I fly several times a year to Thailand but it was the first time I stayed in Pattaya.
I choose DUSIT RESORT and I was not disappointed for location is convenient with direct access to beach and at some minutes walk from Mail Commercial Center, local markets and so on.
It is easy to go downtown and come back by public taxi (10 Bath even if driver try to ask 20 or 40 Bath when it is a " farang " : foreigner).
I booked seaview room with breakfast included. Room is large enough (even if not very large) and bathroom rather small (no separate cubicle shower). If they are not brand new the room was perfectly clean. Morning breakfasts were great (similar as the ones in SHANGRI-LA in BANGKOK. In evening if you want to stay in hotel there are 3 restaurants with prices according to the quality.
There was not too much people around the two swimming pools.
BBQ Buffet on saturday evening are a must (not expensive at all : some 40 Usd)with everything you can wish including lobsters and so on.
The only problem (not the DUSIT one) is the cost of the travel from SUVARBANHUMI airport (BANGKOK International airport).
A.O.T (Airport of Thailand) limousine service charge some 2 600 THB (some 80 Usd) and driver sometimes try to ask you some 100 Bath more (I complain to A.O.T without any answer). Local taxi are not better to go back to airport and the promised " taxi meter " is NEVER a taxi meter.
I use for the final return to airport when leaving the " DUSIT SHUTTLE ".
The DUSIT SHUTTLE go from DUSIT PATTAYA to DUSIT in BANGKOK (500 Bath : 15 Usd) where I stayed before taking a taxi meter to go to airport to fly back home. DUSIT SHUTTLE is a very convenient and confortable van of some 9 seats which leaves PATTAYA by 10:30 in the morning.
There is AVIS desk in DUSIT but prices are also very high (3 000 Bath : 90 Usd) to drive back to airport (one way of course).
DUSIT PATTAYA is a fair choice for PATTAYA and if you do not want to have lunch or dinner there are plenty of restaurant veey close or easy to reach for 10 Bath : 0,30 Usd).
