Hey OJ, I stayed at SVA last summer. I moved there after the Markland. Great views at the Markland: from the room, from the glass elevator and from the circular resturant on the top floor. HOWEVER, the place is dumpy, the room smelled bad and there were little ants everywhere (especially the bathroom). I could not get out of there fast enough!!! I was on the 5th floor at SVA, no real view except construction between SVA and the beach. You could see the water from the rooftop pool so maybe the 7th (top) floor would offer a view but the beach is pretty far (about 3/4 of a block). Despite the construction, I had no problem with noise. On the good side, the room was great! the bed was great! and the bathroom was great! Everything clean, new and well designed. I had the small room which was plenty big enough. No need to upgrade unless you want a kitchen. The breakfast was not much at all but the location is very good. Near Big C. Great TTM place just a 1/4 block up and I thought Atlantic Bar was best in Pattaya (sorry FLB). In all, I would highly recommend since the clean room, comfy bed and nice pool are priorities for me (I did want a view which is why I tried the Markland).

I almost picked the Sunshine Vista Apt for my stay in July but now I am considering the Markland and Beach View. I like the idea of a nice ocean view and not if SVA has those. I like a clean room, good bed, good a/c and good bathroom. Saw a review saying Markland had low showers and weak water pressure, is that always the case? I see BigDusa stay at the beach view and liked it but does not seem to go back - why? Please post your opinions about all three places.

Arriving June 30 on NWA flight 1 from Toyko. Anyone interested in sharing a taxi?

Jimmybcool, since the review is not posted I am curious. I was planning on staying at the Sunshine Vista Apartments on my next trip. I want a clean place with a balcony that has a view and a pool, SVA seem to fit the bill. How was it? I don't need all the details. Thanks.
