Room #443.
Check-in: 5.
Fast, no queues. The reception staff were not aware of the preliminary requests sent earlier by email and confirmed by a return letter from the hotel. At first they wanted to give a "Twin" instead of a "King-Size Bed", but in the end they did everything as required and gave the correct number.
With a fully paid room, they take a deposit for 8 nights in the amount of 100 USD in any currency (for extras).
Room: 5.
Stylish, spacious and quite modern.
Large and comfortable bed, sleeps well.
There is no single switch to turn off all the lights before going to bed - you have to turn them all off one by one.
A balcony with 2 chairs, a table and a clothes dryer. The balcony has a beautiful view of the pool.
The safe is the right size - a laptop fits comfortably.
A stocked minibar.
Free drinking water in large quantities.
There is no beach bag (unlike, for example, Avani Chaweng Samui).
Bathroom: 5.
Despite the fact that some details in the bathroom give away the age of the hotel, overall the bathroom is also in acceptable condition. Good lighting, European socket, hygienic shower. Good cosmetics Malin + Goetz (not in small bottles, but normal bottles) - standard for Avani hotels.
There are already quite worn towels - it's time to get rid of them (see photo).
Room cleaning: 5-.
They clean normally, but not perfectly.
I used the laundry - they do it quickly, efficiently and generally inexpensively.
WiFi: 5.
On the first day, for some reason, I couldn't connect from either my phone or laptop, but from the next day everything was fine - good speed, good coverage throughout the hotel, including the pool area.
Breakfast: 5+.
Impressive breakfasts, a huge selection - almost at the level of the Four Seasons in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. Lots of hot and cold dishes for every taste, fruits, fresh juices (including mixes), desserts.
There is always a choice of free tables inside and outside.
Swimming pool: 5-.
A nice big swimming pool. But a significant part of the pool and sun loungers is in the shade of the building.
There are not many free sun loungers, but you can still find one at any time. Some sun loungers are without mattresses, hard and not very comfortable.
You can call a waiter by pressing the button for the sun lounger.
A bar with delicious cocktails. The cost of a cocktail is 330 THB (1000 RUB).
Towels are freely available without restrictions. At the exit to the beach, they give out separate towels especially for the beach.
At a separate counter by the pool, you can always pour cold water with lemon and even take sunscreen. You can also take cream from the bar counter. I love when hotels pay attention to such little things - for a hotel, the costs for water and sunscreen are insignificant, but guests immediately feel the attention and care.
Location: 5+.
Excellent location on a busy embankment, there is a separate exit to the beach (to the embankment).
Restaurants, bars, shops, exchange offices, spas / massage parlors - everything is within walking distance. There are a lot of exchange offices on the embankment, and the rate there is good - almost the same as in Bangkok. Of the spas, I liked RINN Spa (try Hot Stone Aromatic Oil Massage). Of the bars, I liked Horizon on the roof of the Hilton (if you go at six o'clock, be sure to make a reservation) and Skybar on the roof of the Siam@Siam Hotel (from 18:00 to 19:00 there is Happy Hour). Of the restaurants on the embankment, I recommend the good Beer Hubb.
Transfer from BKK airport will take 1.5 hours and will cost 1000 THB (3000 RUB) - I can recommend, for example, cherrytaxiservice or mikepattayataxi.
