Fodor's Expert Review Royal Cliff
353 Phra Tamnak Rd., Pattaya, Chonburi, 20150, Thailand
High on a bluff about 1½ km (1 mile) south of town, this four-hotel ensemble, a Thai institution, is known far and wide for its gulf views, setting, and staggering size. Even the standard rooms are well furnished, and most have ocean-view terraces (request one ahead of time). Some suites have two bedrooms, making them good for families. The beach is nice, too, but it's a hike down some stairs. The 11 on-site restaurants prepare a range of cuisines. Rossi, a recent addition, serves high-quality Italian food at affordable prices.
PROS
- attractive Thai decor
- beautiful views
- several picturesque pools
CONS
- tricky to get to beach
