From the rental of mopeds as transportation, we would advise (aktvie bikers themselves). The short and nearly daily short rain makes the roads too slippery Spären ... also: check, depending on the arrival of the flight the day before booking your room. We arrived at 0900 clock in at the hotel and had to wait for the room reference to 13.30 clock. Tedious. Reservations can be made through a travel agent.

Food
All of the restaurants Katathani Resort resort (7) are available. The quality is very good. Recommended for fish lovers the "The Fisherman" with a sea view, very popular and high standing and the Shore's own "The Harbour". Prices in the department move to lower-level Euro. Emphasize it is the "Mom Tri Kitchen" that convinces in price / performance, but comes at a price. The breakfast buffet is not overloaded, but ranges from completely. Besides bread, fruit and usual breakfast daily relics also a hot buffet (Thai) is offered. Who eats breakfast at about 10 clock is safely able to do without lunch.
Hint: it has many departments outside the dinner restaurants of good quality and low prices. Recommended: Thai restaurant "Ta" on Kata Noi Beach, and several restaurants in Kata Beach (Horn Steakhouse and especially Boathouse Steak & Wine). You will be driving to Kata Beach on the tuk-tuk drivers at the junction Main Road disembark.
Conclusion
Couples or luxury seekers find at The Shore is an ideal address for discreet, quiet and yet not quite as withdrawn-limited vacation as bsp. Way in the Maldives. Opportunity for adventure tours are given at the same time is a boring 10 days at The Shore never. The hotel is under Swiss management (as of 04.2012). Children (under 12 years) are not permitted. The guests are English, American, Asian, and increasingly Swiss origin. Anonymity and privacy are respected and lived. The staff is accommodating to come, very friendly, but never intrusive. The villas is worth 5-star comfort. Note the high humidity and often criminally unappreciated risk starting from mosquitoes (daily spray!).
Recommendation
every cent / euro value! "The Shore" but shines in different points. Class guaranteed vacation, also and especially honeymooners.
