Review of Cross Pattay Pratamnak, a newly opened accommodation near the sea with a view of Pratamnak Hill.

Ready or not, get ready for endless surprises when you stay at Cross Pattaya Pratamnak, or simply Cross Pattaya, as we affectionately call it. Personally, I was already impressed with the hotel under the Cross brand, so when I heard about the new opening in Pattaya, I was extremely excited to review it. To find out why I was impressed with the accommodation under the Cross brand, let’s dive into the review.

First and foremost, I must mention that staying at any Cross property promises a myriad of impressive amenities and a unique experience unlike any other. It’s the small details that create immense delight. Let’s begin with Cross Pattaya Pratamnak, where the clean and modern white building immediately catches your eye, adorned with contemporary decor that begs to be photographed from every angle.

At first glance from the pictures, one might assume that the accommodation is somewhat distant from the sea. However, in reality, all it takes is crossing the road and descending a staircase to find yourself by the seaside. If you walk from the hotel’s lobby, you’ll reach the beach in just about 100 meters. This beach is a relatively undiscovered gem, often referred to as a hidden beach. Despite visiting Pattaya multiple times, I never knew there was a swimmable beach right here. It’s a quiet spot with not many people around.

The hotel is surrounded by top-notch cafes and renowned restaurants in Pattaya. Several famous establishments are located directly opposite the hotel. In the pictures, you can see a row of small yet popular shops lined up along the opposite side of the hotel.

When checking in, the staff ensures a comfortable wait and requests your ID card for the check-in process. Afterward, they serve a delightful welcome set – a signature offering that is both delicious and stylish. The set includes a herbal drink set with pandan leaf and honey lemon water, boasting a subtly tangy flavor that refreshes and rejuvenates. As for the imported treats from France, especially the chocolate, they are incredibly delicious. The chocolate, in particular, stands out as a delightful indulgence.

Our accommodation is the Elite Executive Ocean Suite, boasting a spacious 52-square-meter room designed for two people. It offers the finest ocean view, as if the room is surrounded by the sea. From every corner, the room provides a breathtaking ocean view. The bed offers a spectacular view of the sunset, and there is even a bathtub and various seating areas throughout the room. Additionally, a set of snacks is provided, and the amenities are top-notch, making the bed exceptionally comfortable.

Yes, you can order beverages for self-brewing in the room, and there is a coffee maker provided with the necessary equipment for brewing in the room.

If you prefer not to brew your own beverages, you can head to the Bite Box Bar and Café located at the lobby area, providing a convenient option for drinks and snacks.

Other room types include the Urban Room, a comfortable starting option equipped with a cozy bed.

The Elite Suite is a spacious 42-square-meter accommodation offering a sweet and comfortable stay.

The chic-style swimming pool is accompanied by excellent service. As soon as you enter and take a seat, staff members are ready to provide refreshing and fragrant cold towels scented with melon, along with cool face towels to relieve the heat. The pool, although newly opened, is shaded and comfortable. It is suggested to swim in the evening when it’s cooler, as the midday sun can be quite intense. However, the bright sunlight does make for beautiful photos. If you want great pictures, you might have to endure the heat a bit.

You can order drinks to enjoy by the poolside, and I highly recommend trying the ‘Vibes’ drink. It has excellent vibes and is a standout beverage.

The spa here, named Moon Spa, gives off a tranquil vibe with its moon-themed décor, making it a comfortable and relaxing space, perfect for unwinding and perhaps even dozing off. While the spa may not be overly spacious or extravagantly decorated, it emphasizes cleanliness and a soothing atmosphere. The therapists are highly skilled, and the massages are truly enjoyable. The prices are reasonable, and they often have promotions. If you stay here, I recommend checking out the spa’s promotions for a great deal.

The playground is located at the back, making it a bit inconspicuous, and many people may not be aware of its presence.

I recommend trying the hot pot for lunch; it is incredibly delicious. A meal for two will leave you thoroughly satisfied. They offer a variety of options, including both pork and seafood. Moreover, there are several dipping sauces to choose from, enhancing the overall dining experience.

In the evening, the hotel sets up dinner tables by the poolside. One highly recommended menu is the Massaman Lamb. It’s incredibly delicious, and the chef mentioned that it is slow-cooked for a day. The lamb is tender and melts in your mouth, not chewy or tough. Everyone seems to love this dish. The steak is also delicious, served in a fusion style that is not only tasty but also beautifully presented, perfect for photo opportunities.

Live music is also part of the experience, adding to the ambiance during your evening dining. It enhances the overall atmosphere and makes for a more enjoyable and entertaining meal.

After a satisfying meal, returning to your room is a delightful experience with the turn-down service. They provide a warm pandan-infused herbal drink along with fragrant snacks like Thai-style coconut pancakes. Additionally, they leave a sleep mask, signaling a wish for sweet dreams.

Waking up early to the bubbly breakfast buffet at the Seasalt restaurant is a joyous experience. The atmosphere is lively, and what makes it even more exciting is the complimentary champagne served. The buffet line offers a wide variety of choices, providing a delightful and indulgent start to the day.

While seated at the table, you’ll be served with small snacks like pastries and yogurt as starters. After that, the server will provide an a la carte menu, which is essentially an extension of the buffet. The dishes are prepared fresh, and although there might be a short wait, it’s not too long. The food is served in small portions, allowing you to try various items without getting too full too quickly. It’s a great opportunity to explore different signature dishes.

Summing up my experience at Cross Pattay Pratamnak, I highly recommend it to friends and family. The distinctive services provided by Cross, combined with its excellent location near Pattaya, make it an outstanding lifestyle hotel in the area. The unique features, personalized services, and convenient location contribute to a memorable and enjoyable stay.
