About
The Mangrove Hotel is proof that some of Pattaya’s best-value beds sit well outside the centre. It’s a modern, low-rise hotel in Na Jomtien — the calm coastal strip that runs south from Jomtien towards Sattahip — set back around 500 metres from North Na Jomtien Beach. Where central Pattaya hotels sell proximity to the action, the Mangrove sells the opposite: quiet nights, easy parking, and a garden-and-pool bubble to come back to after a day out.
The rooms are the first pleasant surprise. They’re contemporary, spacious and clean, most with a private terrace, and they routinely earn praise for feeling newer and better-finished than the rate suggests. The hotel is also known — and often booked — for its rooftop swimming pool, which looks out over the surrounding low-rise coast towards the sea and is genuinely pleasant at sunrise or sunset. A second outdoor pool sits in the garden below, and there’s a restaurant on site for breakfast and easy meals.
The Na Jomtien trade-off
Being honest about location is essential here, because it’s the single thing that will make or break your stay. Na Jomtien is residential and low-key. That means peace, space and a quieter beach — but also that the nearest cluster of bars, malls and big-name restaurants is a drive away. Central Pattaya and Walking Street are roughly 20–30 minutes by car; the Jomtien beach strip is closer but still not walking distance. If you have a car or a scooter, none of this matters and the hotel becomes a smart, cheap, comfortable base. If you don’t, budget for Grab or Bolt on every trip out and go in with your eyes open.
The other honest caveat is the rooftop pool: the view is the reward, but there’s little shade up there, so at midday it’s hot and exposed. Early morning and late afternoon are the sweet spots.
Who it suits
This is a hotel for travellers who want quiet — couples, families with young children, older visitors, long-stayers and anyone who treats the beach and the pool as the point of the trip rather than the nightlife. It’s less suited to first-timers who want to walk out of the lobby into the thick of Pattaya. Reviewers who chose it deliberately for the calm tend to love it; the occasional disappointed guest is usually someone who underestimated the distance to town.

Good to know
Why stay: modern rooms, two pools including a rooftop with sea views, friendly service and a genuinely quiet setting — all for budget-to-midrange money. It rates well precisely because guests get more than they pay for.
Know before you book: you’re in Na Jomtien, not the city, so plan for a car or regular Grab trips; the rooftop pool bakes at midday; and the surrounding streets are residential with limited walkable dining. Confirm the current rate and exact room type when you book, as prices move with the season.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
The Mangrove Hotel (also listed as Mangrove Prestige Hotel) is a modern low-rise hotel in Na Jomtien, the quiet coastal strip south of Jomtien proper, about 500 metres back from North Na Jomtien Beach. It's the kind of place that surprises people with how much you get for the money: clean, spacious, contemporary rooms with private terraces, a good breakfast, an outdoor pool in a garden and — the signature feature — a rooftop swimming pool with sea views that are lovely first thing in the morning or at sunset. Reviewers consistently praise the value, the friendly staff and the calm, and it holds a strong score across the booking sites (Booking.com around 8.6, Tripadvisor four of five). The trade-off is the one that comes with almost every Na Jomtien property: you are well away from the buzz of central Pattaya, so without a car or scooter you'll be leaning on Grab for every trip out. For travellers who actively want quiet — couples, families, anyone chasing a relaxed base near a peaceful beach rather than nightlife on the doorstep — that's a feature, not a bug. Rates typically start from roughly 850–1,200 baht depending on season and room, which is why it reads as a genuine budget-to-midrange bargain.
Consider it for
- Travellers who want a quiet, modern, well-priced base near a calm stretch of beach
- Couples and families happy to use a car or Grab for trips into Pattaya
- Anyone drawn by a rooftop sea-view pool without a resort price tag

Frequently asked questions
Where is The Mangrove Hotel and how far is the beach?
It's in Na Jomtien, down Soi Na Jomtien 14 (Thannamchai) off Sukhumvit Road, in the quiet coastal belt south of Jomtien. North Na Jomtien Beach is roughly a 500-metre walk. Central Pattaya and Walking Street are around 20–30 minutes away by car.
Does The Mangrove Hotel have a rooftop pool?
Yes — its standout feature is a rooftop swimming pool with sea views, best enjoyed in the morning or at sunset. There's also a second outdoor pool in the garden. Note the rooftop has little shade, so it gets very hot around midday.
Is The Mangrove Hotel good value?
It's one of the better-value modern hotels in the area. Rates typically start from around 850–1,200 baht depending on season and room type, for clean, spacious contemporary rooms — reviewers repeatedly single out the price-to-quality ratio.
Do I need a car to stay at The Mangrove Hotel?
It helps a lot. Na Jomtien is spread out and quiet, so without your own car or scooter you'll depend on Grab or Bolt for trips to restaurants, beaches further north and Pattaya's nightlife. If you want to walk to bars and shops, a more central hotel suits better.
Is it the same as Mangrove Prestige Hotel?
Yes — the property is listed under both 'The Mangrove Hotel' and 'Mangrove Prestige Hotel' across different booking sites. It's the same hotel in Na Jomtien; just check the address (Soi Na Jomtien 14) matches when you book.
