A four star resort and spa located at the best spot in Patayya. The resort is located at the end of Walking street. There is a private beach and a swimming pool and a restaurant adjoining the beach. There is another fairly large pool in the resort which also has a slide for children and a jacuzzi to calm the muscles.
The rooms are scattered around landscaped gardens which have apart from the orchids and palm fronds, large tanks holding lots of colourful fishes.
The massage parlour which is part of the spa offers excellent Thai massage.
The only meal I had here was the breakfast - which was a buffet. A sumptuous spread with lots of bread, spreads, cheese and lots of cold cuts, sushi, a few varieties of cereals and muesli served along with dry fruits and marinated fruits, fresh native fruits and juices, some local varieties of noodles and rice and lots of sweet bakes to finish it off. The restaurant has both airconditioned and open air seating and overlooks the road.
Full marks to the resort but there is a stream of backwaters that flows across the resort and this gives a foul smell when you walk across it. A minor hindrance that can be tolerated.
Walking street - is the most happening place in Patayya. As the name suggests, vehicles are prohibited from 6pm. The place is abuzz with tourists and locals traders. There are a number of restaurants and bars on this street and there is plenty of street food that is available here. A couple of restaurants where you can have a sip of beer and watch Mauy Thai - kickboxing is also available. Plenty of places where one can watch 'night' / 'live' shows line the street. There are people hawking almost everything here, including themselves!!
Reco - if you go to Patayya - this is the place to stay.
