The rooms at pool level are far more convenient and quiet but more expensive. I walked down towards the beach to Areca Lodge to pay 200 to use huge pool and enjoy buffet breakfast
Thank you for your comment. Areca lodge looks very nice. I understand for golfers they do a special deal. We are not golf players, but we must try it sometime. I believe it is alot more expensive than Opey de Place
@@hiddenworldjohnandindie8293 I made the mistake of staying there. The room actually vibrated from the a/c compressor out on the balcony. Lovely small room but badly designed environmentally. The pool and the large buffet were the best parts…
Im sure if you have been to Pattaya a number of times alot of hotels would become familiar. But for someone coming for the first time it might be a good option
Yes seems a good run of the mill place, not far from the action!!...and cheap enough. I've been coming to Pattaya for 30 years on/off now. Never had a problem with cheaper hotels. For those who want luxury...north Pattaya 4000+ baht a night well out of the action 🤣🤣🤣.(Lowe de khun).
It really is true that often thise oaying more miss the best bits. In Agra i datyed many times in a hotel that was £5 per night. True it was quite scruffy, but itbwas right next to tge Taj Mahal. You could even sleep on the roof and watch the sunset come up over the Taj. The lucury, expensive hotels were not even in view of the Taj and had no view of the Taj. Cheaper places can often be more quirky, fun and are run by families that care. I love the Opey de Place personally
I spent 2 months there a few years back and about $1,000.00 a month, I wouldn't say cheap. But I also went back a few months later and stayed another month. So I didn't mind it that much
Had some food, which was ok but have so many options in that area that we ate out mainly. Totally agree about the balcony although i liked seeing over it easily, i could see it being dodgy for someone who was drunk or young kids.
Perhaps you could post details of these hotels on here for the interest of viewers and we could then go and review these places. Thabk you for your comment
Nothing specific stayed there myself definitely no hot water good position for night life but definitely not worth the price.. I stayed a month ago was annoyed no hot water and average rooms we'll worn
@@hiddenworldjohnandindie8293 Room was balcony room and shower and hot water were nil.. As for hotel room and price around 1000 Bhatt I payed average hotel.. Put it this way been back a few times in the area never stayed there again and reception staff were very off it very unpleasant looks.
Thank you for your comment. You are right the location is fantastic, but I have never found insects around the pool to be any problem at all. In most off Thailand mosquitos only seem to be a problem for about 30 mins to an hour around the time of dusk
Actually we didnt go to bed before until 2am moat nights so hardly noticed the noise. The back rooms are well away from the street so woukd be better, but i enjoyed sitting on the balcony with the son going down watching the scenes below.
