Hua Hin Hotels

[bkkgooner]

Looking for a spot to treat the wife - 5k - 7k a night max for a romantic couple of nights away

Tripadvisor has my head spinning and it seems very difficult to get a reservation at the Centara on the dates that I fancy, what would people recommend?

I'm actually really surprised at the price of some of the hotels I have been looking at

[richard_smith237]

Nearer town - Putahracsa Resort (about 6,800 - 12,000 baht per night depending on dates)

A little further out - Asara (about 6,500 - 10,000 baht per night depending on dates)

To the South of the Town - Lets Sea (about 6,800 - 12,000 baht per night depending on dates)

All of these places above are lovely...

Check out latestays for a good quick rate comparison...

Cheers mate, was looking at Putchracsa but not mad on the way the basic rooms are all laid out around one swimming pool, doesn't seem too private but am still tempted to go there as the restaurant looks lovely and the location seems good

Heard good things about the Dusit.

[bkkgooner]

Dusit looks nice although a bit far from the beach but no worries with the car, only thing that annoys me is the bloody 3p.m. check in time seems a bit too late for my liking

Did you ever feel like you just have too much choice?

I recently booked the City hotel for a short break....seems decent sized rooms and nice n cheap and central!

_{The Dusit is a little out of town, but it is right on the beach. They also have English riding lessons that the wife and kid love and free Thai cooking classes. Great seafood buffet.}

_{The Centara is great as well.}

thanks for the reply mogan

if you were pushed what would you pick between Centara and Dusit?

[mogandave]

My wife and kid prefer the Dusit, I prefer the Centara.

The Centara is more laid-back and beach like, (breakfast in the breeze-way) the Dusit is a little more formal.

Both are great. The beach is nicer (albeit more public) at the Centara.

The Dusit has more activities and packages. Be sure to check what promotions they have on their website before you book.

[bkkgooner]

Thanks for the great advice, I'll just have to change the dates I had planned to get us into the Centara

Dusit can be a backup

Any places you would recommend checking out in the area? Temples / beaches etc.

[mogandave]

I like going to the pool or beach or even the lobby with a book. One nice thing about staying at a great hotel is that you don't need to go anywhere.

Your wife is Thai, yes? You're going to end up going wherever she wants anyway, why get caught up making her pretend like she cares what you want to do?

Have fun.

Haha, cheers mate for the advice

I stayed in The Dusit last week for 5 days, can't fault it, it's a lovely spot, although a bit out of the town, which actually was perfect.

[bkkgooner]

that's good to know, seems to have mostly great reviews on tripadvisor as well

how long was the drive from the dusit to the main part of town? 10 minutes or so?

The Grand Pacific Sovereign just down the road at Cha Am is very nice, we have stayed there quite a number of times. Best to have a sea view room. booking.com have it at an almost reasonable price at present.

Beaches aren't that good, but pool is very nice. Breakfast is usually excellent and there is also I nice relaxing area to have coffee or drinks. Many prefer Cha Am to Hau Hin.

The Centara, is that what used to be called Sofitel ...if so then we stayed there once in those little villas with there own small pool ... really nice but was a bit pricy if I recall. Must admit at that time I thought the rooms in the hotel weren't that great.

[bkkgooner]

The Dusit at the moment has rooms for 4,500 per night while the Centara is at 7,700 looks like the Dusit will have to be the winner

[mogandave]

Make sure you get the events schedule when you check in. The activities are fun and usually free. The free cooking "class" is great, go hungry!

The have a nice stable also and offer English riding lessons that my kid loves.

I have book a room at the Anantara Resort & Spa.

As it is for us the first time in Hua Hin i know nothing about this hotel.

Can somebody give me some information about this resort.

We are going just to relax and visit places during the daytime. (we have a car)

A few years ago l stayed at the Holiday Inn in Hua Hin which l enjoyed very much as it was right on the beach and with nearby restaurants. Cannot seem to find it on any of the internet booking agencies as l was planning on going next March. Anybody know if it has changed its name or joined another group.Thanks
