Book top-rated Resorts in Hua Hin / Cha-am, Thailand

"Sofitel was carefully selected by me, a kind of perfectionist, for my first holiday in Hua Hin with my family (wife and young baby). I have no more words to praise its charming colonial architecture and lush gardens and would like to comment on location, beach, hotel and room facilities. Sofitel is right at the heart of Hua Hin downtown and it can be proved by the presence of McDonalds and Burger King (the only shop in Hua Hin, I think). Hua Hin Railway Station (a famous scene in Hua Hin) and Village Market (the biggest shopping mall) also is just around, as well as the great Mamma Mia Pizza restaurant. Hua Hin beach, the one just in front of Sofitel, is not a good place for swimming(lots of rocks) but it has widest beach ,whitest sand and best view comparing to Cha-Am and Khao Takiap. The sun chair of Sofitel is served not just on beach but inside hotel territory. Your privacy therefore can be protected with exact same sea view. There are three pools in Sofitel, one is particularly for adult (2.6 meters deep) and one is quite kid-friendly. My wife and my baby really like the bed (bedding) in room, Sofitel calls it “MyBed”. It is soft and cozy. The negative things to me are overpriced breakfast and hard/dated towels in bathroom. We enjoyed our stay and will be back. "

"Though we live in Hua Hin we stay here regularly if we're attending an event, this time it was the local Jazz Festival on the beach. The hotel is large, as are the rooms, and whilst it's comfortable the rooms are very tired, with wallpaper peeling off the walls. As we booked at the last moment we booked via Agoda and paid on arrival, I was a little concerned that after my card had been processed and payment authorised, the lady on reception copied my card details onto a peice of paper, I thought the numbers were blocked out for a reason, the security of the account, she was interested in my concerns. Check-out, as always is painfully slow whilst you have to wait whilst they get someone to check your room. The hotel is ok for the odd night, but probably not for an extended stay, though we would certainly stay there again."

"was with my godmum on vacation. excellent service from the staff on enquiries for airport transfer, smooth check-in, great chalet style spacious rooms, very clean, good amenities in room (tv, dvd player, radio, mini bar, hairdryer, free wifi - all trivial but very important!). nice breakfast buffet in my opinion, not too extravagant, excellent breakfast venue with scenic beach. staff are friendly, attentive. very easy to get to the night market. across the street about 5mins walk, lots of massage parlours offering foot reflex and thai massage in clean environment, lots of food outlets from mexican, thai, indian, italian, japanese, korean. spoilt for choices. there's convenience shop too nearby. tuktuk easily available to get you to other places like market village (only decent aircon mall in my opinion). night market was fun. plenty to eat and see and buy. taxi/private cars services available easily too. these also offer day tours. ask around for prices to get the best deal. best to get a good english-speaking driver or else it's just a basic driver's services, and you're left on your own to figure out what you wanna do. there are tour shops across the street too which may be a better option. cha-am itself is about 20-30mins drive away. definitely would choose to stay at baan laksasubha again when i return to hua hin in future. value for money. glad i chose this for my first hua hin visit."

"Stayed here before and visited 2years later, really enjoyed stay again. Resort with everything on site, beach, 2 pools, many restaurants, tennis, gym. There are also few (quiet) bars/restaurants 5mins walk away if you want to eat somewhere else. Location is inbetween cha am and hua hin so can't walk to town, but taxi available for 200/300bht."

"As we were having a weeks vacation with the family, travelling from Phuket to Chiang Mai and back I chose hotels that had the facility of a swimming pool. Unfortunately the Season Palace Hua Hin were having staff problems in keeping their pool clean. (or maybe a filter problem). Either way the pool was absolutely filthy! And that's coming from someone who has had and maintained a pool for over 25 years. The water was not only murky, which can happen, but it was brown murky, which was dirty water. The 3 b't put a toe in water that was that dirty. Sorry, I am aware that it is the low season in Thailand and all hotels are struggling to stay in business, but there really is no excuse for not keeping a pool clean. All it requires is to backflush the filter regularly and add the appropriate amount of chemicals, if not a salt water pool, which this wasn't. We were also unaware that the restaurant was closed in the evening. Which turned out to be a blessing as it forced us to go into Hua Hin to one of the many great restaurants and have a nice dinner and evening. "

"As titled this is a brand new hotel, there isn't a sign from the main street to this hotel. Basically its next to Hua Hin Hospital coming down from Hua Hin Town towards Cha-Am. There's no sign on Phetkasem Rd (note to manager of hotel), you only see it once you turn in to soi 10. Hotel is not on the beach or tourist area, its basically in the middle of the main road between Cha-Am - Hua Hin. So if you want to get to anywhere you better have a rental or other means of transportation. There were only 5-6 rooms occupied when I checked in. So its very nice and quite. You seem to own the whole hotel complex. For The room, the finishing is OK and not really a 4-star. For me its more 3 stars, and as other reviewers the AC is really LOUD and also cannot get up to speed in terms of cooling. So better leave the key on when leaving the room unless you want to come back to a sauna. Swimming pool is small so I did not even bother, but do book a room with the jacuzzi on the terrace. Very nice for a quick dip. Breakfast was not a buffet style, understandable due to the number of guests they are still just opened recently. But with that the cook your own plate of A.B.F which is aplenty and very nice and fresh, the cooking lady even came out to greet us and ask about the food, which to me is a very nice gesture. Recommend this hotel if you are on transit or short stay in Hua Hin and plan to look around town/beach thus not staying much in-room. Not recommended if you want to stay and enjoy hotel facilities and all. "

"We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights at this hotel. The hotel staff was very kind and friendly. The location is very strategic. It is walking distance to Hua Hin Village Mall, bus station and 2-3- minute walk to the beach. 100 meters to 7/11 store. The breakfast was quite ok. The room was clean but a little bit small for 3 of us. You could also hear the noise of people outside. The hotel offers car rental and that’s great if ever you want to go the other spots in Hua Hin. The WiFi was not that strong on the 5th floor where we stayed. I turned it off and used my 4G. Moreover, I will recommend this hotel to my friends and maybe plan to stay here again soon. "

"I booked a flight to Thailand as a birthday present for myself. A Thai friend had a female friend that likes to travel, and I made arrangements with her to spend a week, most of which was in Hua Hin. My friend suggested three hotels in Hua Hin (smart on his part as I can not blame him if the hotel is not as good as I think it should be) and I selected the Anantara. I am very happy that I did. The staff greeting with moist towel fresheners and snakes was a perfect way to start the week. We had an ocean front room (#106) and the view and yet privacy was amazing. The room was nicely sized and the shower/tub perfect. Flower petals adorned the king sized bed with "Happy Birthday" and this was a great mood setting nice touch. I had not told them that this trip was a birthday present and I did not inquire who or what had informed them. We tried to eat in all of the restaurants. Two were our favorites. One was on the main level where the entertainment is featured and the other was the waterfront tables. We recommend the "Aussie Steak". It was tender and tasteful and just what I expect from a steak house back home in California, USA. There is not much to do in Hua Hin and our week long visit was a little long for us. But, for a spot to just relax, this is top notch. "

"Our favorite place to stay in Hua Hin/Cha-am. Peaceful and quiet. Nice garden with plenty of birds, delicious breakfast. Have been staying there for many years; maybe time is coming for some renovations of the rooms and ventilation (in bathroom)."
