+ + + Holiday Inn Pattaya brings the sea right to my doorstep + + +
Whenever my partner and I have a long weekend, our first thought is to relax at a beachfront hotel or resort. This time was extra special because I was selected by the "พักสบาย" Facebook page's new reviewer search program to visit and photograph the Holiday Inn Pattaya for a review. Both my partner and I had been wanting to stay at this hotel, so it was the perfect opportunity for my first SR review.
Disclaimer: I want to emphasize that everything I have written is based on my genuine experience and has not been exaggerated in any way. If you choose to follow my approach, you can expect to achieve similar results as I have described in my review.
This morning, I drove from my home in Ang Thong Province, taking Asian Highway 32 and then Motorway 7.
Enjoying the scenery along the way.
Despite the occasional stretches of open road, I was unable to increase my speed due to the high risk of my head exploding.
A small hand from the person next to me slapped down.
I served as the driver, driving the car steadily. She slept soundly the whole way, just like before noon.
You woke up to find me already here at the Holiday Inn Pattaya.
The Holiday Inn Pattaya is located on North Pattaya Beach, directly on the beachfront, separated only by a small road, Beach Road.
The hotel is situated near the Dolphin Roundabout. If you arrive at the roundabout, you will see the hotel building standing tall nearby.
The hotel is divided into two buildings: the Bay Tower, which was the first to be built, and the newer building.
The rear building is known as the Executive Tower.
Check-in for accommodation will be separated into two buildings. Guests staying in each building must check in at their respective building.
For this trip, we chose to stay at the Bay Tower building.
Note: The original text is empty. There is nothing to translate.
The lobby of this hotel is expansive, encompassing both the first and second floors. This spacious design creates an airy and welcoming atmosphere, avoiding any sense of claustrophobia.
IHG Rewards Club members will have a dedicated check-in area, separate from the general guest registration.
I would like to suggest that if you are staying here, please take the time to become a member.
The first advantage of this card is that it is free to apply for and comes with a variety of benefits.
For example, free high-speed internet access in the room.
And you may receive a later check-out time than usual, but this will depend on the availability of remaining rooms.
Located near the lobby is a bakery called Flow.
The space offers a variety of refreshments, including cakes, bread, coffee, smoothies, and sandwiches, as well as computers and printers for your convenience.
Available for free.
This includes the ability to request the Wi-Fi password from the staff for use.
Notably, from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, there will be a 50% discount on cakes, bringing the price down to around 50 baht per slice. This is a significant reduction that may be of interest to many.
Naturally, when she came across this sale, she couldn't resist trying it out. She ordered a lychee smoothie and a piece of cake, which she found to be delicious.
Not overly sweet.
My room this time is an Ocean View King Suite.
The apartment is divided into two rooms: a living room and a bedroom.
If your family has a small child, they can sleep on the sofa in this room.
For those who need to bring work to do, this room also has a dedicated workspace.
Let's take a look at the bedroom.
The Holiday Inn Pattaya truly brings the ocean to your doorstep.
The room offers stunning sea views from every corner, whether you are sitting or lying down.
The pillow section also offers a choice between soft and firm options, indicated by green labels.
My wife seems to be very tired. She's even squinting at the camera. Haha.
May I take a thrilling photo with you?
The bathroom features a clear separation between the wet and dry areas.
Two sinks are provided, along with a large mirror, to avoid congestion during peak hours.

Soak in the view of North Pattaya Sea.
"What a view! My wife says, 'Finale!'"
My favorite rain shower is here. I'll stand under it tonight to my heart's content.
Let's step out onto the balcony and take in the full view of the sea.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
From this vantage point, we can observe the entirety of Pattaya Bay, stretching from North Pattaya's sweeping curve to the headland of Khao Phra Tamnak.
If Khao Phra Tamnak is the viewpoint in South Pattaya, this place would be the viewpoint in North Pattaya.
Every evening, as the sun sets and the wind dies down, the main swimming pool of this hotel becomes crowded with people who come to use its services. I am one of those who never miss this opportunity.
Bay Tower features three swimming pools.
The swimming pool is located on the 4th floor of Building 2. It is divided into two sections: an adult pool and a children's pool. An additional pool for children is located on the 1st floor in front of the hotel.
A small, colorful swimming pool for your little boss. It should be a hit with the young ones.
Let's take a look at the local boss. His face is very serious.
The main swimming pool of this hotel is designed to make us feel like we are swimming in the sea.
This location also offers stunning sunset views over the ocean.
While she enjoyed diving and swimming, I was engrossed in capturing the beautiful scenery.
For those who have no plans for the evening, I recommend swimming and watching the sunset at this pool.
Alternatively, you can enjoy the sunset from the balcony of your room. For couples, this romantic atmosphere is not to be missed.
It would be a romantic sight to behold.
The sun will soon set below the horizon, and the various seafaring activities will begin to bring tourists back to shore as darkness descends.
Before dinner, I would like to sit and admire the twilight view. The full view of the sea is breathtaking.
We strive to preserve this atmosphere in our memories as vividly as possible. We long to remain seated here together in tranquility for an extended period.
The view of the sea from North Pattaya and the salt fields is a sight that we rarely get to see.
For our dinner tonight, we dined at the Rooftop Bar, located on the 25th floor of the Executive Tower.
Today's menu is called Romantic Seafood Platter.
To be served with slices of whole wheat bread and chilled wine in an ice bucket.
The first plate of bread was served, and in no time, it was in her hands. She was munching away with gusto, and then she had the audacity to tell me she was worried about gaining weight. Oh, honey, it's too late for that.
Her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she pointed at me, threatening dire consequences.
This cocktail, which I ordered separately, has a hint of alcohol and is quite delicious.

She said the seafood dipping sauce was incredibly spicy and delicious.
The shrimp was incredibly fresh, so much so that it was delicious even without dipping sauce.
Enjoying a glass of chilled wine, savoring fresh seafood, and watching the sunset together as a couple can be a truly romantic experience.
Full and satisfied, let's take in the view of Pattaya City from the 25th floor.
Besides the beautiful sea view, the view of Pattaya city at night is equally stunning.
The Executive Club, located inside the building, offers breakfast, snacks, fruits, tea, and coffee throughout the day.
For guests staying on the 20th floor and above.
Guests staying on floors below the 20th floor can access the facilities, but they must pay an additional fee to purchase this privilege.
With separate check-in and check-out points for guests, the hotel offers a convenient experience.
For example, Sundays have a high check-out rate, which helps us avoid long waiting times.
The Executive Tower's 6th floor houses a breakfast room for guests staying on floors 1-20.
Restaurant name: East Coast Kitchen
The restaurant is open all day and primarily serves A LA CARTE or made-to-order dishes.
The restaurant boasts stunning views of the Pattaya coastline, creating a delightful ambiance for your dining experience.
+++ However, what I would like to recommend is the "Parents and 4 Children" privilege, which allows parents to dine at this restaurant with their four children.
Ordering from the regular menu, one parent will be entitled to two free children's meals.
Therefore, if both parents come together, they can bring up to 4 children to eat for free.
Children must be 12 years old or younger.
In collaboration with Nutrition Australia, the hotel has developed a healthy menu specifically designed for children.
This implies that all food items will prioritize health, reducing sugar, salt, and fat content. For instance, French fries will be offered in a healthier version.
Typically, we offer deep-fried options, but for this menu, we provide steamed or boiled dishes instead. Young ladies can choose from a wide variety of dishes, including desserts, ice cream, and smoothies.
I think it's definitely worth it.
My partner and I don't have any children yet, so we just ordered some rice crackers to snack on.
This morning, I woke up early to photograph the breakfast room at G Cafe in the Bay Tower building.
If I come down later, I'm afraid it will disturb the other guests. As for you, you'll probably be sleeping soundly in your room.
The breakfast room of the Bay Tower building is located on the 4th floor, the same floor as the swimming pool.
Outdoor seating is also available for those who wish to enjoy the cool morning breeze or watch their little ones swim in the children's pool.
A wide variety of breakfast options are available, including sausages, bread, cereal, grains, salads, and other snacks. All ingredients are of the highest quality.
The egg station offers a wide variety of egg dishes, including fried eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, and even boiled eggs.
The hotel offers a diverse breakfast menu to cater to its international clientele.
From what I've seen, there's kimchi, dim sum, and food for people of Indian descent.
Cereal for mixing with milk also comes with additional grains that can be scooped and added to a separate plate.
And there are also dried sunflower seeds that you can add to the mix. There are also two types of milk to choose from: soy milk and skimmed milk.
In the late afternoon, we had an appointment for a foot massage at T Tree Spa on the 5th floor of Bay Tower.
The package is called "Sparkling Foot Massage for Two" and includes a complimentary bottle of wine.
The reason is that if there is alcohol in the body while performing a massage, it will improve blood circulation.
This foot massage package does not include a room, allowing you to enjoy the stunning view of Pattaya Bay from this location.
Feel free to let me know your desired level of intensity.
After I showed her the work of the elder sister who was giving a foot massage for a while, I also ordered her to do it like this. It's so comfortable.
Finally, I have power over my wife. Let me show off a little.
This evening, my partner and I dined at Terrazzo, an outdoor restaurant located in front of the hotel on Route 1. The restaurant serves dinner.
As an appetizer, the pizza menu begins with bread served with a dipping sauce to whet your appetite.
A must-try menu item is the pizza, which is freshly made by the chef from scratch, starting from kneading the dough to baking it in the oven.
The order can be placed for two pages on the same tray. However, today I ordered a single-page version, which is the Tom Yum Goong page. It is beautifully styled in an oval shape, making it very appealing.
Vibrant Salad Greens
My favorite dish, spicy seafood spaghetti, was a bit too spicy, but still delicious. Perhaps if it were less spicy, it wouldn't be as flavorful.
I asked the staff if foreigners could handle this level of spiciness. They replied that the chef always asks whether the customer is Thai or foreign before preparing the dish.
The seasoning will be different.
Before returning home, I stopped by to visit Kids Club.
The Kids' Club offers X-BOX games and craft activities for young children.
The activities will change every month, and children who participate will receive a certificate of completion.
The elder sibling is painting the younger sibling's nails.
I have obtained permission from the parents of the child in these images.
This pair of siblings are so bright, innocent, and adorable.
Oh no, I have to go home tomorrow already? I don't want to leave yet. Does anyone else feel the same way when they travel?
The Holiday Inn Pattaya is a 4-star hotel with a contemporary design inspired by the local natural environment, namely the sea. Located on North Pattaya Beach, the hotel has approximately 600 rooms across two buildings. The rooms are arranged in a herringbone pattern, ensuring that every room has a sea view. Guests can choose between rooms with a view of Central Pattaya, stretching to Khao Phra Tamnak, or rooms with a view of North Pattaya and Na Kluea.
Tourists come as families with young children, as couples on romantic getaways, or for business conferences and seminars. This destination seems to cater to the needs of all groups.

All staff, from the security guards to the check-in staff, restaurant staff, spa staff, kids' club staff, and all other parts of the hotel, were very friendly. At first, I thought it was because I was an SR, but after I secretly observed, the staff treated other guests the same way they treated me.
The lack of a bidet in the Bay Tower's bathroom may cause minor inconvenience to guests. However, the Executive Tower is equipped with bidets.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
After the cold weather at the beginning of the year made Thai people shiver all over, now the hot season is starting to creep in. If you don't have any plans to go anywhere, the Holiday Inn Pattaya is another interesting option.
