"Chareena Beach is the beachfront section of the Chareena Resort. There's also Chareena Hill, a more sophisticated resort located on the slope next to it, with beautiful views of the bay. It's also more expensive, of course. It's home to The Bay restaurant, with the best views of the entire beach and where breakfast is served. Chareena Garden, which we didn't get to during our one-night stay, is also available.
Chareena Beach is a fairly simple, small bungalow located 30-50 meters from the beautiful Pattaya Beach. However, it's very clean with comfortable beds, large pillows (though that's a matter of personal preference), signature linens, and towels. Tea, a kettle, coffee, cream, and water (again, in signature Chareena Hill drinking water bottles) are provided. A mosquito repellent is included, but we didn't see a single mosquito there, nor any other insects. Everything is of a very high standard. Sure, these aren't the luxurious bungalows of some other hotels, but for the price, they're clean, tidy, have a delicious breakfast with a coffee machine, an egg station (scrambled eggs, omelettes, scrambled eggs, or pancakes, all cooked right in front of you), and several hot, delicious dishes. There's also a beach restaurant with cocktails and lunch prepared by the same chef who served breakfast. A special thank you to him! Thanks also to the manager, Toi (if I gave him his name correctly), for making our stay feel like home and organizing a cruise around the island and to neighboring Adang. And overall, it was fun to chat about a variety of topics in the evening. Next time, we'll definitely stay at least three days at either the Beach or the Hill. It's a great experience!"
