Отличный отель для Паттайи, но далеко от центра Great hotel for Pattaya but far from the center

After Turkey, my husband and I decided to look at Asia and our choice fell on Thailand. Wonderful country. Since we decided to go in July, and they have winter there, the most suitable resorts were: Pattaya, Koh Chang, Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. We were advised by Ambassador Ocean in Pattaya. It should be said right away that you should not count on something very cool.
1. It is very hot and humid outside, very cold in the room. I am not afraid of air conditioners and cold winds, BUT the first three days we survived in the room. Because a strong temperature difference and besides, the air conditioner was not regulated at all. That is, either it blows or it doesn't. If you open the balcony to warm up, immediately all the windows and glass will fog up from the humidity. In general, you need to get used to.
2. Room service was good. We lived on the 9th floor and somewhere around 10-11 they came to us to clean up, but we never saw them. Always new towels, soap, shampoos, gels, threads, a needle, a cap, slippers, coffee, tea and two bottles of water.

3. Few people speak English, especially Russian. It overshadowed when something interested and wanted to clarify.
4. The room has a safe. Once I forgot to close it, but no one touched anything there. Sometimes the equipment was left in the room quietly and no one touched anything either.
5. Clean beach. This is really a huge plus of the fact that the hotel is located 15 km from the center. There are ebb and flow, but
it's like that everywhere. The sand is clean, the sea is unclear, but no dirt or debris. There are no sun loungers on the beach, but you can sunbathe near the pools. There are a lot of them in the hotel, especially the Ocean building has a beautiful pool with very good sunbeds! By the way, not so many people. The place has always been good. Also in the pool, which is the largest and closest to the sea.
6. Breakfast. At the very beginning of the holiday, we were given coupons for all days. Breakfasts for every taste. Eat as soon as you can. From fruits there are papaya, watermelon and melon. There is also a fruit mix for yogurt. In general, a lot of food.
7. Opposite the hotel across the road there are rows where local cafes are located. We often ate there, well, or ate in the center. Food is acceptable, prices are generally good. Even cheaper than downtown. Very tasty necks (40 baht) right here (we tried a lot of them in different places, honestly! ) Necks are more expensive, but much tastier and the ice does not feel that way. Also delicious ice cream with coconut milk (20 baht).
8. Also opposite the hotel there are many places where you can get a massage. 200 baht - foot massage and Thai massage and 300 baht - oil massage. In the center exactly the same, if that. We checked.
9. Since the hotel is very far away, then take a card at any currency exchange office, they are there on the street and go to the center on a white tuk-tuk (songteo). Well, after all, I’ll say that don’t talk to the driver, but just get into the back.

Tuk-tuks turn into taxis after 22:00, so be on time before 10. By the way, this is a minus of the hotel that you can’t walk around Pattaya in the evening (Well, or pay for a taxi (
In the center it is more profitable to change course. Well, just walk around the city itself. True, there are practically no sidewalks, so you need to walk carefully and keep an eye on your bag just in case.
10. In the hotel itself, we ate only once on the last day. We ate at the Atrium. I would like to note that everything was very tasty, but still a little expensive at a rate of 1 to 2.
11. And of course the last - no matter how the guide frightens - this is his job. Travel yourself, look for cheaper excursions, we bought at tc24. club/ and don't let these hotel guides spoil your mood : )
