“Million Dollar View Hotel”

I first stayed here in 2006 and have returned now in middle age. I found that the hotel has been renovated in many areas. What impressed me the most was the guest room, which has been beautifully updated and is very comfortable, with the important aspect of a view that can be described as "ocean in your face" (compared to seaside hotels I've stayed at in Pattaya, most only have a distant sea view unless you pay a lot for the most expensive Oceanfront room, which would exceed my budget). Here, the Oceanfront room is at a great price, and when you open the balcony door, the sea is right in front of you, allowing you to sit and listen to the sound of the waves. The hotel has seven swimming pools, with the most beautiful one being the glass pool that offers a panoramic sea view. Swimming here is a delight, and the water temperature is just right. Additionally, the hotel has a fitness center with plenty of equipment and machines, along with a squash court, tennis court, and swimming pools all in the same area (the fitness center is a bit far, requiring a golf cart ride). There are several dining rooms; one I tried and loved is the Indian restaurant Maharani (it has an amazing view and the food is incredibly delicious), and Breezeo, which is right by the sea. The hotel and restaurant staff are lovely and provide great service. I was very impressed and plan to stay again.
