One of the pools at Z Through by the Zign, Pattaya

Z Through by the Zign is a new boutique hotel in soi 12 off Naklua Road in Northern Pattaya. As the name somewhat clumsily points out, it is an offshoot of the nearby Zign Hotel, a huge twin tower complex overlooking it’s own private beach, which mostly caters to Russian and Korean tour operators. The same family owned group is responsible for the new TSixty5 hotel in the same street, closer to Naklua Road.

The concept of this hotel is lofty and one can really see how the designers and owners have put a lot of effort into this property. The problem lies in the gap between the concept and the execution, which is sometimes clumsy, but I will get to that later, in the review below.

Poolside gardens at The Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Bangkok

In this week’s review we will be looking at The Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit.

I used Starpoints to stay at this hotel earlier this year, my first Luxury Collection stay. The hotel is very nice, but the highlight was undoubtedly the amazing pool. I got down and dangerous and took the camera into the pool just so I could film a tour of this extensive pool. The video is below.

I made a video review of the popular accommodation reservation site Agoda.com.

In this review I cover price comparisons with other popular reservation sites for hotels and resorts in Thailand, as well as their unique Agoda Rewards program, in which you accrue points which you can redeem for discounts on future bookings. I also look at their customer service, including their cancellation policy and finally I take a look at an area where I think they could improve.

Below the video you will find the transcript of the video, and at the very bottom of the post is the audio version, which you can listen to here on the site, or download and listen to at your leisure.

The excellent location and the luxurious guest rooms and facilities set the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Bangkok apart from other hotels in the city. Just 1 mile from the city center, this 5 star Sheraton Luxury Collection Hotel has direct access to both the Skytain and the Subway making this the ideal location for both business and leisure travelers.

Rich woods, marble, Thai silks and more are used to furnish and decorate the guest rooms, and with the Deluxe Rooms offering the largest standard hotel rooms in Bangkok guests can be assured of space and comfort when staying here.

Other 5 star facilities at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Bangkok include several award winning restaurants, a lively club, a jazz lounge, business center, function rooms, and Grande Spa and Fitness Club.

The beautiful freeform swimming pool is surrounded by lush vegetation providing plenty of shade and privacy when desired, plus the feeling of being far away from the bustling streets of Bangkok. I decided to try something new this time and go down to the pool early before people started coming down and make a video showing the full extent of the pool and surrounding areas.
