Not sure when it opens but a Thai friend told me that the work was stopped some months ago when the contractor or someone took off with a large sum of unearned cash. But let's not jump to conclusions-he probably gave it to an orphanage or some other charity. Work did resume again after the owner regained his composure. My thai friend works nearby but I can't verify his story.
Not sure if this is the one you are asking about (as I don't know where the "Ritz" is located...not a regular visitor to Jomtien Complex), but I did notice a rather impressive looking hotel being built. Called "The Agate".
Not open yet, but is looking pretty nice. This is a picture I took last week.
It looks nice.hopefully it will succeed.Wish them well.

A bit on the expensive side but looks great.
The swimming pool appears smaller than the one at Zing Resort & Spa next door. But the rooms look very comfortable.

Here is the link and you will note when clicking on photo gallery there are several dozen photos not just the 14 buttons shown.
It is most impressive layout and I was surprised the depth on that location.
My friend who enjoys dining out went Ericks Restaurant for the opening night and sent a few pics.
He raves over Ericks famous potato pancakes. I MIGHT try them next trip.

Any idea when its going to open , and room rates,? no mention on the webb site
The Agate is a renovation and expansion of a long-dead hotel called the Mariner's Rest. Perfect for a seaside town. It's a shame the new owners thought that was too quaint.
