For the fourth time we came to rest in Thailand. since flights from Novosibirsk to Thailand are expensive (40 thousand rubles), it’s easier to buy a tour for 30 thousand rubles to an inexpensive hotel, come and go to your favorite places. The isawanya hotel itself is located at the end of Jomtien and there are no busy disco bars around, etc. isawanya is the final stop of the TUK Tuk shuttle. In the evening, you need to be vigilant because these taxis are trying to charge an additional fee for taking you there. after a couple of days we went to the island of Koh Samet. bought a tour for 6 nights from a local operator. The three of us (I. wife and son) bought from a local travel agency a fishing trip Amazonian predators with a personal driver and a car, a trip to the Bangkok water park with a personal driver and a car, a trip to about. Smat for 6 nights and private transfer with private driver and car. for everything about everything we paid 900 dollars, which I was satisfied with. I’ll tell you straight about fishing for Amazonian predatory fish - it’s not worth the money ($ 100 per person), while for 4 hours in the heat there were only 2 bites and two fish that had to be released immediately. The bite intensity is weak. The water park in Bangkog is worth a day trip, especially if you are with children. True, the water slides there are already dead and after a couple of slopes it discourages any desire to ride, but good roller coasters and all kinds of attractions. Well, now the main thing. . . Koh Samet island. I will warn you immediately change money in Pattaya. since the island has a predatory rate (28 baht for 1 dollar). We lived in a hotel on the beach "Malibu" a good hotel 2500 baht per day. Bungalow with sea view, air conditioning, large bathroom, TV. True, not far from the neighboring beach, we found almost the same hotel with houses overlooking the sea for 1000 baht per day and not crowded enough. (experience comes with age). Food in local cafes located on the beach is a little more expensive than in Pattaya - a total of 500 baht per person. but lots of seafood. In terms of relaxation and freedom of movement, Koh Chang is much more interesting. Oh, and also about the important "GUYS do not buy cell phones, iPhones, tablets in Pattaya. The originals cost about the same as ours, and copies (refinishes) are much cheaper, but there is no guarantee for them. Charging the batteries is enough for a couple of hours of work. The cameras are weak. It is checked up on the bitter experience. Will we go to Thailand again - of course we will! Where else for that kind of money you can have a winter vacation without adventures on your life. In general, we are satisfied with the rest. Especially since my wife is 5 months pregnant. Fruit, sea, sun, seafood. (I ask you not to judge strictly for mistakes, I write quickly in one breath) ALL HAVE A PLEASANT REST !! ! Take care of yourself

In principle, I liked the rest in Thailand very much, did you like it ? ? Due to excursions, if not for them it would be a problem to live in this hotel and swim in the dirty sea. At the beginning it was just awful, on the very first night we were bitten by some insects, the shower was something with something simple, there was no shower or bath, in general I didn’t like it very much.

The walls are dirty, there are some smudges on the ceiling, and the worst thing is the door in the room that did not open, but then at night someone wanted to open it too, in general, there was no fear, it’s not clear why there is a door to another room...... It’s better to overpay a little, but choose a hotel that is more worthy and better

Our room was on the 3rd floor by the pool. For the price paid, it's a decent hotel. There is air conditioning in the room (yes, it’s on the balcony, but where should it stand? ), There is no shower cabin in the bathroom (and who bothers to wash?! ) I absolutely don’t understand the outrage about this !!! ! It is clear that summer in Tae is quiet and whimsical.

It is clear that summer in Tae is quiet and whimsical. Very good impression of the hotel! Far from the center, so calm and quiet. The room is not very big (why is it big? What to do there?! ). Yes, there is no beach of its own, but there is not a single hotel in Jamtien that has its own beach. One ocean for all!! ! Everyone scolds ladders, but there are such everywhere !!! ! Even 5 star hotels are not much better. Breakfast. Monotonous breakfast. Tell me, who at home prepares pickles for breakfast every day? Sausages, sausages, rice, salad, fruit. . . alternate, combine))) Cleaned every day in the room, soap, shampoo, 2 bottles of free water. The safe at the reception was issued for 500 baht per room. There is even internet! Free and works!! ! Family friendly hotel. Who to hang out - in the center! Poor ventilation in the toilet. We solved the problem with seven ileven deodorant)))) It all depends on the mood with which you are driving, flaws can also be found in the perfect five.

If you decide to save money, then it is better to choose something else, at the same price. The hotel is old, small, 3 floors. Despite assurances that the hotel has been refurbished, the rooms look shabby. If you go, then only on the 2nd floor. We chose him because it has a balcony (I smoke). As a result, after a delay in arrival, they settled late in the evening, when you couldn’t see anything.

View of a concrete fence with a roof. and a full utility room under the windows - gas cylinders, empty containers from under something. mud. And stink!!!! ! I ended up smoking in the toilet. There is no beach. There is a sea nearby, across the road. In the morning, the tide is high - you can’t enter, and the sea is dirty. The walkways - like we have somewhere in the most backward village - are broken over a step, swaying. You have to be a climber. They promised to move in 2 days, but where is it!

I have been vacationing abroad every year since 1997, but in Thailand for the first time. I liked it, of course, a mouthful of impressions! But I won't go again. I think that it is interesting for young people here, because. many nightclubs and discos (my daughter is delighted! ); men who came for sex exotics.

A holiday in Pattaya is a holiday in a big, rather dirty city. If you swim near the hotel, then, as in Sochi - the beach is along the road, the sea is dirty, cars are overhead.
In general: far, expensive and dirty. I like Egypt or the Emirates more, most importantly, the sea is gorgeous and you don’t have to drag yourself anywhere to swim.
About the hotel. Bad, of course, but you can live. Just not on the ground floor. There, in general, it’s like in a pioneer camp of the 70s: it’s dark, on the walls warped from moisture and time, gray fiberboard stained from crushed mosquitoes, outdoor wiring, an antediluvian TV, and, most importantly, windows right next to a high wall and a dump. On the second and third floors, the rooms are much better: firstly, it is clear that there has recently been a renovation - it is quite clean. Secondly, there are at least some shelves, chairs, otherwise there is nowhere to put things. There is not a single shelf in the single closet.
Certain advantages, of course, the hotel has:
1. away from the center, i. e. quieter and cleaner.
2. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the center without transfers.
3. there is at least some territory; pool, which always has free sun loungers.
The cons are the following:
1. the room is small,
2. in the shower, water flows directly onto the floor, there is not even a curtain (see photo)
3. half of the balcony is occupied by an air conditioner, from which, of course, hot air comes out, i. e. you can only be on the balcony if the air conditioner is turned off,
4. next to the hotel - a cafe. And those who are used to sleeping with an open window are disturbed by loud music.
5. no beach. If you want to swim, then you have 3 options:
a) for young and physically prepared. Sunbathe on sun loungers near the hotel, and
swim across the road. But here you have to overcome the "miracle ladder"
(see photo).
b) walk along the promenade towards the center to the beach you like for about 15 minutes
20 and sunbathe on paid sun loungers shoulder to shoulder.
c) by tuk-tuk you get to the pier, transfer to a crowded ferry or
boat (which is much faster and more comfortable, but much more expensive) and sail
to the islands.
Separately, I would like to say that I have never, in any country, encountered so much crime. A Thai man attacked me and my daughter at night and took away the bag. They tried to break the chain of a girl from our hotel, the chain did not break, and the poor girl was dragged behind a motorbike for several meters. Quite often they say that they steal money from hotels. In general, be careful.

I decided to give my wife a birthday present and got so hot. . . This is not a 3 * hotel, but a Russian hotel of a regional type. Who gave him 3 * is not clear. The description of the hotel says they have rooms with a sea view, but there simply aren't any. One side overlooks the courtyard of a seedy cafe with a garbage dump, and the second (the best) to the pool.

I decided to give my wife a birthday present and got so hot. . . This is not a 3 * hotel, but a Russian hotel of a regional type. Who gave him 3 * is not clear. The description of the hotel says they have rooms with a sea view, but there simply aren't any. One side overlooks the courtyard of a seedy cafe with a garbage dump, and the second (the best) to the pool. in those rooms, the windows of which overlook the garbage at night, it is simply not possible to fall asleep before 4-5 o'clock in the morning. There is a disco in the cafe. The description also says that there is a garden, but there is none, except for the bushes around the perimeter of the pool. There is no beach nearby, you still need to walk to it (not far though). There is no shower cabin. You will have to wash directly on the floor in the toilet. The floor is tiled - you can slip. The food, as elsewhere in the hotels of Thailand, is monotonous. You can eat everywhere from 30-40 baht to 400-500. The dollar exchange rate is 29 baht. You can even change the ruble for 80 kopecks of theirs. Excursions offered by guides at the hotel have risen in price at times. I think that thanks to the Russian guides, who profit from our brother as much as they can. You almost never meet Thai Russian-speaking guides, and our loafers-loafers are. They know practically nothing and say nothing. District of Jomtien city. Until quite recently it was its outskirts. Full of Russians with all the ensuing consequences - rudeness, obscenity, booze. Almost like in Hurghada. Dirt all around. Drunk Thais in the evenings all the time, which I have never seen before. In general, if you want to completely ruin your vacation, then go there. If we consider an attractive price for two at 63 thousand rubles for 13 days. I don't know to whom I can recommend this hotel.
