Once in a 365 days - an alternate scene at the beachfront suites of Aleenta

According to Aleenta, they would hire a crane to flatten the beach once a year, usually after the monsoon season (October). We were lucky to see this interesting scene a crane off the beachfront suites. Don't worry. It went so quickly that only for an hour something it's done. This is something nice of Aleenta to keep this beach in shape. I see they hire many locals to clean the beach every morning and afternoon.

yeh there r lots of works behind keeping a 5-star beach resort in shape, more difficult than managing a city hotel ..

Very true, especially on the power and water, they need some backup power and a big water tank. BTW, forgot taking the photo of the Aleenta's staff residence. It's very big, almost same size as the resort itself and also a nice canteen inside (but we didn't go in to try as it's a bit too ironic.).

Everything was perfect except the wifi bandwidth and connection could use some improvement. :) Thanks.

Maybe they don't want the guests to use wifi so much so they can relax and enjoy this place more Pixmation.

When I was there, the internet connection wasn't that bad except that I needed to find a better spot. Then at this time, it was of much problem. I noticed the resort was quite crowded. Admitted that Aleenta should look into the point that right now many people need to have a large flow of data on those apps/social networking platform.
Well, that reminded me of another resort in Coral Island (15km south of Phuket). Not even a wifi, but also a phone or TV set weren't there. So at the night time, that's only you and the beach and the sea wave or moon light. For the first night I didn't get used to it. Ironically I extended the stay and even missed it on the departure.

Coral Island for sure is not for me then.
I must use internet and watch TV everyday.
