Royal Cliff Hotels Group

The Royal Cliff Hotels Group occupies 64 acres of parkland between Jomtien and South Pattaya, overlooking the eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand. It consists of four five-star hotels and a convention centre, the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall. The group was established in 1973.

The cliffside hotel

Not every hotel in the group is a cliff property. The one that fits the category is the Royal Cliff Beach Terrace, a low-rise resort nestled into the cliffside with 89 suites that open onto the beach. The other hotels on the estate are the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel, the Royal Cliff Grand Hotel and Royal Wing Suites & Spa, each with its own character: the Beach Hotel is billed as casual luxury and the Grand Hotel as formal luxury.

Pools and beaches

An infinity pool with ocean views is a feature of the resort, and guests have access to two private beaches.

Booking and getting around

Booking direct brings a best-price guarantee, a 10 per cent discount at the group’s restaurants and on spa treatments, late check-out subject to availability, and a free shared shuttle to the city centre.

Choosing where to sleep

Because the group spans four hotels, specify the Beach Terrace if the cliffside, beach-level suites are what you want. Ask the group which hotel suits your party, since the style differs between them. The estate also has the convention centre, which means group events can be held on site, so check the calendar if you want a quiet week.
