We had booked a studio deluxe pavilion. When we were allocated
our room we found ourselves looking out onto the beautiful sea
from our balcony. The lovely and friendly staff managed to accommodate
us on the first floor up so we the view was great. The location
is very picturesque. Beach is reachable by steps from the resort,
so for someone with walking problems this is a no go. The sea
is warm and beautiful especially as we came on what they call
an inspection trip (Club Whitebay) The breakfast buffet is very
good but we eat too much food all week. Staff are extremely
friendly although their English is not p[erfect they really
are lovely and helpful. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants
on Choeng Mon beach. I personally would rate this hotel as true
5 star beach resort and will become without any doubt the other
day.

Mike and I came to Thailand with the idea of "Flashpacking"
around the country and islands. Being in our 50’s and self-employed
we decided that 6 weeks would give us plenty of time to explore.
So armed only with the backpackers bible (the lonely Planet)
and lots of optimisim we sallied forth from Bangkok.
On a trip to visit "Boots" in Chaweng, two guys stopped us
and asked if we spoke English. Thinking they were lost (haha)
and needed directions, Joan was about to say we were sort
of lost ourselves; when they handed us two scratchcards.
Within 5 minutes we knew they were selling something and
being game for most things we thought what the book let’s
see what it’s all about (besides we wanted our scratchcard
present!!)
On meeting Craig in the office after filling out forms, and
by now knowing this was "timeshare"-( sighted a few other
couples sat at tables) we were suitably impressed. Polite,
charming, well dressed and articulate. We listened to an extremely
good presentation with no "pressure" at all. (Both of us have
had bad experiences Spain/USA/Canaries/Turkey)
We met the "team" and they are a very co-ordinated professional
group with Alfie their leader. Again all articulate and sincere;
explaining everything so clearly and answering all our questions
and queries with unfailing good humor in a relaxed way that
put us entirely at ease.
Then we were taken to the resort. Here we finally fell in
love with Thailand. We could not get back to the office quick
enough. With no words spoken we just knew here was the dream.
Here we are on a trial honeymoon. (We get married next year)
Thanks guys for everything, your help, wonderful hospitality
(lovely meal with Craig & Dyhew-that Thai lady will go
for!!) not to mention the sheer beauty of the Peninsula Resort.
You have given us our vary own dream.
To sum up:
An honest transaction made in Paradise that will
take us to more Paradise's.
PS. We have mentioned 3 people by name for the article; but
there are more who should be named but we will close here
with
Thanks Team!!!
