We are resting for the third time in Pattaya. This year, not everything is so sweet with the dollar exchange rate, so Pattaya again, although I have long wanted to visit the beautiful beaches of Phuket! The hotel was chosen for the price, the last "Botany" is already expensive. We decided to experiment with hotels in the city center in order to be closer to the center, the pier and not spend money on vehicles (it was not so easy to get to entertainment since the last hotel, but now it’s also expensive), but I wanted to show my sister the city. In general, the choice was stopped at this hotel, the reviews are quite good. They flew with Anex, the food on board their charter was very poor, they didn’t like it, there wasn’t even a choice of soft drinks. The transfer is very long, we drove about 5 hours to Pattaya, not organized. On the bus, the guide offers to change rubles, though at an overpriced rate, it's cheaper in Pattaya. And, of course, he fed us fairy tales that we definitely need to come to a meeting with a guide, because we can change the airport of departure from Bangkok to Utopao, I think this is a scam. We arrived at the hotel in the evening, finally settled right away, got the room in building 2 (there are 3 buildings and villas in total in the hotel). The room is quite spacious, two separate beds, a sofa by the window, LCD TV, mini bar, kettle, safe, soap accessories. They were changed every day, the cleaning is not bad. Valuables were kept in a safe. Superior category room with access to the parking lot. But on the website of the hotel, I didn’t find exactly the same rooms as ours. But it is very similar to the declared one, only not so light and bright (photos are heavily processed). Settled and went to explore, the exchanger found immediately. Near the hotel on Bokao street, and there he is not alone. Opposite the hotel massage, probably with the lowest prices in Pattaya for 150 baht, everywhere 200, and in the last hotel it cost 250. In the evening, this street is very noisy, full of bars. There is a cafe where you can eat. Five minutes to the south street, there is a fruit market in the evening, five minutes to the second street, I walked through the shopping center Avenue. We were very pleased with the breakfasts, we expected less, but a good choice, delicious croissants, most likely home-baked. I saw how our compatriots collected rolls in bags)) yes, a lot, I thought that they would eat only rolls all day? After all, tomorrow morning they will bake new ones for breakfast! The hotel is dominated by Russians and Asians. Breakfast in building 1, on the ground floor next to the reception. Swimming pool for all buildings, it is small. It is located opposite the 1st building, up the stairs. It is small, open until 8 pm, there is a separate small jacuzzi area (if you can call it that), a few umbrellas, but there are always free sunbeds. They came to the pool literally three times, because all the time they were on trips on excursions or they themselves went to the island of Koh Lan. We went to a meeting with the guide, but the prices for tours are simply unrealistic at Anex. Like last time, we bought excursions at Nika Travel from Alexander. The second time we went to Kwai, and the tour became even better, we spent 3 hours at the waterfall. This is the kind of tour that you want to visit again and again. And what is the cost of a night in a hotel on the river. From the new one - Princess Island, we had a guide Nastya with us, a good underwater world, an interesting excursion and a beach holiday, Odyssey is also great, the guys themselves watch the beach of the island. Upon arrival, a group of guides immediately clears the entrance to the water from the debris caused by the tides, the island is full of monitor lizards, and also at the beginning, the island of fidget monkeys who are just ready to steal something from personal belongings. My sister went to Alcazar, Khao Kheo and Nong Nooch, I have already visited all this in the past). In custody. City hotel located in the very center. The central beach is not suitable for swimming, so it is better for active tourists who are ready to move around Pattaya day and night, as well as to travel to Koh Lan, to relax in the hotel, there is nowhere to choose this hotel. I will add that apart from three buildings (villas opposite) and a swimming pool and a hotel, there is no territory, no greenery, etc. There is nothing to do with children in this area. But the accommodation is decent and the food is good value for money.
