Tourists about vacation
Now you can pay attention to the reviews left about the Diamond Cottage Resort & Spa 4hotel in Karon. They are mostly positive. Here are the most common comments:
- Kata Beach, on the left side, is simply gorgeous - with wonderful white sand and warm, blue water without big waves. Karon, although famous, is not liked by everyone. Because there are big waves and rough yellow sand.
- There are no sun loungers, so you need to take towels to the beach. They are provided to guests. Then the used can be changed directly at the reception.
- There is a market with fruits and things nearby - there is a huge selection and low prices.
- The hotel is located on a small hill, but at the receptionyou can always find administrators ready to take guests to their building in an electric car.
- It is recommended to order only breakfast when booking a tour. The surrounding area is full of restaurants and cafes, which offer a wide range of interesting dishes at low prices. The main thing is not to eat somewhere near the hotel - it's expensive there. It is better to go left, to the crossroads, then turn left again - a street will open up to your eyes, on which there are countless establishments.
- Hospitable, friendly atmosphere reigns in the hotel itself. And the staff is excellent, they do their job without any complaints. The apartments are always cleaned on time and conscientiously, not forgetting to change linen, towels, bring tea and coffee and hygiene items (shampoo, gels, cotton swabs, etc.).
- Breakfast some tourists consider not very diverse, even meager. But people who do not like to eat are satisfied. Special attention is paid to the presence of fresh and tasty fruits.
- It's rare to find Russians in a hotel. Mostly elderly foreigners, including Chinese, rest in it.
- If by mistake the guests were settled in another room (for example, in the one where there are two separate beds, and not one 2-bedroom), then you need to tell about it right away, and the problem will be resolved immediately.
- In the rooms, all equipment is decent, not old, including furniture. On TV, by the way, it shows two Russian-language channels with good films.
- Excursions are recommended to be taken not on the spot, but ordered from a tour operator. It's more profitable.
Guests pay special attention to the territory of the hotel. It is designed in a colorful Thai style - very beautiful. Everywhere fountains, pools, elephants, blooming plumeria - every detail pleases the eye.
The only drawback noted by tourists is the Superior apartments. Their disadvantage is that their windows overlook the main street. At night, life does not stop on Karon, and therefore the guests who decide to stay in this room suffer from loud music. Although, you can close the door to the balcony and sleep under the air conditioner, but this solution also does not suit everyone.
Therefore, it is recommended to think about this moment in advance in order to book a good room.
