The Cove Phi Phi

The impressions are mixed. On the one hand, it's great that such a secluded place. On the other hand, there is no infrastructure and getting to it requires either effort (through the jungle on foot) or money (sea taxi). What I liked: they meet you at the pier, they can take you to the hotel right away (included in the price of accommodation), a welcome drink (very sweet unnatural orange juice with ice), a local small half-empty beach, its own coral reef, no crowds of tourists, few guests. From the boat, your things will be carried to the reception by the hotel staff. The same way back - they will load your things. The food is very tasty both from the menu and for breakfast (buffet). The room has air conditioning, a fan, a hair dryer, a mini fridge. On the table there is coffee, tea, sugar and cream. They give out 2 towels: a large and a small one per person. There is a canopy over the bed. The view of the garden is through a wall of "floor-to-ceiling glass". The windows are tinted and you can't see what you're doing from the street, unless you turn on the light)). The bathroom has a set with a toothbrush and toothpaste, cotton swabs and a shower cap. There is shampoo, shower gel and liquid soap. Everything smells very good. I really liked the sounds of nature, the wonderful garden, the shells on the shore, the view under water (you need to swim further). What I didn't like: very, very expensive accommodation, expensive taxis, high prices on the menu. In the jungle, while walking from observation deck #3, we got lost and did not find the way to the hotel(( Checkout at 11:30, breakfast from 7:30 to 10:00. Beach cleaning only in front of the houses, behind the restaurant is a real garbage dump (photo) and it's terrible. Any high tide and it's all back in the sea!!! Globally, we did not find any insects or reptiles in the room. There were a couple of small ants in the bathroom and I also saw a gecko, but it seems he did not want to be our neighbors that night:(
