The pool at night at Pattaya Marriott

The 5 star Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa is a peaceful oasis in the center of this noisy, hedonistic city and will appeal to many different guests, from couples to families to business travelers, due to its great range of facilities and services and its excellent central location.

Located in the center of Pattaya, shops, restaurants and nightlife are only steps away but then so is the beach! Guests can dine out or make use of the Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa restaurants and bars. The 296 guest rooms and suites are modern and come with all the facilities you would expect from a 5 star hotel that’s part of the world-renowned Marriott chain.

The large outdoor swimming pool is at the center of the hotel and provides a calm oasis, and is one of the main attractions of the hotel. The pool is large and gets quite deep at one end, in fact it is the deepest pool that I have seen at any hotel in Thailand. Being a Marriott of course the pool is surrounded by tropical gardens, providing plenty of shade for the many sun lounge chairs, where you can relax and also enjoy some drinks and food from the nearby “Manao” poolside bar, open from 6 am to 11 pm. Other recreational facilities include a fitness center featuring an aerobics studio with sprung floor, spa, and 2 floodlit tennis courts.

With Pattaya and it’s multitude of go-go bars being a magnet for a lot of men from all around the world, I think it’s not unreasonable to discuss whether or not a hotel in this area has a joiner fee. While the Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa is decidedly NOT on the list of Pattaya girl friendly hotels, the 25 Terrace Suites located around the garden at the back of the hotel near the pool, are accessible from Beach Road via a small unobtrusive gateway manned by a security guard. This entrance bypasses the scrutiny of the lobby and allows you to go directly to your room in privacy.

Very close by guests can enjoy an 18 hole golf course and many other activities, plus of course make the most of the lively atmosphere in Pattaya. For business travelers there are 8 different size meeting rooms culminating in the ballroom that can seat 300 people and would make the ideal venue for any special occasion.
