Arrival: After getting off the boat at Tonsai Pier, many hotels had people holding signs to pick up people, but no one held the Blue Sky sign. We looked everywhere but couldn't find the hotel sign. Someone asked us to go to the long-tail boat boarding place to ask. There was a person there to arrange the boat. After telling the hotel name, he immediately contacted the hotel to arrange a boat to pick us up. No charge was required, and it took about 15 minutes. It took 10 minutes by boat to reach Long Beach. Blue Sky is very small, there is no lobby or anything. Several employees checked us in in a simple house (the front desk, restaurant, and kitchen are all here). It feels like a family hotel. The A1 and A2 beachfront cottages are not cheap. I booked more than 700 per night a month in advance. When it was close, the room price on Ctrip had risen to more than 1110, but the room facilities and decoration were very simple. It was mainly for the first-line sea view and the small terrace outside the house. The entire hotel area has a very small frontage, with only two beachfront huts added to the width of the huts in the check-in area. It is very pitiful compared to other hotels in Long Beach. There is no swimming pool or other facilities. There are other small villas scattered behind A1 and A2, but the view is not that good. It is better to go to the Pearl Paradise next door (located at the left end of the beach, with a good environment, good seaside restaurant and not expensive. We ate there every meal, and there is also Thai massage. There is a small path at the end of the hotel beach that can walk to Tongsai) or the hotel called Long Beach at the other end of the beach. This hotel has two swimming pools, one of which is an infinity pool for watching the sea, an open-air restaurant, a large lounge chair area, and great snorkeling in the reef area opposite). In short, Blue Sky has nothing except the two beachfront huts in the front row. I personally feel that it is a bit disappointing. There was a child who came to the store and charged an extra 600 baht per night for an extra bed. At night, I found that the extra bed was only given a quilt cover without a quilt core, but the store staff got off work at 7 o'clock and covered the small house at the front desk with a large white plastic sheet. Fortunately, breakfast is free, with various fried eggs, pancakes, and sandwiches. Each person can only choose two of them, plus coffee and orange juice. The hotel has snorkeling masks and kayaks to borrow, which is great. We brought our own snorkeling masks and kayaks to snorkel near the reef not far away. Check-out time is 11 o'clock, but the clerk told me that the free boats back to Tonsai are only at 8:10 and 10:00. If you leave at 12 o'clock, you have to pay an additional 100 baht. The jelly sea and flour sand and snorkeling in Long Beach are still unforgettable! In Long Beach, I saw many tourists taking long-tail boats or walking on the path to Long Beach to play, and then returning to Tonsai after the sun sets. In fact, this is good. After all, Tonsai is more fun at night. You can watch Muay Thai or massage in the bar. The night in Long Beach is very quiet. There are three small supermarkets that close at 8 o'clock in the evening. It is best to replenish some food and drinks early, otherwise you can't buy them at night.
