Travel Tips

Book your stay with breakfast included to take advantage of the resort’s highly-rated morning spread. If you’re traveling with kids, request a ground-floor villa for direct pool access, and confirm any off-site activity bookings through the resort’s concierge for better rates and guaranteed transport. The resort is a 45-minute drive from U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport; arrange the resort’s paid airport transfer for a hassle-free arrival, or use the free on-site parking if you rent a car to explore the province. For guests with allergies, request an anti-allergy room at the time of booking to ensure a comfortable stay.
