We stayed at Frank’s condo from December to March 2019. The condo is well located, 2 blocks/ approx. 10 min. walk from the beach via Soi Sansabai Rd & Bangla Rd. Lots of restaurants and shops in the vicinity. Jungceylon Mall with huge Big C supermarket and Banzaan Market for fruit & veg. all within a few minutes’ walk. The condo is in good condition from the exterior all units with large balconies.The spacious entrance area is furnished & nicely tiled. There is a management office, a small convenience shop & a travel agency as well as a bookcase with guests recycled books. Building doors are operated by keycard. There are two elevators at the front and one at the back by the gym. Laundry facilities are in the basement. Washers are 30 baht for 11kg machine,60 baht for XL machine. Dryers 20baht/10mins & need at least 80baht to dry. You can have laundry done anywhere for 50baht/KG.
The condo was spacious however describing as a “luxury” condo is a stretch. Furniture needs upgrading in the living room as well as the bedroom mattresses. It definitely gave the impression of a holiday let, not a luxury condo. Beds were made but additional linens were not matching. OK for short stay, not so good longer. All rooms have their own programmable aircon. Layout is good for privacy, 2 bedrooms separated by living room. Both have ensuites, one with full bathtub/shower, other with walk in shower. Hot water was sporadic in the shower. Kitchen was small but functional. Enough dishes, glasses, cutlery, utensils for 4. Microwave, 2 burner hotplate, toaster all worked well. Toshiba 2 door fridge/freezer kept everything super cold. 2 TV’s but only living room one worked. There were a few channels in varying languages, 2 movie & 2 news channels in English. We did not try the DVD. Not enough towels for a longstay; 2 white & 2 brown bath towels + 2 beach towels. There was a basic supply of liquid soap, toilet tissue and cleaning supplies in the condo. The pool opens at 9am, limited lounge chairs, maybe 10, which were usually occupied by 11am. Hard plastic with no pads, & very uncomfortable! No food or drinks allowed but we did take bottled water with no issues. Frank was a good host and replied to emails quickly. We had a few issues. He resolved what he could quickly & apologized for what could not be attended to while we were there. The unit itself has potential but is definitely tired.
