Best Western Premier Bangtao Beach Resort & Spa

Arrived at BW Bangtao Beach after a 4 night stay for a family wedding in Bangkok. Nice change to go from the madness and chaos of the city to the calmness and quiteness of Bangtao. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the pool and with a view of the beach in the distance. No lifts at this hotel. Our twin room was a decent size with a large TV streaming Netflix (if you have an account) Bathroom had a large walk in shower. Air con was much needed and worked well. Mini bar was chargeable but they did supply 2 glass bottles of water every day for use in the room. Maid was in daily and towels were refreshed if needed and beds made. Personally I felt there was very little storage for clothes. A cabinet under the TV was too low and the wardrobe had hangers but no shelving. I hung a few things and then pretty much lived out my case. The balcony had a small wooden hanger thing for wet stuff. Pools were lovely. Not too cold or busy. Towels are lifted if people put them down and leave before 9.30am There was plenty loungers when we were there at both pools and you can opt to lounge at the beach too if you fancy it. Pool bar does do food which can be ordered to have at your lounger. They have two massage areas. I went to both and favoured the one where the ladies are dressed in green. Had a terrific head, neck and feet massage. So lovely listening to the waves during the treatment. Breakfast was nice. Pretty standard and basic. The usual cereals, breads and continental options. Nothing to write home about but the view from the restaurant looking out to the beach is so nice. There is a 7-11 right opposite the hotel which is situated on a dodgy bend. Beware the traffic (it is Thailand!) We booked two trips through the lady at the hotel. A full day boat trip to include Phi Phi Island and a visit to an elephant sanctuary. Both were reasonably priced and went without a hitch. The lady herself is very helpful and friendly and has good English so communication is easy. Plenty of places to eat nearby and we loved Siam Mumbai which is practically opposite. Food was super tasty with a large varied menu. Our stay at BW Bangtao was lovely. Relaxing and peaceful. There is no schedule here. No games at the pool. No entertainment unless you count a singer at dinner. A bit atmosphereless but this is maybe the normal in Thailand. A special mention to Golf who meets and greets at reception. A credit to the hotel he was always smiling. Very friendly and helpful.

Заказали трансфер, встретили в аэропорту, как надо. Персонал отличный, особенно хочется отметить Даниэля ,помогает во всем. Курение на территории только в специально отведенном месте ,под роспись выдается бумага о запрете курения в номерах и штрафе за нарушение. Очень правильно! Лежаки всегда можно найти и почти все они в тени сосен.

Les tables sur la plage et la taille des chambres

Le personnel incompétent et désagréable, manque de professionnalisme, on n’est pas traité comme un client. Par ex au dîner, les assiettes ont été apportées et il a fallu payer de suite. La qualité du dîner au restaurant mauvaise
