Уютный отель со своими нюансами Cozy hotel with its own nuances

We stayed at the hotel in February. We are satisfied with the rest for 5, the hotel for 4. The hotel has its own quirks. Well, firstly, the deposit is only in baht. The exchange rate at the hotel is very unfavorable and there is only one exchanger nearby, which you still have to walk to, God forbid that it works. Therefore, I recommend everyone to change money at least with the guide on the bus, although they also make money on the course, but not like at the airport or at the reception. The most favorable rate will be in the city in yellow exchangers.
Where to spend this deposit? You can eat and drink at the hotel and write down the bill to the room, then the amount will be deducted from the deposit. Although, the restaurant in the hotel is much more expensive than in the city and in the Thai markets, but sometimes too lazy to go somewhere and ate at the hotel. Well prepared, delicious.
The hotel is aimed at the Russian contingent (in the bulk), there are a lot of signs and announcements in Russian, the staff understands Russian a little (reception), but if there is any problem, then they suddenly stop understanding. Fines are provided for everything here - God forbid you lose the key to the safe, break something or get dirty!

This is the only hotel in the area located on the first line, so all the guests from neighboring hotels go here (many hotels of the same owner), so there can be a problem with sunbeds. Well, how so, we specifically chose a hotel on the first line and on you, we can’t find a free sunbed, it was occupied by those who bought a trip to the top three on the 3rd line and came here (because the hotels have an agreement among themselves). Also, the same guests do not disdain to swim in "our" pool.
The pool is not bad, but when relaxing with children on the pool, keep in mind that there are very deep zones here (1.8 m), so that the eye and eye so that the child does not plump there.
Around the pool is a beautiful area, a lot of flowering and fragrant trees. The beach is not bad, the views are simply stunned - on the temple of Truth.
But the part of the territory to the right of the sea is simply stupid, some kind of forest with trees and not a single bench. It’s worth somehow ennobling it or something, organizing recreation areas, it’s empty in vain. The trees there grow interesting with aerial roots.
We had a hotel room with a sea view in the main building. I advise everyone to book rooms with a sea view, since you are checking into a hotel on the coast. The furniture in the room is from the past, but the equipment is not bad. Everything you need is there: a tea set, baths, a bathrobe and slippers, there was even an umbrella. Internet only at the reception (as a result, we connected the package to a local SIM card and were everywhere with the Internet).
From the hotel there is one path, along which there are several cafes, fruit shops and shops, on the same side there is an exchange office. By alleys you can reach the highway (Naklua) - the road to the city (by tuk-tuk for 10 baht). Almost near the Orthodox church, we found a Thai market.
The location of the hotel allows you to get to the fish market. I advise everyone to visit - everything is splashing in troughs, they will immediately cook for you for 30 baht on the grill, you can sit in the park nearby to eat.
For other entertainment, you need to go to the center - this is Walking Street and shopping centers. And, of course, be sure to have excursions, there are so many of them in Pattaya, it’s hard to decide right away. I would like to visit everywhere.

At home, I started looking for trips, and of all the local firms, I leaned more towards Nika Travel. Upon arrival at the hotel, we contacted the manager, he came to our hotel, we made an advance payment, the rest was paid when boarding the bus. We took tours of the action and got a free trip to the Laguna (how great it is there! ).
All liked it! I will not describe, for a long time. They didn’t take the guide from the hotel, it’s not profitable at all (although he says our prices are lower than on the “street” and “promotions”, but there is no benefit in the compartment), we never take excursions from a tour operator, from local firms always better quality and price.
Holidays in Pattaya are interesting - we liked it, there is a desire to return, maybe even to this hotel, although its policy makes it a little tense on vacation (deposit, no internet in the room, safe at the reception).
