Travel Tips

Book a sea-view room for the best experience – the sunrise over the Gulf of Thailand is well worth the small upgrade. Don’t skip the hotel’s highly rated breakfast; the spread of Thai and Western dishes is the perfect start to a day of exploring. If you’re traveling during peak season (November to February), book the kids’ club and any cooking classes in advance to secure your spot. Grab a free pool towel from the hotel before walking the five minutes to Pattaya Beach for a day of sun and swimming. For day trips to nearby islands, the hotel’s tour desk can arrange affordable, reliable transfers, saving you the hassle of haggling with street vendors.
