Decided on Jomtien but need some opinions

IMHO:

Agate: classical Thai hotel, close to European 4-stars, very gay-friendly.
Venue: classical gay-hotel, European 3-stars
Poseidon: less "gay" than Venue but still gay-hotel, at past was more "luxury" than Venue but still 3-stars, I didn't visit it over 5 years, and don't know if it is still has some "posh" flavor.

By my taste: is better to live on the beach - I mean in "the first line" hotels (Tui's, Avalon, Rabbit resort, BB House, 3 of 4 have pools) since I daily spend more time there than in J-Complex. I prefer to watch sunsets and sea, instead of hot and empty (most time of the day) soi.
