Pure Bliss!!”

I have just returned after two blissful days at the Devasom Resort in Hua Hin. This place is exquisite and I just didn't want to leave!!! What I loved about this place: 1. It is unique...from the hand-picked antique furnishings in the lobby, the original set of Encyclopedia Britannica from early 1950s in the gorgeous library, to the deliciously refreshing welcome drink, the Devasom is original. It is like being welcomed into someone's home in the 1920s in southern France! To top that off, the staff are wonderfully friendly and the owner (Ms Rasri) is such a delightful woman whose passion for this place is evident in the care she has taken in making it so nice. 2. The fact that it is not a sprawling mega-resort like many others in Hua Hin. It is a sanctuary....a place where you come to find peace and quiet while being surrounded by beauty both inside and outside the hotel room. A place you can be left alone to dwell in your thoughts but if you wanted some help, a staff will eagerly assist you. 3. The bathroom! I loved the bath products, the wooden floors, the beautiful bathtub and the fact that it could be a completely open bathroom if one wanted! So you could relax with a nice glass of Pinot and watch a movie from your bathtub! 4. Location was great. The resort is right on the beach. The beach spot in front of the resort is small but you can take a walk to surrounding beach areas quite easily. It is 10 km from the bustling town centre of Hua Hin...so it is close enough if you wanted to go into town but far enough to be away from the crowds. The hotel provides shuttle service three times a day until 5pm (last one) into town. If you wanted to go into town for dinner or the night market, they can also help you arrange a taxi (approx. 250 baht one way) 5. The infinity pool was divine....as was the sunset! All in all - a perfect, peaceful getaway

One Of The Top Notch Resort”

This is one of the best resort in Hua Hin, i've been to Hua Hin for many times. The reason i choose this resort is because of the Rustic Thai design of the front beach villa. And the resort have a private front beach which can be accessible easily. The service and food is great, they also provide good spread for the morning breakfast buffet. We also run into the owner of Devasom, Ms.Rasri Atirak. She's friendly and very nice person, she ask us about our stay and how is everything. I can see from that, this resort is well taken care off and Ms.Rasri is always around to make sure everything is right for the guest. The resort also provide shuttle service to the main town of Hua Hin so for those who like to travel around please take note of it. I highly recommend Devasom to those who seek for quality and exceptional resort.

Lovely colonial style hotel with excellent service”

We stayed here for three nights and it is the best hotel/resort that we have stayed in as frequent visitors to Hua Hin. The only negatives I can think of about the Devasom are its location and the lack of a 24 hour bar/restaurant and no room service. If you can overlook these minor inconveniences and are looking for a peaceful retreat by the beach then it represents great value for money. Arguably better than any of the surrounding big name resorts and half the price. The rooms are well appointed and clean, the resort itself is quaint and impeccably maintained, the staff are friendly and courteous and the beach is clean if relatively unspectacular. I would highly recommend the Devasom if you want to be outside the main Hua Hin town itself, as a taxi ride will cost 200thb minimum to and from the resort. They do run a free minivan service however but it is infrequent. We will be returning to Hua Hin and we will no doubt stay in the Devasom again.

Simply wonderful and very relaxing”

We stayed at the Devasom Resort in one of the Beach Villas for 9 days and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. When you arrive, you can tell immediately that you are not at just another characterless brand-named hotel. The design is in an old colonial style where the open reception looks out across a pristine lawn to the twin swimming pools which seem to blend into the sea-lined horizon beyond. The resort has 10 Beach Villas which are built around the lawn/pools and 14 rooms are built on 3 floors which face towards the lawn, pools & sea. All rooms have private balconies and the beach villas have private verandas. The room styling is also colonial with numerous period features. It is quite apparent that the owner has not placed emphasis solely on profit maximisation – rack rates are non-existent, everything is reasonably priced in the restaurant, laundry costs are fair, the well stocked mini-fridge is free and replenished daily, a free shuttle service is in place to take you to downtown Hua Hin and collect you again (or a 200 Thai Baht taxi fare if you plan to come back late). The restaurant is open throughout the day and serves excellent food with a good selection of wines & drinks available. Breakfast is a feast! The service is impeccable and the staff genuinely seems happy and eager to help. In summary, this is a place to relax and unwind; we certainly did and left feeling completely recharged. At the end of our stay we were waved off by the hotel owner and some of her staff – now that is a personal touch you don’t often receive in this day and age. We will certainly return to the Devasom Resort - we arrived as guests and left as friends.

Worthy of all 5 stars”

I had a hard time deciding what hotel to book with for my trip to Hua Hin and I have absolutely no regrets with Devasom. From the moment I arrived at the lobby, I was greeted with the familiar friendly smiles whom the wonderful Thai people are so famously known for. Everything was beautiful. The room we had on the 2nd floor was so spacious. The buffet breakfast was excellent, we never left the hotel for our 3D2N stay except for a trip downtown (which we found didn't interest us and preferred to stay in for the next day). They provided shuttle bus service as well, but I found that as first time visitors to Hua Hin I wasn't sure where to move off from the clock tower drop off location so we had to rely on google maps. But really, the hotel cannot be faulted at all. We had our meals at the restaurant which was really good. My only only wish was - there could be a spa / massage facility provided at the resort then it will truly be an all round getaway.

Beautiful, Romantic, Quiet Couple's Getaway”

This hotel was amazing! The rooms were beautiful and the architecture was traditional thai and gorgeous, classy and comfortable, while being minimalistic. When we first got there, we were greeted by the hotel staff and served with slanting drinks, which were made from boiling some of the local flowers. The room we stayed in was a suite and was large and clean, with a wonderful shower and tube and a view over the pool out to the ocean. it was very comfortable, although we did not really use the living room area and a normal room would have been fine. All of the decor is in a clean white-beige, and the room was spotless. We got the package that included breakfast which was delicious -- your choice of eggs with potatoes, bacon, ham, sausage, yogurt, fruit, juice, coffee, and toast or croissants. We also ate lunch at the hotel one day and their larb moo was especially delicious. The pool area was very relaxing with a 3 tier infinity pool and around the lounge area there was soothing, low music reminiscent of the 1920s. We had the area pretty much to ourselves, but it looks like in high season there is also a swim-up pool bar. The lounge chairs were comfortable and perfect for relaxing and reading a good book. The beach is mostly just a small cove and we did not spend much time there. There are free shuttles into Hua Hin twice a day, or you can go whenever you want for 250 THB one way, less than 10 USD. The drive takes about 15 minutes. For us, this was a perfect experience -- beautiful hotel, an opportunity to relax and enjoy each others company, great service, and off the beaten path. We were able to easily go into Hua Hin, which I'm glad we did not stay in -- somewhat dirty and crowded. If you are looking for a family beach vacation, I would pick a different place, but this hotel is perfect for a couples' retreat!

Small peaceful seaside retreat”

Devasom was great! peaceful, beautiful retreat with comfortable rooms, huge balconies, nice breakfast (although not many Asian breakfast options) and great staff. It's closer to Cha-am than Hua Hin, so it is quiet and the beach is clean. Devasom is less than a year old - the grounds and rooms are in perfect shape. We really enjoyed the saltwater pool as well. I haven't stayed at an other hotels or resorts in the area, but I definitely recommend Devasom.

Walk back into turn-of-the-century charm and ”

We would highly recommend this small individually owned property. The beauty and charm is unique in Thailand. The breakfast was above our expectations and we found the grounds and rooms so peaceful and charming we barely left to look around Hua Hin. The only area lacking at all was the food via room service. It was normal for Thailand, but not on par with the rest of the lovely place. But good food is easy to find at lots of other places in Hua Hin--we recommend Peppinos and Yoo-Yen. We stayed in the Devasom Grand, and the view was perfect. The claw foot tub is so relaxing and the beds are very comfortable. The balcony was a special treat, with a large area, comfortable lounges, a bean bag and towel racks. Lovely, lovely place. A must do again!

Fantastic stay at Devasom”

We spent 4 nights at Devasom in Hua Hin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were there on honeymoon and found the resort so romantic. The staff were really friendly and always ready to assist in every respect. The food was good and had nice variety. The resort also provides a shuttle three times daily to the Hua Hin night market. We really enjoyed the intimacy of the resort and the beautiful attention to detail. If we were to fault anything it would be that the resort does not have an on site spa, they do provide Thai massage which is given in your room but doesn't really have the same feel as a onsite spa with all the options. Overall we loved the resort and are especially fond of the owner who we were honoreed to meet and her love for the resort shows in every detail. Much love the Victors villa 3

Beautiful boutique hotel”

we spent a really nice week at devasom. the hotel is fresh clean and beautifully designed in colonial siam style true to the heritage of the area. we travelled with a 5yo and stayed in a poolside villa and it's very kid friendly. there were several other families staying the same week as us and plenty of opportunity to find other friends to play with. the hotel is small enough to get more personal attention and to get to know the staff. the owner was always at hand as well, ensuring the guests were looked after. the location is a bit of a distance from hua hin and there is not much to see or do in the immediate area. we have travelled a lot throughout se asia and this is one of the nicer hotels we have stayed at, hua hin as an area does't have much to offer apart from euro-mass tourism which can be a spectacle in itself. devasom is however a great short break, easily accessible from bangkok. we'd go there again for the hotel itself.

Lovely hotel and very friendly staff”

This is a wonderful hotel if you are looking to relax in quiet surroundings. It has lovely swimming pools with a great view of the sea (which you can swim in from a small beach (tidal, so not available all day). The staff are very friendly and always willing to help in any way they can and the owner is often around to chat to. Hua Hin and Cha-am are only a short tuk tuk/taxi ride away and there is also a free shuttle bus to Hua Hin a couple of times a day . You can stay in the main hotel to save on costs (rooms clean and spacious with generous balcony space) or splash out and enjoy the fabulous villas next to the pool/beach. The food at the restaurant is good and they often have free cookery lessons and cocktails.

top choice for a quiet couple getaway”

as a Thai i have visited a ton of hotels in cha-am and hua hin area, from big brands to small boutique hotels. and Devasom turned out to top them all. the style of the hotel is personally really homey and classic. the staffs are always super friendly but polite and never too intrusive. the food was great and the room was just everything i needed for a quiet getaway trip. only one complain is the water temperature in the shower. it took a while for hot water to run and the temperature was not stable. but honestly forgivable since other factors were just top of the line! will definitely stay here again!

Relaxation +, Gret place to get away from it all.”

have just returned from 5 peaceful nights at devasom. from sunrise to sunset, just chilling out on the balcony of our ocean front villa was the most peaceful experience, a great place to get away from it all. however, the action of hua hin and its night markets was just a free shuttle to town and a $aud 9 taxi ride back. even better, if you want a big resort experience for lunch or dinner devasom is just an easy beach stroll to either the sheraton or dusit thani resorts. the devasom staff all go 'an extra mile' to make your stay that much more enjoyable. can't wait to get back to devasom as soon as possible.

Peaceful & Luxurious”

I have visited Devasom Hua Hin twice in 4 years (from Sydney Australia) and I just fell in love with it every time. It's so peaceful, beautiful and extremely clean. Staff are very polite, friendly and helpful. I stayed in the Villa and Deluxe Room with breathtaking view. The decoration is gorgeous. The bed is super comfortable. I enjoyed reading by the pool and staying in bed, yes that's all I did. Buffet breakfast was good and food at the restaurant was delicious. You basically can enjoy you stay without leaving the resort. I will definitely come back again soon.

Perfection personified!”

If all the pieces ever fell together perfectly this resort is it. Attentive staff, great location, large rooms, top notch amenities, wonderful dining and amazing sea views made this the perfect weekend get away. A small mini-bar held free drinks, non-alcoholic, and a small assortment of snacks.Two pools and a small beach offered cooling activities for all. Located between Cha Am and Hua Hin local dining, shopping and attractions are plentiful and easily reached. The claw-footed bath tub and brass fixtures in the huge bathroom were an unexpected surprise. All in all a wonderful resort.

The best little romantic beach hotel in Hua Hin”

We have been to Hua Hin multiple times so for my wife to have given Devasom the best hotel in Hua Hin meant Devasom is very special. It gives you a balance blend of relaxation and activities. The staffs here are in a class of their own. i have never seen a happier workplace than the staffs at Devasom. i can't think of anything bad about Devasom at all. Truely great value for money.

Such a beautiful hotel! ”

We stayed for 2 nights here. And we were so glad that we chose this hotel above the rest! When we arrived here, we were in awe with the design and view of the hotel. I may be exaggerating a little but we loved it! Staffs were friendly and helpful. The room is beautifully designed and comfortable. Facing the beach, pool water is warm to swim in, there are enough day beds to lie on, not crowded, food in the restaurant is nice and not over-priced at all. One thing that could be improved on will be to increase the number for shuttle timings to the main street, but then again, it's such a nice hotel to stay in and enjoy instead of going out! Thank u to the staffs in Devasom! We were dragging ourselves to check out on the last day. We will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Hua hin just to relax and enjoy!!

A very special place indeed ”

We had a simply lovely time at the Devasom which is a very special place. It has been designed and it operates from the heart with the guests very much in mind. It's difficult to leave without a small tear from the warmth and the welcome we received. We moved rooms half way through for fun wanting to experience both the main building and the cabins both are gorgeous; the cabins very cute. Utterly relaxing, Hua hin isn't difficult to get to but we found ourself staying put more often than not to enjoy the delightful creations from the chef - he really is a very accomplishments Thai chef but equally at home with his squid ink vongole which I can thoroughly recommend. Prices very fair for the quality. The owner, her son and all the staff are wonderful - thank you so much .

Wonderful hotel with a great ambience”

Everything was almost perfect except for the fact that it's inconvenient to travel to and fro to Hua hin Centre which took abt 5-7 mins. When we booked our hotel with Devasom, we e-mailed them for pick up when we were to arrive at Hua hin ctr but they did not reply to the email so we played by ear and took a cab when we arrived at hua hin and the driver cldnt find his way and we wasted an hour looking for the place. We felt that service before we arrived was not met for the amount we paid per night. One more thing to our dismay was the room, we paid more for a suite hoping to get a clear view of the see but was blocked by the terrace in front of our balcony. So if you want to have a clear view of the sea, book the deluxe rooms which cost lesser than the suite and the view is not so much obstructed. On that point, we were disappointed. Also they could have more frequent shuttle service from the hotel to hua hin clock tower but if you're just there to chill and not explore hua hin then it's nice place.

Lovely private villa with great service”

i rented two villas that were next to each other, giving my two teenage kids privacy as well as my wife and i, this was definitely the wiser choice. we were right in front of the pool and only steps away from the beach. the resort provides a free shuttle back and forth to the hua hin town center or it's a fairly cheap taxi or tuk tuk ride, we usually took the shuttle to go to town and a taxi back to the resort, as the last shuttle pick up in town is at 5pm. there are plenty of great restaurants in town and therefore we tried to have dinner before going back to the resort. i highly recommend one local seafodo restaurant, if you're into seafood, chao lay....it was great and affordable, but try to get there early. we went on a friday evening, got there like 6:30ish and were able to get a table immediately, but around 7....there was a line out the door. we definitely had a great relaxing time overall, especially since it was out first time to hua hin. there aren't as much water activities as you would probably find in phuket, but i guess what type of vacation you're looking for, as i think hua hin is less commercial and more relaxing compated to hustle bustle of phuket.
