Dusit £20 a night..hmmmm

[irmster 0]

Having already booked Sabai resort for my stay next week, I saw today that Trailfinders are offering Dusit resort for what would work out at £20 a night for a Garden room or £26 for a sea-view room (based on stay 5 nights get 5 nights free). Price is same for single or double booking - although from what I understand joiner fee would only be avoided for the first registered guest.

 

Seems a very good deal and not much more expensive from my booking for Sabai Resort pool view room - I stayed at Dusit resort a few years ago - was with my g/f then so no joiner fee issue. Hotel was pretty nice and it has been renovated since then I think.

 

Have to decide by tomorrow as it's on request only through Trailfinders.

 

...have now booked....too good to turn down. Sea view room - averages out THB1900 nett.

Thanks for the tip, have booked a seaview room for ten nights commencing 7th August. I'll have my young child with me so won't be bringing overnight guests back .

If you've got time could you let me know your views on the hotel on your return please.

will do - I'll have my laptop with me so may even do from there. I stayed there Christmas 1999 - in a Garden view room. Rooms were a little dated, but I believe most have been refurbished since as has the pool area and Spa. Have also gone for a sea-view room this time. For those who are looking to spend around THB 1500-2000 a night, this is a great deal. You can get up to 7 + 7 free nights - I was originally staying 9 nights, ie 5 + 4 free, but have extended to 10 as it's the same price - ie 5 + 5 free. Also, unlike similar deals, they don't force you to buy breakfast for the free nights - which would have cost around an extra £7 a day.

As the only drawback the place has won't apply to you, you've picked a winner. If I were in your situation, it'd be near the top of my list.

Just for your calc.

One of the cheapest online sells Dusit at...

Garden 3400B

Sea 4100B

Tax included, no B'fast.

 

Not from the UK myself. Tried to dig up great rates before when it comes to Maldives, Dubai, AND Dusit Pattaya (where I always stay). Seems like the best deals are always with a flight involved from the UK.

I have paid £260 for 10 nights (so approx THB 1950 per night) - includes taxes but not breakfast - this is for a Seaview room. For a Garden view room 10 nights would have been £205 (approx THB 1530 per night - an even better deal if you don't want the view).

 

Cost for a seaview room booked direct with the hotel for the same period is THB 6000 per night (once you add on the tax) - equates to £800 for the trip as opposed to the £260 I have paid. Through Precision reservations (planet holiday) you can get this down to THB 4850 per night nett, but no where near the price I paid.

 

I have not included the 'extra cost' of THB 1000 per night which could be incurred, but for me it won't apply every night -I need the rest

 

You can book this deal by phone with Trailfinders on +44 7938 3939.

To get this deal you do not need to have booked a flight with Trailfinders - they will do a Hotel only deal. I did not book my flight with them.

duke,

 

Take your kid to the Pattaya Park Hotel in Jomtiem. They have a good water park with slide, big pool. Hotel is on the beach. Your kid will love it.

For UK members, I read in the Mail on Sunday last week. Quest Travel, 10 nights at Dusit Resort inc flights £499. If serious you would have to double check and I guess it is for 2 sharing.

Still a good deal if you are not Big Butterfly

flight inclusive deals tend to be for 2 sharing and lop on a fairly hefty single supplement - which is a joke as Dusit rooms (like most others these days) are the same whether single or double occupancy..

BigDusa,

I haven't been to Pattaya park since 1999 but will definately pay a visit for the day. The Hard Rock pool looks nice so will also be on the list of things to do as, no doubt will be the Tiger Zoo etc.

Hopefully I will have a babysitter in the evenings so I can go out and get rid off some dirty water , It's been a long time since I've been free and single in Thailand.
