Best Hotels near the Beach in Hua Hin Beachfront

"This is a fabulous hotel with everything you could ask for, on the beach and right in the centre of everything - and best yet, at a reasonable price! I was a little dubious about staying at a Hilton as their hotels around the world are very inconsistent in quality but the Hilton Hua Hin is a completely different and wonderful experience compared to any other I've seen anywhere. We would stay there again in a heartbeat if we're ever back in Hua Hin - it's great for kids and adults alike, there's something for everyone. The only downside is the over the top prices for internet, which is a little disappointing. I still fail to understand why so many smaller, cheaper and boutique hotels can offer free wifi, yet the more you pay for a hotel, the more you end up having to pay for internet on top of the room rate. Go figure. That aside, our experience at the Hilton was awesome and we're looking forward to going back there when our daughter is a little older and can enjoy all the kids activities on offer."

"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. "

"This is a great choice in Hua Hin if you want to be on the beach, in the town center and not pay very high prices. The rooms are newly furnished, quite spacious, nice TV, DVD etc. They are mostly set in villas in a garden running down to the beach front. There's a small but well-designed pool overlooking the beach with comfortable loungers and a bar / restaurant. Free coffee, tea, snacks and cheap beer during the afternoon is an excellent touch. We didn't try the main restaurant menu but the steak and seafood looked very reasonable. Breakfast was very good - buffet selection with fresh bread, omelets, cheese, pancakes, Thai rice and noodle dishes etc, etc. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel is in the town center so bars, restaurants, night market etc are all just a short walk away. I'd definitely recommend this place as great value compared to some of the other similarly placed options in Hua Hin."

"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 family have been to Hua Hin at least twice a year in the last decade. So we have a lot of experience for the difference hotel in Hua Hin. This is the first time we ever come to Hua Hin Marriott Resort and Spa. I have to say that this is exceed our expectation. The hotel is very new with a fantastic swimming pool. I haven't seen the swimming pool this size (and a lot of complex design) inside the hotel before. The room is quite spacious. The breakfast is full of variety of selection from everywhere. And above all, the service is really fantastic from the front desk, security guard (especially the one at the sea gate), and room service. So far, we haven't tried lunch and dinner there yet, but we will definitely be back there to test it for sure. "

"This hotel is located very close to the beach and is very quiet. However it is about 15 min from Hua Hin downtown by shuttle. We took mini bus from Bangkok Victory Monument and after arrived, we call the hotel and they send a free shuttle to the mini bus station to pick us up. The hotel provides free round-trip shuttle service 3 times a day to Hua Hin downtown. They also provide golf cart service to take you to the beach and to the main road (where you can walk to a local market and a shopping outlet). I have had some very interesting chicken skewers at the local market at the entrance of the main road. If you walk outside the entrance close to the reception, there is a small local store (for water and beer) and laundry service within 3 min walking distance. The hotel provide free Wi-Fi, although they have problem with their network settings and was not working properly at the time I stayed. I will explain my work around to this problem later in this review. Most of the staff does not speak English very well. But don't worry, they are super nice. They have most of the information I needed printed out in English. The hotel provide free parking. I would rent a car next time I stay here. Shuttles 3 times a day is not very convenient. I hope they have fixed the WiFi problem when you stay. If not, you can try the following. Their subnet is 192.168.20.x. However, their DHCP keep giving out IPs in the 192.168.1.x range, and there is no route between the two subnets. During my stay, the hotel is not crowded, so I randomly pick an IP from the 192.168.20.x subnet (x is any number between 5 to 254). Gateway and DNS should be 192.168.20.2. Then you hit http://192.168.20.2 to register your device. You will have to do this for every access point within the hotel, but you should keep your IP the same across all access points. If you have an IP conflict, pick a different number"

"This is a late review, but I still remember every detail of my stay at Putahracsa. From the moment you step in the lobby the staff would welcome you with very friendly and genuine smiles. They are not shy to approach their customers to help out and definitely did their best at servicing their customers. Any requests you'd make they did their best to help out. The service was definitely a major factor for me enjoying my stay so much. Secondly, the hotel itself was very nice and relaxing. The environment was quiet and "private" with two beautiful pools. The rooms were comfortable and large. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that the hotel was situated on two sides of the road. So to get to the second pool from my room I had to cross the street to the other side. This is only a minor problem tho as there was always a staff member near the street to help you cross the street. Other nice things about the hotel include the free DVD's they provide which is great for night time as Hua Hin is not a big party/nightlife kind of town. The hotel also has a tuk tuk which you can book to take you from the hotel to anywhere in Hua Hin. Although taxi's in Thailand aren't too expensive anyway, having this service saves you from the hassel of finding a taxi yourself. The hotel's location is also pretty good as it is within walking distance to the night market. (which I would deem as one of the major attractions in Hua Hin)"

"We stayed here during the long weekend (Mother's Day in Thailand). We are lucky to get a very good deal from Agoda because hotels in Hua Hin is quite expensive. We booked since 17Jul13 and check in on 10Aug13. Recommend everyone to stay here because this hotel is clean, safe, staffs are friendly and there are swimming pools right next to the beach. Also Cecada Market is in walking distance (5 minutes walk only). We will go back there again if we go to Hua Hin."

"I think this is the best resort in Hua hin since the rooms are very good designed ( I mean the best for materials, style of decoration, and partition in the room). The staffs are professional and well-trained. However, one small complaint is that the abf line is less variety (not delicious and tasteless) than expected and the area for abf is so small which is not enough for peak hour like 9 am. Apart from that, they are truly the best. The beach is clean, secure and nice. Well, I like the fat chickens that hotel decorates around the area which is so good to take photos. Again, I really like the room design and a speaker in the restroom is amazing."

"family vacation was our regular tradition during summer time. i chose dusit hua hin because i want to try different hotel after i had tried and got impressed with cape nidhra and intercontinental hua hin before. dusit was probably among the oldest hotel/resort in this area (other would be centara hua hin). hotel buildings were built in colonial style with thai style decoration. lobby was awesome, huge with nice interior. staffs were superb at their services. check-in/check-out was fast and flawless. front desk recognized my reserve promptly and direct me to the rooms. i could really not find any hotel in hua hin that can match dusit's service, even several other 5-stars hotels that i previously stayed. the breakfast here was perfect. so many varieties to choose and 'all' were delicious. i can say this hotel had the best breakfast in hua hin by far. few minus i can mention here, room decorations were quite old and dark. the amenities here could not match those of cape nidhra and intercontinental. tv was crt, not lcd/led and remote was difficult to use, sometimes did not respond at all. lighting switches were so complex and not centralized. i also think lighting was not adequate, esp at night. i don't like room to be too dark. however, if you consider services and food to be your priorities, those dusit provided trumped everything, ... hands down.
