Fodor's Expert Review InterContinental Pattaya Resort

Located on a green, forested headland overlooking Koh Lan, this is one of Pattaya's most enticing properties. It offers a paradisiacal village of newly renovated rooms, private cabanas, and shade-providing palm trees. Other highlights include a private sandy beach and inviting lagoon pools. Views of the water frame the resort, but what really sets it apart is its relatively intimate size and peerless degree of personal service.
