goreme Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Looking for at least 25m pool with steam and/or sauna and gym in one location. Tried Rattilanna which has a nice pool but the gym is so dark feels like a night club and the sauna/steam rooms barely fit 3 people each. Any recommendations?

NancyL Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Centara Duang Tawan Hotel offers membership in their hotel fitness center. The pool is a dogleg, but it's at least 25 meters long. Each locker room has a large whirlpool/sauna/steam room, but they aren't co-ed. I really liked the whirlpool in the winter after swimming in the chilly pool. Don't use it now that I live on the other side of town. Edited April 20, 2015 by NancyL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howlee101 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 THe wife and I were looking at buying a house in the Sansaran development. The fitness center was very impressive ... not sure if the pool is 25m but the facility is definitely worth looking into. The cost was approx. 18K baht per person.

Tracyb Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The Shangri La has a great facility. Locker rooms, changing rooms, steam, sauna, whirlpool all in the men's locker room, spacious, well maintained, CLEAN, and the gym is well equipped, well lit, and well maintained. There is a small room attached for yoga, stretching, etc. the pool is huge and well attended by staff. Complimentary ice water delivered to your poolside seats. Food service also available. Free parking with lots of space underground. We find the staff to be well trained, courteous, smiling and exceptionally accommodating. They have a number of options for membership including family rates. it IS a bit more expensive than other locations but after we tried those cheaper places and experienced the frustrations they offered, we are very happy at the Shangri La. Drop by and take a look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortrubl Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) As Newbie noted Sansaran is very nice. I've been a member since last November. Cost is 12K Baht per year for a single, 9K baht for 6 months. Not sure if there is a family rate. The pool is 25 meters long, 50 meters for a lap. I swim there almost every day. The only negative comment I have is that the men's changing facility is a bit small. Small lockers and just a small area to change in. Can't say about the women's side of the house.

northernjohn Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Shangri La hotel! No cheap, but very good. Do they have any staff that could help with suggestions for different areas. also is the equipment well maintained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goreme Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks for all the great suggestions. It sounds like best options are Sansara, Dong Tuan and Shangri-la. Of the 3, Sansara is a good 30-40mins away so only got quotes for the other 2 as follows: Dong Tuan 1x guest entry - B300 membership: 1mo - 2000 3mo - 5000 6mo - 8500 12mo - 12000 Shangri-la 1x guest entry - B300 membership: 1mo - 3000 3mo - 20,000 (interesting rate jumps so high from 1mo) 6mo - ? 12mo - 29,000 Anyone confirm these rates?

Shangri-la rates have to be wrong. Why would anyone pay 20,000 up front for a three month membership, instead of paying 3000 per month for three months? I don't like hotel gyms much myself, so I would also check also Harris fitness (gym only so-so, but would expect it to be better than most hotel gyms, even at 5-star places (not that I think Duangtawan is 5-star)) for the off chance that it can be combined, possibly separately, with a membership for the hotel pool that I think is in the same building.

uhhh ohhh Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I think Duangtawan has a 15% discount for today only. Rattilanna rates are 3500 monthly, 6000 for 3 mos, 9000 6 mos and 15000 yearly. Yes, the workout area is a little darker as someone mentioned but nice salt water pool and also includes sauna and wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orang37 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I have enjoyed my membership in the Duangtawan/Centara Hotel 4th. floor fitness center for several years. Place is clean, has an excellent set of fitness machines, free weights, etc. The men's dressing area has ample lockers (bring your own lock), and two saunas, and jacuzzi (not real hot), and steam room. One of the saunas is usually hot enough to really bake you. Staff have always been cordial, and helpful. ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, no! Sorry, I overlooked that minor aspect. :) In which case there's not a lot of choices out this way, Four Season perhaps but the gym is not that great plus it's pricey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was just looking at the Four Season website myself, but as you say I'm sure it's pricey. I'm mostly interested in a resort style gym and pool. Sauna isn't really necessary. If anyone else knows what's the best option coming from Mae Rim please contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
