Just read some of the reviews on this place and they look very encouraging, but can someone tell me exactly where it is, says opposite soi 10 on 2nd road, but I don`t recall seeing any hotels around soi 10 and I`ve been 16 times!!! :D

pm mike (ting tong) he stays there all the time and loves the palce,

the day i stoped in the elevator wasn't working and it was 100 degrees with 100% humidity in the lobby. the room they showed me"ok", 600bt a night.

yes it is on soi10 across second road up a few places, the entrance is maybe 200m up the soi on the right (south). i think mike said he negociated a 500bt for a couple weeks during low season.

oh soi 10 does not "line-up" going across second road, it jogges down to the south aways, it's kinda across from the beer bar complex

Pattaya mad, if you walk north past the Apex hotel on 2nd road then turn right up soi honey inn it is 30 yards on your right.

 

Stayed there over christmas and the new year,great location and a nice but small pool on the 3rd floor.

 

Great value for money and everthing runs very smoothly, good value restaurant on ground floor, directly opposite the main entrance is Uncle Charlies which serves the best steak in pattaya.

The Second Road enterance onto Soi Honey Inn, where the Bay Breeze Hotel is located, has a (green and orange) Seven/Eleven on one corner and a bank on the other.

 

If you are arriving in a baht bus look ahead to your right. You will pass the Apex and Diana hotels on the right maybe 15 second before you get to the Seven/Eleven store. So when you see one of these hotels get ready to push the buzzer to stop and get off the bus. It's about a fifty paces (or yards) from Second Road to the hotel steps.

 

I've had an inexperienced taxi driver (not baht bus driver) who had never heard of Bay Breeze. When I told him to take me to the Apex Hotel, he could do that. Upon arriving at the Apex, I directed him foward the next hundred yards to the Bay Breeze Hotel.

 

The only thing that ever bothered me at the Bay Breeze was the one time that I was given a room that had twin beds pushed together with twin mattresses atop. If you find a problem particular to one room, it is easy enough to ask for another room. If you spill some soda on the wash basin, you'll likely find a party of very small ants celebrating their find the next morning. It is a good value for money.

 

I like a bit of variety; so I do not stay at the Bay Breeze Hotel every day of my vacations in Pattaya. Last visit I stayed at TP Guesthouse, a pleasant, small, German-run hotel, on Soi Seven off Jomtien Beach Road. At 400 baht a night it was another good value and suited me. But since it is too far from Pattaya for most FLBers, there's no point in mentioning its pros and cons. Uh.. Don't tell everbody, but Elvis is running a shophouse beer bar about fifty yards from the TP Guest House. Has a big Elvis sign out front.

Keeping my options open here, but I made a reservation last Tuesday and still no reply up till now, seems very odd if they want our custom doesn`t it?

So you haven't made a reservation at all then

Reservations are a tricky thing. Last year, in the middle of March, I just showed up at the Intown Holiday (have never had a problem before just showing up their), I didn't think too much about as their were no holidays happening. But when I got their it was obvious something was happening in Pattaya as the traffic to get into town was horrible. It turns out the international music festivel was that weekend. I was shit out of luck at the Intown, Bay Breeze and even the shit hole Apex. I eventual got the shittest room in the shitty Honey hotel. I moved the next day.

 

I don't know if making a reservation would have helped though because many Thais come down from Bangkok for the music and being a Farang with a reservation is about as useful as tits on a boar hog.

 

My plan this year is to have my favorite travel agent, with whom I personally know (advice: get to know a local travel agent and bring them a little gift each visit it does wonders) and I will have her book the room. That way if the hotel fcuks me over then she will do her best to get me something else with out me having to walk all over town in 40 + degress on my first day.

Hi, I will be Pattaya Bound in October and the last couple of years I have been staying at the Areca Lodge Soi Diana. However to save a few Baht I am booked into the Natural Beach Hotel near Mike shopping centre. Has any one stayed here before or can you recommend some where without a joiner fee for around 700 Bht per night.

I wanted to book the suite at the Baybreeze, which has just been rennovated.

 

When I had the suite last time it was 1,200 baht (and that was in high season January).

 

This is the shocker now they want 2,000 baht for the suite low season and 2,500 high season.

 

No way hose, I have asked how much for the standard room as I need to book two of them.

 

Jeepers talk about inflation!!!

hi andy

 

have stayed at the natural beach more than 7 times although not in the past 5 years.

 

the pros are :

good location as you can get to the hotel easily either from bach road or 2nd road via baht bus.

small pool but adequate for the number of rooms.

easy walk to mike's mall with atm.

beach is across the road.

sois 7/8, pattyalands, soi post office all within 10 mins walk.

2nd road 5 mins walk.

good security at night.

 

the cons are:

think there was construction at the back of the hotel last year - probably hotel extension - dont know current status.

a friend reported the rooms were looking very tired 2 years ago - they were never luxurious.

not sure of price but any more than 850 baht would be high in my opinion.

no lift although i think its max 4 storeys.

rooms looking over beach road have no balcony and are noisy.

if you need walking street then although it is easy to get on a baht bus outside hotel, at night beach road traffic can be at walking pace and it can be a very stop/start journey.

 

 

best rooms at back overlooking pool with balcony.

 

unless you really need to be near beach my opinion would be to try soi diana inn / soi lenkee metro / soi buakhow for better value - 700 baht low seasin will get you better value than natural beach.
