Pattaya Marriott no longer Marriott

[paulsf]

Effective Nov 1 the Pattaya Marriott will be rebranded Avani. It was a great place to use my points. Stayed there many times. Will be missed.

I found out recently that Pattaya Marriot was used to be Royal Garden Hotel & Spa where I stayed a couple of time loooong time ago.

[Londoner]

I stayed there on my visit to Pattaya. However, I was too shy to bring a friend back to my room and, finding the short-time rooms on offer less than satisfactory, all my further visits have been based in Boyztown.

Shy and Pattaya   - now there's two words that should really never have to be put together in the same sentence.......There's nothing we could think or do that hasn't been done a million times before, so don't waste your time and holiday with shy, get up and get on with whatever makes you happy, it's not like anyone there REALLY cares :-)  

 

( * assuming you're not doing anything particularly offensive of course that is as then you might find that they start to care "a bit" :-)

of course you are right but in more mainstream hotels one may be wary of getting unfavorable comments from other guests and this is where shy part comes to. Not everybody is inclined to pick up fights with strangers.

 

I'm privy to story of guy who tried to economize on hotels and found cheap place in soi Bukaow , when marching with his boy through the lobby he got an earful from very supposedly straight patrons there.

 

Some of us don't like girls in our bars , some straights may not like gays in their hotels

This is very sad news.  The best pool in Pattaya!

 

I also see they have re branded another hotel to be the Intercontinental Resort Pattaya.

[Guest]

I have stayed in a hotel directly above a straight gogo bar & the only comments were flattering ones from the bar girls to my latest boy.

Gay & straight hotels are OK. The type of hotel I would avoid is that frequented by Arabs, Indians, Russians or young backpackers. Primarily because of their reputation for noisy partying.

For what it is worth, not many young British go to Pattaya, but if they did, I would also want to not share a hotel with them.

you think when they change name water in a pool will be more dry or what?

A new Marriot Renaisance Resort and Spa is about halfway through construction on the beach in Ban Amphur which is about 15 kms south of Pattaya. Maybe good for using your points.

It would be, but it's a long walk to Boyztown each nights

Dear TK2526,

 

Please disregard the shenanigans that some of us members talk about in regards to what we do in hotel rooms on this site. We were just exaggerating. 

[Guest ronnie4you]

My fist visit to Pattaya, there was no Royal Garden,just a sign  that the mall was coming. We stayed in a motel that would be in front of where the mall now is.

I did stay once or twice at the Royal Garden after it opened. The A/C at the Ambiance was giving me a sinus infection. I don't know how often they change the filters. There wasn't much atmosphere at the Royal Garden. Later I stayed there when it became Marriott. Except for better breakfasts, I didn't see much change.

[Guest ryanasia]

The rooms are boxes but the pool and bar is good. I stayed elsewhere and paid I think around 500 Baht to use the pool. It is an oasis in the otherwise bleak day time landscape of Pattaya.

 

To put it in perspective the pool on the top of Mike's mall was the other public pool and I wouldn't bathe my dog in that.
