This is a lovely place to stay in Pratumnak. It’s very close to the beach. There is this lovely chocolate factory, which is a must to visit. Try going for the sunset. Now I would like to clarify something which none of the hotel sites nor their own website mentions it, not sure why though. This is not a hotel neither a service residence/apartment. These are apartments which are for sale, the ones which are not sold, the company is listing it for guests to book just like a hotel room. We had booked a 2-bedroom sea view apartment. When one reads apartment, one imagines it has all the necessary things which you will get in an apartment. This is where I need to make it very clear, this is not a serviced apartment/residence as the property does not allow any cooking at all. The property has disconnected the hotplate. All you get is cutlery, microwave and a kettle that's it. There is no toaster too. If you are okay not able to cook, this is a lovely place with a gorgeous view of the sea. No washer/dryer in the 2-bedroom sea view room. I did find the bedroom relatively small especially moving in and out of the bed. We had a Jacuzzi in the balcony which was lovely after a long day in the sun. The furnishing was top notch I must say. Very luxurious and well decorated living room/dining room. Service and staff were amazing. I would like to thank one of the staff in particular, Ms June who was very gracious and kind. There was one lady (next to Ms June) who refused to provide her name. Her brashness and the way she spoke was unacceptable. The afternoon/evening shift staff, there was this one gentleman who spoke rudely with my father and brother. When Thailand is best known for its kindness & hospitality, I would request the management to get them trained. So, if you are looking for a place to cook, this is not the place, yes there are several restaurants nearby or order food through Grab. If you don't mind the cooking part, the 2 bedrooms with a sea view was great. I loved doing my morning 5 am exercises in the balcony. We did go to the pool during our stay. What a view it was. There is also a Sauna room. Overall, I would rate my stay at 8/10, I just did not appreciate how the lady & gentleman spoke to us. Unable to cook as my father has special dietary requirements and WIFI does not reach the master bedroom. These are my reasons as why I rated it 8/10 Once again, a big thank you to Ms June for her amazing kind-heartedness and politeness. We did get a check-in around 11am after a very long flight from London to Bangkok. After our 4 days stay at the Elysium Pratumnak, we stayed for 3 nights at the Somerset Pattaya. What a pretty stay we had. Oh, we could cook.
Excellent
