The Pacific Club Resort is located a short walk up the hill away from the noisy strip our room had a good view across lower buildings to the beach and ocean from our balcony including, to the side, Big Buddha, illuminated at night high on the distant hills.
Large and beautifully finished room with one of the most comfortable beds in our years of travel, limestone bathroom so clean it could be new. AC ventilation is responsive and effective at humidity control in this very hot and humid town.
The real stand-out of this hotel is the staff. From Grace at the main desk who was instantly available to assist us with any concern; to Su in the dining area who was constantly and invariably attentive to our needs, including a severe allergy, and always looking ahead to our needs on arrival, throughout our meal, and when we were rushed; to the delightful Kwan Sun, manager and ambassador.
There is a smell from what appears to be a relatively well-kept nearby community garbage storage that comes and goes in open areas but was not a significant problem to us overall.
