Positioned by the beach, guests enjoy serene, green surroundings perfect for relaxation, walking and cycling. The large, inviting pool is a notable highlight, often described as well-maintained, spacious and ideal for both children and adults.
Despite generally positive feedback, the resort's remote location poses challenges for guests without their own transport, as public transportation options are limited and attractions are a 15-30 minute drive away. While some guests found the nearby roadside restaurant convenient and enjoyable, exploring more of Pattaya necessitates a car.

There were also concerns about the lack of variety, cold dishes and insufficient restocking towards the end of service.
The rooms offer a mix of experiences. Guests appreciated the spaciousness, cleanliness and stunning sea views. The helpful and attentive staff further enhanced their stay. However, the hotel shows signs of age with dated decor, noisy air conditioning and worn furniture being common complaints. Despite the need for upgrades, for those who prioritize space and scenic views, the rooms are a fair choice.
Cleanliness also receives mixed reviews. While some visitors found the rooms and property clean, others reported issues like dust, mold and pests. The communal areas seemed less well-maintained and there were occasional disruptions by cleaning staff in the early morning.
Staff interactions are mostly positive with many guests lauding the friendly, polite and supportive nature of the employees. Though there were instances of unhelpful or rude behavior, particularly at reception, the overall hospitality and helpfulness of the staff were well-received.

The beach, while offering lovely views and a peaceful atmosphere, was criticized for being dirty and unsuitable for swimming due to mud and debris. Despite this, the scenic beachfront still provided a charming backdrop for a quiet retreat.
Regarding beds, there are varied opinions. Some guests found the beds comfortable, while others described them as too hard or firm with particularly stiff pillows detracting from overall comfort. The consensus indicates a need for improvement in bed comfort.

Positioned by the beach, the resort provides guests with beautiful sea views and access to a large, inviting pool. The area surrounding the hotel is peaceful and beautiful, ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat away from the city's hustle and bustle.
While the hotel benefits from its serene beachfront position and spacious, green areas perfect for walking and cycling, it is somewhat removed from the main attractions and activities in Pattaya.

Cholchan Pattaya Beach Resort's breakfast offerings have garnered mixed feedback from guests.

Despite some positive mentions about the reasonable pricing and decent quality, others were disappointed by the sparse selection, cold dishes and lack of variety. Additionally, the breakfast service appeared to struggle with restocking items close to closing time and there were reports of overcrowding that impeded the overall experience. Overall, while the breakfast is considered good value for money by some, it is clear that improvements in diversity and quality are needed to satisfy a broader range of guest preferences.
