Guest Tips
- All rooms have a remote control near the bed. It regulates the lighting in the room and the operation of the air conditioner. You can set an alarm on it.
- On the balcony there is a small metal clothes dryer. When you decide to use it, do not forget about clothespins, otherwise your clothes run the risk of being on the balconies of other rooms.
- The hotel is non-smoking, smoke sensors are installed. You can smoke on the balcony, using an ashtray for this, which you need to purchase yourself.
- Every day, 2 bottles of clean water per person are brought to the room. It is free, but it is not recommended to take it out of the room, as this is returnable packaging, and if the maid does not find the bottle, they will charge you a fine.
- You cannot drink tap water at the hotel! Also, be careful when swimming in the pool or the sea, try to prevent water from entering the stomach. Watch carefully for children who accidentally swallow part of the water when bathing. Sewage treatment facilities in Thailand do not work at full strength, even native Thais do not drink such water. Therefore, always have activated eel in the medicine cabinet, as an ambulance leaves for the vacationers only for a very serious case.
- If you store food in your room, you need to do this in the refrigerator, otherwise it will be eaten by ants, which are present in almost all hotels in Thailand.
- Want to exchange currency? Go to the exchanger or ATM. At the reception, the exchange rate is always disadvantageous for tourists.
- Decided to go on excursions? Do not take tours from official representatives at the hotel. Opposite the main entrance there are a large number of local companies that will provide you with the same excursions for little money. And, as tourists assure, the quality of service at such companies is much better than that of official companies.
- The city center can be reached by white tuk-tuk. Its cost is about 20 baht.
- If you decide to stay late in the city until late, it is worth remembering that after 10 p.m. tuk-tuks become taxis and their prices take off several times.
