Royal Cliff Beach Resort is a luxury five star hotel situated between Jomtien and South Pattaya. The Resort occupies a 64–acre parkland overlooking the Gulf of Siam, along the East Coast of Thailand. The building of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort was inspired by the natural beauty of the bay itself. (if quote by architect: reference) The resort is well known for its frequent renovations, high level of attention to detail and outstanding service. (delete, unless it is much better than other hotels of its class in which case you need to put a a reference for this claim) The hotel has won numerous awards and has recently been elevated to the TTG Travel Hall of fame

History
From modest beginnings with the 106 room at the Royal Cliff Beach Terrace in 1973, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort has demonstrated tremendous growth in the years since. (vague statement) A year after opening of the first hotel, the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel came into existence. For the next twelve years, the 2 hotels established a worldwide reputation as the place to stay in Asia and so the Royal Cliff legend was born. 1986 saw the opening of the Royal Wing Suite & Spa by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, the resort’s premium product, where guests are treated with highly-personalised service and hospitality. (POV) In 1992 the resort completed its final hotel, The Royal Cliff Grand Hotel & Spa; this architectural masterpiece has always attracted the most sophisticated of travelers, with its large suites and breathtaking views. (advertising) TripAdvisor once ranked the Royal Cliff Grand Hotel & Spa as the number one place to stay in Pattaya.

Late in 1999, a major addition was made to the resort’s already extensive (POV) range of meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition facilities. This was the multipurpose stand–alone meeting venue, The Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH), with rooms to cater for over 8,000 delegates. As one of Thailand’s newest and most state–of–the–art venues, PEACH is ideal (POV) for numerous types of events; from conventions to exhibitions or product launches to gala banquets.

Not content with providing happy holiday memories (ad) for thousands of guests, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort has also been the setting for some of the most important (POV, you might state specific events though) meetings in the region, and various (vague. which years?) ASEAN conferences have been held successfully over the years. In 1991, the resort played host to the Cambodian Peace talks and in 1997, the hotel was the venue for the drafting of the new Thai constitution. The Royal Cliff Beach Resort’s reputation as a world-class venue for meetings and conventions was acknowledged once again this year, (who concluded this, the hotel management? delete phrase) when it hosted the APEC tourism, attended by senior tourism officials from 21 member countries.

The Phra Aphai Mani Logo
The concept of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort is to provide guests with the most soothing and relaxing stay. That tradition is strictly adhered to today and it is precisely for this reason that Phra Aphai Mani was chosen as the symbol of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort. Created by the legendary poet Sunthorn Phu, Phra Aphai Mani and his magic flute is much read by students of Thai literature. As the story goes, Phra Aphai Mani plays the most extraordinarily soothing music on his flute that charms and puts to blissful sleep anyone who listens to it. It is this magic flute and its music which has served Phra Aphai Mani and his friends during dangerous encounters with monsters of the deep. Such is the strength of Phra Aphai Mani that a bronze statue of the fabled hero stands guard at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort to protect visitors. The statue is the resort’s promise of a soothing and truly unforgettable stay.
