Great location, reasonable price

Villa Navin is located on Beach Road, directly across from the sea. It has many individual cottages (villas) on either side of a long road, each with a driveway and a front yard, a few small huts next to the central pool, and three 2-story buildings with standard rooms at the very back of the resort, also with vehicle parking. I stayed in a standard room. The rooms are clean and large, with a desk, closet, dining table with 2 chairs, frig and electric kettle, but no safe-deposit box. Beds are comfortable. The bathroom is very small, with no tub or enclosed shower, so that the floor is often wet; flip-flops are needed but not provided. The free wifi in the room usually works adequately for email, if not always very fast, but sometimes not at all. The tv reception is poor is some rooms; I had to change rooms to get good tv reception. There are some channels in English, including BBC and Fox news. There is a large dining room next to the pool, but it is only open on rainy days 7-10 am to serve the set breakfast of orange juice, coffee/tea/cocoa, fried eggs or omlet, sausage and toast; Thai congee (chicken-rice porridge) is also available. Refills are free for the coffee and juice, as well as extra toast. There is a 7-11 and a Family-Mart near the entrance. The Jomtien Night Market (5-10 pm) is a 5 minute walk away. There are also several large fruit stands just across from the market. Walking on Beach Road another 5 minutes gets to the busy shopping and entertainment area of Jomtien, with many bars. A lounge chair under an umbrella on the beach can be rented for 40 baht/day. Staff are friendly and helpful, but most are poor in English.
