We arrived late eve after a long drive from Bangkok to be shown to a room which had mould on the walls. After complaining to reception and being told there was nothing else available we asked them to call the Kuoni rep as this really wasn't what we were expecting. Based on the state of that room I wouldn't have given it 1 star let alone 3! The Kuoni rep obviously had a little more clout than a mere customer as he called us back and had arranged for us to be moved to a suit which was much better and thankfully clean & mould free.
After a disasterous start I still wouldn't reccomend the place .. the pool was fine the food over priced and there was no bar for evening use. It was more suited to a business trip than a holiday.
If you are unfortunate enough to have booked already then I don't think you'll spend much time in the actual hotel so try the wishingwell on the opposite corner which did great food at good prices with a friendly atmosphere. Richard who owns it is english and will give you the low down on pattaya.
Cosy Beach is half way between Pattaya and Jontiem so not a bad location if you don't want to be in the heart of things, we hired a moped which helped but do wear the helmet or you'll get fined.
The hotel as a whole is dissapointing and lacked any sort of attmosphere. When we checked out they tried to charge us for phone calls we hadn't made from the original room which left us with a nasty taste and seemed to sum up the whole attitude of the place...staff first customer who cares?
