    The breakfast could be improved, just a bit. I found the pineapples were unripe on most mornings, compared to a same-level hotel in the neighborhood (where I stayed about 2 weeks prior)--which had excellent breakfast items. The showers were a bit finicky--one second it would be nicely warm, the next scorching hot at max pressure, almost painful, but manageable once you get the hang of it.

    It meets my expectations, and even exceeded them in amenities and comfort. It's quiet and peaceful. Location is excellent--if you value beach access. Rooms are spacious and adequately soundproof.

    Some room features are a little run down but this is offset by the beautiful pool.

    Only 2 hours from Bangkok. Beautiful pool with beachfront access from the hotel. Large rooms. Kind and friendly staff. Access to pool from the poolside rooms with a beautiful daybed on the large verandah.

    Dor Shada is a pleasant place to stay that is past all the Pattaya nonsence. Family friendly!

    Sometimes the Dor Shada doesn't really finish the job. Our room had a water leak in it above the bathtub. Since it leaked into the tub, we didn't want to move. However, someone shoud have fixed it or at least noticed it before we got there. This isn't Dor Shada's fauilt, but the sea has quite a few small jellyfish, so always small stings. Beach is clean though!

    The location is great, Pattaya but not actually in Pattaya. Teh resort is pretty and the rooms are big. Big enough to put a bunk bed in for kids. Too many hotels are too focused on the Chinese only having one kid. We have 2. So, it's great that the rooms are big enough and the you can accomodate people with kids withotu needing to get two rooms. Our kids are a bit too young for that and so in other hotels it means we get two rooms and I stay with my son, while my wife stays with my daughter. I would rather stay with my wife. Alos, good breaklfast and decent dinner.

    Distance to town/city is 30 minutes by taxi. Taxi charge any rate. 400-800 Bath per single trip. Goggle suggest 156B. That is big problem with transport in Pattaya - taxi drivers.

    Space was good. Nothing is cropped in. Reception stuff very helpfull and friendly.

    The hotel is beautiful and also the pool is beautiful and clean and well maintained, very quiet location, good for small family holiday to get away from everything and the long beach .

    it was slightly more difficult than it should have been to get food or drinks. There weren’t many people staying at the hotel so, have to wait a long time for food was silly. They have a nice little deck at the beach where you can eat, but the kitchen isn’t there, so it takes a long time to send the order to the kitchen , then cook the food, then haul it back out to the beach. same for drinks. they should also just put the fees in the room without lots of tedious bill checking and such. when I go to a place like this and order a beer on the beach… just give me the beer. Don’t fill out a form, ask for the room number again, and the bring the smallest bottle of Chang beer you can find. it felt cheap and tedious. like a lame attempt and over changing me. I would have bought more food and drink if it hadn’t been so overpriced and slow.

    very pretty and on the beach. slightly further south away from some of the overdevelopment of pataya. great pool.

    before booking this hotel, I've checked reviews were 5 stars, it was not true.

    Arrived at the hotel around 19:00 — the atmosphere was dark and quite depressing. The entrance to the room was through a tiny, hidden lift which felt a bit unsafe. The room itself was poorly maintained, with wooden furniture that looked worn out and neglected. Amenities were of very cheap quality. Check-out was unusually strict, as if we were trying to steal their low-quality items — including a flimsy pair of flip-flops which the maid could not find them in the beginning and later reported that found them in the drawer, which I didn't put them there. I think it was a ghost hahaha.., I wouldn’t even take them if they were free! yet they insisted on checking for them Overall, the hotel could have charm if it received serious, ongoing maintenance — but at this point, it feels like it's far past saving.

    staffs were friendly and tried to service their best but...not that level yet. room was big but felt empty.

    The breakfast could have had a little more choice. Boiling water to make tea would have been nice. These are very minor points and in no way spoiled the holiday. I would come back here again, and so would the party that I was travelling with.

    The swimming pool was the best I have ever seen.

    Room absolutely smells ! Something between sewage and an old church! AC was super loud. Couldn't sleep in the room at all. Main issue was smell. Not many of staff speak basic English. I am talking water, beer kinda words. Overall I wish I booked elsewhere. Also, bathrobe super small sized.

    The pool area was amazing. Access to beach as well. Spacious room with lovely balcony
