AoChalong Accommodation Appraisal
We had requested a Pool view room on the Ground floor, because stairs are a problem at the moment. Unfortunately what we got was a Pool view room on the first floor; with no lift available to this 4 level building, so beware. However next day reception was helpfull and a change to a Garden view room on the ground floor was arranged. This proved satisfactory and a reduction in cost negociated successfully.
The resort is of a quiet laid back style, right on the waterfront with two nice pools, gardens and shade trees.
It is several hundred meteres down a lane way from the main road, a little hard to find but had absolutely no traffic noise unlike Patong Beach and others which are noisy, full of traffic, Bars and the Night club scene, which is not what some might wish for.
The buffet breakfast is quite adequate and the staff all very friendly.We also dined at night which was pleasant and not too expensive.
The manageress on the front counter speaks good English which is helpfull.
A rental car or motor bike is a requirement as there is no regular bus which passses near by.
The pier from which boats depart to a lot of the local islands is close by and you can walk to it along the beach in about ten minutes.
The resort is good value for the dollars charged, Note you will save by booking on-line before you arrive rather than just fronting up.
We can recommend this resort for a relaxing holiday break --away from the maddening crowds.
