Thanyalak at The Gallery Condominium

The Gallery Jomtien Condominium is quiet and very clean, with gates on both sides of the road that only residents can enter through. The rooftop pools are beautiful and spotless, with a stunning view.

I couldn't check in. This lady took my room key. Don't get scammed here.

The rooftop is a standout, with a panoramic ocean view from the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and free fitness area. It stays open until 23 H, and security includes guards and cameras. The residence is quiet, on a private street with access reserved for residents and guests, about 100 meters from the beach at the start of Jomtien Beach. Central Pattaya, shops, and nightlife are 5 kms or about 15 minutes away by public taxis. My apartment was a luxurious, brand new 33 sq/m unit on the 7th floor, in a building with contemporary architecture. It has a sea view and a separate bedroom. Inside, there are two LCD TVs with cable, including TV5, free ADSL internet from the private property, a washing machine, safe, fridge, microwave, electric hobs, extractor hood, coffee maker, toaster, kitchen equipment, and a shower room.

The location and staff were excellent, and I’d happily stay again. It’s a quiet spot in Jomtien, but still walkable to everything, including the baht bus into Pattaya City. The balconies are small but do the job. A few things could be better: there’s no aircon in the gym, and the pool deck and inside tiles need maintenance or replacement. The buildings also have no rubbish chutes, so you have to carry your trash down to the carpark bin.
