Areca not a good experience
Pros:

Areca Lodges only saving grace is its location. The staff at the front counter (Tuan) were rude and gave the impression that you were intruding on their time. When you arrive you are pre-judged with staff assuming you are there only for sex. The rooms were average at best. Some of the rooms still have a shower over a bath and expect you to pay top dollar. Airconditioning in the room was not good. The variations in heat were average and even at night hot and cold. I was unable to connect to wi-fi. The technician that was provided new less than I did about wi-fi. Poor experience overall

Good stay at Areca Lodge
Pros:

Stayed here recently with my hubby and 16 year old son for a family holiday.

Check in was easy, receptionists very friendly and no issues.

We booked adjoining rooms so we had a king bed and my son had twin beds in the next room. Room was spacious with a king bed and a corner single chair. There wasn't much storage in terms on drawers so it was sort of hard to juggle so many suitcases without having space to unpack anything.

Bathroom was nice. Big shower but water pressure wasn't very great from the hand held or the big shower head on top.

Facilities were nice - there were 2 swimming pools in full sun most of the day and a gym that opened from 8am to 8pm with good equipment.

Breakfast was included each day which was a lovely mixture of western and thai food so nice variety.

Location was excellent and just located in between Pattaya Sai Song Road and Soi Buakhao. For me, it's a shopping holiday so a baht bus is never far away from where I need to go.

All in all a good stay and will recommend and come back again :)

Was memorable and I will be back soon
Pros:

I am a disabled male in a wheelchair and the access around the hotel was very good. The staff were very helpful and breakfast was great. I spent a lot of time in the pool and getting in and out was a bit of a challenge but we managed.

Cons:

Nothing I will be back for sure.

Pros:

Lemplacement au calme malgre le fait d etre au plein centre

Cons:

La literie, pas de sommier juste un matelas sur une planche de bois... Un peu limite pour un 4 etoiles.
L air conditionné qui ne regule pas, souffle de l air glacé en continu sans jamais s arreter... indigne d un hotel de ce genre
