Travel Guide: Laguna Beach Resort 2, Chonburi

Nestled along the sun-drenched coast of Jomtien Beach in Chonburi Province, Laguna Beach Resort 2 is a family-friendly, self-catering escape that balances laid-back beach vibes with thoughtful modern amenities. Perfect for week-long getaways or quick tropical breaks, this resort puts you steps from the Gulf of Thailand while keeping you close to Chonburi’s most beloved attractions.

Hotel Overview

Laguna Beach Resort 2 is located at 165 Moo 12 Thanon Thep Prasit, 20150 Jomtien Beach, Thailand, with spacious standalone apartment-style accommodations suited for couples, families, and group trips. Every unit includes a fully functional kitchenette with a stovetop, microwave, fridge, electric kettle, and full kitchenware, letting you prepare casual meals or store beach snacks to cut down on dining costs. All rooms are soundproofed, air-conditioned, non-smoking, and come with free WiFi, a flat-screen TV with pay-per-view channels, a private bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer, and a private balcony or terrace overlooking garden or city views.

The resort boasts two outdoor pools, both open year-round and free for all guests. The second pool features a shallow area for young children, a water slide, and a poolside bar serving cold cocktails and fresh fruit. Additional on-site facilities include a fitness center, sauna and steam room, a small on-site water park, children’s outdoor play areas and game zones, a 24-hour front desk, fast check-in/out, free on-site public parking, and a convenient on-site minimarket. Staff speak both English and Russian for easy communication, and paid airport shuttle service can be arranged to and from U-Tapao or Suvarnabhumi Airports.

Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this location unbeatable. First, Jomtien Beach is just a five-minute walk from the resort: this 6-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand is far less crowded than nearby Pattaya Beach, with calm shallow waters ideal for swimming, casual beach shacks serving fresh grilled seafood, and sunset strolls along the shore. Second, Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, a 20-minute drive from the resort, is a sprawling 500-acre botanical garden famous for its meticulously curated themed gardens, vibrant orchid displays, daily Thai cultural dance and elephant shows, and panoramic hilltop views of the Gulf of Thailand. Third, Pattaya Floating Market, 15 minutes away by car, lets you wander wooden boardwalks between stilted vendors selling handcrafted souvenirs, tropical fruit, and authentic Thai street food, with traditional boat rides through the waterways.

Travel Tips

Book your stay during dry season (November to February) for the most reliable sunny beach and pool weather. If you plan to cook in your kitchenette, stop at the nearby Jomtien Night Market 10 minutes away for fresh produce and cheap ingredients, which is far more affordable than buying snacks at the resort minimarket. The airport shuttle is reasonably priced for groups, but if you’re traveling solo, you can book a Grab car for a similar or lower rate. Pack water shoes for exploring the beach and reefs just off Jomtien, and don’t forget extra sunscreen—you’ll want it for days spent by the pool or on the sand.
