Escape to Paradise: Your East Shore Pattaya Dream Awaits!
Escape to Paradise: My Pattaya Dream… or a Slightly Messy Reality? A Review for the Real Traveler!
Okay, let's be real. Trying to capture the essence of Escape to Paradise: Your East Shore Pattaya Dream Awaits! in a single review is like trying to wrangle a herd of excitable monkeys. There's just so much crammed in there! But hey, I'm up for the challenge, even if it means occasionally stumbling over myself. SEO, schmee-E-O! This is about feeling. This is about knowing if this place is the right fit for you. So pull up a metaphorical beach chair, grab a virtual Chang beer (or whatever floats your boat), and let's dive in.
Accessibility: (Mostly Good, But Don't Expect Miracles)
Right off the bat, I gotta say – accessibility is a mixed bag. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests, and I saw an elevator. Hooray! But it’s Pattaya, folks. Sidewalks can be a minefield of potholes and rogue motorbikes. Getting around outside? Definitely requiring some planning. Inside the hotel though? Seems okay, though I didn't fully test the full accessibility, but there are elevators and ramps.
Cleanliness and Safety: (Feeling Safe…Mostly)
This is where Escape to Paradise really shines. Considering the current climate (and let's be honest, Pattaya's reputation), the emphasis on cleanliness is a HUGE selling point. They go HARD with the sanitizing, and they're serious about staff training. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Masks? Expected. I felt genuinely safe, which is a massive weight off your shoulders when you're on vacation. The “daily disinfection in common areas” and "individually-wrapped food options" were great, and the "anti-viral cleaning products" gave me peace of mind. The rooms are also sanitized between stays which, for those of us used to the less-than-perfect standards on the road, hits the mark! However, room sanitization opt-out? Tempting. The daily disinfection in common areas is a big win. Feeling safe after a long day of exploring is important and they do a good job here.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: (Food, Glorious Food…And a Few Hiccups)
Alright, buckle up, foodies! This is where it gets interesting. Escape to Paradise claims a lot when it comes to dining. Multiple restaurants! International cuisine! Asian breakfast! Okay, okay, let’s break it down.
- The Good Stuff: The breakfast buffet? Surprisingly decent. Okay, so maybe the "Asian breakfast" wasn't the authentic explosion of street food I was hoping for. More like a safe, sanitized version. But hey, there was fresh fruit, decent coffee, and enough variety to keep even a picky eater happy. I'm a sucker for a Western breakfast, and they delivered! The coffee shop and poolside bar were awesome, easy to get quality coffee and a refreshing cocktail.
- The Not-So-Good Stuff: The a la carte menu at the restaurant was a bit hit-or-miss. One night, the Pad Thai was heavenly. The next night? Blah. The bar selection was a little repetitive after a while. The thing is, the "happy hour" was pretty non-existent, but hey, at least they have a bar so you can enjoy a drink.
- Anecdote Time: I ended up spending almost my entire first afternoon by the pool, and my only issue was that the snack bar was a teeeeeny bit slow at times. But hey, I was on vacation. Relaxing by the pool with a cold drink and the sun on my face was worth the wait.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: (Spa Day…Yes, Please!)
Okay, okay. This is the real reason you're coming to Pattaya, right? To unwind. To escape your everyday grind. And Escape to Paradise? They get it. They really, REALLY get it.
- The Spa: Listen, I'm not usually a spa kind of guy. But after a few hectic days of navigating the chaos of Pattaya, I caved. And wow. The spa is just… chef's kiss. Seriously. I got a traditional Thai massage, and I swear, I think my muscles sighed with relief. The body scrub? Divine. The sauna afterward? Pure bliss. The "pool with view" was just magical. I could have stayed in that sauna all day, but the hotel was pretty darn beautiful.
- The Pools: They have not one, but two outdoor swimming pools. One with a swim-up bar. Need I say more?
- The Fitness Center: I, uh, glanced at the fitness center. It looked well-equipped. Let's just say, after all the delicious food, a gym sounded…less appealing. But it's there for those of you with more willpower than me!
Rooms: (Comfy, but Not Always Paradise)
The rooms are generally pretty comfy, but again, don’t set your expectations too high.
- The Wins: Air conditioning (essential!), free Wi-Fi (thank you, sweet internet gods!), and a coffee maker. The beds? Surprisingly comfortable. Blackout curtains? A lifesaver. The free bottled water was a nice touch, too.
- The Room Drama: I was lucky to get a room with a decent view, and the "window that opens" was a nice touch for that fresh breeze.
Services and Conveniences: (Lots of Options, Varying Quality)
- The Good: The 24-hour front desk and safety deposit boxes. "Contactless check-in/out"? Genius!
- The Okay: Laundry service and dry cleaning available. The car park is free, which is always a nice touch.
- The Needs Work: I tried the food delivery. It took a bit. But, hey, I'm not complaining, I was on vacation!
I wasn't feeling too comfortable with the "cashless payment service," since they still have a "cash withdrawal" option.
For the Kids: (Generally Family-Friendly)
They have "family/child friendly" facilities, like the babysitting service and "kids facilities," along with the kids meal which is a good touch.
Getting Around: (Mostly Smooth, But Be Smart)
- Airport transfer: Really helpful, great to not worry about getting to your hotel.
- Taxi Service: I used this a few times and it was great.
Internet Access:
This is a big one for the modern traveler and the place delivers! It's advertised, and it works. Wi-Fi in all rooms! I did use the "Internet access – wireless" and it worked like a charm.
The Verdict: Should You Escape to Paradise?
For:
- People who value cleanliness and safety.
- Those looking for a relaxing, spa-centric vacation.
- Anyone wanting a good base to explore Pattaya.
Maybe Not:
- If you're a hardcore foodie looking for authentic Thai experiences.
- If you are looking for absolute luxury and perfection (this is Pattaya, remember?).
My Final Thoughts:
Escape to Paradise is a solid choice for a Pattaya getaway. It's not perfect, but it's genuinely trying to deliver a great experience. The staff are friendly, the location is convenient, and the spa is an absolute game-changer and the cleaning efforts are top-notch. Just be prepared for a few little imperfections, embrace the chaos, and you'll have a fantastic time.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're heading to East Shore Pattaya Resort in Thailand, and the official itinerary is about to get a serious makeover. Forget perfectly curated Instagram grids; this is gonna be a raw, real-life, possibly disastrous, and hopefully hilarious adventure. Here we go!
East Shore Pattaya: Operation "Don't Die From Pad Thai" - My (Mostly) Unscheduled Schedule
(Disclaimer: Timing is a suggestion at best. Expect delays, questionable decisions, and a whole lotta sweat.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Mango Tango Betrayal
- Morning (or whenever the heck I finally wake up after that wretched overnight flight from [Insert your city here]): Land in Bangkok – I’m already sweating just thinking about it. Airport chaos ensues. Find my pre-booked transfer – or hopefully, find a transfer, because I'm pretty sure I booked it through a site that promises "magical unicorn transportation." Actually, maybe I dreamt that. Either way, pray to the travel gods for a driver who speaks even a little bit of English and understands basic hand gestures involving pointing towards Pattaya.
- Mid-Day (or whenever the car finally escapes Bangkok’s traffic jam, which feels like a punishment for something I definitely did): Arrival at East Shore Pattaya. Check-in. Attempt to look vaguely put-together, despite the fact that my hair looks like a bird's nest and I probably reek of airplane air. Assess the room. Cross fingers it's not haunted by particularly aggressive, mosquito-borne spirits.
- Early Afternoon (or whenever my stomach starts a full-blown hunger strike): Food hunt! This is the most crucial part. The resort has restaurants, sure, but I'm on the hunt for REAL Thai food. Find a local place, preferably one that looks less like it actively attracts tourists. Order something spicy. Regret it immediately. Order more water.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: The Mango Tango Debacle: This is where things get interesting. I saw a mango smoothie at the resort and felt like I deserved a treat. Ordered it. Took a sip. Euphoria! Paradise in a glass. Then, I decided to be clever and order another, assuming it was a good thing. I made a bet to my friend that I could finish two in 30mins. Well, let's just say, I'm pretty sure my blood sugar levels hit the atmosphere. I was jittery, I couldn't stop talking, and I was convinced I could understand Thai. The after-effects? Let's just say the next few hours involved a lot of pacing, regretting all my life choices, and a desperate search for something, anything, resembling a sensible snack. Lessons learned? Never underestimate the power of mango, and the importance of pacing yourself.
- Evening: Sunset (hopefully). Find a beach. Sip a (less intense) drink. Try to maintain a semblance of composure. Decide on a reasonable bedtime (aim for 10 PM, realistically, probably 11:30 PM).
Day 2: Sun, Sand, and the Search for the Perfect Pad Thai (And My Sanity)
- Morning: Attempt to wake up before noon. Fail. Eventually drag myself out of bed. Sunscreen application: crucial. Pray to the SPF gods for protection. Contemplate the vastness of the resort pool. Think about swimming in. Don't swim in.
- Mid-Day: The Great Pad Thai Quest Begins! Today's mission: locate the holy grail of Pad Thai. This involves wandering, sniffing, and potentially pointing wildly at things on menus I can’t read. Seek out local food vendors - they're your friends. Embrace the potential for culinary adventure! Or, you know, food poisoning. Fingers crossed for the former.
- Afternoon: Beach time! Finally. Find a comfy spot on the beach (away from screaming children and overly enthusiastic vendors). Read a book (maybe). Stare at the ocean. Wonder if I should finally learn how to swim. Get distracted by the sheer beauty of everything.
- Late Afternoon: Back to the resort. Shower off the sand. Contemplate the possibilities of a Thai massage (nervous giggles). If I'm feeling brave, maybe explore the local market. If I'm feeling exhausted, nap time!
- Evening: Dinner (hopefully Pad Thai-related, if the gods are kind) and a chill evening. Maybe try a karaoke bar (but only if I have a significant amount of liquid courage). Or, you know, just watch some terrible TV in my room and revel in the glorious lack of responsibilities.
Day 3: Culture Clashes and the Aftermath of Banana Pancakes
- Morning: Consider a day trip! Maybe a temple of some kind. Or maybe a floating market. Or maybe just another hour lounging at the resort's pool. The world is my oyster (or, you know, a lukewarm pool).
- Mid-Day: Whatever day trip I chose! Hopefully, I’ll learn something about Thai culture. Or at least, not offend anyone too badly. The temples, the golden statues, the vibrant colors… it's all quite overwhelming. Take pictures. Try (and probably fail) to bargain at a market.
- Afternoon: That local place from Day 1? Back again! This time I know everything. The menu, the best place to sit, the waiter. I am a local now (in my mind).
- Late Afternoon: Banana pancake time.
- Evening: PACKING! Oh, the joy. Try to shove everything back into my suitcase. Fail miserably. Accept the fact that I'll be wearing the same clothes on the plane ride home. Stare wistfully at the sunset, wishing that I could just stay forever.
Day 4: Departure and the Longing for Sticky Rice
- Morning: Last breakfast. One last attempt to savor the flavors of Thailand. (Sob, I'll miss the food!)
- Mid-Day: Check out of the resort. Farewell, East Shore Pattaya! Wish me luck in getting to the airport without any major mishaps.
- Afternoon: Try to remember where I parked. Hope I didn't leave anything important in the hotel room.
- Evening: ARRIVE HOME. Immediately start dreaming of my next trip back.
Important Notes (aka, Things That Will Probably Go Wrong):
- Sunburn: Guaranteed. Pack more sunscreen than you think humanly possible.
- Mosquito Bites: They’re coming for me. Bug spray is essential. And maybe a hazmat suit.
- Communication Breakdown: My Thai is nonexistent. Embrace the chaos!
- Eating the Wrong Thing: I'm a foodie. (Or, specifically, someone who loves food, and sometimes eats the wrong things). Expect food adventures. And possibly, regret.
- Getting Lost: It's bound to happen. Embrace the detours. They're often the most memorable parts.
- Overpacking: I'm terrible at it. I'll probably bring everything and the kitchen sink.
- Missing Flights: Possible, probable even.
- Emotional Rollercoaster: I'm easily overwhelmed. Expect happy tears, frustrated sighs, and moments of pure, unadulterated joy.
- Did I mention the sunscreen? Seriously, pack the sunscreen.
This is not just a trip; this is an experience. It might be messy. It might be crazy. It'll probably be everything in-between. But most importantly, it will be mine. And that, my friends, is what truly matters. Wish me luck! (And maybe send emergency supplies of snacks and antacids.)

Escape to Paradise: Your East Shore Pattaya Dream – FAQs (Uh, Probably)
Okay, so... what *is* this "Escape to Paradise" thing, exactly? Sounds suspiciously like a timeshare pitch I almost walked into last Tuesday...
Alright, settle down, conspiracy theorist. Think of it (and this is *my* take, okay?) as a place. A place to, well, escape. Escape all the grey, the deadlines, the relentless ping of your email. Picture this: you, East Shore Pattaya (which, let's be honest, the name alone is already doing some serious work), and a whole lotta sunshine. It’s a resort, fancy-ish apartments (I think they’re called condos, technically), a pool, maybe even some palm trees that haven't *quite* given up on their dream of being Instagram-famous yet. I haven't actually *been* yet, but the brochure's pretty convincing. Except for that one picture of the guy looking overly-gleeful on a jet ski... that felt a little… manufactured.
How do I actually, you know, *get* there? Because Google Maps is telling me to kayak…
Ah, the logistics! That’s where reality slaps you across the face, doesn't it? You'll probably, *probably*, want to fly to U-Tapao International Airport (UTP). Then, I think there's a transfer service. Or maybe a taxi. Or maybe you just, and I'm spitballing here, *rent a car*. Look, I'm good at dreaming up paradise, not at actual travel planning. I'm the "pack a toothbrush... and maybe a towel?" type of person. The brochure probably has the details. Dig around on their website; if it's anything like *other* websites, prepare for a bit of a hunt. My biggest travel tip: learn a few key Thai phrases. Even just "Sawasdee krap/ka" (hello) and "Khop khun krap/ka" (thank you) will get you miles further. Trust me. I learned that the hard way in Barcelona, speaking exclusively in overly-enthusiastic hand gestures and the word "tapas." Bad idea.
What kind of… *stuff* is there to do? Besides, you know, existing in a blissful state?
Okay, the activities. This is where I get *excited*. I mean, obviously there’s the beach. I'm picturing myself right now: sun-drenched, book in hand (maybe a spy novel, something trashy but engaging), waves lapping gently. Pure bliss, right? Then there's the pool. I'm partial to pools. I’m not a great swimmer, but who cares? Floaties are my friends. I envision myself with a cocktail, a questionable floatation device, and a very smug expression. Beyond that? Pattaya is known for a vibrant nightlife. Not necessarily my scene (I’m more of a "early dinner, then sleep" kind of person), but hey, options! There might be watersports (jet skis... see above), maybe some boat trips to nearby islands (Koh Lan is supposed to be amazing). Honestly, I'm hoping for a good spa. A massage? YES. A *long* massage? YES. That's the dream. The brochure hinted at some cultural activities as well, temples and the like. I'm sure I'll make a half-hearted attempt to be cultured. But mostly, I'm going for maximum relaxation.
How much is this going to cost me? Because, let's be honest, I'm already picturing myself eating instant noodles for the next six months.
Ah, the million-dollar question (or maybe the thousand-dollar question, depending on my budget). I haven’t actually booked anything yet! I'm still in the 'dreaming' phase. The prices, from what I've seen (and I've been doing some serious internet stalking of this place), seem to vary depending on the time of year, the type of accommodation, and how many cocktails you plan on ordering. Check! The sooner you book, the better, probably. Also, be aware of those sneaky "hidden fees." They always get you. Read the fine print like your life depends on it. And budget extra for,you know, *things*. Like, I had the insane desire to buy a bright yellow speedo for this trip. It's probably a bad idea. But also… irresistible.
What's the food situation? Do I need to pack a lifetime supply of peanut butter? (Asking for a friend… kind of.)
Alright, food! Important stuff. Southeast Asian cuisine, right? Imagine all the flavors! Spicy, fragrant, fresh... Oh, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. (And, yes, the peanut butter question is relevant. I *understand*.) Pattaya and the surrounding area have a vast array of restaurants, from street food vendors (which, let's be honest, are often the best) to fancy restaurants. I'm anticipating some amazing Pad Thai, maybe some curries, maybe even trying something *really* adventurous. I'm also envisioning lots of fresh fruit. Mangoes! Papayas! All the delicious things! I'm also prepared to eat a *lot* of street food, and I will definitely be visiting a 7/11, those little shops, it's everywhere! Now, let's be real: you might get a tummy ache. Embrace it. It's a part of the experience. But, seriously, pack some Pepto-Bismol too. Just in case. And maybe a jar of peanut butter for those moments of homesickness. I'm not judging.
Is it safe? Because sometimes I get a wee bit anxious about… well, everything.
Okay. Safety. Important. Pattaya has its reputation (and I am very well aware of this). Do your research on local scams and be aware of your surroundings. But generally, Thailand *is* a safe country, but take precautions, and trust your gut. The brochure, of course, paints a rosy picture. Use common sense. Don't flash your cash. Don't walk alone late at night. Be aware of your belongings. I tend to overthink things, so I am already strategizing a way not to get pickpocketed (fanny pack? Probably not. Money belt? Maybe). I'm going to be the most cautious, yet relaxed, tourist ever. Emphasis on the relaxed. I'm also hoping the resort has good security. Because honestly, you can't be *too* careful, right?
Alright, final question: What if it's a total disaster? What if the pool is green, the food is awful, and I'm attacked by aggressive monkeys?
Okay, first of all: *monkeys*. I hadn't even considered monkeys. This is a serious problem. I will need a plan. I'll need to look up aggressive monkey defense strategies. Maybe wear a helmet at all times? Okay, breathe. Look, things can go wrong. Travel is messy. Flights get delayed, your luggage gets lost, the air conditioning breaks. Expect the unexpected. But even if it's not perfect, you're *still* in Pattaya! You're still somewhere warm, with (hopefully) beautiful viewsBook Hotels Now
