Der Eingangsbereich , aufgrund des kleinen Grundstücks suboptimal . Personal stellenweise überfordert . Trotzdem eine absolute Empfehlung

Why I extended my stay three times 😊
Pros:

Seven Trips to Thailand and Akara Is Still Number One

I have stayed in Thailand seven times, and Akara is not only the best hotel in Pattaya but the best hotel I have stayed at anywhere in Thailand.

The location is perfect. It’s only 300 metres from Terminal 21, around 2 km from Beach Road, and approximately 2.5 km from Central Pattaya. The hotel has a very convenient drop-off and pick-up area, ATMs within 20 metres of the front entrance, and a 7-Eleven just steps away.

As for the hotel itself, the rooms are modern, clean, and spacious. My preferred choice is the Aqua Room, which offers more space and has the shower and toilet separated, making it feel more comfortable. I have stayed in both room styles and found them both excellent.

The cleanliness and presentation are 10/10. The breakfast is very good, and what really completes the experience is the friendly and helpful staff, who always make you feel welcome.

I highly recommend Akara to anyone visiting Pattaya and will continue to stay there on future trips.

Cons:

The only thing I didn’t like was having to leave. In fact, I extended my stay three times. When it came time to finally check out, the hotel manager was jokingly asking, “Extending again, Mr Josephs?” 😂

I think that says more about how much I enjoyed staying at Akara than anything else
