My favorite hotel! Intimate, clean, with incredibly caring staff, wonderful chef (dishes of both Thai and European cuisine are very tasty). The hotel is located on a mountain, but this is a plus: the air temperature is lower in the mountains, there is no noise or burning from the main roads, you can walk to the big Buddha (all 1 km vertically upwards), takes 40 minutes. And there is yoga at the hotel, you can join in.
The hotel is located at an altitude, at the foot of the mountain, on which there is a statue of the Great Buddha.There is a jungle around, there are few buildings, in my opinion this is good, because I love nature and silence.
Unfortunately, a new hotel or some other building was being built opposite on our arrival, but they only made noise during the day when we were on the beach and on the road.
There are a lot of pale brown geckos, they crawl on the ceilings and walls there.A funny hotel dog who came to our room one day because we didn't close the door.
The architecture of the hotel is not complicated, climbing the entrance stairs you will see a reception area with a swimming pool to your left, the pool is the center of the hotel, rooms 2-3 floors high are built around it, on three sides.The fourth side is occupied by the reception.Behind the Reception there is a kitchen with a dining room.The staff was friendly and understood English.The nearest Kata beach can be reached on foot in 15-20 minutes of a leisurely walk, but I would still advise you to get to Karon, I paid 300 baht for tuk tuks there, which in my opinion is expensive, it's easier to take a moped for 150 baht per day and leisurely ride with the breeze.
The rooms are clean, there is a balcony, a bathroom with a shower, a safe, a refrigerator with a minibar.
A hotel minibus runs regularly, they call it a shuttle.You need to pre-register for it.
As I understand it, the hotel's feature is yoga.There are two verandas where classes are held regularly.I also saw a man who was engaged in martial arts with a Thai coach.On the upper veranda, at night, it is very good to sit drinking and reading books, looking at the night jungle and the stars.
In the evening and at night, do not ride drunk or with something forbidden, constant raids by the Thai police with searches, flashlights, looking into bags.I got into one too, I forgot my license in the hotel room.I agreed on the spot, for 500 baht.There are no police during the day, there are traffic controllers at most.
P.S. If you leave the hotel and turn right, climb the hill, along the road, and then walk another hundred meters, then on the right you will see an inconspicuous path.This path leads to the Big Buddha, through the jungle.It takes about half an hour to walk, but I highly recommend that you go like this at least once, and you don't have to spend money on travel to the Big Buddha, and this place is a must-visit if you haven't been there, and if you have, you can go again.Coordinates of the trail: 7.831456, 98.304004 Be sure to take a column with you and download the Creedence Clearwater Revival Fortune Son track, put it on when you start making your way through the jungle, gives + 50 to authenticity and the opportunity to see the hooks in the trees :)
Great hotel!
Great hotel! We were a couple in February 2018. Very cozy and small, by itself on a hill and in the greenery, friendly staff, cleanliness in the rooms, good varied breakfasts. The restaurant is open during the day, the prices are above average, but it's worth it, it's delicious! On my wife's birthday, they made a gift - a cake, and sang a song, it was very nice) Taking the hotel's local tuk-tuk to different beaches is exciting and much better than hanging out on one. And it's better to do it in a rented car (I recommend taking cars from Orange car phuket, (enter into Google, we booked directly on the Internet). Booking directly on the website). We traveled and went through everything - the sea is better on one, food and prices are near the other, bars are on the third. So the remote location and transfer to the beaches are only a plus. It was very convenient to walk from the hotel to the Big Buddha (we went alone without a group). Separately about yoga! We are completely delighted with the teachers, I have never studied before, but it was very comfortable in classes for beginners. I wanted to get up at 8 a.m. and run to class. I highly recommend this hotel!
