Pattaya, Thailand, is a couple's vacation paradise – and I highly recommend these three hotels!

For those in Bangkok looking for a convenient and quick trip to the beach, Pattaya and Hua Hin are both excellent vacation destinations. Located to the east and west of Bangkok respectively, both can be reached with just a two-hour drive. As seaside resort cities, Pattaya's beaches are very public and accessible, allowing anyone to easily enjoy the beach, especially when taking a taxi or songthaew to Pattaya Beach Road. On the right, you'll see endless beaches and coconut trees, and on the left, countless bars, restaurants, and hotels. For couples traveling to Pattaya for a vacation, these are the three hotels I recommend the most: 👍 Highly recommended: Renaissance Pattaya Resort & Spa Average price 800-1200 – Located about ten kilometers from the center of Pattaya, the Renaissance Pattaya Resort & Spa is perfect for a seaside vacation! The hotel's design incorporates the local fishing village charm and exudes artistry from the outside in. With the hotel facing the sea, the pool, ocean, and sky blend seamlessly under the blue sky and white clouds; and during sunset, the caramel-colored sunlight creates unforgettable beautiful scenes with the hotel's scenery. In the evening, you can dive into the hotel's stunning infinity pool. This Renaissance features a two-tiered infinity pool that is absolutely amazing! The seaside restaurant and bar are incredibly beautiful! Toasting with the sunset, watching the afterglow, is definitely the ideal vacation state! 👍 Highly recommended: Andaz Pattaya Average price 1500-6000 – As a luxury lifestyle resort under the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, and the first Andaz hotel in Thailand, Andaz Pattaya is located on a charming waterfront surrounded by mature tropical trees and tranquil gardens overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. The unique local style and modern design inspiration come from its history as a private estate. Upon arrival at the hotel, what catches the eye is the stunning tropical rainforest and the shimmering pools. The courtyard, centered around an awe-inspiring ancient tree, and the village square, which is courtyard-focused, is an open space for interaction and relaxation, easily blending into the serene atmosphere. But what I love most are the seaside pool and restaurant – they're incredibly beautiful! 👍 Highly recommended: Pattaya Hilton Hotel Average price 1200-4000 – Located in the city center, the Pattaya Hilton Hotel boasts a rooftop garden and bar with amazing views overlooking Pattaya Beach and the bay. The hotel is situated atop the Central Festival Pattaya Beach complex. The entire design is ocean-themed, using waves as a motif, and features a series of installations that mimic the surge of waves, the beach, and underwater scenery. The intention of these scenic treatments is to connect the architecture, landscape, and sea, creating a paradise on earth. The newly renovated infinity pool at the Pattaya Hilton is even more beautiful! The view is unparalleled!
