Botany Beach Resort

We vacationed with my husband in February 2025. We got caught in the rain, the air was very humid, it was difficult to breathe, there was no sun at all for four days, but the locals explained this to us, that the spirits were offended, that they did not make them some kind of offering in the fall😁 A good hotel with numerous bungalows, in a cozy location, a quiet environment, a cafe-bar on the shore, greenery, palm trees, birds, turtles, a wonderful swimming pool, the sea is more or less clean, but Wednesday and Thursday are sanitary days, sewage is released into the sea and swimming is not recommended on these days (as the guides explain), although our hotel is a little away, it was more or less normal, but there is little swimming in the sea, everyone is mostly around the pools. There are good massage therapists on site at the hotel, get a real Thai massage - you won’t regret it, it’s better to do it before your body gets tanned, then it won’t be very pleasant. On the left along the seashore there is a huge pier with yachts and sailboats - a great place for walks, there is also an excellent area with ponds, a beautiful place near a high-rise hotel, you can walk around the territory. On the right side of the bank there are three or four excellent similar hotels with beautiful grounds and swimming pools, where you can also swim and relax without anyone scolding you or driving you away. Shops and markets are somewhere 1-2 km away, but a tuk-tuk will help and for 20 baht you can go to northern Pattaya or with a transfer to the center, where all the nightlife is. We used the Bolt taxi - an excellent solution, economy cars, all beautiful and air-conditioned, mostly Toyotas, the drivers are polite and kind, the price to the center is about 150 baht, the ride takes 30-40 minutes. We bought a SIM card, the Internet and Google translator helped a lot. We had dinner in the center in different places and in a restaurant near a neighboring hotel, like we went for lunch across the road, closer to the bridge to the market, the girls' food was also not bad, beautiful serving, tasty, not fiery-spicy, huge portions and not very expensive (lunch for two - 700-800 baht - we took two different soups, pasta with seafood, shrimp with vegetables, a mango cocktail and a small bottle of rum, large portions, we could We could only handle soups, although we ordered small portions, they packed the second course for us in containers to take with us), they put a lot of seafood in any establishment and the shrimp are huge. We bought excursions from our Guide at the hotel. I didn’t like the 1st free review, since there was no review of Pattaya as such, the purpose was to advertise a rubber factory, snake medicine and pearl production, brought to one of the temples. 2. The excursion in jeeps was interesting, the guys showed a lot of locations, told a lot of history, a museum, temples, delicious food, rode elephants, fed crocodiles, rode on four-wheel drive cars in a circle quietly one after another, they didn’t give us a ride arbitrarily, the military beach was also somehow superfluous, since the hotels have their own wonderful places to relax, and there, like a city beach, it’s not clean, garbage dumps, monkeys... rats, a lot of people, changing rooms and toilets without water and almost not performing their functions, overall the excursion is 4 out of 5. 3. A catamaran excursion to an uninhabited island, here it’s 5 out of 5, a cool snow-white ship with red poufs, a small crowd, a delicious lunch, music, drinks, entertainment on the island (slides, boats, fishing), the Cote d’Azur with white sand, then the island of monkeys, photos at sunset - class. 4. Bangkok - 5 out of 5, great, organization, locations, excellent guide guy knows the whole history of Thailand and neighboring countries, he gave answers to any question with ease and talked a lot about the Kings, about wars, about the formation of tourism, about temples - well done, special thanks, here’s a really overview of Bangkok and on the way from hotels throughout Pattaya. There were beautiful temples, we took a breeze on a boat along the river to the temple, fed the fish, then the coolest thing was the observation deck from the 84th floor high-rise and a gorgeous dinner at sunset in a restaurant with a bird's eye view of the capital of Thailand, the only negative is that we were given little time to sit in the restaurant, only an hour and a half, we could have savored the beauty and delicacies for much longer. All excursions cost approximately $100 per person.

Beautiful place, good atmosphere, lots of photo corners. Suitable for girls who like to take photos.

The hotel is next to the beach, the view is very beautiful. But the room is old! When I come to terms with it because I already know! Sleeping on the 1st floor, the sound of dragging chairs on the 2nd floor was so loud that I couldn't sleep. The walls were extremely thin. Foreigners opened and closed the door loudly without consideration. It was very noisy.
