Swimming pools in Pattaya.

[teelack 9,644]

I have to say that as I have aged a swimming pool, a lounger, the odd meal or drink and a bit of shade are essential. My problem is that I have stayed at only a few hotels and I was wondering where boardies felt was the best swimming pool in terms of value for money.

 

I know of some places in Pattaya that I will not stay in because whilst they have a pool, they have no shade.

 

Others have all of these but no food or drink.

 

In others the water is a bit suspect.

 

I would appreciate some feedback on any members comments about this rather important part of the Pattaya experience.

 

I would also be interested to hear of any rooming houses that have a deal at a reasonable rate for pool useage.

Best one I've seen is Opey de Place in Soi Lengkee. Great pool, good rooms (get one on the bottom floor) they serve drinks and the potato wedges are to die for. Usually put the mia noi up in there for a rest.

The Sheraton has three excellent pools, plenty of lounge chairs, and waiter service.

The rooftop pool on Mike shopping mall is excellent for 80 baht.

The pool at View Talay 2A is excellent value as it is a big kidney-shaped pool with tables and deck chairs, and it's absolutely free if you live or own there. The occasional topless spinner from east Europe is an added bonus.

Sounds OK, any web site?

[berettakid 26]

i read that the Green park was fantastic, but unsure if its guest friendly but it does look so inviting

Areca Lodge has 2 very clean pools, both have jacuzzi areas and in the bigger it is easy to swim lengths.

 

Plenty of shade from the buildings and lots of loungers and umbrellas too.

 

Food and drink available at both at reasonable prices.

 

Just called reception for info and they still allow non-guests to use the pool for 200 Baht.

Unless it has recently changed its name,the hotel is called Opey de Place,and yes its a very good budget hotel.

 

I personally prefer J&P Court which is just a couple of doors away,which has an equally nice pool.

[MeGoDanceNow 4,281]

Why did this topic get moved?

 

Bloody hell Martin, is the neverending Cheap Charlie/LDOP debate the only topic permitted in the Members Bar?

 

Maybe change the section name to Too Much Too Little?

[BigDUSA 71]

Has anyone seen a hotel employee testing the water or adding chlorine to the water?

Thanks for clearing up that slight confusion know the Opey never had a look in at JP, may try it next year

Yes, at both the Sabai Lodge on soi 2 and The Sunview on soi Buakhao

[The_Fat_Controller 25]

Yes, have seen pools being treated at the Areca and Sabai Lodges.

 

Both these hotels close their pools in the evenings to allow treatment and the Sabai Lodge put out a sign as well.

View Talay does have a good pool. gotta agree with that

[LBJ 533]

Here is the pool at the Areca Evergreen wing.

 

 

 

 

 

In answer to LDK, I think this was probably moved to allow non-members to view it as well as it has no sexual content or photos.

Now known as Opey de Place and yes, great pool, great shade if required, decent grub, clean rooms very reasonably priced.

 

Only down side is the floor tiles in the toilets of your room are wall tiles and offer no adhesion what so ever when wet. Making your toilet/shower a skating rink! Fallen twice myself and thankfully both when sober!

[Dungheap 243]

The main pool at the Birds and Bees Resort (Condoms and Cabbages) works for me -- tropical garden setting, superb ocean views, jacuzzi if ya get cold or want a cuddle.

 

The also have a kiddie pool for the Poms who can't swim!

[lee20 0]

A beautiful place. Hmmm...seems like I wanna visit this place.

 

Thanks for sharing this to us.

The pool at the Dusit Thani is very nice

 

Only problem though is the Thai Gestapo/security jumping out of bushes with flashlights in your face at 3am in the morning while your trying to sneak a BG in, just so you avoid paying the 1000bht fee for an additional guest

 

Somehow I don't think I will ever stay there again

The pool at the Dusit Thani is very nice

[Hub 203]

I guess I'll share one of my "secrets" - have several times taken a tilac on the motobike over to the Sugarhut for lunch and a few drinks at the pool, accompanied by a dip.

Also agree with Dungmaster on Cabbages and Condoms, lovely spot.
