This was my seventh visit to this resort (weekend trips and longer) and I enjoyed Hua Hin more than ever. This hotel is truly special in the world, and to be experienced at least once in a lifetime! The staff is amazing and service fantastic without being too much over the top. Just the right amount of help and friendliness combined with a relaxed feel. We always enjoy the Coast restaurant on the beach (location and menu great) and the three large pools with different areas to sit in shade and sun. The hotel has one of the best breakfast buffets around and the staff is so lovely to see in the mornings. The Club is also a nice opportunity with very attentive staff. Our room was impeccably serviced each day and was so comfortable with the amenities, coffee service, fridge, large balcony and top comfiness for the bed and linens. Many categories of rooms to choose from. Also great central location in Hua Hin but still with huge gardens, and the resort never feels crowded. A big thank you to Khun Ohr and Jan for taking such good care of us as usual. I could have stayed longer and will be back!
