An oasis of calm in Pattaya
I recently reacquainted myself with one of Pattaya’s finest 5 star hotels. This prime hotel site is located between Beach and Second Road alongside Royal Garden Shopping Mall with all its shopping and family attractions.
The hotel was busy despite being low season and I saw, and heard, several American, Middle Eastern, European, South Korean, Japanese and Indian visitors, along with the normal high volume of Thai guests.
My room had a balcony that overlooked the verdant, mature gardens, beautifully manicured with many frangipani trees, the swimming pool, and out across Pattaya bay, ever busy with pleasure boats. My bed was so comfortable that I had trouble getting up each morning! The room and bathroom were well-equipped for a short or long stay.
When I did manage to extricate myself from my bed and stumble down to breakfast, the buffet was extensive and catered to all of the differing visitors palates. The team was efficient and attentive. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the opportunity to try the famed Benihana Japanese Steakhouse, as I was travelling alone, but know very well how excellent the food and entertainment is. I did however, visit The Pantry – great cake! and Dicey Reilly’s Restaurant & Bar. They were both popular and served delicious fare.
