The hotel consists of three buildings, so to speak a triangle. 1 main building and 2 new buildings with DELUXE rooms. There are 2 swimming pools. One with a sauna on the roof of the main building and one with a bar between the two new buildings, I would say with cool water, a friend would say with cold : ) But in the heat, this is what you need. We stayed in the new building in the DELUXE room. View from the balcony to the courtyard, the pool. The room has everything you need, which is typical for a DELUXE room. There was a balcony with a table and two wooden reclining chairs. We were a little unlucky, we got a room (room number 1208 or so they indicate (A208)) with a ramp. Well, it didn’t bother us very much, on the contrary, it covers a little from the bottom and you can’t see who is on the balcony and what they are doing. There were no insects. Well, we were immediately warned not to leave food open (including fruits), but put everything in the refrigerator. The room was cleaned every day except bed linen. According to my observations, it is simply smoothed and covered again. Well, out of 10 days, we spent only 5 nights in hotels, so we didn’t bother. The hotel staff do not speak Russian and do not understand. They seem to understand English more or less. There was one incident, if you can call it that, they locked themselves in the pool with their snacks and drinks. A bartender came up to us (poked a sign with incomprehensible inscriptions in Russian letters: D) well, it became clear that the fine was 200 baht. Well, I explained to her for a long time that everything that we brought with us, we bought in a shop, which, by the way, is located in the main building and she fell behind. When we left the hotel, there were no problems. They gave a deposit of 1000 baht and said thank you, come again.
There is only one minus (maybe a plus for someone), it is located in the Northern part on Naklua Street and it takes 10-15 minutes to get to the "dolphins" by tuk-tuk (for 10 baht), 30-40 minutes to Walkin Street depends on traffic jams , and they are almost constant. Better of course on a bike (for 80 baht), 10-12 minutes to Walkin Street. Well, that's why the price for remoteness for a hotel of this level is cheaper than in the center or the first line of about 6-9 thousand, or even more. Maybe, of course, someone welcomes the silence, tranquility, the singing of birds, but we went to Pattaya to have an active rest, to have fun. And sometimes it was very annoying remoteness from the center and the coast.
