I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights because it was selected by the tour. This hotel was about 10km from downtown that was not so good. Buffet breakfast was also not so much options. Fortunately, the room was clean and quiet.

The reason why this hotel is so good is because the hotels own description IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU GET. No lies No photo shopped photos and 99.99 per cent of the staff were so polite, kind and helpful it was amazing. Is it a 3 star or 4 star hotel i don't care it offered 5 star treatment. Rooms clean and FULLY equipped with all anybody would need . As i have been visiting the Jomtein area for more than 30 years i have stayed at lots of different hotels but my future home will be Lawinta Hotel on my 3 visits a year. Its a 7 minute walk to the beach which i did everyday . Whatever you need , food shops restaurants etc are all available nearby. Yes they cater for groups of Chinese tourists but this was not a problem or had any effect on how much i enjoyed this Hotel. Thank you Lawinta for being such a lovely place to stay for my 15 days. See you again soon.

Part one -
So far we stayed 1 week and are going to stay 3 weeks more. The hotel is worth the money. Service minded both in reception, restaurant(breakfast) and housekeeping. The room have a good bed size, comfortable, good size room and clean. The hotel is quiet new but already we can see that it needs abit freshing up. That is normal in Thailand I think from experience. French balcony. Pool in 8th floor is good but miss a bar. I guess it’s possible to order from restaurant 1. Floor. Only 5 sun beds. Breakfast is buffet or set menu. You can have set menu in room. We would expect more from the buffet but we are happy to know that we could ask for eggs in different ways, bacon and yoghurt. Hope that will be part of the buffet in future so the guest do not need to ask for it every day. The fitness room is ok but miss more equipment. Like manuals/free weights. There is a outdoor gym just 50 m from the hotel that you can pay extra for(not belonging to the hotel, 700bath for 2 weeks). Last but not least we hope for a room upgrade some time during stay since we decided to stay her for 26 nights. Would be appreciated. We are happy so far and would recommend staying here.

Part two- after 4 weeks.
As a long stay guest I’m sorry to say your hotel still have enough to work on. Your staff is still working hard and do their best to be service minded. That we appreciate! After 4weeks stay we expect abit more from the management of the hotel. It’s normal to do some changes to the breakfast that is offered not to get too bored of the food for long time stay. Also a offer of upgrade of the room would be appreciated and/or at least a offer of late check out last day without charge (we declined the offer of 500bath for extra 4hours), would have cost nothing for the hotel to offer long stay guest. What about a fruit surprise in the room or something to say that we appreciate that we decided to stay longer than what is usual? Anyway we still would recommend short term stay and perhaps we would stay again for a week or so but sorry no longer. By the way, our room were booked with balcony. I recommend you write French balcony as it is not space for a chair. Thanks anyway.
