Good day everyone! Have a nice holiday everyone!
I'll tell you about our impressions about the hotel and the country. Vacation fell in mid-April. Ocean Corps.
It was hot. +35+40. Wet. But there was no rain.
They read about the hotel and knew what was in it and how. But in general, upon arrival there was some disappointment, no, more precisely, a mismatch between expectations and reality. The first thing that puzzled me was the smell in the hotel. Some kind of hospital, or an old damp house.
But in order... We got to the hotel at about 13.00. So it was not necessary to wait for the settlement, both literally and figuratively. Settled instantly, although no one at the reception in Russian did not understand. Everything was arranged, they gave coupons for breakfast, a card for towels. They took a deposit of $ 100 (which, by the way, is returned in the same currency). They gave me the key to room 425. We didn't pay anyone extra and didn't leave a tip either. Because there was nothing special about it. This room overlooks the backyard with a small sea view. Below were some roofs. At first they were disappointed, then they did not remember it.
The room itself was a good idea. Spacious, with two large beds (1.5 and 2-sleeping), which moved easily, with good mattresses. Large windows to the floor. Flat TV with three Russian channels (ORT, NTV and PegasTV). However, the room stock itself is old, somewhat tired and dirty. The carpet was stained with stains of various sizes and was no longer subject to cleaning. The sofa is also not the first freshness. Everything else is also old and sloppy. However, everything worked: the lights, the air conditioner, the refrigerator, the safe, and the plumbing. We didn't have any complaints here.
Cleaning was every day. At least the bed was made, replenished with water (2 to 0.5), tea, coffee. Water bottles should be left on the table, not thrown away. Otherwise, a fine. For pool towels not returned on time, too. So read the instructions given. By the way, the room was family, ie. with a door to another room. It was closed and we did not hear much noise because of this. I don’t know who made noise, we didn’t complain about the noise either from the neighbors, or from the Atrium, the cafe in the lobby.
The breakfast food was good. Enough choice and quite edible. You won't be left hungry.
Near the dining room there is a personal ocean pool. There is also a towel dispenser. They had to be handed over before 19.00, otherwise they threaten with a fine. We did not check whether this was true and rented it out as indicated, although this is strange and inconvenient, since the pool is open until 20.00. We also swam in the pool near the beach, the rest did not try. The beach is good. I consider it as clean as the sea, by the standards of Pattaya, of course. Yes, the water is not crystal clear, but without garbage and any living creatures. Tourists from other hotels closer to Pattaya could not boast of this. There really aren't enough umbrellas. There didn't seem to be any problems with sunbeds. It was possible to find. Both on the beach and by the pools.
The territory of the hotel is large, only the central "street" is worth something. But there are free electric cars on it that you can get to the right place. Of course, if you're lucky to catch him at the right time. We usually don't even wait. We just walked.
In general, I liked the area. Well-groomed, beautiful. Of course, there is no place to walk, just to walk. But it was nice to watch.
There are several buildings on the territory of the hotel. Different levels and different stars. Several pools. There are massage places (250 baht - Thai massage for the whole body).
There is a small market with all sorts of things: from fruits to ointments, from clothes to magnets. The prices are adequate, not more expensive than in Pattaya. And there is no point in going specifically for something specific to Pattaya. Spend more on the road.
Across the road from the hotel there are also several stalls with fruit and in the evening there are macaroons with food. There is also a street "food court" =), with different food. I won’t say that we are fans of eating like this, but still we tried food there. And quite satisfied. We also tried shrimp and tom yum, fish and grilled squid. Prices please.
Right there, across the road, there is a 7/11 shop, on the side of the hotel to the left, there is also right next to the crossing bridge.
Near 7/11 in the evening pancakes were sold from the top. Delicious. Who has not tried, we recommend with a banana (40 baht).
I will also add food at the hotel. Since we didn't really like the food on the street, we tried the tom yum at the hotel. In the Atrium. It is more expensive than on the street, but also tastier (90 baht - food court street, 190 - street, cafe near the elevated passage, 220 baht - hotel).
In the evening, a local "food court" was opened at the hotel in front of the Ocean building. Several tents with food (from Russian to Thai). Tables were set up outside. We often ate there. Tasty. Of course, more expensive than on the street.
For a small comparison: dinner on the street with a beer bought from a store is about 270-300 baht (for two), in a hotel in the evening with a beer bought here - 550 baht (for two). I must say right away that the dishes are different. But in general, the price level is visible. But in the hotel, in our opinion, it was tastier.
They also often took any fast food at 7/11. Have a snack in the afternoon (burger about 35-40 baht, yoghurts about 20 baht / piece).
By the way, beer is sold according to a very curious schedule: 11.00-14.00 and 17.00-23.00. Do not buy during the day. That's it!
The hotel is located quite far from Pattaya (but located on the main street of Sukhumvit). And this is both a plus and a minus. The minus is that it is far and noticeable in time to get there, plus, in the silence and purity of the sea.
Tuk-tuks go to Pattaya. Transport is very peculiar and not quite clear to us. They walk in a straight line. But once, when returning from Pattaya to the hotel, he turned and left for the labyrinth of streets, stopped to rest (what to do, sabai), though when they were indignant, he took us back to Sukhumvit and transferred us to another tuk-tuk to the hotel, Another time late in the evening at returning from the city with our company (6 people) he took the money as for a taxi, but he continued to recruit people as for a tuk-tuk, right there at the bus stop. As a result, having a fight, we left in a normal taxi with air conditioning for the same money that he extorted (300 baht). However, these are cases. Other times everything was fine. Don't be afraid.
On the way to Pattaya, there are large Tesco Lotus stores, 7/11 (groceries) and about the Outlet Mall (clothes) in the same place. They were not in the products, although they were going to. The people said that there was nothing to do there, the prices were the same as on the street.
We went to Outlet Mall on the way. If anyone is looking for good textiles, then it is probably worth visiting.
Generally we went to the night market near Tesco Lotus. Night, or rather evening. The market, and the market. Rows with things, rows with food, as in any market. Looked once and no more is needed. Food, yes! Own, Thai. Worth a try if it's there. I really liked the cocktails (30-40 baht). There were none near the hotel. For dinner, we collected 350 baht of sundries for two.
For the tour operator (Pegasus) I will say... Disgusting work. Not only did you stay at the airport due to the extreme disorganization of the meeting, but also at the hotel... Brainwashing about buying excursions and completely ignoring you, in the absence of a desire to purchase them. Frank humiliation of other sellers of excursions. And in the end, we bought from them (from street agencies), the prices were at least half as low, with the same absolute level of service.
We took Nong Nooch and the Khao Kheo Zoo: both there and there 500 baht / person (from the tour operator 1200 / person). Liked. And organization. And the tours themselves.
In general, we concluded that tour operators do not need you, they need your money. Moreover, they are trying to divorce us in such a rude and primitive way (they are especially fearful in the field of documents and medical insurance)... Newcomers are being conducted. We didn't buy.
Well, and finally, money, currency... We changed dollars at the tour operators Pegasus and Anex (there must be some use from them). On the street, the rate was lower, and always. So we didn't even bother.
Rubles can also be exchanged for baht, but dollars are more profitable.
I hope I covered all aspects. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer all interested. Including prices.
Have a nice rest and fun!
