Pattaya Paradise: Rooftop Pool, Sauna, Steam Room & Cafe at Econdo-New!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the glittering, steamy, and possibly slightly sweaty paradise of Pattaya Paradise: Rooftop Pool, Sauna, Steam Room & Cafe at Econdo-New! And let me tell you, after a solid week soaking up the rays and…well, trying not to completely melt, I’ve got some thoughts. Prepare for a rollercoaster of opinions – unfiltered and, let's be honest, a little manic.
First Impressions & The "Oh My God, This is Actually Pretty Nice" Factor:
Let's be real, Pattaya has…a reputation. But Econdo-New, where Pattaya Paradise resides, feels a bit…different. Cleaner, a little less chaotic. The "Paradise" bit? They're not entirely lying.
Accessibility? Okay…ish. This is where things get a little…complicated. They claim facilities for disabled guests. The elevator is a HUGE plus, of course, but I didn't get a detailed rundown on accessible room features. So, call ahead if you need specific details. But major points for the elevator! (I hate stairs with a fiery passion.)
The Rooftop Pool - Pure, Unadulterated Bliss (Mostly):
Okay, let's get to the good stuff. The rooftop pool. The view. Picture this: You, a perfectly-formed frozen cocktail (more on that later), and the sprawling cityscape of Pattaya laid out before you. Divine. The water was… maybe a touch on the chilly side during my visit, but honestly, after the sauna and steam room, it was a welcome shock. Pure Instagram fodder, people. You'll be battling for the perfect angle, trust me.
The Sauna, Steam Room & That Feeling of Melting Away (in a Good Way):
Oh. My. God. The sauna and steam room are legit. I'm talking proper, sweat-dripping relaxation. I spent a good hour just…existing in a cloud of eucalyptus-scented goodness. I even managed to almost meditate. (My brain, however, insisted on randomly thinking about what I should eat for dinner.) The juxtaposition of the pool and these heat rooms is a killer. Do it. You won't regret it.
The Cafe - Fueling the Fun (and the Occasional Hangover):
The on-site cafe? It’s a lifesaver. Coffee in the morning? Check. Quick snacks throughout the day? Check. The food situation is generally good, but don’t expect Michelin-star dining. It's convenient and gets the job done. They had a nice selection of Thai dishes alongside some Western options, which is always a plus. I think I ate mango sticky rice every single day. Don't judge.
Food & Drink – A Culinary Adventure (Sometimes):
- Breakfast: The breakfast buffet offered the standard fare - eggs, bacon, toast, cereal. Fine, but nothing to write home about. I opted for the Asian breakfast one day. It was a nice change from the usual.
- Lunch/Dinner: A la carte restaurant with a decent range of options. International and Asian cuisine available. I particularly enjoyed the… ahhh, I can't remember what it was called, but it was a delicious Thai noodle thing.
- Poolside Bar: Essential. Happy hour is a must. Get yourself a cocktail. Or five. You're on vacation.
- Room Service (24-hour): Thank goodness for this. Especially when the midnight cravings hit. They have way more options, and the quality is excellent.
- Snack Bar: Perfect for when you're lounging by the pool and suddenly NEED french fries, which, let's face it, is pretty much all the time.
Cleanliness and Safety: They Really Mean Business!
I was pleasantly surprised by how seriously they take hygiene. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Daily disinfection. Staff wearing masks. Seriously, they're on it. I saw them cleaning and sanitizing constantly.
Rooms - Comfy Enough
My room was well-appointed, with a big comfy bed. Air conditioning was blasting (blessedly so!). The blackout curtains were a lifesaver, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable (crucial for sharing all those pool pics, obviously). They do, however, charge for the Premium internet access.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my chaotic Pattaya adventure at Econdo-New. This ain't your perfectly curated travel brochure, honey. This is real travel, with all the sweat, sunburn, and questionable decisions that come with it.
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread at the Rooftop Pool (or, Why I Still Can't Pack Light)
- Morning (Bangkok Airport - Ugh): Landed in Bangkok, feeling like a crumpled napkin after a ten-hour flight. Humidity hit me like a brick wall. Why did I think three pairs of platform sandals were a good idea? Still not sure. Navigating that airport was a cardio workout. I swear, I walked ten miles just to find the freaking taxi queue.
- Rant Alert: Seriously, why are airports always so massive and confusing? And the sheer amount of people jostling for space! The existential dread already started to creep in during the taxi ride to Pattaya. I was questioning my sanity.
- Afternoon (Econdo-New Check-In - Sweet Relief): FINALLY, Econdo-New! The taxi driver seemed to be having a grand ol' time to tell me I was a bit late for the check-in. I'm not late, maybe he was just early. I was expecting a sleek, minimalist paradise, and it mostly delivered. The lobby was shiny and air-conditioned – a win. Checking in was easy.
- Observation: The staff were super friendly, though their English was… well, let's just say we communicated mostly through a combination of gestures and raised eyebrows. My room? Tiny but functional. And the AC? Glorious, life-saving AC.
- Late Afternoon (Rooftop Pool Revelation): The rooftop pool. This was the selling point. The pictures promised aquamarine perfection. The reality? Still pretty amazing! The view was stunning, but the water was a tad colder than expected.
- Anecdote: I swear, I spent a good twenty minutes just floating, trying to figure out how to sunbathe while simultaneously not wanting to actually become a lobster. I think I overdid it with sunscreen the first day, anyway.
- Evening (Poolside Cafe Panic): Ate at the poolside cafe, it was pretty good for a hotel cafe. I ordered a chicken and rice, and it was good. I was starting to feel a bit homesick for no reason, so I decided to take a walk around. I was kinda scared, the place felt empty.
Day 2: Sauna, Steam Room, and the Glorious Meltdown (or, My Body vs. the Heat)
- Morning (Procrastination Breakfast): Slept! Then I almost missed breakfast. Again. The buffet was a chaotic dance of scrambled eggs, questionable sausages, and fruit that looked far too perfect to be real.
- Quirky Observation: I swear, the fruit flies in Thailand are next-level. They’re like tiny, relentless ninjas.
- Late Morning (Sauna and Steam Room – The Good, the Bad, and the Sweat): Okay, this was the main reason why I wanted to go to the place. They had a sauna AND a steam room?! Winner. I hit up the sauna first, feeling smug and superior.
- Emotional Reaction: At first, pure bliss. That dry heat, the silence… glorious. Then, about five minutes in, it hit me. Like a ton of bricks. My skin started to burn and I was starting to feel a bit lightheaded.
- Afternoon (The Cafe – My Happy Place): After the sauna and steam room, I went back to the cafe. I just wanted to eat something and order another coffee.
- Opinionated Rant: Let's be honest, I'm not a fan of Thai Coffee. It was too much sugar and milk.
- Afternoon (Beach Exploration): I decided to take a walk. It was hot, but it was beautiful. It was very hot, and very beautiful
- Evening (Dinner at the Cafe): Dinner was good. I ordered pad thai. I fell asleep in my bed, after I finished eating.
Day 3: The Pattaya Hustle and a Surprising Moment of Zen
- Late Morning (More Beach Time): Went back to the beach. I spent a whole morning just there. It was great.
- Afternoon (The Cafe): I went back to the cafe, again. I drank another Thai coffee.
- Evening (Last Dinner): I had my last dinner. I fell asleep, and that was the end of my trip.
The Imperfections and the Takeaways:
This trip wasn't perfect. I overpacked, I got lost, and I probably spent too much time by that damn pool. But… I had fun. I sweat, I laughed, and I (eventually) learned to embrace the chaos. Econdo-New? Not perfect, but a solid base camp for a Pattaya adventure. And that rooftop pool? Definitely worth braving the heat for. Maybe next time I'll pack less platform sandals. Maybe. Probably not.

So, what *is* this whole... thing? Like, what's the deal, man?
Okay, okay, you've sold me-ish. How do I actually *get* started? And... is it going to hurt? Because I hate pain.
What are the 'technical' bits I need to know? Like, are there any common pitfalls to avoid? And are there spiders? Because I *hate* spiders.
What about the people? What's the community like? Are they friendly? Or are they all trolls living in their parents' basements? Asking for a friend... (It's me. I'm the friend.)
So, what's the catch? What are the downsides? Because nothing is perfect. And if you tell me it is, I'm calling BS.
Okay, so, all things considered, is it *worth* it? Should I even bother? Tell me the truth! (Even if it hurts.)
