Boek dit als You want a reliable, family-proof resort experience right on Beach Road without the chaos of Walking Street.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The 'Super Kid's Club' is legitimately one of the best in Pattaya (kids stay & eat free)
- All rooms in the Bay Tower have ocean-facing balconies
- The Collective smokehouse offers surprisingly good BBQ and wood-fired pizza right on-site
Snel Overzicht: It's a tale of two towers: book the Bay Tower for the views and family vibe, or the Executive Tower if you actually want to sleep before midnight.
Beoordeeld door @bleetary_travels: My stay at Holiday Inn Pattaya was a total vibe. The sunset from my balcony was unreal, and I spent hours just chilling in that infinity pool. If you want luxury without the stiffness, this is the spot. Highly recommend the Ocean View Suite!

Reality check
The breakfast buffet at the Bay Tower is a zoo—expect noise, queues, and aggressive maneuvering for the bacon station.
- You are traveling with children under 12
- You want a guaranteed ocean view (Bay Tower specific)
- You need a reliable workspace and strong Wi-Fi
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Staff are responsive to 'extra towel' requests via the app.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling in renovated rooms. Older reviews cite grout issues, but the 2024 renovation addressed this.
- Maintenance: Excellent in public areas. Some wear and tear on balcony doors in older units.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and plentiful. Pool towels are large and fluffy.
- Odors & scents: Fresh signature IHG scent in the lobby. No lingering smoke smells in non-smoking rooms.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Which tower is better: Bay or Executive?
Bay Tower for families and ocean views (recently renovated). Executive Tower for couples, business travelers, and quiet.
Is the pool crowded?
The main Bay Tower pool gets packed with kids. The Executive Tower infinity pool is much calmer and often adults-only by vibe.
How far is Walking Street?
It's about 2.5km away. You'll need a 10-minute Baht Bus (Songthaew) ride, which costs 10-20 THB.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. If not, it costs around 350-500 THB per person. Bay Tower buffet is huge but busy; Executive Tower is smaller but peaceful.
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden resort fees, but standard 10% service charge and 7% VAT are added to all bills.
Can I walk to Terminal 21?
Yes, it's an easy 7-9 minute walk (approx. 600m) from the hotel entrance.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'ocean view' from the Executive Tower is partial and set back; Bay Tower is the real deal.
💡You can order food from 'The Collective' to the pool bar—the smoked brisket pizza is a sleeper hit.
💡The elevators in the Bay Tower have a logic of their own and can skip floors during peak times.
💡There is a 7-Eleven literally connected to the Executive Tower lobby for late-night snack runs.
💡The 'Family Suites' in the Bay Tower have a dedicated kids' area partitioned off, which is a sanity-saver.
