LK Emerald Beach

My husband and I have just returned home from our second stay at the L.K. and the only thing we have to complain about is the weather! Rain, rain and more rain which was beyond anybody's control! The only good thing is that when it does rain, it never goes cold. When we booked the hotel, our 'special request' was for Room 2712 which is the room we stayed in during our previous stay and we were delighted to receive confirmation that we had been allocated this room which is a 'wet room' i.e. a walk-in shower, no bath which made it more spacious. This room also has sea views from two different angles which is a bonus. Most of the staff recognised us as returning guests which made us feel at home. Check-in was a breeze as was our middle of the night check out. We were surprised at how quiet the hotel was compared to our previous stay. However, this meant that there was no queuing for anything at breakfast or at the egg station. The breakfast buffet was more or less the same every day but it catered for just about every taste. The diningroom staff greeted us every morning with 'good morning' and big smiles. The beds and pillows are super comfy and our room attendant kept our room/bathroom spick and span. She also kept us well supplied with drinking water. There were always plenty of sunbeds and parasols available by the pool and three steps down from the end of the pool led straight onto the beach. Unfortunately, the water hides lots of rocks which makes swimming very difficult but that is something the hotel cannot control but you need to be aware. A shout-out to the Shuttle drivers who were always very accommodating to take us where we wanted to go. Download What's App and you can ring/message Reception and request the shuttle to pick you up on the main road. Very handy. We had the best time, despite the weather (it wasn't all bad) and if and when we return to Pattaya, the L.K. Emerald (room 2712) will be top of our list. I am surprised at some of the negative reviews. We had the best time! Handy tip! Take your own beach chairs if you like to sit on the beach.
