Hello...

Want to spend a few days at a resort and my friend has a couple of children in the two to four year old range. Anyone with recent experience at a kid friend resort in the heart of sin city and thereabouts. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

If you have the money, the Centara in Naklua is fantastic. You and your kids will have a wonderful time.

Jomtien Beach Hotel, has its own pool and is Kid Friendly. Don't mix it up with Jomtien Beach Resort, that's a bloody awfull place.

Sunset Village in Jomtien, near Nong Nuch Gardens.

Oscars Restaurant, Pool & Sports Bar on the Soi Siam Country Club Road opposite soi 5, nice pool and friendly restaurant.

The Thai Garden Resort is one I like on North Rd, I like it because it is easy to get to, arrive from North you can come from Naklua way, to exit, down North Rd a bit and off to Suk.

The pool is large and so are the rooms.

The Woodlands Resort Naklua rd near the Dusit Thani and dolphin roundabout. It has three swimming pools set in a garden atmosphere. I have been staying there for many years. It was built as a family resort. It costs around B2000+/night and you can have a family room which interconnects. King Carl Gustav stays there as he is a friend of the owner, as I am. There is a French Restaurant and coffee shop/pattisery at the front of the hotel which is very popular.

Good question. Not been to Pattaya in six years, but my youngest has never seen the sea. Will follow this post and check out recommended hotels.

I stay at the Sabai Lodge Soi 2 they have ajoining rooms, 3 pools, great with kids, Big C up the road, on the Baht bus route. The staff are great with the kids, not far to the beach (although I hate the beach), secure parking etc I think I paid 985Baht per room last month, check with their website or any search engine.

Hope this helps

Baan Pictory Resort is perfect for you in terms of a great and safe place for your family. It's about a 10 minute drive or so out of Pattaya towards Sattahip. Love that place.

Hard rock. They also have kids suites with bunk beds and xbox's

Would concur with the Hard Rock hotel. By far the best kid's focused hotel I have stayed at in Pattaya. I experienced the suites a couple of years ago, they were excellent and came with club lounge benefits. I was lucky enough to stay at a bargain rate but normally they do not come cheap.

Have also stayed in a standard room at a later date which was just fine.

Have a look at Hotels on Agoda and make sure you select the box that is family/child friendly. Read reviews as well.

Hi there, why don't you opt for a private pool villa instead? I have approximately 100 properties for rental, all around Jomtien Beach, Pratumnak Hill and Central Pattaya. I can organise a baby-sitter service too, for you in your own villa.

Just an idea...If interested, please email me at: [email protected] and you can check out my properties at www.tvillas.com

Have a good day.

Get to the pool early before and 1,000 Russians, who come in off the street hog the pool chairs

why bring children to the worlds biggest brothel.

The Pinnacle Grand Resort & Spa is not located in the 'heart of sin city' (actually, it's a bit far from it) and is not 'girl friendly' (as they apply an 'occupancy surcharge' for each unregistered guest), but it's a very nice and family friendly place in Jomtien with its own private beach and many other facilities.

You may easily get great discounted rates for this resort by booking online via any of the best known hotel reservation websites.

well its not like they're gonna be sitting on a bar stool on walking st at 11pm at night.

Thank you everyone for your replies! The Centara is a great possibility, even with the Russians swarming in off the streets. We would still entertain any other suggestions and will be investigating all of them. Heard the Royal Cliff was pretty good as well. Thanks you all!!!
