Fodor's Expert Review The Gems Mining

Despite a somewhat odd African theme, Gem's Mining is one of Pattaya's classiest new luxury properties. Fabulous landscaping means that each of its 77 rooms and villas feel wonderfully secluded, even though the hotel is next to the main Bangkok-Pattaya motorway. The pick of the accommodations are the Ruby three-bedroom pool villas, which have a private pool and access to a larger lagoon pool.
