Until quite recently, Phuket was considered a very expensive destination for Russian tourists, associated with a difficult flight and expensive service. Everything has changed today. Thailand, in particular the island of Phuket, is one of the popular tourist destinations. Charters annually bring a large number of guests from cold Russia to this heavenly place.
What makes Thailand attractive?
Southeast Asia is an exotic destination that beckons with its culture, gorgeous beaches and lush vegetation. Pictures with islands from commercials of chocolates with coconut are a well-known commercial technique, but here this dream can come true.
Thailand is attractive not only due to the diversity of flora and fauna, but also due to the hospitality of the country's inhabitants. Thais are nice people, it is very interesting to immerse yourself in their culture and way of life, see the sights, try the local cuisine. All this deservesour attention.
Phuket - the island of dreams come true
Phuket Island - one of the resorts in Thailand, where life is in full swing all year round. In the summer, it is somewhat windy here, so this place becomes a pilgrimage site for surfers. From the window of the 4Sunset Beach Resort hotel, a beautiful view of the bay opens at such a time. You can admire not only sunsets, but also those who decided to conquer the wave.
Phuket is a large island with developed infrastructure. Adults, children, families and young couples will like it here. The climatic zone of the island implies recreation all year round, but due to the winds in the summer, trips to sea excursions are limited. For some vacationers, this information is very important when choosing a destination for tourism.
There is no clear period of the rainy season here. At this time, it can be consistently hot and sunny for quite a long period.
Choosing a hotel in Phuket is not an easy task, because the choice is really great. Awarding stars to hotels in Thailand is very relative. Some hotels of excellent quality and excellent service can be 4. The hotel that is under scrutiny today is Sunset Beach Resort 4(Phuket). Reviews in 2014 about it are good enough to call it worthy and suitable for recreation.

The territory of the complex and the beach
The territory of the 4Sunset Beach Resort is small, well-groomed, you can spend time here with pleasure. There are two outdoor swimming pools for children and adults. Beautifully decorated waterfall, palm trees provide shade. For hotel guests there is a parking lot where you can leave your car or rented bike.
The hotel's beach is the northern part of Patong. This place is not as crowded as the main stretch of the coast, but at the same time quite cozy. Boulders separate it from the main beach of the island. From the hotel, umbrellas and sun loungers are exposed here, where you can enjoy sunbathing.
Also on the territory there is everything a traveler needs: a shop, a restaurant, a bar, a tour desk. For those who decide to go to the center of Patong, to the Jangceylon store or to Bangla Road, where there are bars and discos, as well as tents selling all sorts of things, a round-trip transfer is organized from the 4Sunset Beach Resort hotel. Taxi in Phuket, as well as on other islands, is quite expensive, so thisan additional service attracts many tourists.
Food at the hotel
The hotel complex works on the "Breakfast" system. This system is widespread throughout the country, rare hotels offer "Half Board" or "All Inclusive". This feature is not accidental. Food in Thailand is affordable, cheap, and cafes and restaurants in tourist areas can be found at every turn. You can even eat from macarons (mobile kitchens). In general, it is safe, but Phuket is especially famous for delicious fruits.
Sunset Beach Resort 4 is proud of its restaurant. It offers Thai, European and fresh seafood dishes. The food is always fresh and very tasty. This is confirmed by guest reviews.
The on-site bar serves drinks and light snacks. Breakfast is served as a buffet, the service staff monitors the cleaning of the tables, and also delivers hot drinks to choose from. If you do not want to go down to the restaurant for breakfast, you can order food in the room. This feature also works during the day and dinner.
Guest reviews, pros and cons of the complex
In order to determine how good the Sunset Beach Resort is, reviews are studied, both positive and negative, and only from reliable sources.
Pros of the hotel
Among the pluses, guests note the convenient location of the complex. On the one hand, this is the central part of the tourist center of Phuket, on the other hand, it is a cozy quiet corner away from the noisy nightlife.
Another plus, according to the guests, is the restaurant. The masterpieces of the local chef attract not only the guests of this hotel, but also tourists from all over Patong. Food prices do not bite.
Housekeeping and cleanliness on the territory deserve a solid four. This is a worthy assessment. They also praise the large swimming pool, made in an interesting style and creating an atmosphere of closeness with nature.
Cons of the hotel
In 2003, the complex Sunset Beach Resort 4was built in the north of Patong. Reviews of 2015 suggest that today the question has arisen that it is time to carry out cosmetic repairs in the rooms. This is quite logical, because tourists want to come to the best apartments.
Another problem with the hotel is the small beach. It is called the place where it is better to relax without small children. The problem of the beach is also that the main Patong is not as close as it might seem from the very beginning. As a result, you can’t really call a beach hotel.
Judging by the reviews, the hotel is somewhat below the 4mark, but you can’t call it bad either. This is a cozy place worthy of the attention of tourists.
Sunset Hotel Group
The hotel belongs to the Sunset hotel group, which operates in many countries around the world, earning a reputation as a resort of good quality.
Speaking of one hotel, it is impossible not to mention two others, which are also located in Thailand. One of them is The Sunset Village Beach Resort 4(Pattaya). Thisthe hotel is located in a cozy bay at the entrance to the city of Pattaya. Here tourists are waiting for their own beach and tropical bungalows.
Next to this hotel is the second complex of this group - Sunset Park Beach Resort & Spa 4. The concept of relaxation in it is also aimed at full unity with nature.
Pattaya and Phuket are Thailand's two most popular domestic tourist destinations. Vacationers should pay attention to the resort complexes of the Sunset group.
