Baboona Beach Living, August Suites or April Suites

[polypoo]

Hi Guys,

 

will be coming to pattaya next month and based on what i've read on this forum, i've narrowed down to those 3 hotels. which would you guys recomend? i suppose they are all decent places but i'd like to be within very few steps of 7/11, restaurants, shopping, Walking Street (though not too close as i dont want girls seeing me arrive with other girls)

 

thanks for any info.

I'm currently staying at April Suites, August is just 1 min away from there, and what I can say is that the location is really nice from my point of view. Not noisy at all, few shops nearby, bath buses next door, 10-15 min walking distance from Beach Road and just few minutes from WS with a motorbike.

 

Small swimming pool but lovely fitness facilities and sauna. Staff is really great, they all speak not so bad english at the reception desk.

August is a little bit more expensive than April but I don't know if it's worth it or not...

 

The room are quite Ok, new hotel so it's fresh design. Bathroom are big enough with a really nice shower.

 

Can't help you with the last hotel.

I just stayed at the Baboona last month - really nice, clean and spacious, modern and comfortable. Breakfast and wifi are included in the rates (I got it for ~1600b/night via Booking.com)

 

Moreover, it's inexpensive. And right on Beach Road, between 3rd and 4th, in the quieter part of the run. It's got a great spa and nice exercise room, plus perhaps the most comfortable bed I had in my entire stay...firm, but not rock-hard. There's no pool (hell, Pattaya bay is a few steps out the front door) but if you wanted to go to Koh Narn, the boats seem to pick up and drop off right there on the beach.

 

I just posted a review I did for (for, whispers, ...another site...) over here on PA: Baboona Beachfront Living

I have stayed at Baboona and August Suites. The view from the seaview rooms in Baboona is spectacular, but beside that everything else is better at August Suites.

The only simularity between the Baboona and August/April suites properties is the price. August/April suites are far superior in facilities and quality all round. I wouldn't swap my swimming pool for turd infested Pattaya bay.
