Checked into a bungalow that I found for a superb off-season price. Room showed hints of a decade or so of age but had been about half modernized. No complaints. The bungalow had its own front porch and was in a quiet gardened area. Most bungalows had a porch-front pool that snaked through the area offering everybody quick access to a cool down. The grounds were exceptionally beautiful and resembled almost a botanical garden. They had a small bird zoo and several ponds with fish to add to the jungle ambience. The hotel had a peace and tranquility, plus an laid back vibe that is not available in more built up areas around Pattaya. The breakfast buffet was as good as i had hoped but did not have much locally inspired cuisine. The restaurant was good and well priced. Beach area was quiet and no hawkers or noisy jet skis or boats. A small cafe on the beach served coffee and drinks and could bring food to you from the main restaurant. There is nothing to really do within walking distance though. And the area around the hotel is a little shabby for taking a stroll. There are a few small stores and a good massage shops next to the resort. I used a taxi to get around and usually had to call for one. It usually took less than 10 minutes for one to arrive and one way to Jomtien took about 12 minutes and cost 7 US dollars. I saw plenty of people walking out to the main highway to attempt to save some money and flag down cheaper transportation. The hotel and service is very good. But, having stayed in top tier hotels, I would not say that it is up to those levels of almost perfection. It is at a notch just below that, and considering price, the Pinnacle Grand Jomtien is hard to beat.

Visited this property after reading a lot of great reviews on the Internet. So, had kind of very high expectations. But this is a good option if and only if you are not vegetarian and like staying away from the hustle & bustle of the day. Sharing here few pros and cons on the basis of experience of an Indian Vegetarian :

Pros:
• Very peaceful and quiet
• Private Beach
• A couple of small but good massage centres adjacent to the property
• Check-in was fast and smooth and early too, without any hassle
• Own beach beds and towels available free of charge.

Cons:
• No vegetarian options other than a couple like veg pizza, French fries
• No Indian restaurants in the vicinity, which could serve as a setback for vegetarian Indians.
• Far from main Pattaya, Walking Street.
• Shuttle service is available, but expensive @ 80 Baht per person, one way ; and cab costs around 300 Baht, one way, to reach Central Pattaya.

Washrooms also not as per Indian standards.
• Even though the rates are not very high but the actual overall stay costs more due to extra charges like transfer to main Pattaya everyday, no food options in the vicinity...etc. Even beach is not as great inspite of comfy sunbeds, towels and a bar on site.

Might have given a 4star rating if I were non vegetarian.
These are my personal thoughts based on my experience. No offence intended to anyone.

Would rather stay at Central Pattaya than here.

During my holiday in Pinnacle Grand Jomtien Resort, I was constantly noticing how great Sumalee performs her daily tasks at the reception. She was always kind, competent and polite, helping all the people with a smile in all kinds of circumstances. Whenever I had a question, she would always patiently explain. Hence, it was always nice to deal with her. I am definitely looking forward to staying at your hotel and meeting Sumalee once again.
