Alternatives to Zing Resort and Spa

[zombie]

I hope to visit Jomtien again soon for a few days. Zing resort seems fully booked so any suggestion for alternatives with pros and cons: Agate and The Venue or others?

Thanks, any help!

Agate more expensive, Venue more noisy. 

No shortage of hotels in the area and all will be visitors friendly. Consider East Suites within complex

Wow 😯

The Zing is fully booked ?

I stayed there in September and could choose any room

But it's  coming up to high season🥳🎉🎉

Although a 5 minutes bus ride from the complex ....have you considered Sansuk Gay Sauna Hotel ??

Breakfast is included in the room rate and sauna entry usually 250 baht

Have you tried searching other booking platforms? What is sold out on one platform may not be sold out on another. Agate is also very nice, and East Suites (as @vinapu mentioned) is another viable option, although I've never stayed there before but seems quite nice.

East Suites is great with big rooms and I have often stayed there but with only 8 (I think) rooms it sells out fast in high season.

Vinapu’s brief advice is spot on. I would be surprised if the Agate is fully booked. It’s a lot larger than its outside appearance would suggest and during my stay there in August I sometimes got the impression that it was 90% empty. Perhaps try a direct reservation by email or telephone if rooms are not available on the platforms.

it's only few clicks to find out but you are right , I never stay in East Suites as whenever I wanted to book they were full.

When I said fully booked i meant that mainly it seems 90% plus booked.

Can get a room there for a night or 2 but when I checked for 3 nights plus on the dates I wanted either the reply was fully booked or a different room for each night.

Anyway  Sansuk looks interesting so I appreciate your helpful reply.

[Olddaddy]

Yes I like sansuk 

I got fucked there last month by a horny young indian dude🇮🇳 (free) who kept calling me a daddy slut !

I’ve stayed at the Sansuck several times but not since Covid. An attraction was that staying there included admittance to the gay sauna of which, like Olddaddy, I took full advantage. However there are no recent descriptions of this facility on this site. The rooms were fine but  the place is rather far (well over a mile)  from “the action” in the Complex with an uphill walk to the main road  where using the baht buses was sometimes difficult (often full)

i had Zombie’s problem last January with the Complex hotels not having availability. I easily found a room in the Jomtien Palm Beach Resort which is the big hotel nearby on the beach. I asked about joiners mentioning that for me they would be boys and the reception replied “no problem”. After a good week there I did eventually find availability at the Agate on Expedia for the rest of my stay. Maybe the Palm Beach is worth considering.

Book quickly. We arrived yesterday and the Complex was as busy as I've seen it since last High Season.  I know that it was Jomtien's Loy Khatong  but according to hotel staff, the season has started-off very well.

Excellent news; it was very subdued when we were here last in July.

Agree, the rooms at the front of The Venue can be a bit noisy. Trick is to book direct with The Venue and ask for a back room.

In terms of availability, I know they are fully booked tomorrow. 

E-Mail is thevenuejomtienpattaya@hotmail.com

Other options to consider are:

1) Dorothy's. This is above Buenos Mexican. 

2) CockA2 bar has 2 rooms.

3) If you're looking to push the boat out and impress,  then Poseidon. Tel. +66 38 303 698.

4) Not 100%, but believe Best Bar has some rooms. Tel. +66 61 587 4222

Agata Hotel I stayed several times already and will be back in a few weeks from now... Always good experience staying there.

Best rates and availability via their own site: https://www.theagatepattaya.com/

If no available rooms show up on their site for your dates, send them an e-mail. I always managed to secure a room, even when online booking showed no vacancies.

I just arrived the other night and I felt the same way....

Want to meet for drinks or dinner one night, went last night with @BjornAgain for food and drinks and planning Mexican food and Poseidon within the next week....

I like Poseidon, on the corner of the Jomtien Complex. It is not only a hotel, but also a very good restaurant. The owner of the hotel is German, the cook in the restaurant is from the Netherlands.

both on bit pricey side though

The “indoor swimming pool” consists of what could be described as a large bathtub, through which flows a pumped stream of water, against which you can swim. I found this quite amusing but my 2 night boy refused to join me in the water. I stayed there just before Covid - it was fine, but I can’t remember using the restaurent. It was 100% gay.

Zing continues to be very busy.  While I was checking in yesterday (about 2 pm), they turned away another customer without a reservation & told him that they were fully booked.

Have updated my original post with additional contact details, also added Siam House; which is between Dorothy's and Poseidon.

We went to Poseidon for dinner last night, @BjornAgain Rob from Cocka2 bar and another farang friend, was packed but the service is always good as well as the food, I got the spaghetti with prawn a la Tom.... perhaps the best shrimps (Prawns) I've ever had, pasta was a little dry, I mentioned that to the chef, I'm sure it'll be netter next time.

@ of us ordered the crepe Suzette mostly to watch Moe, the waiter prepare them....
