Nutrition Reviews
Description of Centara Grand Phratamnak Pattaya 5 * would be incomplete, if not a few words about the quality of food. As with any Thai hotel, guests can choose their own meal plan. Breakfast for guests is served in the form of a buffet in the main restaurant, which is located in the lobby. A wide range of restaurant dishes is praised by all its customers. In addition, the hotel has a la carte restaurants, but the food in them is quite expensive, so tourists prefer to visit the nearest restaurants and cafes for a change, where you can taste a variety of national dishes.
Which institution to give preference to, it is up to you to have a more complete picture of Thai cuisine, vacationers recommend first visiting several restaurants. Unfortunately, many cafes do not have a Russian-language menu, so often tourists order dishes at random. Otherwise, there are no nutritional problems. Near the hotel there is a small market where you can buy delicious fruits.
Service Reviews
Tourists note the high level of service and very friendly hotel staff. Settlement takes place immediately upon arrival, without delay or delay. At the reception, tourists take a deposit of 1,000 baht per night (1 baht is 1.7 rubles). The money is sealed in an envelope and returned to you at the time of departure. The presence of Russian-speaking staff makes registration quick.
On the roof of the hotel there is a beautiful, but small pool with a wonderful terrace for relaxation and a unique seascape.

Near the hotel there are taxis and tuk-tuk, which for 200-300 baht will take you anywhere in the resort at any time.
General impression of the complex
The complex is quite suitable for beach holidays and business trips. But lovers of active nightlife, perhaps you should choose a hotel for yourself, located closer to the center of the resort. Most of the tourists are Chinese and Russian, Europeans can be seen here extremely rarely. Since the complex is quite large, there is no feeling of overcrowding with tourists, which is very important for a calm measured rest.
In the lobby, everyone can buy sightseeing tours to see the local beauty. Thailand is a stunningly beautiful and interesting country with an unusual culture that is worthy of your attention.
In general, the hotel makes the most pleasant experience, as evidenced by many admired reviews. According to tourists, the modern institution really matches the five stars on the sign. It is very pleasant that the complex still lives up to the expectations of its regular guests.
Beach Reviews
If you go to Pattaya for a beach holiday, then the proximity of the sea is the main criterion for choosing a hotel. In this regard, the Centara Grand Pratamnak is an excellent place, since the complex is located in close proximity to the coast. The hotel's beach is not very large, but equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas. Unfortunately, the cafe does not work on it, but many sellers with shrimps, mussels and other local delicacies constantly walk along the shore. The sea in the hotel area, as in the whole of Pattaya, is a bit unclear, but always warm.
On the beach in the morning, workers clean up the garbage, so the local coast is cleaner than in the center of the resort. During the day, nails and bags are washed ashore. But such a picture is almost the norm for Thailand.
