Rest time : 30.08. 2014 to 06.09. 2014. Today is my second day since arriving at this hotel. We moved from another hotel Ambasador city Jomtien, which can be given a solid C grade, i. e. the hotel fully justified its three stars. I confess, he completely suited me in terms of location, condition of the rooms (large, but not new), infrastructure, a huge territory of several buildings, the presence of its own market, many shops, and I will especially highlight the PRICES !! ! everything is very cheap compared to central Pattaya! Prices for domestic services, food, entertainment. But it's not about him. And so, arrival by taxi, accommodation: friendly hotel staff, including a pretty Russian-speaking Evgenia, explained everything and told around the hotel in the course of filling out the questionnaire, making a deposit of $ 100. The time spent on this procedure is 20 minutes. The reception itself is small for such a hotel. There are a lot of people. I was unpleasantly struck by a large number of Thais and Chinese, the latter, especially noisy ones, created an unpleasant fuss and, I confess, made them nervous after the trip. The elevators, like the whole architecture of the hotel, are beautiful. But it's stuffy inside. Placed on the thirteenth floor, room overlooking the sea. View is chic. The hotel's own beach, in the form of a small bay. Unfortunately, we got into a period when an army of jellyfish approaches the shore and they didn’t swim in the sea itself often, sand mixed with stone, and sharp ones often come across (I liked Jomtien much more). The sea is a dirty sea (Pataya). But with regards to the pools, here is Centare, I think there is nothing to brag about. The pools are not deeper than 120 cm, the absence of one large sports pool. The entire pool area is designed mainly for children. There are three small baths with a dozen sun beds for the adult public, but for me this is not enough for a hotel like this. I really liked the number itself. Clean, fresh renovation, of the minuses is the lack of control of air conditioners near the bed. So if it got cold in the middle of the night, you had to stomp to the door and turn it off. TV - only one Russian channel worked for us. Well, yes, and God bless him, less brains littered. Internet wi-fi is pretty good for Tai. Speed ​ ​ on 2Ip. Ru showed 2.5 mb / s. NOO, the hotel has its own firewall and you can watch movies only from YouTube, neither videomix nor 24 video. com is not shown there. You will also not be able to access many Russian sites. Location: you yourself can evaluate by looking at the map. Prices (((. After Ambasador city, sadness. . Pizza is twice as expensive, some dishes are three or more. In Ambasador we dined in a restaurant and for ten eleven dishes for four (first, second, salads, dessert) left no more than 900 baht. Here for the same 2500. It was cheaper for me to rent a taxi to my former hotel, have lunch there and take a taxi back. Another minus of Centara: dining room, beach area, pools are not designed for such a number of people that accommodate two buildings. I for the first time I encountered a queue in the dining room in the morning!! ! It was wild for me to watch how the audience was waiting for breakfast and this was at half past eight in the morning. Again, you need to look at the rest time. Maybe in another period this is not observed here. And again I will note a large number local and Chinese. The Thais themselves say about the latter that they love them very much, they love them because where the Chinese pass in the jungle, there is no need to lay a road, you just need to roll it up with asphalt. So far, perhaps, everything, and for the loss of a card on a towel, they are threatened with a fine of 800 baht. . . It's up to you gentlemen tourists)) have a good rest
