The hotel was chosen on the principle of convenient location, because the purpose of the holiday was frequent trips to the islands and excursions. Sooo well located. It has the status of 3 * + which corresponds to (no more) Very calm, few people, in the rooms: large bed, TV, bar, safe. The furniture is old. The rooms looked all that you can: basically all are the same, a little better in the pool building (there is a DVD and a bedspread, but there is no balcony, the doors open and you are practically in the pool (1.5m)). We lived by the pool in rooms with balconies (it’s convenient to sit with children in the evening), but there is a minus of the 1st floor (these are lizards that chirp and run along the walls.... from the beginning I arrived in shock, then reconciled....). Everything in the room is standard. . . hair dryer, shampoo, soap, gel, etc. Air conditioning worked properly, everything in the room is controlled electronically by a remote control on the walls. Cleaned and changed linen daily. There is a safe, we didn't miss anything. Even jewelry was left somehow in the bathroom, and they found it there. . To the dolphins 10-15 minutes, and there to the center for 10 baht "tuk-tuk". On the northern street you will find the Best supermarket (the cheapest alcohol and products); a little further Teskolotus - TOTAL supermarket (there is a children's playroom with attractions not expensive 20 baht, a labyrinth 40 baht 45 minutes), a pharmacy with Russian-speaking staff. A hotel without frills, if you are used to chic and huge green areas, then you are not here (purely a budget option). The staff does not speak Russian at all. You need a minimum knowledge of English. Upon arrival, they took a 100 bucks deposit (we were not warned about this earlier), they returned it without problems on departure. . There is a free shuttle bus to Big C three times a day (the time is indicated in the information sheets and at the reception). At this hotel, the territory is the perimeter of the pool and the entrance to the hotel, 5 minutes is enough for the entire bypass. There is no entertainment. Swimming is allowed in the pool at night. Breakfast is quite modest: 3 kinds of fruit (watermelon, papaya, pineapple), sausages, flatbread, vegetables, meat, fish, rice, spaghetti, ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, rice soup, pastries. As well as juices, various dry cereals. The coffee is delicious. Milk is insoluble. In the evening we ate on Naklua Street - a large selection of cafes (the average bill per person is 200-300 baht: rice with seafood 70 baht, there are pits 90 baht, beer 60 baht) Sea: 150-200 meters. The beach is municipal, quite neglected. Stony, almost no one swims! The best way to go to the islands! (30 baht one way from the central pier to Ta van beach - you get directly to the beach (to other beaches for 20 baht, but you will also need to go to the island by tuk-tuk 20 baht), we only went to this one because. were with children. The water is clear blue (sunbeds are still paid everywhere, 100 baht each)! On Ta van there is a market if you want to buy something, you can find any product inexpensively, bargain 50% safely. Eat cheap (shrimps 30 baht, huge 15.20cm half a kilo - 400 baht, corn, potatoes for 20-30 baht, a cocktail in pineapple - 200 baht (very tasty). We visited the zoo, orchid park (we took the evening option), monkey island - all excursions are just on top. for those who are not going to stay in the hotel to sleep, swim only in the pool and have breakfast. In Pattaya, the hotel is not so important! Attend excursions, walk, swim on the islands and your vacation will pass unnoticed and exciting! We were satisfied! Have a nice holiday!
