Travel Guide: Marine Beach Hotel Pattaya - SHA Plus, Jomtien Beach

Introduction

Tucked away on the quiet, sun-drenched southern stretch of Pattaya’s coastline, Jomtien Beach is a beloved escape for travelers seeking a slower pace than bustling central Pattaya. At the heart of this laid-back beachfront sits Marine Beach Hotel Pattaya - SHA Plus, a mid-sized property perfectly positioned for lazy beach days and easy exploration of Chonburi’s coast. Certified SHA Plus for Thai health and safety standards, this hotel balances affordability, comfort, and unbeatable access to sand and sea, making it ideal for couples, families, and solo travelers alike.

Hotel Overview

Marine Beach Hotel Pattaya is located at 131/62 Moo 12, Jomtien Beach Road, Nongprue, Banglamung, Chonburi 20150, right on Jomtien’s golden waterfront. Step off your private balcony (a standard feature in most rooms) to ocean or garden views, then enjoy a host of thoughtful amenities designed for a stress-free stay. All rooms are air-conditioned, non-smoking, and equipped with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen cable TV, an electric kettle, and a private en-suite bathroom stocked with toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, and a hairdryer. Family rooms are available for groups traveling with kids.

The property’s star feature is its year-round outdoor saltwater pool, complete with a poolside bar, sun loungers, and a separate children’s pool. Direct beach access lets you walk straight from the garden to the sand, where you can claim a complimentary beach chair under a shaded umbrella. On-site, you’ll find a full restaurant serving a well-regarded breakfast, a lobby bar, 24-hour front desk service, concierge support, free private parking with valet, and daily housekeeping. English and Thai are spoken by staff, and safety features include 24-hour security, keycard access, and in-room safes.

Local Attractions

Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, Jomtien Beach itself is the main draw. Wide, clean, and far less crowded than Pattaya Beach, it’s perfect for early-morning walks, gentle swimming, or parasailing and jet skiing from nearby vendors.

A 15-minute drive north brings you to Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, one of Thailand’s most visited botanical attractions. Wander sprawling themed gardens, watch traditional Thai dance and elephant shows, and explore the impressive orchid and cactus collections.

For a day of family fun, Ramayana Water Park is a 20-minute drive from the hotel. One of Southeast Asia’s largest water parks, it features over 50 slides, lazy rivers, wave pools, and dedicated play areas for young kids, set among lush tropical greenery.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure ocean-view rooms, which sell out quickly. If you’re traveling with kids, ask about the affordable on-site children’s buffet when you check in. The hotel charges a small fee for beach access, so factor that into your daily budget. Rent a motorbike from the front desk for around 200 baht a day to explore local street food stalls and nearby attractions easily, or grab a shared songthaew from the main road for a cheap ride into central Pattaya. Don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen for days spent by the pool and on the beach, and take advantage of the hotel’s free daily housekeeping to keep your room cool and tidy during your stay.
