об отеле about the hotel

Hello!! ! Two days ago I returned from Pattaya from the above hotel. I rested with my family from 23.10. 2012 to 06.11. 2012. I never write reviews, but it boiled here, let others not make such a mistake. In Pattaya for the second time, the first time was 2 years ago, we stayed at another hotel. Chose this as a "burning" option. Here's what came out of it. At the reception, we were met by a Russian-speaking entertainer, gave us the keys to two rooms (we were 4 people - 2 adults and two children 13 years old and 3 years old), while they took 4000 baht of a deposit, when we asked to exchange two rooms for one double room, we were told that they will be released only on 28.10. 2012. , (obviously they were waiting for a bribe) we did not move later. They settled us in the right wing (all Russians live there, we called this wing a "dormitory"), the main building was "under" the Chinese, it is naturally more modern, although I have not been in the rooms, I won't lie. Everything in our rooms is gray, there hasn’t been a repair for a long time, the TV remote control is missing, the bathrobe, slippers are also missing (but the Chinese had), there was also one key to the room, so that if one went to the pool, and the other wants sleep, then the key remains in the lock so that everything does not turn off in the room, and the second one goes and, of course, wakes up when returning, since it cannot open the door on its own. Sometimes they did not report towels and shampoos, despite the rather generous tip, which after this we simply stopped leaving. The pool is open from 7 am to 7 pm, then it is chlorinated, so you can’t get into it later, which is also not convenient, you can’t buy it after returning from a walk. The hotel does not have its own beach, the sea is really 10 meters away, BUT there is no shore, there are bags of strengthening the coastline, on the left there is some kind of hut on the right, a hotel is being built or something like that, the coast is VERY dirty as well as the sea, in the center it is much cleaner than at the hotel. Therefore, the only way to swim is to go to the islands. The hotel is very far away, to go to the center on 2 tuks with a change, if you linger in the center, then back by taxi, which is 250-300 rubles, you can of course leave by the hotel bus that runs according to the schedule, having previously paid 60 baht per person at the reception. There are no entertainment places in the location of the hotel, everything is in the center. Fed as everywhere else, monotonous, but tolerable. In general, I did not find any pluses, except for the Russian Mikhail at the reception, many thanks to him for his help, a trifle, but nice. In general, choose another hotel.
