Review: Andaz Pattaya
Jomtien Beach – Heaven Really is a Place On Earth!

Searching for a superlative to describe Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach is difficult, but let’s settle on “Paradise” for now. While for many, a hotel is simply a home base when on holiday, in this case, the hotel itself is worthy of claiming the title of the main destination. Superbly appointed to exceed guests’ expectations, the hotel is adorned with luxurious touches and world-class amenities, all delivered to the individual with the charm and warmth akin to Thailand’s culture and people.

You will feel any physical or mental tension melt away from the moment you arrive. The hotel is an oasis of serenity which is in contrast to the notorious reputation that Pattaya has earned over the years. Nestled in beautifully landscaped gardens, visitors have remarked upon the meticulous attention to detail observed in the plush interiors and breathtaking facades of the hotel.

Fusing both modern and traditional design elements, the accommodation on offer is spacious and comfortable giving guests the choice of villas, suites or rooms with ocean, pool, garden or lagoon views. In any case, there is no escaping the sheer beauty of nature that surrounds you when staying at the Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach.

The colour palette of the interior décor of the rooms ranges from earthy, warm, woody hues to resplendent natural, fresh tones embellished with splashes of colour that accentuate fresh and invigorating colours found in the surrounding, natural world. Bedecked in luxurious and sumptuous fabrics, your senses are sure to tingle with delight no matter which of the fabulous accommodations you choose to stay in.

While many hotels have a reputation for being stuffy, stuck-up and snobbish, guests are welcome to feel at home at Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach. This is evident when you cast an eye over the dining options available. From classic, global dishes to locally sourced, fresh produce, there is a choice for all diets including delicious vegetarian fare.

Village Square is a communal hub that serves patrons of all the restaurants that surround it. For those who desire some chic privacy, the Teak Lounge offers a place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or after-dinner drinks. Ruen Thai is a beautifully designed traditional Tea House or sanctuary if you feel the need to unwind from all that “strenuous” relaxation!

Thailand is world-renowned for its beauty

Guests can indulge their passion for the outdoors by visiting an array of attractions within reasonable proximity to the hotel. From water parks and golf resorts to tropical gardens and secluded beaches. Each makes the most of what this heavenly part of the world has to offer.

Despite the sophistication that the hotel exudes, don’t be fooled into thinking its appeal is limited to grown-ups alone. Families with young children are warmly welcomed at Sanuk Sanuk Kids’ Club that will keep the little ones entertained with a variety of activities that will keep them busy for the duration of your stay.

With all of the indulgent culinary options on offer, some visitors may wish to make use of the 24-hour Fitness Center (although I for one, can’t imagine why!) For the image and health-conscious, it is kitted out with up-to-date cardio and strength training equipment. The cross-trainers are all conveniently outward-facing so you can admire the tranquil views while burning those extra calories.

Speaking of tranquility, guests wanting a more zen-like experience can indulge in a few sessions at the Spa. The spa is a haven of peacefulness offering a wide choice of luxurious treatment options that are sure to alleviate any sense of tension and leave you feeling radiant, renewed and ready for the next day.

You’ll be back!

For almost every guest, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach represents the ideal hotel destination when visiting this part of the world. While the hotel itself is architecturally, a beautiful work of art surrounded by the magnificent beauty of mother nature, a hotel is essentially a building made predominantly of bricks and mortar, steel and glass. However, the magic is created when you introduce the human element. The team working tirelessly behind the scenes around the clock to make sure that guests have the most amazing experience, is what imbues the spirit of the hotel. The standout compliment that visitors comment upon is the diligent and professional nature of the staff. Thailand is a very welcoming nation and hospitality seems to be an ingrained quality of most people that you encounter there. Lauded by individuals, couples, groups and families, the hotel is sure to leave an indelible mark on every visitor – creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime… or until your next visit.
