Hi can anyone recommend a nice hotel in Hua Hin close to the beach?? Nothing flashy just a decent priced one that me, the missus and daughter (3 yrs) can stay. I have looked at the link to the hotels but was just wondering if any one could personally recommend one.

Thanks

The beach is not really suitable for small kids, in fact other than long walk, not good for anyone for what beaches are thought to be for. The water is murky most of the time, stray dogs and hardly anyone uses it for swimming except Thais who come on a day trip from the farms in the back of pickup trucks and have no hotel or swimming pool there.

Most hotels will be on or near the beach but don't count on it. Check what the hotel has to offer in case of rain, storm or unusable beach.

A hotel far from the beach with good pool facilities may turn to be far better holiday experience than one on the sands with no or small pool.

If you want a hotel very close to the beach, then go to Cha-am, not Hua hin, very nice for a small child, and many shops and restaurants at walking distance

Sailom! Reasiable price good food

PP villa near Burger King, has a swimming pool and is no more than a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Right on the beach - great staff, quiet. Right above the King's Palace so the beach is usually very deserted, and cleaner, for the most part. Great pool etc.

Stayed there several times, and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
