2008-10-12	Novotel Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae The hotel is little bit old and the room was not very clean. As the Novotel seems to work very well with big groups, especially companies seminars and team buildings, the staff doesn t make any extra effort to be polite or helpful.	Very good service!
Iskra Andreeva-Aleksoska 2008-10-06	Novotel Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Great hotel, huge and beautiful garden, suitable for families with small children. Nothing much around, but plenty to do inside the hotel. Would go again.	excellent as always
DM 2008-10-05	Novotel Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Cooool! I like this hotel. It s not expensive. They have many accomodations. I like Jacuzzi but i think it s too small. The breakfast is quite good.
Risto Tuiskula 2008-04-17 until 2008-04-20	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Very nice hotel, good location on the beach which is nice but outside the hotel area there was really nothing to see (street side), just a couple of local restaurants only. We did try both the restaurants and they had good and tasty food allthoug they didn t look very welcoming. The beach is nice and has some local bars with local food. The hotel has nice cafeteria and the spa did a good pedicure. If you look for peace and quite, this is the place.	excellent
Colin Lawrence 2008-03-23 until 2008-03-28	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Hotel is very good, staff very friendly and food is good. I read earlier reports about Karoke next door, lack of sun beds, etc and none of these concerns are valid today. The only thing I would like at the hotel is to have a nice bar where people can go and relax and chat in the evening. What they have is linked to the restaurants and not ideal to relax. The main concern is the area, there is not much to do there and once you have had your meal in the evening, that s it - I have never had so many early nights. The gardens of the hotel are fabulous and the gardeners must be applauded for such a result. Hotel is great for a short stay or if you are a dedicated sun worshipper. Try and go for an upgrade to a suite, I paid 1500 Baht extra a night and it is really worth it, huge balconey, big sitting room, big bedroom, large bathroom, two TVs, twin AC. Colin Lawrence	no concerns
Sally Stevenson & Philip Brown 2007-08-14 until 2007-08-20	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae We loved this hotel! The rooms were spacious and clean, the food delicious and the swimming pools were great. We loved the constant breeze from the sea and no mozzies in sight! There is not much to do in surrounding area but I would definitely recommend a day trip to Koh Samet - the most amazing beach and nice beach bars to relax and have a few drinks. I would definitely stay here again.	Very quick to respond to my questions. Easy and efficient.
Ho Pui Yee 2007-07-03 until 2007-07-06	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae The resort is approx. 10 mins by car from Ban Pae. Only a few restaurants around but the food/drinks in the hotel are quite pricy. There are activities organized by the hotel every day and free shuttle bus to Ban Pae. Rooms are ok and staffs are friendly (although English is not very good). Spa is quite good and worth to try. A nice break with sun and beaches and not too far from Bangkok but not much to do, in particular at night time.	Very good.
Shindy 2007-05-11 until 2007-05-14	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae the hotel was very pleasant and clean. the rooms are a little on the small side and the rear rooms have only foliage and no view. the best rooms are the inside facing the pools. the staff were really friendly but only speak a little english it was sometimes hard getting ourselves understood. overall a great stay and would stay again.	my credit card failed and because no one contacted me or it did not flag up straight away it caused problems when we got to hotel. there should be a way to confirm the booking within 2 hours.
Francis Panych 2007-03-24 until 2007-03-28	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae The staff are very very friendly and efficient. The service is excellent. We have been to this resort many times and will return. It is secluded and a perfect get away if you just want to relax on the beach or by the pool. The breakfast is good. The restaurant food is also good, especially the green mango salad and seafood salad...nice and spicey! The buffet dinner though is really overpriced and not that good.	The booking service was very good and we will use this service again. Sawadee.com was fast and efficient.
Mrs Louise Wolf (UK) 2007-02-22 until 2007-03-08	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae This is the third time we have visited this hotel. It is clean and comfortable and in a quiet area which is less touristy than elsewhere so this is why we like it. I would call it a 3.5 star in comparison to European standards. The service for breakfast and meals in the hotel is a bit laid back and no one comes around to ask you if you would like to order lunch or drinks when you are in the pool areas, which could be seen as a disadvantage to some. There are a couple of very good beach bars one for drinks and snacks and one for meals; both are run by the same Thai couple Pol and Gap (she is an excellent cook) a short stroll away. Also, two restaurants on the main road side of the hotel as well, both good and reasonably priced. (Chomtalay and Kims)Overall we will return!	As always, easy to use, efficient and fast. I would not hesitate to recommend to others.
GASSY Alain 2007-02-19 until 2007-02-25	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae The hotel is situated in a pleasant garden, very nice swimming pools, close to the beach. We had a very pleasant stay, evening buffet set every day in a different place in the garden, on the beach, all around the swimming-pool. The staff does a lot so that we have a pleasant stay. Nice place to rest and enjoy the sea (really warm in february).	First time we use it. Perfect, we will certainly use it again.
Ake Hakansson with family 2007-01-04 until 2007-01-07	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Hello! We came back from Thailand today, den 17th of January, and we think Novotel Rim Pae Rayong is a very good hotel with very good service and we will say that we had a very pleasent time at the hotel. We stayed at this hotel in 2001 also, and we thougt that it was very good even then.	It was very good service and very easy to use!
Mrs Beaty 2006-11-23 until 2006-11-30	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae This is our second stay at the hotel and we think it is great value for a relaxing holiday. We would not hesitate to go back again.	Very efficient service
Fred 2006-04-11 until 2006-04-12	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae schones Hotel, dreckiges Meer (Abfaelle), verkehrstechnisch unguenstig, man kommt ohne Mietwagen nur sehr schlecht weg nice hotel, dirty sea (waste), bad connection with public transport, difficult to go away to see other places	perfect
Alichia Gerber 2006-03-26 until 2006-03-30	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Lovely hotel, very clean, service is good, food is excellent. Works well for old people and families. Not recommended for young newly married couples. Only 2 negative things, shops are far from the resort, very limitted oppertunities to buy clothes and gifts. No Nightlife or clubs are closeby. Only entertainment is the suppers in the resort.	Brilliant service, this is my second time booking through them and only positive things to say about sawadee.com
Mr. Michael Danilschenko 2006-03-19 until 2006-03-22	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Many travellers from Europe with children. I wouldn t call it first class. We payed for a superior room. I don t know if this is superior - it looked like standard to me. Besides this the room was ok. They didn t give us a double bedroom - only twin. As a creative couple we moved the twinbeds together. The view was not seaside. The staff was friendly, the beakfast was outstanding good. Please book with beakfast or pay 300 Baht extra. Pool was large but full of children. The habit of occupying pool chairs with towels in the morning seems to be not exclusivly german. The Hotel is located far off any town. Fortunately there are a few Places to eat next to the Hotel. The Hotel offers tours to the surrounding towns every day. Transport to busstation or next town is free of charge. If this Hotel was full I wouldn t want to stay there. If you spent some more money you can stay really first class at the Rayong Resort Hotel, wich I can really recommend.	Very good - No problem at all
Sue Oliver 2005-12-20 until 2005-12-24	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae If you want a quiet place, this is it - beachfront.... good swimming pool and a choice of restaurants within the hotel itself. There s not much outside hotel except for local restaurants next door and over the road and a few bar/restaurants and shops on the beach... good food and you can sit right on the sand. You can get a local bus outside the hotel and get into Ban Phe or Rayong. We booked deluxe rooms but on arrival were told we could choose from 2 - neither of which looked deluxe (newly renovated but small and with a view of the buildings next door!) They book a lot of tour groups from Scandinavia and apparently these are priority (bad luck about the rest of us!) We insisted they get us a deluxe poolview room and eventually they did - rooms still small but better view. Breakfast buffet is ok - not a big variety. Every night there s a special dinner - usually buffet style served out on the grass by the pool - cheap enough, but many guests go over the road or along the beach. Hotel offers some tours - but our speedboat trip to Samet was cancelled due to not enough guests wanting to go.	Sawadee s service was very good (but hotel needs to offer good rooms to customers who aren t with group tours)
Tomm Tilleskjør 2005-02-24 until 2005-02-28	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae The hotel is truly a great place for relaxing, with an amasing pool area. It is however located somewhat isolated and there is no restaurants or shops around except for a nice beach bar run by a Swede and his firendly staff.	Booking went perfectly!
Mats Lundell 2005-02-19 until 2005-02-25	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Nice hotel with friendly staff and international atmosphere. The pool area was perfect - with sea view. The location was a little isolated (14 km to village) but there were at least some local restaurants nearby.	Reliable and fast response. No problems at all.
Ianhair 2005-02-04 until 2005-02-08	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae highly recommended. very quiet location.	good
Gunilla Nyberg 2005-01-27 until 2005-02-05	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Nice hotel with exellent service. Good for the children with five swimming pools and play ground. Exellent breakfast buffet. Not very much to do in the environment but nice and quiet.	Absolute no problem. It was the first time I booked hotel on internet and I will absolute use Sawadee again if I.m going back to Thailand.

Vincent Tang 2004-09-09 until 2004-09-12	Novotel Coralia Rim Pae Rayong, Rayong, Ban Pae Hotel should prepare two keys to meet guest convenience. The sign is not noticeable and clear enough.	Perfect
