located in the shade are desirable to occupy in the morning.
Unfortunately, only one girl speaks Russian at the reception. But English is understood by all hotel administrators. Therefore, vacationers can solve any problems associated with staying at a hotel quite quickly. There are not too good only about hotel guides Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * reviews of tourists. These hotel employees sometimes perform their duties not particularly willingly. In addition, from time to time the guides also behave a little intrusively.
Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * (Phuket): negative reviews
In general, the opinion of vacationers about this hotel is positive. Many tourists believe that it is just perfect for families, as well as individually or with friends. But, of course, this hotel also has some disadvantages. Mostly negative reviews of tourists relate to building D of the hotel. The windows of the rooms here open onto the garden. Residents, of course, can admire quite attractive views. However, the garden trees near the building are planted too densely, so it can be quite dark in the rooms here. Many tourists believe that this somewhat spoils the feeling of vacation.
Also, building D does not have sun loungers for the pool. Therefore, residents have to look for them literally throughout the territory. In the mornings, tourists who have rented rooms in building D may also be disturbed by their singing birds from the garden. They start their "concert" at 5 o'clock. Their voices are very loud. In addition, the cleaners in this building also often carry rattling carts along the corridor.
Some of the tourists consider the fact that a large number of children live in it to be some disadvantage of the hotel. The little guests are leading themselves, of course, not too quietly.
The disadvantages of this hotel, tourists include the fact that here they can present guests with an invoice for the bar when checking out. Moreover, this happens sometimes even in cases where the tenants did not use it. Therefore, experienced vacationers advise beginners to specifically transfer the contents of the bar to the checking employee upon departure. This will help you avoid misunderstandings.
Services for children
Many tourists come to the Kata Sea Breeze Resort 3 * (Phuket), as already mentioned, with their whole families. For children, this hotel also provides many facilities. For example, parents can take their child to the mini-club. The hotel also has a children's room and a playground. Of course, there is also a paddling pool in this hotel, in which little guests can splash around. The complex's restaurant has special highchairs for children. If parents want to have fun in the evening, they can leave the child with an experienced nanny. This service at the hotel is not particularly expensive - about 300 baht per hour. After 22:00, guests who decide to hire a nanny will be charged an additional 500 baht one-time.
Great place to stay on Kata beach.FLIGHT
We were traveling with a 9 year old child. Round trip by Rossiya airline on Boeing-747-400. Everything is right on schedule. Very decent food. Twice per flight hot. Complimentary drinks: water, cola, orange juice. No travel kits (eye masks, slippers/socks, pillows). Online registration is available both in Moscow and Phuket.
HOTEL
SETTLEMENT
The reception staff speaks good English. I did not see the Russian hotel representative upon arrival (however, I did not meet him even once during the whole period). We arrived around 2:30 pm. Done right away and quickly. Deposit 100$. Upon departure, they returned it exactly in those banknotes that they took away (they are stored in your personal file). Delivered the suitcases to the room. The reception is quite spacious, lots of sofas. There is a complimentary lemonade that was refilled daily with a variety of iced teas made from local flowers. There are luggage scales. There is an ATM in the lobby, we didn't use it.
On the eve of arrival, I wrote to the hotel with a wish to settle us in building No. 5. This is a distant building, the newest and quietest. I was told that the hotel is full, but they will note my request, and upon check-in they will try to resolve the issue as much as possible. Upon check-in, we were given a room in the fifth building No. 5511 without a reminder.
INTERNET
Free Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby. Attached is a photo with wiring diagram. We did not use it, but people were constantly present in the lobby, buried in their phones. Upon arrival, representatives of the tour operator issued local SIM cards. The cards initially have a non-zero balance. You can talk with Russia for about three minutes and, in addition, during the day of arrival, free Internet traffic in instant messengers.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we replenished the balance at 7-eleven by choosing the most capacious tariff in terms of volume: 550 baht for 15 days, which includes 8Gb of very fast internet and 50 baht for calls. In case of overexpenditure of traffic, the Internet is not turned off, but the speed limit begins to operate. The Internet can be distributed to other devices without restrictions.
All the establishments we visited had free Wi-Fi.
NUMBER
The room is spacious and bright. Furniture, decoration, plumbing fresh and in good condition.
In the room: individual air conditioning, free safe, kettle, refrigerator, telephone, TV with one Russian channel (Russia), two pairs of slates, two umbrellas, an ashtray on the balcony (no smoking in the rooms), glass glasses, mugs, teaspoons.
The key to the lock is on one sealed ring with the key to the air conditioner. Our ring was detachable. It was convenient to leave the child to sleep in an air-conditioned room early in the morning while we went to the sea before breakfast.
What came in handy from what we took with us from home: a normal knife, a couple of spoons and forks, a cutting board, several plastic plates - it was nice to cut fruit, put it like a human being.
ROOM SERVICE
Cleaning daily, normal (no fanaticism, but no complaints). Daily replacement of shampoos/gels, provision of 0.5 liters of water in glass bottles per person. Towels (shower and beach) are changed if they are placed on the floor. Bed linen is changed if a special green sign is placed on the bed (in different languages it says a request to change bed linen). Also, complement tea, coffee, sugar, dry wipes.
Fines are provided for damaged furniture, broken/stolen dishes. The child pushed at night from the nightstand and broke the glass. A day later they brought to the room a receipt for payment of 100 baht. We went to the reception, paid in advance, so that later they would not deduct from the deposit.
TERRITORY
The territory is elongated, limited at the edges by buildings. Very spacious, cozy, green, well-groomed. Everything is thought out. Several bars, swimming pools in excess, plenty of sunbeds, toilets, showers in different places. There are many beautiful figurines and corners around the territory where you can take good photos (there is a map of the territory in the photo).
There were no mosquitoes/mosquitoes. They took a fumigator - it was not useful. Perhaps just lucky.
Daily water sampling in pools.
VIEW FROM THE BALCONY
The balconies are located with views inside the hotel. There is no sea view anywhere, but some buildings offer a beautiful view of the mountains, the Big Buddha.
FOOD
Main meals in the main (and only) restaurant. The area is large according to the open-air type, divided into several zones (furniture of different sizes and styles and different decorations). There is a completely open veranda. Breakfast from 6:30 to 10:30. If you linger, no one will be impatient.
Containers with food and fruits replenish without delay. I was especially pleased that they do this until the very end of breakfast. Dishes and cutlery are of good quality, clean and plentiful. Tables are cleaned slowly, but there are places at any time. If you need to set an empty table, it is better to do it yourself, without waiting for the staff, in two places in the hall there are plastic boxes with cutlery and table napkins.
The food is beyond praise and it makes no sense to describe it in detail. Of the hotels we visited in Phuket, this time was the best. Diverse and for every taste - European and Asian dishes. Maybe a little too little meat, but this is a common feature of Tai and was compensated by a large selection of local dishes. Delicious soup, like Vietnamese Pho-Bo. Very tasty yogurt - we all got hooked on it. Fruits - pineapples, watermelons. Sometimes papaya and dragon fruit.
We have always had a problem to feed a child in Thailand. But this time, he ate right away to our relief (cereals, pancakes with honey, sausages, pasta, yogurt went with a bang).
ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORT
There is no centralized animation.
On the territory there is a mini-football, a billiard table on the street under a canopy, a gym (I was pleased with the presence of the minimum necessary set of properly working simulators, good air conditioning, the presence of towels), a children's mini playground with a sandbox, a kids club (people were always present there), two bar open and one in the lobby.
A cartoon and a film (in English) were broadcast every evening. The projector is aimed directly at the wall of one of the buildings in front of the restaurant. Spectators sit on stuffed bags on the grass. Cosy.
On Fridays, the hotel has theme nights: market + food. Tables are set up on the lawns where they sell souvenirs and immediately prepare street food: kebabs, pad thai, grilled shrimp, etc. Cocktails are mixed right there. Street prices.
Tuesday evenings at the BBQ restaurant. Prices are usual restaurant, as in neighboring establishments.
There are a couple of shops at the hotel, we did not visit.
You can rent a bike at the hotel. At the hotel, rent per day costs 300 baht without additional security deposit. If you take a few days, you can bargain. The contract includes only health insurance. All costs associated with damage or theft of the bike are not included in the insurance. It's a common rule: the rental agreement in the hotel and on the street are the same template (the photo shows the agreement from the hotel).
STAFF AND GUESTS OF THE HOTEL
The staff is friendly and professional. I did not meet Russian speakers. English is acceptable only at the reception and distributing bikes. And in the restaurant, and with the cleaners, and with everyone else, you will have to explain yourself on the fingers. But it's not a problem.
The guests of the hotel, in my opinion, were divided in the ratio of 50% Russians and 50% all the rest (Germans, Danes, South African sheep, Australians, etc.).
AROUND THE HOTEL
The hotel is very well located.
BEACHES
Kata Beach (10 minutes slowly) near the main entrance is very clean and well maintained. Since it gets dark quite early (at 19:00 it's already dark), cleaning is done in the morning, after 7 o'clock. We did not use sun loungers and umbrellas, but, as I noticed, there were no problems with them.
The more to the right (if you look at the sea), the more deserted and less well-groomed the beach is (this does not mean that it is neglected, just less well-groomed).
The only toilet (10 baht) and shower (20 baht) are located at the entrance to the beach. If you need to rinse with fresh water, you can pretend that you cannot read and enter the hotel (7 elephants) from the beach along the stairs. There is a large container with fresh water and a ladle.
Kata Noi beach is not crowded. Very scenic and very undulating. On foot, the road will be mastered by very stubborn ones. 200 baht on a tuk tuk. We rode a bike.
Karon beach. This year we were bitten in the sea (plankton). And yes, it is very noticeable. This was not the case last year. In terms of distance and fare, it is similar to Kata Noi. The only thing, it can be noted, is Dino Park a little before reaching Karon. Our child has already grown up, but with small children you can drop by on the road.
The sea is clean and very warm everywhere. It makes no sense to write about waves. This is not necessary once in a while. This time, Karon was quieter, and Katya was worried. Only Kata Noi, as always, excites steadily.
RESTAURANTS
There are many of them around the hotel for every taste and budget.
Many write about County house (to the right of the hotel). We didn't appreciate the quality of the food, the choice, or the price tag. I won’t say anything bad, I’m just not impressed and it’s not worth so many reviews. However, there were always people there at lunchtime and in the evening. Mostly Russians.
Most often we visited Coconut and Veranda (to the left of the hotel on the road closer to the beach). These establishments suited both us and the child. In Veranda, the child appreciated dumplings (fried or boiled for 100 baht), spaghetti (namely, simple spaghetti with cheese, not pasta, flavored with the fact that the child does not eat). In Coconut, the child got hooked on pizza (255 baht). The pizza is big (but the kid managed to eat it whole) and really tasty. You could order pizza halves with different toppings. In both establishments, perch was 200 baht. Such prices could only be found at street cooks. Basically, prices in restaurants for perch are 300-400 baht.
It makes no sense to describe the local food. We are big fans of Asian food. If you do not like local food, then you lose half of what you go to Tai for.
THE SHOPS
Family mart and 7-eleven are located on both sides of the hotel. The closest to the right (7-eleven). Family mart is slightly more expensive, but there is no time limit for selling alcohol. At 7-eleven, the restriction is from 14:00 to 17:00. Strong drinks cost the same in all stores. Local whiskey 0.7 - 256 baht. Rum 0.7 - 302 baht.
MICROMARKETS
They are everywhere. Yellow mango depending on maturity 40, 50, 60 baht. Greens 70. Passion fruit 80, 100. Mangosteen 50, 60, 70. At your request, everything will be cleaned, cut, and given sticks.
NIGHT MARKET
To the right of the hotel. Souvenirs and clothes are sold in the morning. And the food is cooked in the evening. A must to visit. Everyone will get their own experience.
BIKE RENTALS
On the street day 200 baht. If for a longer period - you can bargain. They don't ask for documents. Deposit 100$. The contract is similar to that in the hotel. Helmets included.
The most common bike is the Honda Click 125i (pictured). Automatic transmission, very economical. Just in case, it is better to photograph it from all sides. You never know.
Bikes are in different condition.
We took to the right of the hotel, not reaching the first crossroads. On the corner is a desk with a big TATOO sign. There bikes are fresher and gasoline is cheaper (30 baht a bottle). In general, along the coast for a bottle of prices 30, 40, 50 baht.
REST
We were lucky with the weather. It rained only twice in two weeks (from April 20 to May 5).
For the second year we order excursions via the Internet in the same office. It is possible both with your tour operator and with a hotel one, but it will be much more expensive. They will also carry you in a crowd of 40 people. The Thais are all right with the laws, you can safely buy on the street and not worry.
Tour operator Biblio-Globus. As always, the meeting, transfer and fees are well organized. Otherwise, we didn't cross paths anymore for the whole holiday.
CONCLUSION
The hotel is wonderful in every way. The best treshka in Phuket that we have visited. The holiday was a success, and there was not a single moment that we noted as negative.
