Bua Tara Resort

The Bua Tara Resort is a hidden gem in the Pattaya, Thailand area. If you seek solitude and peaceful natural beauty Bua Tara is ideal. The rare and exquisite lotus flowers surround your private villa in natural spring pools along with plenty of large catfish and tilapia that await your feeding. And, a healthy modern spa is available to relax or exercise with friends. Overall, Bua Tara is a unique blend of nature and peace that is very reasonable on your budget. We were to stay three days but decided to stay a month.

I needed a place to stay rather last minute, outside Pattaya to see my friends, who live close by. I stayed two nights and had a pleasant experience. The location was good for me, but probably not much else. When checking in, I had to pay 500 Bht deposit, and then was told that my cards could not be used, and that I needed to pay my bill in cash, which I didn’t have enough of. I paid for one night in cash, which was refunded the following day, because it was realised that I had already pre-paid for the room, which was a bit of an inconvenience. The room was nice enough - it had a comfy bed, the air con worked well, the internet wasn’t bad and it was in pleasant surroundings. The bathroom was a bit shabby and the shower was cold. There was also no breakfast and not really anywhere to go, so you’ll need a car, or the Bolt app for hiring a taxi. Overall, not a bad stay, and would stay there again, if needed.
