Family-friendly Hotels in Chon Buri

This is the best hotel in Bangsaen for service, I had a talk with an expat operations executive coming to ask if I needed anything, and the security guard escorting us to our rooms was very helpful. Also FB is great, everything is delicious in breakfast line. Though the room is quite old and dated but understandable given it's the first hotel in the city. But there were some bird poop (I guess) on the balcony which was quite disgusting, I tried to understand that the hotel was closed for sometime during Covid (given some areas are under renovation and maintenance) so might still not be 100% open with 100% of manpower yet. Also the landscape was quite messy. Anyway, cleanliness is an important key as well, hope it will get better on my next stay! PS. I think there are better choices with this price.

The rather large hotel is located directly on the busy Beach Road. Since there is no direct connection to the sea I would hesitate to call this a resort. The main building is set back and there are two wings reaching forward like the claws of a crab. The tips are very close to the road and we were unlucky enough to get a room at the very end of the tip. Check in procedure was quick and efficient. The room is very standard and old-style. No electric outlets at the beds and not that many on the other side. Curtains are not light proof. There is a fridge but there are only two bottles of water in it. Not easy to understand why there are no drinks, I am happy to pay for them. The A/C is very loud. Any attempt to control the fan speed failed. Whatever the setting, it remained at full speed, or so it seemed. The bathroom sink has a stop that is always closed. After washing hands or cleaning teeth you need to stick your hand in the dirty water in order to pull the plus and drain the sink.  There is room service for food at a good price and as the only restaurant open was an unpleasant looking bakery shop we had food sent to the room. This was quite OK, but the only place to eat it was at a table on the balcony. Out there it is very loud from the street noise and the irritating whining of the jet ski's on the sea. Not enjoyable or relaxing. So try the swimming pool. This is large but only 1.20 m deep. Just enough for swimming. Of the twelve (!) reclining beds that I counted none was free, so you have to sit on the stone ridge. I saw people with towels, but no idea how to get them. There was no staff at the pool. And then the worst part. It was a long weekend with lots of loud traffic on the Beach Road. Cars, trucks, motorcycles. Loud all night till the early morning, sometimes accompanied by fireworks. It eludes me how a caring host could give these noisy rooms to any guest. Breakfast is buffet style with enough choice. For coffee I would have preferred an espresso machine, the coffee served is mediocre. All in all I would rate the hotel no better than average. For the bad two nights I found that maybe a generous ”poor” would be appropriate. However, the core business and care of a hotel is to provide their guests with a good night's sleep. This I did not get for two nights, so my overall experience was terrible and so is my rating. I will never go back there.

The pool was perfect, clean and comfortable. I would recommend to add a small sauna near by the pool. The room is clean and new, has a nice view. An electric kettle and water is available, hot water and tea at the reception. Whole area of the house is new, clean and beautiful. I liked the swings. We used taxi and drivers always knew the exact building for drop off. Although I didn't have much options for breakfast. The porridge and soup I didn't want, neither fried egg. So only toasts with butter and jam left for me. I would really love to have usual sausages or ham for breakfast with the toasts. All other things were satisfying. My husband is really happy about everything there (especially about his double portion of shrimp soup which I left for him).

A service apartment style hotel where you can relax while traveling. The mattress is soft and comfortable. There is a TV that you can watch Netflix on, a refrigerator with 2 bottles of water, appliances with soap, shampoo dispenser, and a water heater. Downstairs there is a beverage dispenser available 24 hours a day. The front desk staff are very cute. The hotel has parking. The hotel location is easy to follow on Google Maps.
