Sunshine Vista Hotel  

In the heart of Pattaya on Soi 3, Beach Road — just about 200–250 meters from Pattaya Beach. Steps from Central Festival/CentralMarina and Big C, and close to Art in Paradise, the Teddy Bear Museum, Alcazar Cabaret and Tiffany’s Show.

A modern hotel and executive aparthotel mix with a lobby and rooms renovated in 2012.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi, 24-hour reception, concierge, tour desk, elevator and on-site laundry/dry cleaning.
