Sea Crest by Jomtien Hotel

The location was fabulous 2 minutes to the beach yet quiet and comfortable for a good rest. We used this hotel as a base for 5 weeks, the hotel was safe and secure. Lovely laundry lady just next door so no need to bring loads. Shops, night markets and restaurants on the doorstop. Excellent bhatt bus service to surrounding areas. Hotel staff honest and thoughtful. Cleaning service daily with fresh bottled water, towels, tea and coffee and toiletries replenished daily. Huge bed very comfortable we slept well. Pool is a lovely quiet retreat for mornings and evenings. We loved the place, the staff and the privacy they allowed. Breakfast can be anything you want as buffet is an ecliptic mix eggs and rice keep you filled. Try everything. Thank you seacrest we hope to come back.

Sur service, small pool, only 5 hangers to hang up clothes for 2 pers. We stayed in a suitcase for two weeks. +that it was near the beach,-that there was a lot of garbage both on the beach and in the water. Great night market right nearby. Otherwise Thailand is one great country, a lot of nice people, but do not recommend Jomtien as a destination. But we're going to Thailand again .

Oh, where do I begin with this hotel experience? It serves as a shining example of why handing over complete control to an architect or interior designer might not be the best idea. While the aesthetic may align with the trendy warehouse vibe, the functionality is sorely lacking. . Let's start with the aquatic adventure in the so-called swimming pool. Instead of a leisurely dip, guests are treated to a unique wading experience as they traverse the pool to reach the elusive deck chairs. A design choice that defies logic and practicality. . Moving on to the logistical nightmare, the absence of a service entrance is baffling. The main lobby reception area doubles as a thoroughfare for all hotel activities – from laundry transportation to the delivery of essential supplies. It's like a chaotic circus, and guests are unwitting spectators in the midst of it all. . Breakfast is served with a side of heat stroke, thanks to the strategically misplaced breakfast area. With only one shaded table, patrons are left to bask uncomfortably in the sun, turning the glass-encased dining space into a sauna. A simple touch of sun protection on the windows could have made this space bearable. . Fitness enthusiasts, beware. The gym, strategically placed on the first floor communal area to the hotel rooms, exercisers are subjected to the constant foot traffic of other guests. And to top it off, the absence of air conditioning transforms the workout into a sweaty, experience. . As for the room, maintenance seems to be a foreign concept. The shower drain plays a never-ending game of blocked and unblocked the water, despite multiple attempts at intervention. The perpetually filling toilet turns water conservation into a distant dream. And let's not forget the TV, which, unless manually rescanned, offers a whopping five channels for entertainment. . In terms of design, the room layout is an exercise in impracticality. With an excessive 43 light bulbs illuminating the space, practical living areas are sacrificed. There's no designated spot for suitcases or bags, the bed was off the wall and had no bed head which made the bed became incredibly short as your pillows could fall over the top, I'm only 5 foot 8 and I've never been in a bed where my feet hangover the end. . A notable inconvenience was the absence of a curtain for the glass above the entrance door. Compounded by the glaring brightness of the common area light, it relentlessly infiltrated the room throughout the night, casting an unwelcome luminosity that disrupted any hope of peaceful rest. . Despite positive reviews from others, our experience leaves us scratching our heads. Perhaps our liking for functionality clashes with the claimed charm of this establishment. In summary, this hotel is a masterclass in impracticality, maintenance neglect, and a staff that seems to be suffering from severe customer service fatigue. . Grumpiness and age aside, our grievances are grounded in a stark reality that overshadows any glimmer of charm this place may possess.
