im not going to flame them. im not going to talk bad about them. im just going to say the facts of what happened to me when i was there and how i felt..

 

basically i felt like i was ripped off.. i love my privacy what the thing that pulled me toward the secret villa was the “private house with a PRIVATE pool they offered”.. which I think was a total lie.( but that me thinking and i could be wrong ) I will tell you how it was.. when I first arrive at the house I was happy to see how big the house was.. I was not happy with the location ( 15 mins away from walking, and if you have traffic 20-30 min.. don’t forgot its 250bt per trip anywhere!!! One way ( in 2 days I had to pay over 2000bt for just coming and going out of the villa)) and that not even what got to me… what got to me was the private pool they advertise. ITS NOT PRIVATE!!! Not by a long shot!!! You share it with “ben” the owner of secrets bar.. yes it’s a shared pool.. they will say its private cause he don’t use it while you rent the house which is RIGHT NEXT TO HIS.( I saw him and his girl walking in there house looking out side some time )..

 

the first day I got there. There was a pool man cleaning the pool.. yes after paying 5000 per day for a private house/ pool. There was a pool man cleaning the dame pool after I rented it.. why?.. I don’t know.. should it have been done before I got there?.. YES I think it should have been( but that’s just me I could be wrong )…after that, there was a person who was walking around the house like I was not even there( after I rented the place.. a private house/ pool ) it would have been nice if he asked me first before going to grab some of his things for the bar( it was Alan )… when asked why there was the pool man cleaning and why I was able to see ben and he was able to see me. No one can give me a straight answer..

 

conclusion..

 

the (secret villa) is NOT I repeat NOT a private house with a private pool.. it’s a very nice private house with a shared pool.. and it has a very expensive transportations.. am I a bit piss?.. yes I am.. will I ever go back to the bar or the villa?.. no I don’t think I will…. Bar it’s a bit expensive.. I don’t mind the price at all but for the price I want to see naked pussy and tits moving.. ( but that’s just me ) professional bar?. Yes….

This is what I think we can all say honestly, without flaming anyone P.E. When we were all young, and ready to get our first cars, whether they be new or used, but used in most of our cases. We all wanted that damn car so bad, we knew there were other cars out there, but we all loved our first car, AT FIRST!

As we got older and had more money, we seen that this car that we thought was so amazing, was really a shitbox. There was so much wrong with the car, you wonder how the thing even ran, let alone after seeing what other cars were out there, wondered how we were even proud to be seen in that car at one point in time. Moral of the story is this: We all loved our first cars, because we didn't know any better and that there were a hell of a lot nicer cars out there, all it takes is us actually taking a spin in that same shitbox we once had to be reminded of why we got rid of the fucking thing. For all the people that can't read between the lines, its a great place when you know nothing else. We all have had our experiences, some people try to be more understanding about things, and not believe what is said about the place. In the end, if it looks like shit, and smells like shit, guess what? Its shit.

Many thanks for the honest report Pe.Gob The place has often caught my eye in the past but i've always thought it was too pricey. Now I definatly know I won't be staying there. Many thanks again.

Just caulk it up as another lesson learned in Thailand.

Well done for keeping it civil Pe.gob, I know how gutted you were and as for the second place you had, maybe you should give that a mention as an alternative. as that was truly private with high walls.

Cheers for the honest review PE.GOB, for such an expensive place i would be quite pissed off myself. It was good meeting you in NLD1 and hopefully bump into you again in the future...

when you book ANY hotel,don't you check the location?

Quoted from their site

 

"The location of Secrets VIP Retreat is very close to Tesco Lotus and easy access to anywhere in Pattaya, the exact location we ask always remains totally confidential.

 

Walking Street is 10-15 minutes away and there is available our 24 hour taxi service on the mobile phone for you. The cost is 200 baht one way to anywhere in Pattaya (up to 5 people) all taxis are air conditioned. Remember pick up can also be arranged also if you decide to go out any place and don't want to be bothered with hiring a Baht bus (which would be about the same price)."

"a stunning secluded private pool for your exclusive use."

No, he was lied too, just as when people go looking for the 'Quality Hotel, Nightclub and Restaurant'

And people wonder how Ben got the nick name " Honest Bent"

 

Same old bull shit just a different location.

 

My favorite besides being a HOTEL AND NIGHT CLUB,is the lies about buying a fleet of cars just to ferry SHHHHHHHHHHITE Lovers from the Airport to the SHHHHHHITE BAR and BOARDING HOUSE.They didnt buy a Scooter let alone a fleet of cars,they simply contact an established car operator and add on more than a thousand Baht,but some suckers will pay anything,wont they Toddler?

sorry to hear it didnt work out, 5,000baht a day is a lot of money and can go a long way so I can understand your disappointment.

why are you asking me i have never even stayed at secrets, let me guess, you have been banned from the secrets board, so now you give it shit, very sad man.

Just a couple of observations.

 

Outside swimming pools need cleaning at least every couple of days to remove leaves and debris. It is also needed to stop algae build up on the walls and floor of the pool. No doubt the guy who cleans it has set days to come in which is common with all outside pools unless you DIY. It's a bit like the maid who also comes in daily.

 

As far as I know the cars they have (Toyota Avensis) are owned by Secrets and the drivers work for them also.

Come on Bruce,not many gulible Muppets on this board as opposed to SHHHHHHHITE.

 

No chlorine in Thailand to rid the pool of Algae?And surely Bent would have advised the pool guy to have it in immaculate condition PRIOR to a guest moving in.

 

As far as the cars are concerned,maybe you didnt see the email from Alan confirming to a punter, these cars are from a contractor and NO responsibility is taken by SHHHHITE,as they are NOT owned by them.

 

Bruce i think you miss the whole point made by the guest,he was, as are others who stay at the SHHHHHITE Villa, have been mislead.

 

Maybe you could ask Bent to explain why Alan was wandering around the property,when it was booked by a guest for his PRIVATE and Exclusive use.

Thanks for the honest stuff PE.Gob

Learning from the disappointments from other members, makes it worth not to go to thoose places. Thanks for the warning PE.Gob.

WOW!! Thank you for that honest post. That right there may have just changed my whole vacation b/c I actually booked the 2 bedroom for June.

 

........SHIT!!

dude check out my post here... http://www.pattaya-addicts.com/forum/Villas-t33347.html

I dont know about the rest of it but it's perfectly normal for somebody to clean the pool everyday, I would be very suprised if they did'nt in a decent rented villa

 

Think about all the shit that flys into the pool overnight and seeing as the weather is on and off at the moment theres leaves and stuff all over the place

This one cracks me up. Hilly owns Secrets boarding house, the website, the house, and the cars. So why do you reckon he denies having any part of Secrets. Maybe he thinks the UK Inland Revenue are reading the boards, because they are still looking for Mr.B & Mrs, AM Hill for unpaid tax.

Cheers for the info mate.

I've vaguely considered the place before.

 

The price and the location put me of. I expect to be saving money by living that far out, even for a private villa and pool, 5k seems a bit steep.

 

To be honest by pattaya standards of misrepresenatioin I dont' think its that bad.

But I can understand if your paying that kind of money you expect them to deliver.
