We rested at the hotel with a family of 2 adults and a child (4.5 years old) from 07.05 to 21.05 2016

The hotel was booked through booking (71 thousand baht), they immediately indicated that we needed an extra bed for a child (1000 baht per day), we flew on a regular Aeroflot flight (98 thousand rubles), which is much more comfortable and pleasant than flying by charter. Taxis were ordered from home at once in both directions. (airport - hotel) it cost us 1300 + 1200 baht
The hotel presents itself as a hotel for adults, and if you initially score 2 adults and 1 child, then booking will not show it. You just need to search for 2 adults, and then indicate that you need a bed or there will be a child in the same bed with you.


Every second family in the hotel during our period was with children, so in fact those who are infuriated by children's noise are better to choose a hotel that is located very close to the Rabbit Resort. They don’t settle there with children at all, but the price tag there will be higher.

We were at the hotel around 11 am, the check-in was instant.
Our entire stay, the hotel was filled by no more than 30%. Therefore, there were no problems in the restaurant, or with sunbeds by the pool at all. And in general, there were few people at the resort. The total flooding of Pattaya by the Chinese was a little annoying, but we did not often cross paths with them, and we did not have them at the hotel.

Hotel pros:

- Very good location of the hotel, quiet and comfortable
- spacious and well-equipped rooms
- 400 meters to the active part of Jamtien with shops, cafes, exchangers and souvenirs, as well as tuk-tuks
- the road in front of the hotel is not passable during the daytime, there is no smell of burning or noise from cars
- a small but cozy green area of ​ ​ the hotel, a lot of shade around the pool, there is always where to hide from the sun
- very good breakfasts for a hotel in Thailand, of course they are the same everywhere, but you definitely won’t stay hungry, naturally you don’t need to compare with Turkey or Egypt
- they give out very good lunch boxes if you leave early for an excursion or an early flight
- it is convenient to run to the sea directly from the hotel in swimming trunks, from the exit from the hotel to the water 80 m
- quite well-groomed and green beach in front of the hotel
- neither in the room nor in the hotel there are no smells of dampness or dirt
- the room is cleaned quite well, but if you are with children and sleep during the day, then in the first couple of days of your stay you should make it clear to the cleaner and then there will be no problems
- in our opinion good value for money
- the hotel is completely suitable for families with children, although it positions itself as a hotel for adults

Cons of the hotel

- you can not take towels out of the hotel, although we saw that people with them went to the beach

- you can’t take food out of breakfast, but please sit around the pool with the food you bought. Although in the reviews I read that someone made comments in this case
- no porridge for children for breakfast
- in our room there was a flat-screen TV, but rather old, it was not possible to connect a flash drive with cartoons, it opens only photo and audio files
- there is no massage parlor either in the hotel or nearby, the masseuse must be ordered from the staff, comes the next day, massage by the pool, the price is higher than in ordinary massage parlors and quite significantly
- leaves and flowers fall from the trees into the pool, they are not removed very quickly, but globally this does not spoil the impression
- it would be possible to vacuum the pool more often and more diligently
- it also does not hurt to replace the wooden flooring that surrounds the pool
- when booking a hotel, the amount of one day of stay is immediately debited (non-refundable)

As for the beach, of course, you should not expect any miracles from the sea and from the beach itself in Pattaya.
The water is usually cloudy, reminiscent of water in a pond, especially if there are waves, floating bags and other objects are not uncommon. But in general, this is one of the best places in Jamtien, and you can’t compare it with central Pattaya, it wakes up much quieter, cozier and more comfortable here. And when it's calm, the water becomes transparent. It should also be borne in mind that at this time of the year there are quite strong daily low tides. In the morning, the sea is still next to the sunbed, and by lunchtime, you need to run several tens of meters in hot shallow water to reach it.

But none of this has anything to do with the hotel itself.

The hotel completely satisfied us and what happens very rarely is when we are determined to come to the same hotel next time.

for several visits, while the child was sleeping, I once again made a detour of the entire coast of Pattaya.

I examined in detail all the beaches and hotels from the northern fishing pier, which is located behind the Temple of Truth and to the Grand Jomtien Palace in the southern part, I did not examine more distant places, since for us personally these areas no longer fall into the area of ​ ​ our interests. Unfortunately, I have not yet found a worthy and equivalent replacement for a future one in terms of price and quality.
