Jomtien Hisotel: Pattaya's BEST Kept Secret? (Luxury You WON'T Believe!)
Jomtien Hisotel: Pattaya's BEST Kept Secret? (Luxury You WON'T Believe!) - My Take (Brace Yourself!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Jomtien Hisotel. Forget the polished brochures; I’m giving you the REAL deal. And let me tell ya, after a week there, I feel like I've wrestled a tiger (and maybe lost a bit of my sanity in the process). So, is it really Pattaya’s best-kept secret? Let’s dive in… and try not to drown in the sheer volume of amenities.
First Impression: The Grand Entrance… and a Little Mishap
Accessibility is mostly fine – good for Pattaya generally, because it can be a right pain. The elevator is there, which is a HUGE win. But let's be real, navigating the maze is a bit like finding your way out of a Tolkien novel. (Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but you get the idea!) The entrance? Grand, sweeping, kinda intimidating if you're used to budget hostels. I nearly tripped over a strategically placed plant pot during check-in. Embarrassing, but hey, at least I wasn't the only one. There's a doorman though, really helpful.
Rooms: Plush, but Don't Expect Perfection
My room? Oh, the room. It's got everything: air conditioning (essential), super comfy bed (extra long!), blackout curtains (thank the heavens!), and a view… well, it depended on where you were staying. Mine wasn't the best, but the rooms were soundproofed and non-smoking, which is a massive plus. They had like, ALL of those amenities, like even a darn bathrobe! The minibar… let's just say I might have indulged a bit too much in the complimentary bottled water and free tea and coffee, I was like a fish in water! The internet access… sigh… They say free Wi-Fi… in all rooms! Well, it intermittently worked. I mean it was there, but not always. The LAN internet and my old laptop? Let's just say we didn't become best friends.
Food, Glorious Food… and Questionable Decisions
Alright, the food situation is a rollercoaster. Let's start with breakfast: the buffet at the restaurant. Asian breakfast? Western breakfast? They had it all. Too much, probably. I, being incredibly indecisive at 7 AM, ended up piling my plate with bacon, waffles, and some… unidentified Asian noodles. It was a glorious disaster. Restaurants? Plural. The a la carte menu in the main restaurant was pretty decent. But it's the snacks that got me. They had a poolside bar that was dangerously close to my sun lounger. Happy hour? Don't even get me started. Suffice it to say, I may have sampled the cocktails a little too enthusiastically on a few occasions. Oh, and the coffee shop offered escape also, which was nice. Vegetarian options were available. I'd give the dining experience a solid… B+. It's not Michelin-star worthy, but it's certainly satisfying… if you can resist the temptation of the poolside bar.
Spa-tastic Bliss (Or At Least, Attempted Bliss)
The spa. Oh, the spa. This is where things got interesting. I hear the spa and sauna are great. I went full-on indulgent. They have a pool with a view and lots of options – body wraps, body scrubs, massages… I opted for the full package. Seriously, I got into a steamroom, got my feet massaged, and just let them take care of me. Now, I'm not sure if it was the sheer bliss or the cocktails from the afternoon before, but I nearly dozed off during my massage. It was a wonderfully awkward moment. The only downside? The steam room felt like a sauna, and maybe the air conditioning in the treatment room was a tad too effective. One minute I was blissfully relaxed, the next I was shivering! But you know what? Worth it.
Cleanliness & Safety: Sanitized… Mostly
Cleanliness is a major concern for any traveller. The rooms were sanitized between stays, and there was daily disinfection in common areas, and hand sanitizer everywhere. They seemed to take it seriously. Staff, as far as I could tell, were trained in safety protocol. They had everything: anti-viral cleaning products, professional-grade sanitizing services, and even physical distancing of at least 1 meter in place. There's a doctor/nurse on call, first aid kit, and the rooms and the hotel were very safe. The hotel’s hygiene certification was clear. They even offered individually-wrapped food options. Not much to complain about here. Huge thumbs up.
Relaxation & Recreation: So. Much. Choice.
Okay, this is where Jomtien Hisotel shines. The outdoor swimming pool is stunning. The pool with a view is amazing, and it's a great place to spend an afternoon. There is also a fitness center/gym. If you want hardcore workouts… well, it's a gym. You've got the pool, the gym, the spa… and just the general vibe of chilling out. It's a great place to relax.
Services & Conveniences: A Mixed Bag
The services are extensive. They have pretty much everything you could want: a concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry service, dry cleaning, and even a gift shop. There's an elevator (thank goodness!). There are facilities for disabled guests, which is great. However, some of the "conveniences" felt a little… over the top. Like, do I really need a Xerox/fax in the business center? I did not use the facility for disabled guests.
For the Kids (and the Kid in You)
Family/child friendly? Yep. They have babysitting services, and kids facilities of some kind. I don't have kids, so I was mostly focused on my own inner child, which, naturally, was delighted by the whole experience.
Getting Around & Practicalities: Smooth Sailing (Mostly)
They offer airport transfer and taxi service. This is a HUGE plus, especially in a place like Pattaya. The car park is free, and the hotel offers valet and concierge service.
The Verdict: Worth a Visit, But Come Prepared (and with a Sense of Humor!)
Jomtien Hisotel? It's not perfect. There are minor annoyances, maybe a few too many glitter cannons, and some things are just… odd. But overall? It's a solid choice. It's luxurious, fun, and offers plenty to keep you entertained (and well-fed). The staff are friendly, the spa is fantastic, and the pool is pure bliss.
But here's the kicker: Don’t expect perfection. Be prepared to laugh at the occasional hiccup. And for the love of all that is holy, pace yourself at the poolside bar.
My Final Recommendation – Jomtien Hisotel: Pattaya's BEST Kept Secret? Maybe Not, But Definitely Worth a Visit! (Bonus points for the spa and that glorious pool.)

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, chaotic mess that is my itinerary for Jomtien Hisotel Pattaya, Thailand. This isn't some pristine travel brochure, it's more like… let’s call it a slightly singed, but ultimately triumphant, survivor's tale of a vacation.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Pad Thai Predicament
Morning (aka, Getting Lost in the Bangkok Airport): Okay, so, first hurdle. Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport. It's HUGE. Like, airport so big you could live in it. I swear, I wandered around for a solid hour before finding the baggage claim. My internal monologue was basically a frantic "WHERE'S MY LIFE? WHERE'S MY LIFE?!" interspersed with increasingly desperate attempts to decipher Thai signage. Found the transfer to Pattaya eventually, though not without a near-miss involving a rogue tuk-tuk driver with a suspiciously charming smile. Always trust your gut, kids.
Afternoon (Check-in and the Room Reveal): Arrived at Hisotel around 2 PM, exhausted but optimistic. The lobby…well, it had air conditioning! (Important.) Check-in was smooth(ish). The room… it's got a view of something! Okay, it's not the ocean, its the neighboring building. I won't lie, I wanted to burst out laughing. Not a disaster, but definitely not the picture-perfect view I'd mentally crafted. But look, at least the AC works, and there's a (slightly dubious-looking) mini-fridge. So, win?
Evening (The Pad Thai Debacle): Ah, the quest for authentic Pad Thai. I'd been dreaming about this for months. Found a "highly recommended" street food stall near the hotel (according to Google Maps, anyway). The stall was… bustling. And the woman cooking… a whirlwind of sizzling noodles and spicy smells. The first bite… was glorious! Then, the spice hit. Like, face-melting, tear-inducing, needing-five-glasses-of-water-just-to-survive spice. I mean, it was delicious, but my mouth was on FIRE. I'm fairly certain I resembled a tomato by the end of it. Lesson learned: "mild" in Thailand is probably still "nuclear" to my delicate Western palate. Sat in my room, with a fan, with my mouth like a volcano.
Day 2: Beach Bliss and the Banana Pancake Conspiracy
Morning (Beach Time! …And Sunburn): Jomtien beach! Finally! It's beautiful, the water is a glorious turquoise. I spent the morning just… existing. Watching the waves, marveling at the sheer effortlessness with which Thai beach vendors drag their carts through the sand. I even ordered a coconut. Success! Okay, maybe a little too much success. Let's just say my shoulders are currently resembling a lobster. Sunscreen is your friend, people. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES.
Afternoon (Banana Pancake Addiction): This is where things get… messy. I kept seeing these people at the beach just devouring banana pancakes. So delicious they looked. That's right, I caved. And, oh my sweet heavens, I caved hard. I’m not even ashamed. I mean, light, fluffy pancakes, caramelized bananas, golden syrup… It was pure, unadulterated bliss. I think I ate, like, four of them. Before I knew it, I was making eyes at the pancake lady again.
Evening (Dinner Plans and Karaoke Thoughts): I walked down the street and kept seeing massage parlors. It was a bit overwhelming. The lights, the chatter, it all sort of runs into one another. Not going to lie, I sort of made a beeline for the hotel. Now pondering dinner. It's got to be something my mouth can handle. And I'm sort of tempted to go for karaoke tonight. I've got a secret weapon: "Bohemian Rhapsody". Pray for me.
Day 3: Temple Troubles and the Massage Mania
Morning: (Temple Stupidity): So I decided to go visit a temple. I got a taxi, I was all excited. I thought I was a local. Turns out, I was wearing shorts. I wasn't supposed to be wearing shorts. I felt like all the tourists were looking at me. I'm not so sure I like being looked at, I don't know if I'm okay with that. I also got to the temple at opening, so I was alone with my thoughts. I really didn't like that either.
Afternoon (Massage Marathon): After the temple, I needed to relax. I found a massage place, it was super chill and the masseuse was amazing. I didn't have to pretend about anything. I felt comfortable, and my muscles were relaxed. I've got to go back!
Evening (Night Market Mayhem): The night market! Amazing food stalls, clothing, and the sheer energy of it all. But… the crowds. So. Many. People. I almost lost my phone twice. I did eat an ice cream which was amazing (even if I had to fight off a couple of opportunistic seagulls). It was chaotic, and wonderful, and completely overwhelming.
Day 4: A Day of Reckoning with the Pancake Lady
Morning (The Pancake Lady's Return): I woke up. Sore. My eyes were burning from my sunburn. But I was hungering for pancakes, again. This is getting a little embarrassing. I should probably be ashamed, right? No. I dragged my sunburnt, slightly-hungover self back to the beach. There she was. The Pancake Lady. She smiled. I smiled back. I didn't even order. She just knew. Two pancakes, please. The sun hit my face in a heavenly way. I was living the dream.
Afternoon (Reflection and Planning): I felt good about myself, and decided to get a massage. Life is good! What to do tomorrow? Maybe another beach day. Maybe I'll be an adult. No. I need to get more pancakes.
Evening: (Packing…and Chocolate!): Okay, so tomorrow it's back home. Packing sucks, I hate it. But I also want to get home! Okay, so it'll be okay. I spent forever finding the perfect chocolate treat near the hotel. I'm going to enjoy it on the flight.
Day 5: Departure and Post-Thailand Blues
Morning (Goodbye Jomtien): Woke up, packed (mostly). Had a final, slightly melancholic, banana pancake. Took one last longing look at the ocean.
Afternoon (The Airport Again): More wandering, more decoding of signs. More near-misses with tuk-tuk drivers. But this time, I was a pro. (Sort of.)
Evening (Homeward Bound): On the plane, eating my chocolate, reflecting on the bizarre, amazing, and slightly sunburned adventure that was Thailand. Already dreaming of Pad Thai, banana pancakes, and the lovely Pancake Lady.
Jomtien Hisotel: Pattaya's (Seriously) Best Kept Secret? Let's Dive In (and Maybe Cry a Little)
Okay, Okay... What *Actually* Makes Jomtien Hisotel So Special? Because "Luxury" is Thrown Around a LOT.
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This is where I (trying not to hyperventilate) tell you... Jomtien Hisotel isn't just 'luxury,' it's a whisper of luxury. Think, a secret society. It's like finding a five-star hotel hiding in plain sight... and then hoping nobody else finds it, y'know? It's the kind of place where reality seems a little... nicer. The rooms? Forget your generic hotel rooms. They're huge. I'm talking walk-in closets bigger than some studio apartments I've lived in. And the balconies? Oh. My. God. Sunset views that'll make you (and this happened to me, FYI) actually tear up a little. I swear I teared up like 5 times the first day!
The vibe? Intimate. Quiet. Think less "Pattaya party central" and more "oasis of calm." The staff? Absolutely lovely. (And yes, I asked them like, a million questions, probably annoyed them to death. But they never let on. They were saints!). Honestly? It's the attention to detail. The little things. Fresh flowers, a perfectly made cappuccino, the way the pool glistens at night… it's all there for one (very important) reason: to calm me down.
What's the Deal with the Rooms? Are We Talking "Pinterest Perfect" or "Actually Liveable"?
Both! Seriously. They're Instagram-worthy, but they also feel, you know, used. In the BEST way. They're not sterile. They feel like a real space where real people can relax. I stayed in a suite with a private pool. (Bragging? Maybe a little. But hey, I'm sharing this experience with YOU.) The pool was, and pardon my language, freaking amazing. Clean. Perfect temperature. And the privacy! You could skinny dip (hypothetically, of course... ahem) and no one would bat an eye. Well, except maybe the friendly pool attendant who brings you fresh towels before you even have to ask. And honestly, they're the only ones doing a hard day's work there anyway - those poor, hard-working angels.
The bed? The kind you sink into. The kind you never want to leave. I almost missed a whole day of exploring because I couldn't drag myself out. (Don't judge. You would too.) The decor is… modern, but warm. Not cold and clinical. Think beautiful, understated elegance with a hint of "I could totally live here forever." (Which, let's be honest, is probably what I'd do if I could.)
The Food! Because Let's Face It, Bad Hotel Food Can Ruin Everything. Is It Any Good?
The food! Ah, the food. Okay, full disclosure, I'm a foodie. I'm also prone to dramatic pronouncements. But… the food at Jomtien Hisotel? It's worth *traveling* for. Seriously. I had the breakfast buffet every morning. Yes, I know I always do. But I would have it even if I had to swim there. Freshly squeezed juices, amazing fruit, the best omelets EVER, and the coffee… oh, the coffee! I was in heaven. The lunch and dinner menus were extensive, offering a range of Asian and Western dishes. I remember one night I ordered the Pad Thai and it was, and I'm not exaggerating, the best Pad Thai I've ever had. (And I've had a LOT of Pad Thai, okay?)
The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's open-air, with stunning views. It's even more beautiful I noticed that I'm getting emotional again. The service is, as always, impeccable. And what's more is that you are able to go anywhere and eat anything. The atmosphere of the restaurant is an experience in itself.
Okay, Gimme the Nitty-Gritty. What's the Biggest Drawback? Anything *Not* Perfect? Spill the Tea!
Alright, alright. Every rose has its thorns, right? Here are some minor, easily-overlooked flaws. (I'm being picky, honestly.)
Location: It's in Jomtien, which can be a pro and a con. Pro: It's quieter than central Pattaya. Con: You'll need a cab or a scooter to get to the more "action-packed" areas. But really, for me? It's a pro. I was there to relax, not to party till dawn. That said, it's nice to be able to take a taxi anywhere. The drivers are friendly.
The Price: It's not cheap. But, you get what you pay for. And honestly? Considering the level of luxury, the stunning views, the incredible service, and the feeling of pure bliss… it's worth every single baht. I would sell a kidney and stay there forever.
The Pool (again): (And I cannot stress this enough): Sometimes, depending on the time of day, other people are there. (Gasp!) This is a minor quibble, of course, but a girl can dream of (always) having a private pool, right?
I'm Sold! Where Do I Book and How Do I Make Sure I Get the *Best* Room?
Okay, here's the deal. Go to their website (Google it – it's not a secret!). If you can afford it – trust me, save up! – book the suite with the private pool, and then thank me later. Seriously. It's an experience. Try to get a room with a view (all of them are amazing, but some are *extra* amazing). Check booking websites, compare prices. (But honestly, book directly with the hotel if you can to avoid dealing with complications.) And, well, good luck. And remember, if you see me there (because, let's be real, I'll be back), give me a wave!
Final Thoughts? Would You *Actually* Recommend This Place?
Absolutely. Without a single, solitary doubt. Jomtien Hisotel isn't just a hotel, it's an escape. It's a little slice of paradise. It's pure, unadulterated bliss. It's worth every single penny, every single moment. It's better than chocolate, better than a massage, better than… well, you get the idea. Just go. Seriously. Go. And prepare to fall in love.Hotelicity
