A stunning hotel, a small but very green area, a good swimming pool, the first coastline, there are rooms in the main buildings of the hotel, there are villas.
Angsana spa is located on the territory of the hotel, a good spa with a "hotel price tag", I really liked the massage, but from experience I can say that Asian networks are much better in terms of interiors, details and organization of space. Overall, the spa is decent, worth a visit.
Very convenient access to the sea, quite gentle, depending on the time of the tides.
Bangtao is a green area with a predominance of coniferous trees along the coastline and palm trees in the rest. As a result, a super cocktail of sea air saturated with coniferous oils for the lungs
To my taste, this is the best area in Phuket for recreation in terms of "well-groomed", cleanliness, and developed infrastructure.
The staff at the hotel is friendly. The hotel is not new, like 97% of all other hotels in Phuket, but you absolutely do not pay attention to it.
We had a rest during the celebration of the Thai New Year, the hotel was "drowned" in orchids, the entrance groups were beautifully decorated.
The breakfasts are normal, everything is fresh, the coffee is decent.
There is a kids' club for children, and a small gym for adults.
Great hotel, I recommend it
The hotel is not bad. On the first line. A good breakfast. Gorgeous Russian guy Ilya. He helps with everything with pleasure. The same cannot be said about the second Russian-speaking lady.
He answers sharply and with mockery. It's unclear why.
What was bad:
The massage tables on the premises are always "occupied", although there is rarely even one person lying there. But, "everything is booked." For a massage, you need to walk along the beach 300 meters to the left. They will always help there. You can't get a cleaner in the room. I called 4 times once. But no one came. We sat without towels or water. Then I had to go and catch it myself.
When checking out at night, I made a check-out in advance from the evening. I paid for everything. A taxi was called. We arrived on time and sat down. But the taxi was not allowed to leave the territory for 10 minutes. "We need to check the minibar." Guys, what kind of minibar? If I have drunk something (no), you can deduct it from my card. You have it. Upon arrival, they took about $ 800 deposit. Well, if not: you have a 10-fold markup on coke and beer! What kind of small talk is this? People need to go to the airport. If that's the principle, at least we'd move faster.
There's a strange story with sun beds. So far we've figured it out, we've lost a couple of days. Beachboys occupy ALL the sun beds with towels. And then they distribute them among the guests themselves.
(For the tip). You come to the beach for the first time: everything is busy. You start thrashing around. It's ugly and uncomfortable. But when they recognize you, they're already occupying a sunbed for you. Many sun beds are occupied by people from outside. Not from the hotel. Which is also inconvenient. There are a lot of people.
The rooms are damp. There is no fan in the bathroom.
But it smells from the drain. I had to cover it with a towel. Mosquitoes. On the ground floor, be careful on the terrace: there are frogs there at night.
We had a bad meal at the Thai restaurant on the premises. We had stomach trouble all night. Although we ate different dishes. Is there something wrong with the cooking oil?
Well, despite the membership and the GOLD card, she did not see the promised 10 percent discount in the final bill, but the minibar was checked for 10 minutes.
