Lonely Planet "The Sugar Hut's Thai-style villas and bungalows are gathered around shaded fish ponds and winding paths... There are three swimming pools, a spa and sauna, and an atmospheric restaurant."
DK Eyewitness "This gem of a hotel scores high for ambience and privacy... Traditional Thai villas with curving roofs are set in a huge, rambling garden. Rooms are tastefully furnished."
Rough Guide "The most characterful accommodation in Pattaya comprises a charming collection of Ayutthaya-style traditional wooden bungalows... It’s nowhere near the restaurants, shops or sea."
