4.0 Deluxe
Positives- Staff was friendly and courteous although for the most part invisible except during check-in and check-out.
Negatives- Unnecessary inconvenience for foreigners that are fully vaccinated.
- Hotel rates are extremely overpriced compared to non-ASQ rates.
- Set menu each offers little variety in food choices; portions are small; and quality average at best.
Actually 2 person 35 sm room. Would not permit 2 people to stay in 30 sm room (ridiculous that 5 sm makes any difference). Accommodations where extremely overpriced especially given the market. Marriott has this same room for 2 persons occupancy with buffet breakfast included for 1,350 THB ($45 USD) per night starting July 3rd. My cost for 2 persons under ASQ was 234 USD. I hardly believe that it cost Marriott an extra 189 USD per night to provide my spouse and I 2 extra mediocre meals each day and a Covid RT-PCR test for each of us on day six (actually Their ASQ information states any extra tests will be charged at 4,500 THB or 133 USD). There is no housekeeping service during your stay although they will provide fresh towels and linens upon request. Finally, we were not permitted to leave our room during the entire stay.
In closing, my opinion is the Thai government and hotel industry is using the ASQ program to enrich themselves at the expense of naive foreigners. My recommendation to anyone is do not travel to Thailand until such time they have the virus under control (likely not until sometime in 2022), and all restrictions have been lifted. Unless you come to see family you will be very disappointed as many businesses are closed by government order or voluntarily due to limited business.
