Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya

Lovely Stay Overall, Dining Could Be Better

We stay at this hotel at least once a year, and it continues to be one of the best family-friendly hotels. The service is excellent. Check-in and check-out are smooth and efficient. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and comfortable, with cozy beds. The newly renovated rooms are especially impressive — very functional, well-designed, and easy to use. During this stay, I had the chance to try several restaurants. While the pricing is on the higher side (as expected for a five-star hotel), the overall dining experience still has some room for improvement. Coast: Thai dishes were good, but the pastas were disappointing — tasteless with a firmer-than-expected texture. HAGI: I ordered the premium Gindara Teppanyaki. It felt like the fish was simply thawed and placed on the hot plate without much technique. Definitely below expectations for the price. Zulu: Visited during the chocolate hour at 8:30 PM, but there were only two chocolate options available, which felt quite limited. That said, the staff across all restaurants and the Club Lounge were very nice, friendly and attentive. The team at Zulu stood out in particular for their excellent service. The breakfast was fabulous — one of the highlight of the stay. The grilled pork skewers and grilled fish were especially outstanding. The new Kids Club is smaller than before, but it is well designed and good for younger children only. The game room, however, could benefit from more variety, as it currently feels quite limited and not very engaging. The swimming pool and beach area remain the highlight — still the best among family hotels in Pattaya.

Ok but can be improved

Location is on the beach and close taxi ride to the shopping malls. Waterpark, pool & beach facilities were an advantage which the kids loved. Rooms were comfortable and generous in size.

Cons: jar of cigarette butts on the balcony when we arrived you need more bins outside you need life guards....it would have been much more relaxing if you had life guards so that i could ensure my 6 year old was safe in the lazy river
