Housing stock
The rooms of this hotel, our compatriots, judging by their comments, were mostly satisfied. So, according to them, the apartments here are quite spacious, pleasantly decorated, comfortable and bright. All rooms have a beautiful view.

As for the equipment of the rooms, then, as guests note, there is everything you need here. Furniture and appliances are in good condition, everything works without interruption. If some kind of breakdown occurs, then after notifying the administrator at the reception, the problem will be fixed as soon as possible. As a plus, guests note large and very comfortable beds, high-quality linens without any stains (which is sometimes found in other hotels), the availability in the rooms of a free electronic safe and a full set of personal hygiene products (ear sticks, shower caps , gel for soul, soap, shampoo, etc.). In addition, tourists liked that the bathroom has both a shower and a bath. As for the shortcomings, many travelers noted that they would like to be able to use the wireless Internet in the apartments. Now free Wi-Fi at the hotel is available only at the reception.
Cleaning
This is not to say that this item fully satisfied all Russian tourists. However, according to them, they saw nothing wrong with that. So, as our compatriots note, the maids at Chanalai Flora Resort 4 * (Thailand, Phuket, Kata Beach) do not always do their job well. So, according to the guests, the floors in the rooms were not washed every day. In addition, maids often forgot to replenish supplies of bath accessories and change towels. By the way, former guests are advised to throw used towels on the floor. Otherwise, the maids will simply stack them, even though they may be wet. However, bed linen was changed a couple of times a week. Guests of the hotel have no complaints about this point. If you find that the maid forgot to bring something to you, then tell her directly (if you meet her) or inform the reception.
Check in, departure
Our compatriots considered the fact that even in case of an early arrival at the Canalai Flora Resort, in most cases, they will give you the room keys almost immediately. So tourists will not need to wait a few hours to check in. As for the day of departure, you should leave the occupied apartments before noon. At the same time, if your departure from the hotel is planned only in the evening, you can extend the room for an additional fee or leave things for storage in the luggage room and continue your rest.
