Areca Hotel is very good value for money. I stayed in an executive room because the suites were booked out. Rate was 1300 per night in the back building. I believe the front building rooms are nicer as they have been re furbished. The room I stayed in was very big and comfortable and overlooks the second pool. Hearty breakfast buffet with quite a few choices. It is quite a large property, not the compound type like the 5 stars.
But be warned. An embarrassed receptionist told me at check in as the room was what I thought I heard she said a single an additional guest i.e. 2 girls in a room would be an additional 500bt. Now I can’t recall if I booked a single or a double. So perhaps check that one out. I would say that 90% of guests were mongers. This observation is based on who was in the breakfast room and around the pool.
It is very close to then new shopping centre on 2nd road. It’s not in the middle of the action but very close to second rd but then the action in Pattaya can be anywhere. And there are bars and venues within the vicinity of Areca. There is a nice little indoor bar from Areca towards 2nd road call I think called pappayo next to a pizza restaurant. Nice decked out bar and some nice looking younger girls. Nice place to start the night with.
If you check the website, it is exactly the way it is.
