- The Pinnacle Jomtien Resort is one of the well established hotels in Pattaya It is located near the Ambassador Hotel and just a 15 minutes drive from the city center. When you enter the hotel, first thing you notice is the quiet and serene atmosphere. The reception offers a good and fast service and just like the other 99% of the Thai, the staff is very friendly. Opposite the reception is a tailor located, this shop will provide us with quality tailored shirts and pants for an inexpensive price. Lots of material to choose from, be it silk or cashmere here is the chance to get properly dressed and it only cost a fraction of what we would have to pay at home. Bye bye mass production Armani - here I will have MY suit made - unique and exactly fitting .
- After we have checked in, one of the staff carries our bags to our room. The rooms are clean and all is well organized, nicely furnished and in fact a bargain, considering what we have paid at their reception desk. Rooms offer hot water, beds and bathrooms are of a good size. We have a mini bar with all kinds of drinks and a variety of snacks. Yes and here is the beer, nice and cool, comes just right on this hot day. This is a great place to start our holiday! How about some T.V.? English BBC - CNN - 6 movie channels and also Thai channels with bi-lingual sound. Also which I find amazing is that they show new films here on T.V. they don’t even broadcast yet at home.
- After a refreshing shower we go off to check out at the swimming pool. I am pleasantly surprised because there are 2 very nice big pools to choose from, this is a kind of luxury we like and we feel truly spoiled. After a couple of rounds of swimming we decide to explore the area. One of the pools is located next to a beautiful, lush and large tropical garden, all very well kept and looked after. Lots of flowers, trees in all kind of sizes and shapes it’s simply great if you love nature like I do. There are sun shades and comfortable chairs to relax and read a book or just look at the fantastic surroundings and have a chat with somebody. A man is practicing Tai-Chi on the green extensive lawn, another group plays cricket . Off we go towards the beach. Here we find a wide variety of water sports offered, like windsurfing, jet-ski and sailing is also available. We are delighted to have found this place.
- We like best to play beach volleyball so it’s understandable that we are thrilled when we see that there is big net stretched across the beach. A girl tells us that we can ask the pool boy for the ball and yes she gets her buddies for a match. The pool boy not only hands us the ball but also joins us for a match. Great game by the way, even if we have lost really bad and shameful - must be the Jet-lag!
- Best off all is: its free with no additional charges at all, starting from the events to the entertainment and making use of the sport facilities, like the gym. Also worth to mention is the food it’s just delicious! This is a great place and we will be back for sure.
