The Pinnacle Grand Jomtien Resort & Spa is an upper-middle-range option right along a picturesque private beach, around a 20-minute drive from the center of Pattaya. The 345 units are spread across a number of buildings and sit within a lush, sprawling garden dotted with palm trees. Rooms vary from traditional to contemporary, but all come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and furnished balconies and terraces, plus some add direct pool access. Two restaurants serve Thai and seafood dishes, and free buffet breakfasts that receive mixed reviews. Several on-site features consist of four swimming pools, a spa, small gym, and a tennis court. Travelers wanting a location closer to town may like the centrally located Jomtien Palm Beach Hotel & Resort, which has its own bowling alley.
