This time, having read good notes and reviews about this hotel, we decided to rest in Pinnacle. The location of the hotel - almost on the very edge of the city (southern part) did not frighten us at all. We are not one of those who will drive to Walking Street every day and explore every shop and alley in the center of Pattaya. Much more important for us is comfortable accommodation, good service, a relaxing holiday, and proximity to the sea. Not every hotel in Pattaya can boast such a beautiful beach: the sandy strip is quite wide and long. Yes, the entrance to the beach is free, as in all of Pattaya. But the sunbeds are for hotel guests only. In general, the territory of the complex is quite large and green, well-groomed (lawn, "green corners"). There are separate swimming pools for adults, there is an area for children (a playground), a children's pool. Volleyball court (on the beach), tennis court and gym for outdoor enthusiasts. Massages work.
The villas stand apart.
The infrastructure near the hotel is not particularly developed, it is represented by a few cafes, a pharmacy and Thai massage. For us, this is not a minus, just for more than 10 days of rest, I wanted to visit more different cafes, try many new dishes, different fruits. Therefore, we often went to the nearest Ambassador Hotel, which is full of various cafes, markets and other entertainment. Walking to the Ambassador is easier along the beach than along the highway. The road from the hotel to the highway is not entirely successful, through swamps. We also went to Tesco Lotus and the Big C shopping center. Tuk-tuks run quite often, but not until late. Late in the evening, you can easily leave the entrance to the Ambassador Hotel, where a whole string of taxi drivers line up.

The rooms are wonderful, we got in the new building. Spacious. Equipped with everything you need. View of the pool, two sun loungers on the balcony.
You will have to leave a deposit, in baht, we already went through this in the last hotel, then spent it in Dutik. From my own experience, I was convinced that the exchange rate in the city center is slightly higher.
It was quiet around the hotel and in the hotel, I write off everything for the off season. Of the guests there were Thais, Europeans, Russians - a little, Asians with families (either Thais themselves, or Koreans). The atmosphere is relaxing. Last year, while relaxing in a hotel in Jomtien, there were more people both near the pool and on the beach.
The staff is competent, responsive, but quite principled, we waited for 14:00 to check in. Such rules, but why not make people happy, I don't think there were no rooms ready.
Choosing Pinnacle, you will reward yourself with a wonderful holiday in a picturesque corner of Pattaya. Only remoteness from the main road and not very developed infrastructure near the hotel can cause complaints.
But there is plenty of entertainment in the southern part of the city: the Oceanarium, the Snake Farm, visiting the Floating Market, the Tropical Garden, the new Water Park, of course, it is more profitable and faster to travel with excursions, because the cost of both tickets and transfer from the hotel and back. Traveling by yourself will be more expensive and longer. As always, we used the services of a Nika Travel guide, Alexander Gromyko, because we are satisfied with the prices, the choice of excursions and the quality of service (Pegas turned out to be very expensive, there is an agency opposite the hotel, but prices are also slightly overpriced). This time there were not many excursions, but as always, all five points. Thanks for the new experience!


Those who seek will find cons, there is no limit to perfection. The hotel turned out to be an acceptable option for me at the offered price for a quiet family vacation with the opportunity to relax both on the territory of the hotel and find sights and entertainment outside of it.
We will definitely return to Pattaya and experiment with hotels again, because the best is known in comparison.
