The Siam Bayshore is an oasis in Pattaya. Located by the pier at the end of the walking street is has no resemblence to the street in front. From check in to our departure the staff at the Siam were extremely friendly and classy. We spent most mornings shopping and the afternoons by the pool located beachside. The rooms were basic but comfortable. Hopefully they will be upgraded to the standard of the common areas of this hotel, which were outstanding. The buffet breakfast was very good and on our last morning we got to watch monks walking down the street!

We decided to escape Bangkok for a day or two but didn't have time to drive far away. We were keen to get away from the madding crowd, and although Pattaya was not the ideal choice for that, we figured at least there was some sea. What we found was a pleasant resort and a good escape.

Unique Qualities: The grounds of the hotel are quite extensive and include 4 tennis courts. The hotel is rather organic in shape, and is filled with pockets and strips of well tended gardens. Quiet pools, waterfeatures and attractive foliage abound. There are tables and chairs scattered around in nooks so you can just sit out and have some time to contemplate, or wander the paths discovering bonsais, frangipannis and fat lazy fish. Even the ashtrays (I am not a smoker myself) were aesthetically pleasing, being large urns with sand in the top, that are stamped every day with the logo of the hotel. A nice touch.

The rooms were decent... evaporative cooling rather than air conditioning, and the room smelt a bit damp and mildewy, but the bed was quite good, in house movies great, and the room service food was excellent. The hotel and area seems to be particularly popular with Germans, and there were german foods available on some of the menus.

There are two swimming pools, one beachside, and one in the centre of the resort. Sadly like all hotels, both close quite early in the evenings, but I snuck in and had a quick midnight dip one night - don't tell anyone!

The beachside barbequeue was good, a buffet with both Thai and Italian choices, and some seafood which they will cook for you fresh. There is also a chinese restaurant where I had an excellent Peking duck meal.

They have some pleasant live music, and the musicians seemed delighted that we actually noticed them and clapped after some of the songs.

I very much enjoyed the picturesque surroundings of the hotel grounds, and its location at the far end of the Pattaya main beach meant it was far more quiet and pleasant than the rest of Pattaya. After venturing in to town once, we stayed away for the rest of our stay.

Hotel is perfectly located at the end of the bay. Inside the compound a different world, quiet, relaxing, enjoyable. Outside the hotel within easy reach at most of the important points. Very friendly staff who let us feel like at home. Very good value for money. Stayed at other hotels in Pattaya before but will definetly return again to this, Siam Bayshore..

We stayed at the Siam Bayshore for 03 nights in the end of Feb. We had booked the garden view rooms but they were sold out and we got upgraded to the executive rooms! We had thoroughly researched the hotel before booking and were quite happy with the garden view room, but the executive rooms were a pleasant suprise.
Although we had requested a king size bed we got two queen beds. However, the staff immediately joined the two and we had no problems then.
The hotel is located in the quiet end of the famous international walking street, which transforms from a quiet sleepy road to a lively, loud and colourful street at night. The hotel is has a pool right on the beach and one in the gardens. Both make for excellent RnR with well stocked bars.
The breakfast was a good spread. We didnt try any of their restaurants, but judging by the crowd they were doing well.
For those looking for a mix of peace and quite and yet dont want to be too far away from the action, this is an ideal resort.
