Club Seven Hotel (link above) is apparently very nice . . . our strange Moderator jinks' signs of approval are everywhere on this one. The website makes it look quite beautiful. Prices are mid-range and it is a good walk to both the beach and the Paradise. Probably noisy if your room faces the main road.

Agree somewhat with the above statements about Connect. It seems to be an icon or sorts, but we stayed there and I thought the rooms very small, and frankly, not so clean. Very noisy at night if your room faces the street, which didn't bother me so much, but if you're a light sleeper you'll hate it.

Siam Palm is a sweet little place a few blocks away from the Paradise Complex, and a few blocks awayt from the beach ( http://www.siam-palm.com/index2.html ). Just took a look at their website again and the prices have gone up quite a lot since the last time we stayed there. Breakfast is included, and it's excellent.

The Rendezvous Hotel ( http://www.boontarika.com/hotel.htm ) is a good choice if you want to stay in the Paradise Complex, yet stay away from the noise. If you choose it, go for the more expensive but larger rooms. The small rooms are very small.


Cheers ...
