Attractions

Three top local attractions are all easily accessible from the hotel:

• Jomtien Beach: The hotel’s beachfront location puts this 6-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand right at your doorstep. Calmer than Pattaya Beach, it’s perfect for slow sunrise walks, lazy afternoons on a lounger, and casual beachside seafood dinners.
• Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden: Just 15 minutes’ drive from the hotel, this world-famous 500-acre garden boasts sprawling themed landscapes, from French formal gardens to tropical cactus collections, plus daily cultural Thai dance and elephant shows, making it ideal for family day trips.
• Pattaya Floating Market: A 20-minute drive away, this iconic open-air market lets visitors explore wooden vendors’ boats selling fresh tropical fruit, handcrafted souvenirs, and authentic Thai street food, with regular traditional craft demonstrations to experience local culture.

Travel Tips

Golf lovers will appreciate that several top-rated 18-hole courses are within 3 kilometers of the hotel, with paid green fee arrangements available through the tour desk. If you’re traveling during Thailand’s wet season (May to October), pack a light rain jacket and waterproof shoes for afternoon downpours, and book a sea-facing suite to enjoy dramatic ocean storm views from your private balcony. For longer stays, the kitchenette facility lets you save money on meals by picking up fresh seafood and produce from local night markets, and the free daily housekeeping keeps your space tidy without extra effort. Book airport transfers in advance through the hotel for a hassle-free arrival, especially if you’re traveling after dark.
