Garden Cliff Resort and Spa

This is a lovely hotel with good value. I paid about $75 US/night which I believed is a acceptional value, The location is a bit out of the way. It cost $150 balt/ (US$4)per way if you call a taxi which is a typical pickup truck equiped with a canopy at the back, the ride is usually bumpy but fun. They have 3 shuttle bus going out of the hotel daily. 10am 3pm and 8 pm. They accommadated us in a room with a nice ocean view, king size bed, a good size bath room equiped with both shower room and bath. free complimentry breakfast which... more

Having returned a few days ago from this resort I felt compelled to write a review...My husband and I booked this trip to Thailand for some rest & relaxation; this hotel provided both of those in barrel fulls! This hotel IS 5*…the service, rooms and facilities were fantastic. We booked a Junior suite and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in with a view of the sea from the window. We had a buffet breakfast everyday and a buffet dinner was available for 450baht per person. There is a mixture of foods from different... more

The property is a little away from the main walking street and the pattaya beach (about ten min by cab) costs about 150 baht for one way. we were 10 of us ages ranging from 5 to 65 all had a wonderful time. the check in was smooth the staff very friendly. Excellent rooms we loved the standard rooms but took the suite facing the sea with a lovely terrace though priced a little expensive compared to the standard rooms but worth the extra cost. The buffet has a big spread excellent quality of food. ( the pizza are amazing) the kids loved it.... more

Living in Pattaya at the time, we thought we would treat ourselves to a weekend 'away'. The Garden Cliff resort was a newly opened hotel with some parts still under construction. The staff are very welcoming in typical Thai style and the little added extras make the difference. We visit the restaurant regularly (even when not staying there) and the buffet breakfast is our favourite. There's everything imaginable for a very reasonable price. The room standard is high. The hotel is located out of the main strip in Pattaya, which is great... more

From the moment I arrived at this hotel, right through until I leaved, I received 5 star service, fantastic food and smiles from all the staff members. I loved everything about this hotel! 1. The pool was great and had lovely views out to the ocean 2. My room was the nicest room I had ever stayed in! 3. There was a private beach that you could swim at 4. Buffet breakfast was great! 5. All the staff were SO helpful and friendly! 6. Very modern hotel so everything you need is there 7. Fantastic gym<br... more

We stayed at the hotel in November 2006, paying what seemed to be a reasonable rate via a hotel internet booking page. 1) At that time, the hotel was reachable only through a terrible road, which was barely accessible, and were extensive works were being done 2) hotel was packed with russian and korean tour groups, and not the "better" kind...also, they pay a fraction of the price per nite that you will even via the most discounted website 3) only one resturant was open, the second one was... more

I booked for 4 days and loved it. Arrival at night , this place loloks fantastic all lit up, expecially the fountain and the pool. I paifd about £50 a night which is in the region of the Hardrock and Mercure. I then visited these hotels and others and made the pledge to stay at my hotel for another 10 days It is very clean, the staff are helpful - yes there ae coachloads of Koreans and Russians but this is a popular resort and on some days it is pretty empty. You will get taxis (200 baht max) in to town easily as thye are... more

My family is staying at the Garden Cliff Resort and Spa which is one of those managed by Sofitel. We were recommended by a friend of mine who adored this hotel. Although we first planned to book another new 5* in Pattaya, we are more than happy to switch to this latter choice. The price is extraordinarily reasonable, compared with other compatible standard hotels in the area at the present time (the hotel was reportedly just opened for a little while). At approximately $100, we get a junior suite providing a great panorama ocean view, and... more

I went there in April with my boyfriend and another couple, this place was so fabulous! First of all, check-in was very efficient, it was done in less than 3 minutes. The swimming pool, although it was not huge, but the design of it was amazing, you will have a feeling of swimming out into the ocean while you are swimming just in the pool (see picture). Rooms were luxurious, nice amenties, spacious bathroom, and there is a window allowing you to see the bedroom (maybe designed for ppl who loves to watch tv while bathing...?). Food in the... more

We stayed at the Garden Cliff as part of a vacation tour package to Thailand in March 2006. What an amazing place. The resort was just recently constructed and is probably one the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. The only other hotel I've stayed at that even compares to the Garden Cliff in terms of amenities and luxury is the Intercontinental Resort (Moana Beach) in Bora Bora. Without a doubt, this hotel is a a solid 5 star resort (by US standards). The buffet breakfast they serve was superb with both standard Western items as well as... more
