Unfortunately there is no shuttle to the beach. We were aware the Patong beach was a good distance from the resort, but there are no sidewalks to get there. Just a steady stream of scooters and mass traffic. Simply put, attempting to walk there is taking your life in your hands. Expect to budget $40-$50 Cdn for transportation to and from hotel to beach area per day. The WiFi is akin to dial up modems of 20 years ago. Couldn’t stream Prime music, let alone videos. It constantly had to be reconnected. Extremely frustrating to say the least. Want entertainment? Good luck. You get BBC and one English Channel on the TV. The reception is slightly better than “rabbit ears antennas” from the 60’s. The picture was completely snowy and migraine inducing. Want fresh brewed coffee? Wishful thinking. Instant freeze dried is on the menu. Like to dry your hands at the kitchen sink? Sorry, there is an apparent shortage of dish clothes and paper towel at the “resort”. Care to wash your face in the bathroom? Bring your own face clothes.You seriously get two bath towels. That’s it. No hand or face towels. Care to walk in bare feet? Better have leather skin.The decking has to be original and nails were popping up in places and the planks are warping. Want a glass of wine on the bar deck? 400baht plus tax and service charge buys you an under poured mediocre red in a dirty glass. Simply put, think twice. Staff was great.Tried to make us happy.
