Гранд Херитаж Grand Heritage

Were on New Year's Eve, in Tae, not for the first time. The hotel is NEW and that probably says it all. The rooms have tiled floors, so the feeling is always clean. After the maids came in: the floor was wet, they always washed it. There are no complaints about cleaning. When I did not forget, I left 20 baht. The staff is always smiling. Not much, they know the most necessary things in Russian. For example SCALES. They are in the hotel, you need to ask the boys who are in the lobby. And the scales, oh, how useful to us. We flew with the North wind, it was very strict - luggage 20 kg, hand luggage 5. Laptops, video-photographic equipment, handbags were not weighed. They were forced to shift from luggage to hand luggage, many threw fruit. I don't know how much the transfer fee is. Thanks to the weights, I got 39.3kg for two. We lived in the main building - 7 floors, they have it at number 3, the room number was numbered like this: building 3.5th floor, 14th room. So, if they give you the number 3514, refuse immediately: there is a DOOR between this number and the number 3515 !! ! Without any soundproofing! young people settled, probably from Moscow-Petersburg, they did not want to sleep at one in the morning. Guests came to them, for three nights they fit in at 5 in the morning. I don’t mind, everyone came to rest, but the lack of soundproofing... thanks to our guide Ekaterina (PEGAS), she organized the relocation of us to another room, then in English, no boom-boom. Room 3602 had no doors. For the best view, you need to take rooms from 01 to 10 and floors 5-7.
Near Pattaya Park, or rather the park of this hotel with fun slides that rumble and squeal, but in general, such a neighborhood did not interfere. Air conditioners blow decently, you can't leave them working all night. We slept with an open balcony, though the mosquitoes bit us. people at night by the pool did not fool around, it was quiet. Quiet music starts playing at 6 am. The entire period of stay sang New Year's songs children's choir (in English, of course). I think it's not in the New Year season, the music changes
Breakfast, as in all hotels, is always bacon, eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, juices, vegetables, fruits, pastries, rice, soups and a couple of dishes changed, those of the type with meat. In the restaurant, a salad from 200 baht, the second from 400. True, the portion is decent.

The territory is well-groomed, plumeria blooming everywhere, we swam in the pool in the evening (no one forbade it), the aroma was fabulous (if there was no breeze). And with the breeze, it’s also interesting - a building with a Thai style - on the roofs . . I don’t know what to call them - not the main building, but let’s say the protruding part of the hall... bells, not the “wind music”, but bronze, very melodic .
Next, the pool, by the standards of Thai hotels, is huge! very clean, pleasantly smelling of chlorine (and how could it be without it? a guarantee that there is no infection, this smell soothes me so much). It is not poisonous, no, it is slightly felt. Even with a long swim in the pool (I do not mean, of course, children who can jump into it for hours), there is no characteristic effect on the skin. Sun loungers with umbrellas, but not many. Upon arrival, there were few people in the hotel, a third of Europeans, a third of Chinese, but by the 30th, compatriots arrived - in the morning, sun loungers occupied with towels, on which no one could appear in a day, we take two towels, why are we going to lie on one, spread two! The sun loungers were all occupied, there were not enough towels. After a couple of days, the Thais entered the situation, everything was fine with the towels.
The sea is outside the hotel right away, which is very convenient. we lay by the pool on sun loungers and went to the sea to swim, again, until the people at the hotel increased. The sun loungers were 50 baht, the people were added 80. The beach is generally clean, the sea is normal, bright at high tide, muddy at low tide. I believe that we have a rare body of water that has such transparency, except perhaps mountain rivers and lakes. With my height of 170 cm, I could see my legs, there was no household garbage. On the beach, of course, merchants do not bother much, "madam buy", you say no, they move on. Of course, it’s better when no one bothers, and you don’t have to say “no” every minute, which is why I chose sun loungers on the territory, and swimming in the sea.
Get from the hotel to the city by taxi. I think if you find 100 thousand to go to this hotel, there will be another thousand to ride in a taxi. It didn’t cause me anxiety or inconvenience, I still don’t know how to ride their tuk-tuks: it’s not clear where I’m going and I don’t navigate the terrain to understand where I can get off it, but I calmly drove by taxi. 150-200 baht, this is to the center. Don’t give it MORE, taxis hang out at the festival, ask for 400-500 baht . . you step aside, wave to an empty tuk-tuk and it’s 150 baht, if you bargain, you’ll take it.

Of the main inconveniences of the hotel, a kilometer (maybe a little less) on foot, you have to go to the nearest cafes (on Russian street, which goes from Pattaya Park). where they sell fruit. For some reason they don’t sell green pineapples there (if the Thais understood me correctly, and I call them pineapples patavier, but I didn’t check with other merchants for correctness). Sell ​ ​ yellow oblong, and yellow round. Greens are sold only near the Mike shopping mall, but expensive - 40 baht per kg, but they are very juicy and already transparent!... saliva flowed from the memory. Be sure to try these pineapples. They differ from yellows (yellows can also be green) in that they are smoother, and the yellow variety is very bumpy.
There will be questions both about the hotel and the country, write, I will definitely answer
