Отель на 4* 4* hotel

Among the other triplets of Pattaya, the hotel turned out to be quite expensive, we hoped that this was justified. We flew in a package tour, as it came out cheaper than on our own.
Our expectations were justified. But like everything else, it has its pros and cons. We are not the first time in Pattaya, but have already rested in Pattaya Park, so there is something to compare with.
Of the main disadvantages: the furniture in the room is very old, and also not a good location. And the point is not even that the hotel is located in the extreme south, but that at the exit from the hotel there is a busy Sukhumviroad highway, which is difficult to cross and the nearest infrastructure is right next to the Ambassador. The hotel tries to smooth these corners and provides a paid shuttle to the center for 60 baht per person and an electric car until 7/11. In any case, the location is more than a minus. The whole party in the evening opposite the Ambassador Hotel (there are good cafes, massages and fruit shops), near Botani it’s quiet and there’s nothing to do, and in Tai at 18:00 it’s already dark and you have to go somewhere otherwise you’ll get bored.

You can get to the city by shuttle from the hotel, by tuk-tuk in taxi mode, by tuk-tuk along the route, but with 2 transfers (but 20 baht on the highway and 10 in the city).
Of all the categories of rooms, we decided to focus on the classics of the genre - the cheapest standard rooms in the main building. We did not take a villa or a bungalow, they are much more expensive.
The room we had was average in size, despite the slightly shabby furniture, it was quite comfortable and very well equipped. Each room has a balcony, while the villas and bungalows have terraces. Bungalows are located by the sea, villas in the interior. I didn’t like the bungalows outwardly and are dark inside, but the villas are much more solid as an option for companies to note.
The territory is quite large and beautiful (you will meet small lizards, butterflies, chipmunks, squirrels, birds in living creatures of geckos, fish swim in improvised ponds), the pools are chic (there are good sunbeds and umbrellas around), and most importantly, they are not kicked out of the pool even at night (I wonder when do they clean it? ). But this is more of a plus, because after excursions or returning from the city it was cool to take a dip.
I won’t talk about excursions, there are a lot of them, and you can’t go around twice. We ordered (relying on the reviews) from the Nika Travel company (I ordered a price list on their website, they sent me, answered all the questions, clearly and clearly, we already planned something for our small budget, already in Pattaya we met with a guide, issued vouchers and traveled), did not make a mistake in their choice - quality and attentive service. Many succumbed to divorce (as, indeed, we did for the first time) and took tours from a tour operator, then people were upset that they overpaid for excursions by 1.5 or even 2 times, but in fact everything is the same. Then it is impossible to refuse excursions from the tour operator.

About the sea - here in Pattaya the beach is more aesthetic. And it is the same everywhere, in the center, near the hotel. Do not believe those who say that it is better in the south. Also, the tides wash the garbage ashore, this is the misfortune of the whole of Pattaya (it's a pity that the Thais do not value their natural resources). Therefore, to swim as a budget option to go to the Military Beach or Satthip. Koh Lan is far away (we went there when we were relaxing in Pattaya Park). Beautiful islands will come out more expensive, but on the islands both the coral sand and the sea are cleaner (I advise you to escape for sure). From the shore of the hotel offers beautiful views of Pattaya and the port of Marina Ocean.
In any case, our stay was great. Do not believe the bad reviews and do not forget that this is still three stars, but for the Pattaya troika it is very cool.
