“Great place to stay near the beach”

While there are plenty of more modern high-rise hotels in this area, it's refreshing to find a more traditional Thai style resort in this area which hasn't sold out to the big developers.

While there are plenty of more modern high-rise hotels in this area, it's refreshing to find a more traditional Thai style resort in this area which hasn't sold out to the big developers. The resort stretches back from the beach road and has lovely large rooms or suites set on either side of a green area which includes a number of gazebos where you can relax, have a drink or snack, and even a slide for the kids about half-way up the garden area. The rooms themselves are not new and in some places you'll find a bit of wear and tear, but overall the size is great. We had a Junior suite which has a separate living room area, dressing area, and we opted for 2 pretty good sized beds for the 4 of us (2 kids). The bathrooms probably need a spruce up but for what you pay, it's pretty good value. The swimming pool near the road is clean and popular - if you don't like crowds, best avoid the time between 16:00 and 18:00. The pool stays open late, too, so don't be surprised to see people splashing about after 21:00. But as it's away from the rooms, no one is disturbed. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect is the breakfast. Don't expect a wide choice of food. Only watered-down orange juice, cornflakes, and two rice dishes, one or two noodle dishes, and a stir-fry is about all you'll get. There's an egg station but they only provide fried eggs, nothing else. There's some sushi, which is a slight redemption, but coffee is instant and in a massive keg, so no points for that. If you're fussy about having a decent breakfast, there are a couple of cafes not too far away. If you don't mind what you get, and are happy with just a few Thai dishes, then you'll be fine. The service overall is good. We needed extra towels for the kids and a couple of other things and they brought them straight away. The restaurant and bar area is also pretty good and so is the food. One point dropped for the breakfast but if you fancy a more traditional Thai type experience, this is a really good place to stay.

“Great for family with dog”

This is not a 5star chain hotel. But everything you would expect from a hotel of this style is very good. Check in was quick and efficient, even made a fuss of our small dog.

This is not a 5star chain hotel. But everything you would expect from a hotel of this style is very good. Check in was quick and efficient, even made a fuss of our small dog. There is a golf cart type buggy to get to the rooms if u don’t have a car. The car parks are quite small so do fill up quickly WiFi in the room was OK, TV channels not so good but don’t want to spend time in the room anyway. Opposite the hotel is a beach where u can hire chairs and umbrellas for the day at a reasonable price. The hotel is at the far end of Jomtien so quite, but that means not too many taxis or baht buses passing. Will stay here again if we have the dog with us
