Was recommended this place and was pleasantly surprised that it was as good as value as we expected if not more. We actually stayed here back in May 2009. We stayed for 5 days. Was a nice clean and modern hotel. The pool areas were well presented and clean. I can't remember what we paid but I would be shocked if you could get better value for money in Pattaya. it is a little bit off the main drag, but thats probably a positive thing.

I've stayed at Areca lodge for 2 nights and couldnt ask for more. Amazing room, 2 swimming pools, and always smiling staff. Further more, I forgot my glasses in the taxi that took me to Bangkok, and they made sure to send it back to Israel. Highly recommended.
The room was nice, but mold on bathroom ceiling. A little expensive for what I got. I wanted the gym but it was difficult to use as there was no AC and I couldn't stay in there for too long, though I went in the hot humid season, so if you go in the hi season it wont be as bad I guess.
The breakfasts were good, and the staff were very pleasant to both me and my guests.
Stay here for 1 night, which is not enough as we spent most of the time hanging out . We should have spent some time relaxing in the hotel, use the pool, and enjoy our drinks at the room's balcony.
Front desk staffs are very helpful in showing the direction to the nearby attractions. They can speak good english.
Our deluxe pool view room is very clean and bed is comfortable. No noise disturbance from the bars outside of the hotel so we could sleep and sound.
Strategic location which can easily accessible to all attractions by public transport or tuk tuk. The new shopping mall, Festive Central Mall is just about 10 minutes walking distance away. Walking street is about 15 minutes walking distance from the hotel. Walk to 2nd road and get on to tuk tuk by paying 10bht per person during day time weekdays and you can get to any place along the 2nd road including Alcazar Bacaret Show.
Lovely hotel,4 starish which is good for me,Splashed out as it was only a few nights,standard room was about 1400 thb per night (april) does go up around songkran,Which i would not recommend in Pattaya,Water chucking goes on for about 10 days in pattaya(Only 1 or 2 days in real Thailand).Anyway staff very profesional rooms very clean,food was poor and coffee was worse (Only Regret)" 2 swimming pools,spa ,massage etc short walk to beach .Ideally situated for bars and such.You can get baht bus to walking street 10 baht.Hotel first guest is free any more you have to pay i think it was 300 baht ?
The hotel is not on the beach as many others are but it is very close. The distance from the beach makes the hotel calm and peaceful. It is spread over a large areas and has multiple wings. The quality of experience will depend on the wing you choose. The new wings are the best and are luxurious and very spacious while the older ones are quite normal.
The staff is very cooperative and helpful. The service quality is good. The swimming pool is good and so is the quality of food. There are plenty of food options close by.
Booking in advance might be a good idea as it receives quite a number of tourists. Besides it might help in getting a room of your choice.
A good experience.
