When people think of Pattaya, they often imagine the vibrant nightlife.

However, a stay at 'Cape Dara Resort' reveals a different side of Pattaya.

This resort is situated on a private headland in Na Kluea, offering one of the few spots in Pattaya where you can see stars at night.

With 11 room types, all boasting sea views, this review will showcase three of the most impressive: Dara Deluxe, Dara Private Pool Suite, and Top Star Private Pool Residence.

At the end, we'll recommend five cafes and restaurants worth checking out.

So, let's dive in!

Cape Dara is a 5-star resort in Pattaya that has recently opened and has already won numerous awards. The resort's signature Dara Deluxe room, featured in the cover photo, offers stunning views of Pattaya. Other room types also boast unique designs, emphasizing stars, curves, and a color palette of white, gray, blue, and gold.

-------- CAPE DARA RESORT --------

Upon arrival, the lobby makes a stunning first impression. Its spacious design with high ceilings seamlessly connects to the swimming pool, creating a constant breeze that instantly refreshes weary travelers. <3

The resort boasts two communal swimming pools.

The first, a large pool, is conveniently located near the lobby and restaurant. This pool remains open until midnight.

The second pool, offering more privacy, is situated by the beachfront and the Beachfront building. It closes at 7 pm.

Both pools offer poolside bars for your refreshment.

Don't miss this angle, it will make your life look good in photos.

From the swimming pool, we walked to another building, Beachfront,

to enter the room 'Dara Private Pool Suite'.

This room is approximately 40 square meters and has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a private pool overlooking the communal pool (small) and the beach. The unique feature of this room is the sandy bottom of the private pool, which gives the feeling of swimming in the sea.

Guests staying in this room type enjoy exclusive access to the Dara Club Lounge.

This includes a private breakfast, priority check-in and check-out, afternoon tea, sunset cocktails, and daily laundry service for two items.

This is a blank paragraph.

The resort has partnered with the fragrance brand BVLGARI to create a line of bath products, including shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, which guests can take home as souvenirs.

Almost forgot to mention, upon entering the room,

you will find a small magazine called Happening on the bed.

This magazine is produced by the resort itself and provides information on

events happening in Pattaya that month, as well as new attractions and restaurants.

If you don't have any plans, you can follow the suggestions in this magazine.

And here is what afternoon tea looks like *O*

After relaxing in our room for a while, we decided to explore the surroundings.

We started with the small swimming pool in front of our room.

In the late afternoon, the pool was crowded with people enjoying the cool water.

One more picture please!

Anyone who wants to eat snacks can come :D

Translated.

We finally arrived at the 'Dara Deluxe' room.

Luckily, our friend is staying in this room, so we were able to take some pictures.

Personally, I like this room more than our own room.

Even though it's smaller, the view is amazing! It overlooks the sea from a high angle.

And because one of the walls is made of glass, the room is constantly filled with light. It's very airy, to put it simply.

And this is the dream bathroom <3

You must get a picture from this angle.

As usual, the room rate varies depending on the time of stay. It is recommended to check with the accommodation website directly. http://www.capedarapattaya.com/

This is the view from the balcony of the Dara Deluxe room.

Let's explore the common areas. The spa here is called Luminous Spa and has both indoor and outdoor areas, both with ocean views. Services include Luminous Signature Massage, Thai massage, oil massage, hairdressing, etc. Open from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Call 03893388 for inquiries. The fitness center is also on the same floor and has staff on duty at all times. It's not very big, but it has all the basic equipment!

As you know, breakfast is included in the room rate. For lunch and dinner, you can either eat at the resort, which has a variety of restaurants, or use the complimentary shuttle service to go into town to find something to eat. The shuttle can drop you off at the Dolphin Roundabout or Mike Shopping Mall, both of which are located near Walking Street. There is no additional charge for this service.

I will review the restaurants and cafes we visited at the end.

For now, let me review the accommodations first.

And here is the atmosphere around the accommodation at night.

Breakfast at Dara Private Pool Suite

As guests of the Dara Private Pool Suite, we had the option of enjoying breakfast at either the main restaurant or the Dara Club Lounge. Since we were staying for two nights, we decided to try both!

The main restaurant was incredibly spacious, almost resembling a large cafeteria. It could accommodate a significant number of guests and offered both air-conditioned and open-air seating areas.

This is a paragraph with no text.

Note: The original text provided is empty. Therefore, the translated text is also empty.

To be honest, the breakfast at this hotel was not impressive.

There were many options to choose from, but the taste was not memorable.

Compared to other 5-star hotels we have stayed at, the breakfast here was not as good.

However, the staff was friendly and the view was beautiful. : )

On our last morning, we took our friends to the Dara Club Lounge for a very private breakfast with stunning views. However, the selection of food was more limited compared to the main dining room downstairs.

Click, click, click...

The "Top Star Private Pool Residence" at Cape Dara is a luxurious accommodation option that offers stunning views and a private pool. The room features five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and bathtub. The residence also includes a kitchen, living room, and access to a shared swimming pool. The room can accommodate up to 15 guests, making it ideal for large groups or families. For more information, please visit the Cape Dara website at http://www.capedarapattaya.com/.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are decorated in a similar style.

One notable feature is a bedroom with an open ceiling, allowing for stargazing.

Amazing!

All bathrooms have both showers and bathtubs. Toilets have adjustable water levels and temperatures.

Second floor walkway.

Here, take a look.

Let's continue to the lower floor.

Please provide the sentence or phrase you would like me to translate from Thai to English.

Maintaining a sophisticated and elegant appearance.

According to the staff, this room is regularly occupied by guests, with bookings every month. The majority of guests are Thai businesspeople who bring their families.

Interestingly, world-renowned DJ Zedd has also stayed in this room. It was an honor to see him.

Review of Cape Dara Resort, a 5-star hotel in Pattaya.

I hope you like it, because I tried my best to capture every corner of the hotel.

I can confirm that the hotel is really beautiful.

The staff is really friendly, but I would like to suggest some improvements for the food

and the speed of the wifi. Anyway, come and try it out! <3

—— 5 CAFES & RESTAURANTS in PATTAYA ——

The first shop is called 'BABA Eating House'.

This shop is a small cafe decorated in Australian style.

The shop offers breakfast, brunch, sandwiches, and drinks.

We ordered iced chocolate, which was very good.

They use fresh milk and liquid chocolate, then add

chocolate ice cream without mixing it.

Because in the end, the ice cream will melt and mix with the milk itself.

The next stop is 'Skoop Beach Cafe'.

Many people may have seen this shop on the internet.

But have never been there because the shop is quite far away.

This time our friend drove a car, so we finally got there!

The shop is very cute, it's a 2-story box right on the beach.

The Next Stop: Yellow Submarine

The next stop on our journey is a charming little ice cream shop called "Yellow Submarine," located conveniently near our accommodation. This delightful haven of homemade ice cream boasts a vibrant and playful atmosphere, with its yellow and pink decor and adorable flamingo accents.

While the shop itself is small, its concept is clear and captivating. With only 3-4 seats available, Yellow Submarine primarily caters to takeaway orders, offering a wide variety of flavors to satisfy any craving. Among the many options, the Yakult and Butterfly Pea Coconut flavors stand out as particularly refreshing and delightful.

The last cafe, 'Blue Tang Cafe & Bar', is just a short walk from the Yellow Submarine.

This eye-catching white cafe features a predominantly white, black, gray, and blue interior with a Korean vibe.

The open-air seating is comfortable, but the lychee soda I ordered was not good. It was extremely sweet with almost no soda flavor.

If you've tried other menu items, please share your experience.
