Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
During my stay at Centara Life Maris Resort Jomtien, I found it to be a great value-for-money getaway, especially for families looking to enjoy spacious grounds and resort-style relaxation. While it had its highs and lows, it was an overall pleasant experience.
🏰 First Impressions Walking into the grand lobby, I was immediately struck by its upscale, five-star feel. The high ceilings, elegant decor, and welcoming atmosphere set the stage for what I hoped would be a memorable stay.
🛏️ The Room: Spacious but Dated The room was large and comfortable, with a private balcony that was a nice touch. However, the decor felt a bit outdated, and cleanliness could have been better—nothing major, but small details like dust in corners and worn-out furnishings were noticeable. One big downside? The lack of proper toiletries. No toothbrush, no toothpaste, and just a single soap dispenser for both body wash and shampoo. If you're planning a stay, bring your own essentials!
🍽️ Breakfast: A Highlight! The breakfast buffet was one of the best parts of the stay. There were plenty of options catering to both Chinese and Western tastes, with everything from fresh pastries and eggs to traditional Asian dishes. It was a great way to start the day!
🌴 Resort & Facilities One of the biggest wins of this resort is its beautiful outdoor area. The pools are stunning, surrounded by lush greenery, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Families with kids will love the spacious grounds and fun pool areas. However, the jacuzzi was temporarily closed during my stay, which was a bit of a letdown.
📍 Location: A Bit Isolated One of the biggest drawbacks of this hotel is its remote location. There’s nothing within walking distance—not even a 7-Eleven, which is about 1.5 km away. If you don’t have a car, getting around can be a hassle, especially in Pattaya’s hot weather. The complimentary beach shuttle is helpful, but for convenience, I’d recommend having your own transportation.
✅ What I Loved ✔ Grand, luxurious-feeling lobby that makes a great first impression. ✔ Fantastic breakfast spread with plenty of variety. ✔ Beautiful pool areas and well-maintained outdoor spaces. ✔ Good value for money, especially for families.
🤔 Room for Improvement * 🛏️ Rooms could use a refresh—cleaner, more modern decor would elevate the experience. * 🧴 Better toiletries—at least provide separate shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. * 📍 Location is far from everything, making it less convenient for those without a car. * 🛁 Some facilities (like the jacuzzi) were unavailable, which was disappointing.
🌟 Final Thoughts Overall, Centara Life Maris Resort Jomtien is a solid budget-friendly choice, especially for families who want a resort-style stay with great pools and a fantastic breakfast. However, if you’re looking for a hotel with easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions, you may want to consider transportation options before booking. Would I stay again? Maybe—with a car and my own toiletries packed! 🚗✨

Overall good, but arranging extra beds is very slow. Until 5 p.m. Strong, tooth-colored towels, have to wait a long time But after that, buying dinner to eat with the family is worth it. There is a variety of food, clean rooms, quiet, comfortable, large swimming pool. Suitable for kitchen activities

Overall I really liked the hotel, a little shabby in places, but not critical. Cool green area, beautiful pool, very tasty breakfast. The paid food is also tasty, but much more expensive than on the street.
The only negative of the hotel is its location. There is nothing near the hotel. To get to 7/11 you have to walk along the road or through a field and it takes 7-10 minutes. To get to the sea you have to go around through the courtyards, as there is no direct exit (although there is a place where you could remove the bushes and make a passage, which would not be a direct exit, but would shorten it considerably), this path takes about 10 minutes at a brisk pace.
To summarize, the location of the hotel did not spoil the holiday, because in Pattaya there are cheap taxis (bolt app), and tuks are constantly running at the exit to the sea. There is also a free tuk service from the reception to Jomtien central beach once an hour. For Tai, the standard of the hotel is quite high, but due to the location you will have to walk a lot or take a taxi)

We are currently relaxing at the Centara by central Maris 4* hotel (October 2023 - November 2023). I DO NOT recommend this hotel to anyone: 1. Cleanliness and cleaning are average (white towels are grey, cleaning may not be done every day, the toilet smells like sanitation, dirty areas remain after cleaning, water stains in the bathroom are not removed). Even in the spa, where the beauty is in the corridors, the toilets are dirty and smelly. 2. The equipment of the room is average (the furniture is a little tired, hygiene supplies are only gel shampoo, caps, soap, toilet paper, there are no shelves in the closets) 3. The location is very very bad (near the beach, a tuk-tuk stop, a grocery store, even a floating market, a chocolate factory, but it is NOT possible to get there on foot, you need to walk along the road for 20-30 minutes, where cars drive, and there are crushed snakes on the roads) . All the time you need to take a taxi, or take a free shuttle to the beach once an hour until 20-00, and then take a tuk-tuk. Even to a more or less clean beach, first by shuttle, then by tuk-tuk. There is no free shuttle to the center. There is nothing around the hotel, a wasteland, you can only walk around in the evening by taxi. We took this hotel despite the fact that it cost a little more, because... 4*, because Central hotel chain, etc. We were on holiday with our parents and children, we wanted it to be quiet, beautiful and delicious. Calm down - yes! That's all! 3* hotel. Breakfast includes chicken and pork, but it's not worth paying extra for this. Beauty is a 3. I recommend! Take hotels a little further from this one with their own beach, or closer to the center in the Jomten area. In the Jomtien area there is a good beach and there are places to walk and tuk-tuk stops. Save on the cost of a hotel, on a taxi, and most importantly, the time spent on moving!

The family king suite room is very spacious. Here, from about 10:00 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m., the wind on the balcony is quite good. It is a shady resort. Clap your hands for the people who take care of the garden. The Jacuzzi at the swimming pool is powerful enough to massage your body. The strength of the water at the children's zone is a bit strong. In the evening the water is a bit cloudy because there are many people and guests use the service almost all day. Breakfast here is considered quite a lot. Topped with noodles, chicken, fish, oily vegetables, salads, and ginger soy sauce. Pumpkin soup tastes quite good. The bakery tastes a bit ordinary. The staff is always walking around collecting dishes (sometimes they can't understand how to be active all the time). The body is sometimes tired. I saw someone break a glass and he looked sad. Some people pick up dropped cutlery. Ask the guest/leader to understand. If there will be some sound)

Nong C provides very good service, paying attention to customers, always refilling water and collecting dishes. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is very good, the food is delicious, and there are photo corners for easy travel. Clean food, good taste You can take your pets with you. There is a zone where you can take your dog to sit and play. There is a swimming pool and you can order drinks to drink in the water.

The family suite is very nice. Buffet is great, both breakfast and dinner had tons of choice and very well priced, not mentioning kids eats for free. Pool is very nice and has a swimming bar, happy hour etc.., perfect. Great staff all round. I even got an early check out as well a late check out with no issues at all. In fact I am a member of the Centara the one card, but it is totally pointless because you get a much better rate with Booking.com and still can enjoy the perks.
The Cons :
The first room we were given had a terrible smell of sewage, we had to move room. It seems the hotel has a serious issue with their drains system. The kids club also stank and despite their attempt to cover the stench with automatic perfume diffusers, it just stank, and was not safe for kids to breath in that smelly gas. They also use these perfume diffusors in the lobby, which stink the air really. The second room had no hot water and was not fixed after I reported it. Not very good maintenance staff. Only two Jacuzzi's were working, the other ones were simply off. The restaurant toilets were dirty, shame because the restaurant itself is nice.
Nothing to do with the hotel, but the area it is in, is totally polluted by garbage. The forest nearby resemble like a plane crash, trash absolutely everywhere.....the Thai's obviously do not care about their environment. Same story all other Thailand. However, the tourism office should be doing something about this. It is not nice to experience that when you arrive and leave the hotel.

I thought I'd write a review of this hotel. It's very nice. The rooms are clean and the food at the restaurant has a variety of interesting things. But I am a person who likes to play in the water in the morning. Around nine o'clock in the morning I like the pool attendant. Sometimes I see him in the hotel restaurant and he seems attentive to me. play with me I was there for 4 days and he told me that he was an intern at the hotel. I saw his name tag said "Yang". I thought he was half Chinese. But he's a real Thai person. Every morning when I go swimming, she always prepares a towel for me without me having to tell her anything. The first day we met her She is a person who smiles at everyone. As you can see when she receives customers, I only see her in the morning. Before I return to my country I thought I'd bring her the cookies I trained to make, but she wasn't there. But I met this friend of yours. As far as I can remember, the name "Gift" didn't talk to her much, but as far as I could see, Be a polite person with customers and smile to customers I think I like the staff. These two people, I like the way they smile and recommend places to visit in Pattaya for me. I don't remember if the two people named Yang and Gift worked at the restaurant. But I'm sure I like the cute staff.And even there, it won't be next to the sea. But it's close to the sea. I like it. Overall, it's considered very good. I came to review because I really like these two employees.

Overall, I was impressed by this stay, the accommodations were comfortable, fully equipped, the staff were friendly and very courteous. Breakfast was varied and delicious, as well as dinner in a delicious room. The rooms were equipped, but the TVs were a little smaller and older. The hotel provided cards for power sockets and air in the room, apart from key cards, but the air in the room would take a bit of time. The air in the room would be cold, the size of the air left open and left to eat rice was not too cold. It was late in the evening, and the rooms were not very sound-proof outside, our rooms were on the 1st floor of the elevator, so when people were waiting in front of the elevator, the conversation sounded in the room.

Hotel is quite far from everything a scooter is essential if staying here.
Check in was painful as arrived at hotel at 8.30am after having an overnight flight and been travelling for more than 18 hours. To be told that I had to wait until 3pm for a room after I moaned got in about 10am.
The room was comfortable and air con worked well.
Very child friendly with a few water features to keep little ones amused.
There are animals all over the place so if you have any pet allergies might be worth staying somewhere else. I am very allergic to dogs and I did not have any issues ,so maybe they use particular rooms for people with pets. There was people taking photos of dogs on sun beds and chairs. Great if I want to no lie on one, but the have plenty of places to sit in pool.which animals have not been on.
Breakfast was very poor for the price. Can eat out in town for half price for much better quality food and the tea was in a coffee pot and was so weak or cold.
The staff apart from check in where polite and welcoming.
Pool was nice and not very busy.
This is a very family hotel and have to sign a form at check in saying that you will not bring any non hotel guests back at night. It was not a problem for us. But might be for some people.
Would I stay here again no.

Yes, the area is very safe, no worries there. The hotel have free shuttlebus from hotel every hour to Pattaya. It is hard to find taxi around the hotel, may be able to ask reception to call one for you. Be prepared to pay around 150-200 Baht for taxi or uber to Pattaya. Around the hotel there is really nothing to see apart for a few thai bush style restaurants and it is not easy to walk to the beach from the hotel. We eat at the hotel restaurant which i would recommend, not that expensive and really nice food. Keep in mind this is a family resort, if you want the bachelor life and girls i would not recommend it.

Hotel location is nearby Jomtien beach just a short walking distance and surrounded by local restaurants and bar, to go walking street night market also taking local taxi for 15-20 minutes away.
There are more places to choose from in the Pattaya area.
