What is 3 I line from the sea. Beach rest

Beach - a piece of paradise!

Beach rest - This is the most like a classic holiday! Approximately the same thing that Beethoven in music. Sun, sea, fresh sea air and ... You are in the center of all this paradise. Life turns into one solid pleasure. If, of course, do not burn on the very first day. You are immersed in this paradise, plunge ... And suddenly everything ends - the vacation approached the end, it's time to go home. How quietly flew time! Beach rest - The best confirmation of the theory of Einstein's relativity - the slower you live, the faster the time flows. But after all, the paradox - you feel the opposite with rapid! Here is such a simple and simple rest on the beach!

But despite all his uncomplication, even in beach holiday There are some details to pay attention to.

Line of the hotel.

Beach Hotel always looks at beach. But the beach is just just a sushi line embracing the sea. Land all hotels on one of this line is not always possible. And then the hotel is built on the next, second line. Hotels in the second line Do not have our own way out to the sea. But they can have their beach on the shore, use municipal Or share beach Hotel First Line. Depending on the popularity of the resort, the actual number of lines can be three, and four ..., but, as a result, all the same hotels are not the first line belong to the category hotels in the second line.

Cost of rest In the hotels of the second line, with other things being equal, it is cheaper than the cost of resting in the hotels of the first line. Life is calmer there, since there is no beach noise. But there may be noise of the road, because second line hotels are usually over the street from the first line hotels or the beach..

For beach holidays important distance from hotel to the beach. And here are the nuances. The territory of the hotel of the first line can be big and go to the beach may have several hundred meters. While the inhabitants of the small hotel of the second line can be all in a hundred meters from the beach.

If a hotel second line It is at a considerable distance from the beach, then the delivery of resting to the sea can be organized on buses or funny electric vehicles. By the way, the electric vehicles can be used in the hotel's first line, if the hotel's territory, in the opinion of the owners, is too extensive and difficult to surpasses for a raised tourist. Sometimes the second-line hotels are connected to the beach underground galleries, or vice versa, suspended bridges. Moreover, the underground gallery can really turn out to be a gallery in the sense of a collection of various works of art, paintings, statues and other pleasant decorations of our life. Specify all these details from our managers.

IN second Line hotelsexcept more attractive prices, often there is a wider range of services - massage, sauna, children's and sports grounds and the like. Or even a whole water park (!) How, for example, at the hotel Titanic in Hurghada, Egypt. So, before abandoning the second line, consult with our manager.

Types of beaches.

Beaches are different. Complete a small livestock by type (types) of the beaches. It will be useful.

  • Sand beach . Differ in the color of sand - white and black.
    White sand is ordinary sea sand. Each sandbank of his progress of the courtyards of the surf and the weather. You go to him and absorb its energy. Your children at this time build their own worlds from it.
    The black sand has a volcanic origin and is a washed with a fitted small particles of frozen lava. Naturally, such beaches are found only near the volcanoes. For example, in Canaries and Sicily.
    Since not every section of the sea coast is a ready-made beach, sometimes it is created artificially. In Egypt, for example, on some (I repeat, on some) They bring sand from the nearby desert and smear it along the shore. Well, since the sand in the desert last time took a marine bath for many millions of years ago, the quality of such beaches is not always good. In the sense of the sand is meant. Otherwise, everything is there at the level.
    For rest with children sand beach Perfect place.
  • Sand-pebble beach. This is the beach at which time has not yet had time to wipe all the pebbles in the sand. On sand-pebble beach Sand and pebbles can be mixed, and can go strips - first sand, and when entering the sea - pebbles. In any case, such a beach is comfortable for swimming and for sunburn.
  • .


    The beach surface is covered with washed by sea of \u200b\u200bpebbles rounded shape. In size of pebbles they are divided into easy pesticle and melcollow. If a large pebble rises not only the beach, but also a seabed, then pebbles may be harmful and become slippery. Then you need to be careful when entering the sea.


    Size of pebbles melcollow beach Approximately corresponds to the size of buckwheat. Well, maybe a little larger. In my opinion, a small-paced beach is even better than sandy - there is no dust and a pebbles are easily shaken off the body.

  • Shell beach. This type of beach is rarely found. Its surface is removed by crushed shelling shelling residues. Among them are quite sharp pieces, therefore, it is desirable to visit such a beach in a special beach shoe.
  • .


    What would such a good deal about this journey of harsh stones?! Oh yes! Purity! Yes, it is the purity and transparency of water - this is what attractive stony beaches . If you are a fan of swimming in a mask - you will definitely like it. But when entering the sea, you need to try not to slip on the woven boulders. But with children it is better to rest in another place.

  • Concrete beach. What if you have a purest gentle sea under your side, and the shore is very narrow or such that put on it the leg is simply impossible? Known by his wisdom of the brave soldier Sewing would say - nothing can be done here! But there were people who invented concrete beaches. Such beaches are concrete platforms right by the sea, and sometimes raised on the supports from the water. On concrete beaches It is convenient to sunbathe, although the famous share of romance there, of course, is absent. Lanes or steps are used to enter the sea. Often concrete slabs are combined with natural sections of the beaches. You can use such beaches, for example, in Croatia and Montenegro.
  • .


    Saying the "Beach" we usually imagine a gentle coast. And this is true, because the word "beach", translated from Turkic languages, means Lysin (remember - Švy). But words with words, and the shores are and cool enough and then it falls on the slope to arrange the terraces or put the flooring on which you can sunbathe. And in some cases, when the coast rises almost strangling, there is simply to cut down the cliffs in the rock as a niche. (In the photo of the hotel beach Maritim Jolie. Ville Golf. & Resort. (Maritim Jules Ville), Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.)

Bathing season (he is the beach season).

Beach rest, unfortunately, not devoid of flaws. If you do not count the ban to swim for buys and the dangers of walking with a lack of nose, then its main disadvantage will be dependent on the weather - on the beach you can relax only during beach (bathing) season. Therefore, a tourist going to devote his holidays to rest on the beach should know when and in which resorts there is a swimming season. To answer this question, I created a small base of climatic data in the resorts of Russia and the world and identified the periods when you can and I want to swim.

The criteria for determining the beach season take such:

All criteria are taken relative to the average monthly climatic indicators.

Beach (bathing) season.

Looking at this table you will definitely have some questions. For example, why in Sochi and Crimea the swimming season is so short - only two months. And in the Maldives, it turns out, only three months are bathed!

Unfortunately, I can't help with anything here - such is the statistics and these criteria selected by us. But you can get the answer to your questions - go to the page Bathing season . There you will have the opportunity to change the criteria of the beach season to your taste, or simply see detailed data on the climate of the resort.

Okay at sea.

Sunset in the sea for beach holidays it's important. In most cases, the occasion in the sea is the same as the beach. But there are also some "puff pastries", as, for example, in Turkey in Beldibi. Here the beach begins with the sand, then there is pebbles, go to the sea on the stones, and swimming over the sandy bottom!

Depending on how and with whom you are going to rest the criteria can be directly opposite. Therefore, there can be no general recipes.
What you need to pay attention to.
If you do not know how to swim, or are going to relax with small children, then the occasion should be smooth and gentle. It is desirable that the bottom was either sandy, or small. When relaxing with children it is better to exclude concrete beaches and beaches S. stony sunset in the sea.
However, and the halted sunset has disadvantages - if in coastal waters are found sea hedgehog , I accidentally coming on it. You will receive if not spoiled vacation, then, at least, several sad days with a doctor call from the insurance company, turning out the needle and a few dressings.


The most problematic approach to the sea - rocky. Go to the sea on sharp, sword algae slippery stones is not art, but a rather dangerous test. Oddly enough, children pass it easier for adults. Nonetheless, resting with children on the beach with a stony occupancy in the sea is not recommended.

On the beaches with a stony occasion, it is very desirable to use a special beach shoeswhich will protect your feet from sharp stones and slightly reduce the risk of slipping. Purchase such shoes, as a rule, you can directly in the resort. It costs from 5 to 15 dollars depending on the quality, materials and ... your presentability.

Capitalistic thirst for profit (nothing personal, just a Soviet stamp) pushes the hosts of beach hotels to correct the congenital flaws of the beaches with a stony sunset. In the photo you see the easiest and cheapest, but very effective way of a convenient approach to such beaches - White Ridge is bags with sandwhich laid the walkway along the bottom of the sea. It is very popular in children and people suffering from hydrophobia. But the most common use is to enter the sea and.

Coral reefs.

Coral reefs Beautiful, but it is simply impossible to enter them into the sea. It happens that the reefs are quite strongly limited to the space for swimming. In such cases on good beaches In the ridge reefs, special passages are cut, or build an overpack for which you can go beyond the reef line, as can be seen in the photo.

The height of the tide.

The occasion in the sea depends on the height of the tide-slope. Wonderful during the tide, the beach during the low tide may be very uncomfortable for the right - who fled down from the shore of the water can expose the very unpleasant bottom of which you will have to break the knee in the water for quite a while, where finally can be saved.

Scared? Do not! The owners of hotels know this situation perfectly and equip their beaches. estacades, sometimes quite long, for which during the low tide can be comfortably and safe to welcome. And this photo is made just with such an overpass. So in a good beach hotel you can swim regardless of the lunar phases and the location of the planets!

Artificial facilities for entering the sea.

In general, by definition pier This is a port structure for the approaching of ships on both sides. Often it is done in the form of a dam. But in tourism it beautiful word Used to designate flooring on pileson which vacationers sunbathe and from which it is convenient to flop right into the sea, without spending time on the occasion of it. Pierce helps a lot with a stony occurrence, and romanticity adds.

This is a floating bridge. But in the beach holiday, it is not used as a crossing from one shore to another, but as a convenient approach to the sea, especially on the beaches with a stony approach.

Pontoons are metal and plastic. For a beach holiday, the most popular plastic - they do not rake under the sun and they are pleased to come with bare feet. The lack of pontoons is that with strong excitement it has to be removed, for example, departing away to the sea, where the wave is not so cool.

Whose beach?

Beach hotel ( beach Hotel.) One way or another, should have a beach at its disposal. The form of ownership of the beaches has two specific options and one vague version, or, as they are called in the people, "wild":

  1. Municipal (State, Royal) Property for the beach. In most states of the world, the coastline of the sea belongs to the state or the monarch. As a rule, they are transferred to the management of them by local municipalities that provide public beaches, including hotels. Examples of such states are Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Thailand Well, etc ..
    Unfortunately, in Russia, where the coastline is federal property, the efficiency of beaches on a low level. In this regard, on December 16, 2013, Deputy Prime Minister D. Kozak offered to transfer them from federal property directly to the municipal. Municipalities, in turn, must transfer beaches to the hotel concession, so that they contained them in proper condition. The Deputy Prime Minister is naive (?) It assumes that such concessions will in no case turn the beaches in private areas ...
  2. Private property on the beach. States that admit private property on the coastline of the seas are not much, but they are. Among them are Egypt, Dominican Republic, Morocco, Ukraine. ... In these countries, beach hotels can really have a private beach.
  3. Wild (None) Beach. Under the wild beach is understood to be an unequipped for swimming and recreation, a sector of the coastline, which at its own fear and risk is used by people just for swimming and recreation. The coastline on which the wild beach is located almost always belongs to the state, but a specific economic entity that controls it as a beach is not.

For organized beach holidays are used only municipal and private beaches. And here we again have several options, which are useful to know when choosing a beach hotel.

Hotels with private beach.

When we read in the advertisement of the hotel that it has own beachThis does not mean that the beach is owned by the right of ownership. As we already know, in most countries, property on the coastline is state. "Own beach" In this case, means in one way or another the hotel has exceptional right to use the beach.

In practice, the hotel can have a "own beach" in the following ways:

  • rent or, if possible, the purchase of private property separation of the coast And the arrangement on it is the beach.
  • rent a part or all municipal Beach.

For vacationers, the form of property does not have. But tenant hotels have all the time to think about the preservation of their rental rights. For example, in France, the rights for renting the beaches are revised every five years.

As a rule, their own beaches have hotels of the first line. Very rarely found option when your own beach has a second line.

Hotel with your own beach It is the most preferred selection for a beach holiday. In this case, in the hotels of the first line, the beach is adjacent directly to the hotel, and all hotel services are available permanently. All beach inventory on the beach - umbrellas, sun beds, towels are usually provided free of charge. The beach itself can additionally have a pier or a pontoon from which it is convenient to enter the sea. Yes, the Beach bar will work a few meters from the place where you sunbathe.

Own beaches are also preferable in terms of safety of tourists - Foreign people on them, usually do not allow. I say "usually" because in some countries it is impossible to close access to the population for rented and even private beaches.

Rent a beach. Hotels in the second line.


Hotels in the second line Physically located so that the beach can not adjoin directly to the hotel. In addition, hotels in the second line because they are located on the second line that the first line is already busy. That is, to rent or purchase an unoccupied area of \u200b\u200bthe coast already nowhere. And in most cases, the problem with the beach in the hotel's second line is solved in the following ways:

  • rent a part of the municipal beach
  • rent a part of the beach hotel is the first line.
  • and the third, less common way - it happens that the hotel and the first and second line belongs to one owner. Then hotels use one beach together.

On rented beaches of hotels in the second line beach equipment - umbrellas, canopies and sun beds are usually provided free of charge. Towels are not issued in all hotels and the Beach bar is also rarely present.

Beach rest on the municipal beach.


Besides beach hotels There are also ordinary city hotelsAnd just the pensions are different. They do not have any beaches or their own, nor rented - their task to provide you with accommodation, and for the beach guests should think independently. And where are the poor companion sent to Canary (not to be confused with just "Nara"!)? Of course, municipal Beach! Moreover, it will go there on the general reasons. That is, it will be necessary to pay for the entrance to the beach (the entrance can be free), for the umbrellas-sun beds and towels, if there are. Thus, the resting receives the entire spectrum of beach services, including the Beach Bar, but only pays all this in place.

How much is the beach visit? In the photo you see municipal Beach Jumeira Beach Park in Dubaion which I was saved from the heat of Arabian. The entrance cost 5 DHS ($ 1.34), umbrella - 10dhs ($ 2.74). Good reasonable prices and excellent beach quality. By the way, the hotel I lived provided free bus to the beach.

In countries with a developed beach recreation industry, municipal beaches have high quality. For example, Spain with their own exclusively Municipal beaches over the years over the years ranked first in the world in terms of quantity.

Wild beach.


Wild beach… BR-R-R, straight wool on the uplift, stands up. But in fact, everything can be very not bad, but sometimes it's just great! After all, the main problem is not that the beach is wild, but in the fact that people sometimes come wild - leave behind rubbish, inscriptions on the rocks. Well, remember, probably, we all come from there, from the caves. But some are there and remained ...

However, pretty sad, back to the beaches and beach holidays. Of course, no guide will recover you to swim on the wild beach - There is no equipment, no cleaning is not produced, there are no rescuers, "amenities" too. But it happens here such a beauty - in front of you a piece of the famous wild Beach in Beldibi, Turkey. Tourists I. local residents I am pleased to bathe here.

The main condition that must be observed when bathing on a wild beach is security. The occasion in the sea should be injurious, do not swim away, do not swim with strong excitement of the sea. And it is desirable that you be on this wild beach not quite in full solitude. Just in case.

Beach quality and blue flag.


Blue flag - Beach quality sign.

If you want to relax on the beach, the quality of which is perfectly accurately and uncompromisingly complies with all the highest international standards of cleanliness, safety and comfort, you need a beach that flies blue flag With a white circle in the middle and three waves in it! This is a special mark to which the International Federation of Environmental Education - FEO (Foundation for Environmental Education - Fee) notes top quality beaches In countries that take part in a special program "Blue Flag". Beach quality, confirmed Blue flag, is a higher and indisputable assessment recognized worldwide.
Read more about the program "Blue Flag", criteria quality beaches And you can find out the program participating programs on our website in the section.

The only thing you can regret in connection with the program is just that while not all states take part in it. For instance, EgyptOur favorite EgyptAnd not yet noted by any blue flag. In consolation, we note we note that Spain, Greece and Turkey are world leaders in quantity blue flags.
And we love them for it even more!

Reading offers travel companies, we often encounter the terminology, the meaning of which is not fully understood.

The hotel of the first line is always more expensive than the hotel of the second or third lines. Why is the extra charge take and is it always justified? We'll figure out...

Rules of coastal lines

If you follow the letter of the Rules of Hotel Associations of most countries of the world, the classification of lines provides for the following rules:

  • The 1st line - hotels are located directly on the seafront, the distance from the doors of the hotel to the nearest beach is not more than 100 meters. Between the hotel and the beach there can be neither a promenade, no roads, no barriers, neither more than other hotels. The distance at the same time is taken by geometric - between the hotel and the sea in a straight line. Given that the hotel of the first line can be located in the mountains, and a winding path leads to the beach, the actual distance may be a little more, but no more than 150 meters. Most often, the first line hotels have their own beaches, a visit to which free of charge for guests of these hotels. These are usually 4 * and 5 * hotels, although there are also "Triška";
  • The 2nd line - between the beach and the hotel there is a Promenade (a walking alley along the coast) or ordinary road. The nearest beach is not more than 200 meters (directly). Between the sea and the beach still should not be other hotels. Most hotels in the second line have their own beaches, some invite their guests to the nearest public beach (level 3 *). From the second line to the beach, most often the hotel transport does not go, they will have to get independently;
  • The 3rd, 4th and 5th lines are urban hotels, the distance to the beaches are over 300 meters. Among this type of hotels there are high-level establishments - 4 * and 5 *. In this case, guests are provided for special transport to the beaches. Depending on the level of your tour, they can be used without restrictions or for a symbolic fee. Own beaches for hotels 3 lines - rarity. Most often here offer customers to relax next to the excellent pool with both sea and fresh water. The cost of relaxation in the hotels of urban type, far from the beaches, is significantly lower than in hotels by the sea, but the level of comfort is no less, even the opposite.

And how in life?

All of the listed rules belong to Europe. Here, the compliance of the order is followed by numerous associations, corporations, ministries of tourism and the like bureaucrats. But the East is a delicate matter, therefore, in Egypt, everything can be somewhat different:

  • The first line in Egypt will be considered a hotel located near the sea (up to 100 meters), but the presence of an obstacle to the promenade or a lively highway is not considered an obstacle. The main thing is that there are no other hotels in front of the hotel. This rule is not mandatory. Old hotels that were built 20-30 years ago, most likely in fact are on the shore and have their own beach. But new hotels often "sin" are not too reliable information in their advertising booklets. Exit? Before booking a tour, carefully read the hotel's photos online, read the reviews (most importantly, so that they are specific, and not common and enthusiastic, many people like writing reviews for small money);
  • In Egypt, you can rarely find a third or fourth line hotel. Most likely, in the booklet, the question of the coastal lines will be cleverly covered by phrases of the type: "There is a great beach", "Sea can be seen from the window of each second room", "a chic pool for a discerning public." If the coastline is not specified, be prepared for the fact that your hotel will be located in the urban quarter. Holidays in such hotels is rarely expensive, but if you came to the sea, then prepare for a cute young alladin at the reception on your legal question about the beach will answer an indication where you can find a bus stop, "which in 30 minutes Takes you to a chic public beach, where everything is free. " How to deal with it? You are interested in the availability of the beach at the hotel, the cost of entering the nearest private "shores", the presence of your own hotel transport.

Choosing a tour, remember: only you decide where you will rest. Require full information about hotels, beaches, living conditions, transport. Check everything yourself on tourist forums, on the sites of feedback, look at the photos. Specify questions, get answers. To understand all "Egyptian" tricks is quite simple. But it is necessary to do it before you boarded. If for you on the trip, the main attractions of the ancient and exotic countryYou will just have to stay at the hotel with a good pool. You can light up here. If you just need sea, sand, beach umbrella and comfortable sun bed, then choose the hotel of the first line - this is for you!

Once our distant ancestors on their travels focused on the stars. Stars helped them to lay the route and not get lost on the endless expanses of the earth.

For today's travelers, the stars continue to serve as landmarks. Only no longer in search of the road, but in choosing its endpoint - hotel or hotels, considering, first of all, their "star". And for experienced, and for beginner travelers, the criterion here is one: "The more - the better."

Unfortunately, some common classification system, which would be accepted all over the world, still does not exist. In different centers, and often within the same country in different regions, there are criteria for estimating the level of hotels. WTO (World Tourist Organization) has been struggling for bringing the system for assessing the level of service to some general standards, but so far unsuccessfully. The requirements they exhibit today are no more than a recommendation.

But, nevertheless, certain general requirements for the comfort and quality of service are still trying to adhere to everywhere.

In the hotels of the same category in different places, a set of services provided and quality of service can essentially distinguish. But there is a certain minimum that allows a tourist at least to navigate what it can expect from a hotel of one or another level. So…

Hotels without category

A huge number of hotels worldwide has no category. This is the biggest group. There may be completely modest hotels that cannot reach at least one star, and luxurious suites for which the category is below their dignity.

So the absence of stars does not mean at all that the concepts of service and comfort does not exist here. Most often in tourist catalogs hotels and hotels outside the category still assign some level of "star" - so that tourists can get some kind of service level.

1 and 2 Star Hotels

1 star hotels are designed for those who need to spend somewhere to spend the night and put themselves in order. It does not mean that everything is bad. Most often, these are small hotels that a small area does not allow the bath or shower room.

  • In such hotels there must be at least one toilet for 5 rooms, not less than two bathrooms on the floor.
  • On the floor there will be a refrigerator with a TV, room service is not provided. However, the room must necessarily have a mirror, sink, towel.
  • It should be cleaned every day, but to change underwear - no less often than once every five days.
  • As for nutrition, the presence of at least the dining room is not mandatory.
  • All the same on the floor TV, refrigerator and bathrooms, not less than two.
  • Also one toilet is five rooms, but it can be in the room.
  • Lingerie and towels should be changed more often - already in 3-4 days.
  • In the hotels of this category, there should be a dry-cleaner service and laundry service - not necessarily in the hotel itself, but take things from the guest.
  • The most important difference is some kind of dining room, cafe or restaurant. True, if the numbers are less than 50, this may not be. Power can only be provided in the form of breakfast. During breakfasts there may be room service, but it is not necessary.

Most Popular - Hotels 3 Star

3 star hotels are already presenting something. This is the most popular group, and the most diverse. It happens that a three-star hotel in Europe is better than five star, for example, in Egypt.

In the ratio of price-quality it is optimal, in general, option.

  • Toilet, bathroom (or shower), refrigerator, TV - everything must be present in the room.
  • If required climatic conditionsmust necessarily be air conditioning.
  • IN hotel 3 stars It may not be a bar or restaurant, but to organize access to them (for example, in a nearby hotel) you are required.
  • There should be a pool, a parking lot or at least a parking lot near the hotel.
  • There must be either a business center, or access to minimum office equipment - a computer, fax, telephone.
  • Phones, as well as safes, can be in the rooms, but it is not mandatory.
  • Room service in such hotels should be throughout the day, towels must change every day, and underwear - every 3 days.

Hotels 4 and 5 stars

  • The rooms must be toilet, shower, TV, refrigerator, air conditioning, telephone, safe, mini bar; In the bathroom - hygiene and hair dryers.
  • Menten towels and underwear must be removed too.
  • Main differences 5 star hotels - This is an area of \u200b\u200brooms and a restaurant menu. In five-star hotels, the larger number of rooms has a good view from the window, they can provide a more extensive range of various services.
  • On the territory and both categories of hotels should be restaurants, 24-hour bars, pools, parking lots, business centers, conference rooms, currency exchange points.
  • Room service is usually round the clock. But for hotels 4 stars it can only be during the day.

Hotels and coastline

In addition to stars, there is still gradation of hotels by their location relative to the beach, the so-called. coast lines.

The location of the hotel on the first coastline means that it is in the immediate vicinity of the beach, the maximum across the road from him.

The second line involves 5-10 minutes walk to the beach, hotels on this line are separated from the shore any buildings, such as other hotels or parks.

The higher the conditional coastline number, the farther from the beach is the hotel. Usually, the first coastline - These are 4 star hotels and 5 stars, but 3 stars can be on the first coastline.

Tip! When choosing a hotel, it is best to navigate not to the number of stars, but proceed from what exactly you came and what you want to get from the rest.
  • If you plan to appear in the room only to spend the night, then it may not make sense to overpay for services that you will not use.
  • If you ride a lot yourself, it is worth paying attention to the availability of transport.
  • Want the seas - choose the hotel to stand next to the beach or there was a debugged delivery.

Everyone has its own concepts about good holidayAnd you can always find a hotel that meets your requirements.

There are various classifications of hotels - spelled, "keys", "crowns", "points" and finally on the stars. Most often European consumer hotel services Enjoy the "star" classification.

1* - These class hotels are located in quiet inaccessible places. They are small, in their location up to 10 numbers. Nutrition is not provided, but sometimes it is possible to get a modest breakfast for a fee. From amenities in the room - a wardrobe or hanger, chairs, washbasin, mirror, towels. Cleaning - daily. Linen change - every 7-8 days, towels - every 3-4 days. At least two bathrooms on the floor and one toilet no more than five rooms.

Hv1 - Hotel club system first category with accommodation in cottages. Approximately corresponds to the three-, four-star. They are distinguished by good animation, a large landscaped area, but the rooms are small.

Hv2.- Club hotel lower second category.

Second coastline - These are hotels, between the territory and the beach of which is the road or promenade.

More than three dozen and choose the best not easy. To help you with this, we made this review.

As we live in this resort for several years, you can fine-focus in areas and places where hotels are located. In our opinion, almost everyone goes here for the sake of a beach holiday, and not for entertainment, excursions and shopping, which are in the second and third positions. Accordingly, the main criterion will be the closeness of the hotel to the sea and, if possible, housing should be located in a quiet place so that there are no bars with music and lively roads nearby.

Therefore, the hotels located in the city center, near the nightlife and Volkin Street, immediately dropped. From those that remained, we chose the best options next to the sea, having many good reviews.

It is worth noting that in Pattaya hotels 3 stars rarely stand on 1 lines, because it is prerogative more expensive hotels. However, you can find offers located across the road from the beach or in a pair of walking distance from the sea.

In our top we chose one hotel at each of the popular Pattaya beaches. Although they are in quiet places, but there is all the infrastructure with massage salons, restaurants, shops. Quickly you can get to the markets or nightlife. That is, you can combine a relaxed beach holiday with entertainment.

By the way, many of the hotels are more profitable to book tours, check on Travelata and Level.travel sites (Misto.travel for Ukraine). There you can compare prices at once all the tour operators.

The hotel is located in the northern part, in a relatively peaceful place. The beach is immediately across the road (on 1 lines there are no hotels at all).

For 5-7 minutes, you can walk to the shopping center Central Marina, in which there is an inexpensive hypermarket Big C. So much to go to the show of Transvestites Alcazar and Tiffany, as well as the Museum of Art of Paradise. In 10 minutes and 10 baht, you can be on Wolking Street, if you sit at Sugteo, which is held next to the hotel.

There is a swimming pool, jacuzzi, restaurant, bar and massage salon.

- Probably the most popular hotel from the Russians on the beach. Located two steps from the beach. On the beach itself, there is no hotels just because it is at the foot of the hill and all the accommodation is located on the hill.

Near the hotel there are mini markets, restaurants, massage salons, you can find bars. Many inscriptions in Russian, as this is the most popular area from our compatriots. In 15 minutes you can walk to famous sights - Observation deck And Big Buddha.

It is worth noting that the Pratomanak area is somewhat isolated from the main infrastructure of Pattaya with her shopping centers and entertainment. Before stopping public Songteo, you will also have to go about 15-20 minutes. But for a beach holiday, this place is well suited.

On the territory there is a swimming pool, fitness center, massage, restaurant, bar, souvenir shop, free parking.
