Attractions

Three standout local attractions are just a short drive from the hotel:

• Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden: A 15-minute drive north, this world-famous 500-acre garden features sprawling themed landscapes, from ornate French formal gardens to tropical palm collections, plus traditional Thai cultural shows and elephant rides. It’s perfect for a day of sightseeing and family-friendly activities.
• Sattahip Naval Base Beach: A 20-minute drive south, this quiet, unspoiled public beach offers soft golden sand and calm, clear waters, far less crowded than central Pattaya’s shores. Local street food stalls nearby serve fresh grilled seafood at budget-friendly prices.
• Cartoon Network Amazone Waterpark: A 10-minute drive from the hotel, this cartoon-themed waterpark is a hit with families, featuring dozens of slides, wave pools, and character meet-and-greets for kids of all ages.

Travel Tips

Book a sea-view room in advance to secure the best waterfront vistas, especially during peak season (November to February). Take advantage of the hotel’s free airport shuttle to avoid overpriced taxi fares from U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport, which is just a 40-minute drive away. While the hotel’s own beach access is convenient, note that use of beach loungers and the on-site beach area incurs a small extra fee. If you plan to explore the region, rent a car directly through the hotel for discounted rates, or book a day trip through the concierge to skip the hassle of arranging transport independently.
