Why we recommend it
Close enough to walk to Terminal 21, far enough up the Naklua headland that the resort itself stays peaceful.
Our review
The location does something unusual for Pattaya: it puts you in reach of the city without putting the city in your room. Sea-facing rooms across most of the building, a generous breakfast, and reception staff who are consistently singled out. It is not the newest property on this coast and a few corners show it, but the balance of position, calm and price is hard to beat. Walk to Terminal 21 in the daytime, take a car back after dark.
Highlights
- Walking distance to Terminal 21
- Quiet Naklua end of the bay
- Large breakfast spread
- Sea-facing rooms across most of the building

Beach clubs in Pattaya: what they actually are
Genuine Pattaya beach clubs are day-use lounging venues with a fee or minimum spend, distinct from hotel pools and beachfront restaurants, and concentrated on Jomtien and Pratumnak rather than central Pattaya.
