DG69,
I think as someone said, the link can be deceiving since it is computer generated. What you see on the link isn't exactly what you see when you get there. The link you provided shows the front which is the courtyard now which has lots of independent stalls selling their art and stuff. Nevertheless the place is new and very nice when I made a visit there to check it out for myself.

They call it a Resort but it looks more like a Condo than anything else. It is located just off Beach Rd. right after the Royal Garden. The official location is in a courtyard call Pattaya City Walks, that starts from Beach Rd. and runs through to 2nd Rd. just like the Marriort. Within the courtyard there are many gifts stalls and a number of International eating places. The information that I have is that it is only 2 months old and not all the rooms are completed. There is no major construction going on that I could see or hear except for your normal shop upgrades.
The duluxe rooms are 2,200 baht, they call this price and the others right now "pre-opening offer 40-45% " the room size is 33sqm, and some of the others rooms, deluxe courtyard, Studio Premier, 1 bedroom premium which is 60 sqm/ 645 sqf which is 3,500 baht. Promotion for Deluxe Rooms for 1 week is 13,500 baht and 1 month is 44,100 baht.
As for joiner fee the answer is No! but when you register you must indicated that the room is for two, and when you bring your lady back she must leave her I.D. at front desk. The desk area is very private and there is no walk of shame!
There is a indoor swimming pool on the second floor and a fitness area. They advertise Complimentary daily breakfast and have a purple Tuk Tuk that take you around to nearby areas. There is a Electronic Safe deposit Box in each room and they advertise most rooms have tubs. Internet/Wireless in room is 350 baht per day. But if you just want to check email, they have a computer in the lobby that is free.
Overall as noted the place is brand new and located in a very convienent location.
Within the courtyard, right on the otherside is Baywalk Residence another new place.

Rooms run from Superior to Family suites. Superior starts at 1,500 baht and the suites are 6,300 baht. Monthly is 30,000 for Superior. There is a swimming pool on the roof, safe in room, room has free Internet, laptop wireless. hairdryers, outside terrace for everyroom.
You need anything else let me know... I can also provide freelancer from beach rd. Heh Heh!
Good luck, LBM[/QUOTE]Hi LBM,
Thanks for the info! This is good stuff.
As for Fraser, I am going to see if I can spend a couple of nights in the one bedroom as I like the extra space but will also try the deluxe. What happens if I bring 2 friends back home, do I need to indicate the 3 persons will be staying with me.
As for Baywalk Residences (thanks for the link), I had a problem with their website for checking availability so sent them an e-mail instead. But the Royal Suite is exactly what I am looking for (albeit a bit pricey) but something I could enjoy for a couple of nights (to splurge) and then fall back to a regular room. I assume no joiner fees here too but will ask them directly.
Will try these options on my next trip and report back.

Here is some addition information for Baywalk
Reservation: [email]res@baywalkresidencepattaya.com[/email]
Sales: [email]sales@baywalresidencepattaya.com[/email]
Telephone: +66(0)38 711 300
Fax: +66(0) 38 710 100
Although I didn't ask at Baywalk but I'm pretty sure no joiner fee
Fraser: when I ask the girl at the front desk, she smile to the question of joiner fee, clearly indicated to me that although you are alone you must register the unkown second guest and that second guest when you bring her in to Resort must leave her I.D. at the front desk. Not sure of Third and that is the same as Baywalk.
Although Baywalk isn't as nice in the front as Fraser, I can see why Baywalk has a better view since it isn't as far set back as Fraser. The swimming pool being on the roof gives you a better view to Walking St... and the waterfront.
There is also a outdoor dinner area with a view.

LBM[/QUOTE]LBM, you should start your own "Pattaya Travel and Monger Services" and try to get kickbacks from all the places (and freelancers) you recommend... :)
[QUOTE=Bumholes1]Many online hotel booking agencies show a room rate which looks competitive, until you realise that tax and service charges have to be added.
What's the point of not showing the total price?
[/QUOTE]
They are showing the total price of the room. Taxes and govt service charges are not revenue for the hotel, they are fees generated for and by the local government thus not included in the hotel rates. It is legal and ethical practice for merchants universally not to initially disclose taxes and surcharges in the price of goods/services. Informed consumers know that they are subjected to be taxed and should inquire as to the rates before hand if they want to know it.
When prostitution becomes legalized and hookers are thus obligated to collect government taxes, it will be noteworthy to see if they include the dreaded government tax rate in their service price.
I'm heading to Pattaya in August and I think I'll be staying at the Nova Platinum Hotel. I've read good reviews here and the free internet is a plus. Right now if you book over the internet the fees are 1299 baht per night.
[url]http://www.amari.com/AmariBookingEngine/FrontEnd/frmBookingSearch.aspx[/url]
Can anybody recommend a place just as good and affordable with internet? I'm there for a month and don't want to be stuck in the same place.
I think I asked my question a bit too fast because I'm finding my own answers using the search function.
Same as last trip I stayed at the Dynasty Inn on Soi 13. Think a normal room was 1,600 baht per night.
It is pretty much only mongerers that stay at this hotel, and it is very girl friendly. I had no problem with having two girls in the room at the same time for example.
Good location, not in the middle of everything, but all the action is close by. Get a room that faces towards the garden, since it can be a bit loud outside at night.
Cool thing that this hotel has is a chair that is perfect to sit back and enjoy a beer and a BJ in, I called it "the throne"... :)
Some girlies at work in front of the throne in this picture, and some more if you scroll down from this one ito my other posts in the photo gallery.

The Scout,
If you are happy with the hotel for 1299 per night, now contact them and get the price for a month if you haven't already!

LBM[/QUOTE]Thanks for the suggestion! I've spent the last week RTFF and researching other stuff. I booked the Nova Platinum for one week only because I won't be in Pattaya for a month. Afterward I'll extend or I might change to the Pattaya Bay Resort for a week, then spend a week I in Phuket with a Japanese girl, then I'll my unknown story will continue from there.
Maybe the prices are discounted now because it's off season. I booked through [url]http://www.amari.com/[/url] which had the lowest prices compared to other sites like [url]www.agoda.com[/url]
lbm,
thanks to your reports, i just finished a four day stay at the baywalk residence, got a great price at latestays 1, 400thb per night + a small booking fee. great location! large rooms. no tub just shower. pillows have a musty mildewy smell.
front desk staff not friendly. have to register guest. make sure your guest has id.
at this price it's a good deal. will not be back though.
btw, beach road ladies are present, but mostly fugly. only a couple that are doable and i'm not that picky! i'm really disappointed. not sure if this is because of the recent crackdown.
have already book the lk renaissance for my next stay in late august for 1, 750thb. this rate is through the end of october. then high season kicks in at 2, 400thb walked by it on way to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord900][CodeWord900][/url] and asked to see a standard room. it's so much nicer (just a quick visual comparison).
Tryntry - thanks for the feedback. I'm consdering staying here. I may book in for a night or two and check out toher options.
Is the 1750 at LK Renaissance their base room? I stayed in one last year for 1500. Didn't like the tub though and would prefer a shower.
TrynTry,
I'm somewhat surprise that the staff wasn't friendly, the 1st time I went to get the information the girl was extremely friendly and informative. Today I was there and the guy that was behind the desk was also very informative and friendly. But you're the one staying there and the one smelling the sheets so that's a opinion for others seeing this should take into consideration.
Taking the I.D. of the girls are always a good idea especially for the protection of the customer but if they were ruded that is another thing.
Thanks for reporting back on your experience, LBM
Are their discounts for low season?
Is their a girl friendly hotel between beach rd and 2nd road in south pattaya that has sea view rooms and free breakfast and less noisy and under 1000 bht? I can sacrifice internet, pool, laundry etc.

Thanks for reporting back on your experience, LBM[/QUOTE]They were not friendly maybe when they saw I was only paying 1, 400 Thb. And when I requested extra towels at check-in they wanted to charge me, so I said forget it. Got it from the house keeping crew the next day, no charge, no problem.
Front desk was not rude. Just didn't seem to care if I returned or not, at least that's my perception.
