Pattaya's BEST Water Park? Sunny Rentals' Hidden Gem REVEALED!
Pattaya's BEST Water Park? Sunny Rentals' Hidden Gem REVEALED! (Or Did I Just Discover Paradise?)
Okay, people, buckle up. Because I'm about to spill the beans, and I'm not talking about those sad little breakfast sausages you get at some hotels. I'm talking about a real hidden gem, a place in Pattaya that might just make you question your life choices (in a good way). You know, the kind of place that makes you want to ditch your responsibilities, sell your soul to the sun, and just… be. This isn't your average water park review; it's a full-blown, honest-to-god experience report. And the place in question? Well, it's the magical (and potentially addictive) Sunny Rentals, complete with a killer water park. Are you ready? Let's dive in! (Pun absolutely intended).
First off, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way. Accessibility is important. Look, I don't have mobility issues, but I saw ample ramps and elevators. Wheelchair accessible areas were definitely present, and I've been through the "check-in" process. They made sure the process was so much easier than it should've been. They had plenty of staff on hand to assist, which is a huge plus. And the fact that they consider accessibility is already a massive win.
And the internet? Oh, the internet! I'm a digital nomad, a freelancer, a… screen addict. So, having Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and strong Wi-Fi in public areas is a must. I can confirm: the signal was strong enough to upload embarrassing videos of myself attempting the lazy river (more on that later). They have Internet [LAN] available, which is a nice touch for those of you who still rock Ethernet cables. The Internet services themselves were solid. I mean, I managed to work AND binge-watch a terrible reality show. Mission accomplished!
Now, let's talk about the reason you're really here: Things to do, and let's be honest, Ways to relax. Forget "relaxation," this place is full-on chillaxation station! The Swimming pool [outdoor] is gorgeous, and of course, there is a Pool with a view - let's skip to the details. My favourite spots in the outdoor pool was the slide, and the wave pool. The Spa/sauna facilities are what dreams are made of. I spent an embarrassingly long time in the Sauna, just letting my cares melt away. Seriously, getting the sweat out of your system is a must. I saw they had a Steamroom too, but I chickened out. Maybe next time. The Massage options were plentiful, and I hear the Body scrub and Body wrap treatments are divine. (I stuck with the basic massage, because, you know, budget). Sigh I miss it already. They have a Fitness center, but, full admission, I didn't go. Priorities, people. Priorities. This is a vacation, not boot camp!
Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, this is where Sunny Rentals really shines. I'm a bit of a germophobe, I'll admit it. The Anti-viral cleaning products, the Daily disinfection in common areas, and the fact that the Staff trained in safety protocol were a major relief. I observed meticulous Room sanitization between stays, which gave me serious peace of mind. They had Hand sanitizer dispensers everywhere. The Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items were also reassuring. They even had Individually-wrapped food options, which is a small detail, but a thoughtful one. And, get this, the Staff trained in safety protocol – they weren’t just going through the motions; they genuinely seemed to care. And the fact they had a Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit, just in case. They take that seriously. I believe they have a great Hygiene certification.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Okay, lets talk calories…or not. The Restaurants were awesome! The A la carte in restaurant had a great selection. I inhaled about three bowls of soup, because I wasn't feeling the best (probably from the sun or something). They had a Poolside bar that served cocktails, which definitely helped with the "relaxation" process. I'm also a fan of the Happy hour. Asian cuisine was what I ate. You could get an Asian breakfast, and a bunch of dishes prepared from Asian cuisine in restaurant. They have Coffee/tea in restaurant, and a Coffee shop. I'll be real, I love a good Salad in restaurant. They had plenty of Desserts in restaurant. A Snack bar was a must, and they gave you water, in a Bottle of water. They had Vegetarian restaurant, and Western cuisine in restaurant. They also do Breakfast service and a Buffet in restaurant. I had a great Breakfast [buffet].
Services and Conveniences: This place is designed for convenience. Seriously, they thought of everything. Air conditioning in public area is a necessity in Pattaya. Their Daily housekeeping was impeccable. The Luggage storage came in handy. I used the Concierge, and they were super helpful. They had Currency exchange, which saved me a trek in the heat. I noticed they had a Convenience store. They even provide Food delivery. They have a Laundry service and an Ironing service. They also have Facilities for disabled guests.
For the Kids: While I was there solo, I definitely noticed how family-friendly it is. There's a Babysitting service, Kids facilities, and Kids meal. It seemed like a perfect place for families.
Now, for the Room. I'm a sucker for a good room. And this one? It ticked all the boxes. The Air conditioning worked like a charm. The Alarm clock actually made me wake up on time (miraculous, I tell you!). The Bathrobes and Slippers were a luxurious touch. The Blackout curtains were a lifesaver when the sun started blasting. The Coffee/tea maker was essential for my caffeine fix. The Free bottled water was a welcome amenity. The Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Shower, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, and the Wi-Fi [free] – all present and accounted for. Basically, it was a little slice of heaven.
Getting Around: Easy peasy. Airport transfer (yes, please!), Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service – they've got you covered.
My Accidental Obsession: The Lazy River
Okay, this is where I get a little… personal. You see, I’m not a huge water park person. I'm more of a "lounge by the pool with a book" kind of gal. But the lazy river at Sunny Rentals? Game changer.
I’m not going to lie, I looked ridiculous. I’m pretty sure I spent about an hour and a half just floating around the little river. Maybe two. The current was perfect, the scenery was lush – it's where I lost myself. I got to thinking that if I could be a professional lazy river floater, my problems would be solved. And, here’s the kicker: halfway through, I bumped into another guest, we started talking, and ended up sharing some laughs. That might seem like no big deal, but for a solo traveler like me, it was a sweet moment. It felt like I found a little community in this place.
The Imperfection: (A Tiny Hiccup)
Okay, I have to be honest. One small, tiny imperfection. During my stay, there seemed to be some minor construction going on in one corner of the property. The noise was barely noticeable, but it was there. However, considering the immense value of what they have to offer, this tiny problem is meaningless.
The Verdict: Book It. Now.
Look, I could go on and on. There's so much more to say about Sunny Rentals and their amazing water park, like the Family/child friendly. The security was good - they had CCTV in common areas, and CCTV outside property. I saw a Fire extinguisher. They do offer Check-in/out [express]. They got a Front desk [24-hour]. The fact that they were a hotel chain, meant they were well experienced in what they do. There are Non-smoking rooms and even Soundproof rooms. The Smoke alarms made me feel safe. The Security [24-hour] was reassuring. The Rooms sanitized between stays was great. And honestly, their water park is epic, but the real magic is in the details, the atmosphere, and the feeling that you’re really experiencing something special.
Basically, Sunny Rentals hit it out of the park.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your grandma's perfectly-formatted travel itinerary. This is a chaotic, sun-drenched, chlorine-tinged chronicle of my Pattaya water park adventure, courtesy of Sunny Rentals (fingers crossed they're actually sunny!).
Subject: Pattaya Water Park: Expected Mayhem & Actual Mayhem (Mostly Good, Hopefully)
Day 1: Arrival & Pre-Park Panic
8:00 AM (ish): Wake up. Or rather, peel myself off the concrete where I seem to have migrated during the night. Jet lag is a beast, folks. My brain feels like scrambled eggs, but hey, Pattaya! Water park! Sunshine! (I’d been dreaming about this trip for months.)
9:00 AM: Scramble to get dressed, which, let's be honest, is just finding the least crumpled clothes in my suitcase. Pack sunscreen (essential!), mosquito repellent (Pattaya's got 'em!), and a healthy dose of optimism.
10:00 AM: Uber/Taxi to Sunny Rentals. Deep breath. They better be as "sunny" as they claim. I've dealt with nightmare rentals before. Like the one in Tuscany where the shower was also a tiny, aggressive sprinkler system. I swear, I spent more time trying to avoid getting drenched than actually enjoying the water.
11:00 AM (If we survive the rental process): FINALLY! Water park bound, baby! Which one? The one with the craziest, tallest slide, naturally. I'm slightly terrified of heights, but yolo (right?).
11:30 AM (ish): Arrive at the water park. Holy moly, people! It's a glorious, wet, chaotic sea of screaming kids, tanned bodies, and the smell of…chlorine and freedom! I love it already.
12:00 PM: First impressions: WHOA. The sheer scale of this place is intimidating. So many slides, so little time! The main pool looks beautiful, but right now I'm eyeing that behemoth of a slide that goes straight down. My stomach does a nervous little flip.
12:30 PM: Lunch. Need to get some fuel in me. Found a little food stall! I love the food here. I grabbed some local foods. It was pretty good but I think I could have gotten something better.
1:00 PM: This is where things get interesting, and by "interesting," I mean terrifying. I faced my fears and went down the big slide. Holy guacamole, that was intense! The speed! The air rushing past my face! I screamed like a little girl. But then, the exhilaration! The pure, giddy joy! I'm a convert!
2:00 PM: Floating in the lazy river. This is the perfect post-adrenaline comedown. Just drifting along, watching the sun glint off the water, letting the current carry me. Pure bliss. If I could stay here forever, I would.
3:00 PM: More slides. A slightly less terrifying waterslide. I try to get through the lines. The kids are relentless! It was almost good and now it's not!
4:00 PM: My friend tells me we need to leave. My face slowly droops. But okay. I will do it.
4:30 PM: Leave. A sad moment.
5:30 PM: Find a place to eat and sleep.
Day 2: Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Then maybe, just maybe, some culture?
9:00 AM: The usual. Wake up. Drink coffee. Contemplate the meaning of life while staring at the ceiling.
10:00 AM: Back to the water park! (Yes, I know. I'm obsessed.) This time, I'm determined to conquer ALL the slides! (Or at least, the ones I can manage).
11:00 AM: I'm starting to get a little competitive. Maybe I can beat my previous slide times? Or maybe just not embarrass myself too badly in front of the kids.
12:00 PM: Lunch, again, and I find myself wishing that I had learned some Thai before I came here. I would like to know if I am eating good food.
1:00 PM: Back to the slides!
2:00 PM: This is where it gets REAL. I attempt the "Double Black Diamond" slide. It looked fun, but it sent me spinning and splashing and then I was face down! I emerged, sputtering and slightly disoriented, but strangely elated. Another level of my "fear of heights" broken.
3:00 PM: I had a good time in the wave pool.
4:00 PM: I was almost sad to leave the park.
5:00 PM: I went to the beach and watched the sunset.
6:00 PM: A wonderful dinner!
7:00 PM: Back to the hotel. I had to spend some time on my computer.
8:00 PM: Sleep.
Day N (The Final Day): Goodbye, Water Park. Hello, Real Life (Maybe?).
9:00 AM: One last gloriously lazy breakfast.
10:00 AM: The final water park hurrah! One last slide, one last scream, one last embrace of chlorine-infused freedom.
11:00 AM: Regret!! The thought of leaving the water park. Should I try to stay?
12:00 PM: Pack up!
1:00 PM: The hardest part. Leaving.
2:00 PM: Goodbye, Pattaya!
Forever: Water park dreaming. Counting the days until I can return.
Important Notes & Ramblings (Because Let's Be Honest, I'm Not Very Organized):
- Sunscreen: Apply liberally. Reapply CONSTANTLY. I'm already sporting a questionable tan line.
- Hydration: Drink. A LOT. Water, juice, whatever keeps you going in the heat.
- Food Stalls: Embrace the street food! Try everything (maybe with a touch of caution, depending on your stomach's constitution.)
- My Feelings: Honestly, I feel like a kid again. The pure joy of splashing around, the exhilarating terror of the slides, the freedom from responsibility. I'm exhausted, sunburnt, and utterly deliriously happy.
- I am going back.
So there you have it: my Pattaya water park adventure, in all its messy, illogical, utterly enjoyable glory. Wish me luck, and maybe bring me a towel. And sunscreen. And maybe a psychologist, because I suspect I might be a bit obsessed.

Pattaya's Water Park Paradise: Is Sunny Rentals' Hidden Gem REALLY That Good? Let's Spill the Water! (Brace yourselves...)
Okay, spill it! Where *exactly* is this "Sunny Rentals" water park? I'm already sunburned just THINKING about Pattaya!
Alright, alright, settle down, sun-seeker! So, "Sunny Rentals," well, that's *their* name for it. It's not like, a *secret* society location, but it's definitely not plastered all over billboards like some of the mega-giants. Finding it...depends on your adventure level. If you like a proper, "I'm-exploring-the-jungle" kind of vibe, then you might enjoy the slight challenge of figuring it out. I'm talking: a few left turns, a right where the mango vendor used to be (he’s moved, *sigh*), and maybe a quick chat with a helpful tuk-tuk driver who *might* understand your confused English. It *is* in Pattaya though. Start near the Jomtien area and ask around! You'll find it. Possibly. With a bit of sweat. And maybe a celebratory Singha once you arrive.
What's the vibe like? Is it family-friendly or more a "party-til-you-pass-out" kind of place? Because let's be honest, Pattaya can be...a *lot*.
This is a CRUCIAL question! Look, I’ve been to BOTH sides of Pattaya's coin. And I'm here to tell you, Sunny Rentals leans towards the family-friendly. It's not a silent library, mind you. There's music (thank goodness, I need a beachy beat!), and kids running around screaming with joy (a *bless*ing, in my opinion! It means fun!). And it *does* have a bar. A little bar, but with all the essentials (Singha, cocktails, and a decent ice situation). It’s not a full-blown, neon-lit, body-paint-and-fire-dancers kinda situation. Think more… relaxed, happy, a place to let down your hair (figuratively…or literally, if you've been on the beach all day!). It’s the good kind of messy.
So, the water park itself, what can I expect? Are we talking epic slides or, you know, a kiddie pool with a leaky tap?
Alright, here's the truth bomb: the slides AREN'T the death-defying, Olympic-sized, loop-de-loops of some of the bigger parks. But, honestly? That's part of its charm! They've got a good variety of slides to keep everyone entertained. Some are fast, some are twisty, some are, well, for the slightly more timid (that's me, by the way). There’s a decent wave pool and a lazy river (which, let's be real, is the *best* thing on a scorching day!). And important fact! They have actual lifeguards! Phew! You know, just… safety first, people. I remember one time I almost face-planted on a waterslide because I went down too fast, and one of the lifeguards saved me. He's my hero now. He gave me a "thumbs up!" I might've gotten a little emotional. Okay, I teared up.
Food! Do they have decent food, or should I pack a sandwich and sneak it in? (Asking for a friend...)
Okay, food. Crucial. Packing a sandwich is *always* a good idea, just in case. But thankfully, they *do* have food! It's not Michelin-star stuff, but it's perfectly adequate for a day in the sun. Think burgers, fries (ALWAYS get the fries!), maybe some Thai options, and, most importantly, snacks. Because let's be real, you're gonna get hungry after all that sliding! I'd recommend grabbing a chicken satay, it's delicious! Or, you can always just eat the chips and feel very content.
What about the crowds? Is it a total zoo, or can I find a sun lounger without having to fight someone for it?
This is where Sunny Rentals *really* shines, in my humble, sun-kissed opinion. It's not as packed as some of the mega-parks. You *can* actually find a sun lounger! Yes! I know! It's a miracle! Go mid-week, or get there early on the weekends. But even on busy days, it's manageable. It’s not elbow-to-elbow, which is a HUGE win in my book. The space feels… relaxing. You can actually swim and enjoy the water without bumping into a million screaming kids. (Love the kids. Love the space more sometimes, okay?)
Tell me about the PERFECT day at Sunny Rentals. Paint me a picture!
Okay, picture this: You wake up (after a *reasonable* amount of sleep – hello, vacation!), and head there early, around 10 am, grabbing yourself a morning coffee. Sunscreen is your best friend, slather that on! The air is warm, but not oppressive yet. You snag a sun lounger near the wave pool. You spend the morning swimming, sliding, and generally being a big kid. You build up a respectable appetite and dive into those fries. In the afternoon, you float down the lazy river, sipping a cold drink. You even find a moment of blissful peace on that lounger, watching the world go by, maybe even doze off! Then, as the sun starts to dip, you grab a final swim. You head home, tired, sun-kissed, and happy. That’s it. That's the perfect day. Except, of course, the time I forgot my towel and had to use a sarong, which, let's be honest, was a small price to pay for an amazing time. And maybe a small argument with a vendor. (Who doesn't love a little spice with their fries?)
What are the downsides? (Don't sugarcoat it!)
Alright, downsides. Here’s the brutal truth. Like, I’m trying to be honest, right? The water *isn't* always crystal clear. Let's just say, you might *occasionally* encounter a rogue leaf or two. Or something… less desirable. (I’ll leave it at that!). Getting to and from the park can be a little tricky. Their website might not be super polished (shoutout to the engineers though!). The variety of slides *isn't* huge, so if you're a die-hard thrill-seeker, you might get bored. (But REALLY, the lazy river makes it all worthwhile). Oh, and parking! Can be a bit of a squeeze. Patience is certainly a virtue. And maybe practice your Thai. You know… just in case.
