U Pattaya Hotel

U Pattaya Hotel is a small beachfront resort of 44 rooms and villas on the Na Jomtien coast, between Na Jomtien and Bang Saray, south of central Pattaya. It is also sold as U Jomtien Pattaya. The resort opened in 2015 and is run under the U Hotels & Resorts brand.

Rooms at U Pattaya Hotel

The resort has 25 rooms and 19 villas, from 32 to 90 sqm, in a rustic fishing village style with wood and bamboo interiors. Every room has a whirlpool or bathtub, and the choice comes down to what you want outside your door.

• Superior Garden View: ground floor, with a whirlpool in a private garden.
• Superior and Deluxe Seaview: second and third floor, with a sea-facing balcony and a whirlpool on it. Deluxe is the third-floor option with the wider view.
• Garden Villa: set among the tropical gardens, with a whirlpool.
• Pool Access Villa: a 15 x 5 m pool shared between two villas.
• Pool Villa: a private pool of around 5 x 3 m, an open-plan living area and a daybed.
• Beachfront Pool Villa: 60 sqm, on the sand, with a private pool of around 8 x 3 m.
• Two Bedroom Pool Villa: 90 sqm, with two en-suite bedrooms, a living and dining room and a private pool.

If a view matters more than a private pool, a Deluxe Seaview room is the sensible middle. If you want to stay in the villa all day, go for a pool villa.

Location and getting there

The resort’s factsheet puts it on Soi Na-Chomtien 56/3, between Jomtien and Bang Saray, about 2 hours’ drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Booking.com gives the centre of Na Jomtien as about 3 miles away and U-Tapao airport as about 9 miles. Walking Street and central Pattaya are a taxi ride north, so this is a place you stay in rather than walk out from. For sand with more going on, Jomtien Beach is the nearest public beach we cover.

Facilities

The beachfront infinity pool faces the sea. Papillon is the beachfront restaurant, serving French bistro style dishes from 6:30 am to 11 pm, and La Vela is a rooftop bar open from 5 pm to midnight. The resort also has a spa, a gym and library with 24-hour access, and free bicycle rental.

Two house rules shape the stay. Under 24-hour use of room you check out at the time you arrived. Under breakfast whenever wherever, you can take breakfast anywhere in the resort until 10 pm.

Who U Pattaya Hotel suits (and who it doesn’t)

It suits couples and anyone who wants a quiet beach and a private pool, and guests praise the staff, the breakfast buffet and the calm. Skip it if you want nightlife on your doorstep, a big resort with kids’ activities, or to do everything on foot.

Insider Tip: The 24-hour room policy only pays off if you arrive at a useful hour. Email the resort a few days ahead with your arrival time and plan a late-afternoon check-in and a late-afternoon check-out the next day.
