I have stayed in the Twin Palm Resort several times and in general, I really like it. The “resort” is split into four main Lodges situated on a fairly thin strip of land between 2nd Road and Beach Road, each Lodge being in a different price range. I stayed in the City lodge which is the budget category. Pros and Cons:

+ Although close to the city, the City Lodge was reasonably quiet.
+ Recently renovated with flat screen TV and local cable.
+ The grounds are attractive and it is pleasant to walk from one end to the other.
+ There are two pools but the smaller one is rarely used
+ WiFi internet is available in the room
+ Meals are available round the clock and breakfast is now included in the price
+ Food is good, something for all tastes.
- Staff in general are very friendly but the staff in the restaurant can be sultry
- The beds in the City Lodge are rock hard and certainly gave me back pain
- internet (WiFi) has to be paid for and is very slow at times – it broke down while I was there.
- There is no Gym although there is plenty of room for one

We had a great stay at the twin palms. Rooms were reasonably priced, very clean and neat - only complaint was that we didnt have a little balcony. Room service was great. Pool was nice. Location was far enough away from walking street to be fairly quiet. We will be staying there on our next visit

We got a cheap deal from Agoda so booked this hotel, since the location was great, and breakfast was included. The property is HUGE, and split into 3 sections: the City wing, Garden wing & the Beach Wing. The distance between the City wing (where I & husband had a room) and the Beach Wing is like some 300 meters, and its no fun walking all the way in the sun to the restaurant for breakfast. The room was small & functional, beds hard. The washroom didn't have a exhaust fan, so that meant foul smells if the toilet door & room windows were not kept open. I don't think I would be staying here the next time I visit Pattaya.
