Good experience when I went to Pattaya for the first time with my family. The best experience. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Pattaya has a beautiful sea, especially at night. The atmosphere is great. I like to sit and enjoy the atmosphere there with my family. During the day, Pattaya has many activities to do. The city there is never quiet.

Overall Average! - The trip was according to the plan. They picked up in right time from Holiday Inn Express but the driver has communication issue so we had to struggle . The most unprecedented thing was the car waited for 35 minutes for 4 guests in Bay view hotel and we were waiting in the micro without any prior notice when to re-start or what’s the next destination is. The team who received us from the driver was professional . We waited for 35 mins and then they started the coral island journey. We didn’t know that it will stop in different points such as snorkeling, diving, paragliding etc . My suggestion is if the itinerary should have been clearly mentioned beforehand and the overall plan etc. then it would be easier for us.
Everything else were great . The coral island team who guided us through from the onboarding at the speedboat till we come back was excellent. The Indian food quality was really not up to the mark. It was not at all expected. South Indian food only which really made us disappointed.

Wouldn't recommend unless you are looking for the specific activities they are selling - Not at all what i expected. I wanted to go to an island to enjoy the beach, but instead most of the time was spent being pitched on all the activities they wanted to sell to us. When we finally got to the island we only had a little over an hour there, only just enough time to get the thai lunch, that was big but wouldn't say great. Overall wouldn't recommend.

Do not pick if interested in snorkeling. Not recommended - PROS: the beach at the island is nice, food provided was more than enough for my family of 5 and people were quick to respond prior to the trip.
CONS: it was almost lunch time when we arrived at the actual island, a lot of time is taken picking people up (late) and taking them to a sea platform to be offered overpriced water actitivies. Even though we had received an email with snorkeling a listed option, we could never get accurate information from staff on the day about this. We asked multiple times how/when we could do the snorkeling, and were told repeatedly by several tour representatives that we could once in the island, this was not true. The main objective here is to get you to purchase more activities (short and overpriced) before you get to the island.
We were told in writing that snorkeling is only available sometimes depending on availability, but it is unclear what this means. I suspect this might not be as profitable or easy to organised as the other water sports they would prefer you to buy instead.
We have been to Thailand a couple of times before, and it is a lot cheaper to do your research and organise your own trip to any island using other means, this is very overpriced and offers terrible value in our opinion. We would never recommend it.
