Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya
Compare prices
Bring the kids or don't bother. This is a resort designed around water: slides, a lazy river, a big pool, and a beach on Naklua Bay just north of central Pattaya. Parents who come back year after year say the layout makes sense, with gardens and a huge wooden structure sitting between the two room towers, so you're never trekking miles to get anywhere. Every room looks out to sea, most also over the gardens and pools, and they come with both a bath and a shower. Housekeeping gets named in reviews by name, which tells you something.
The breakfast buffet is the one meal people rave about, particularly the bakery section and the fruit. Vegetarians and vegans should manage expectations though. Guests have flagged very little without pork, meat or egg in it, and no eggless baking at all. If that's you, plan on eating out some evenings. Six restaurants, bars and a spa cover the rest.
Worth knowing: the Zulu Family Club Lounge upgrade gets consistently strong write-ups for its breakfast, afternoon tea and happy hour, and it's the kind of thing that changes how a stay feels.

My sister and I enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The whole place felt very relaxing, and it was the perfect spot for a stress-free getaway. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our stay, always ready to help and making us feel welcome. The waterpark was absolutely awesome - we had so much fun going down the slides and floating along the lazy river for hours. We also had a lovely experience at the breakfast buffet thanks to Deb, who took care of us. She was very friendly, always smiling, and made us feel genuinely welcome every morning. She was also really helpful, checking on us often, offering refills, and making sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. Little things like that made our mornings in the resort so much better and started our day on a positive note. Highly recommend the breakfast here and truly appreciate her warm and attentive service.
The experience till now for us has been very good, the location is really beautiful and people are really welcoming. The setting and atmosphere is also very kid friendly and fun. One thing we found a tad bit lacking though, was the food variety for vegetarians or vegans. There no options in eggless bakery products and barely any dishes without pork or meat or egg. Everything else but that was very lovely. The staff, like Minny, Nat, Benz and Moei continue to facilitate us and attend to our every wish. Overall, it has been very pleasant and wonderful. Our stay has been very luxurious, the water park, as quoted by the kids is “ awesome” and the view from our room our also breathtaking.
I have stayed here 3 times now with 2 kids 9 and 11 yrs. Rooms are a reasonable size, bath and shower, clean and tidy. Room keeping do a good job in keeping the room in towels etc. Each room has a sea view and a view over tye garden and pools. Staff in general are all very nice and polite. The layout of the hotel is good, it all makes sense with gardens and a huge wooden structure between the 2 towers holding the rooms. Breakfast buffet is pretty good, lots of selection and fruit etc, no complaints. As buffet go, its fine. Indoor and outdoor seating is nice too. Restaurants are alright although we prefer to eat out of the hotel. Hotel is located close to shops and restaurants so no problems there. The hotel itself has a big pool and a paddle pool as well as a "lazy river" pool the stretches in a big circle with slides and waterfalls etc. The kids love it! Floating on rings or using some of the toys you can hire from the guys on site. All reasonably prices. A great way to sit and let the kids go play, or with younger children, fun for parents to join in. There is also a beach and space to swim in the sea and rent jet ski etc. Beach massage and the like. If you are looking for a hotel to come and relax with kids for a few days, then this is a good option.
