Default Hua Hin Hotels:

I am looking to take my first visit to Hua Hin....but have no idea
where to stay!
I was considering the Hilton but was told that the beach is cleaner,
quieter(less jet skis)further out.
During the day we like to sunbathe,read and swim in the sea and wander
to a beach bar for lunch.
At night we like a good choice of restaurants and bars. So anywhere up
to 15 minutes tuk-tuk/taxi out of the centre could work.
I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

I can recommend the Marriott Hotel, quiet, cleaner beach, and just a 5
min tuk-tuk drive from the city center. More expensive than the
Hilton, but better value for money than, say ,the Sofitel.

garden of the Marriott with the beautiful gardens of the Sofitel

In what price range?

The Sofitel is classy, extensive grounds, beautiful pool, - historic -
right on the beach AND an easy walk to the Night Market and restaurants by
the hundred!!

There's a full range of prices available in the town and at Cha Am etc

Having stayed at both hotels within the last 6 months, I believe
Marriott is better value for money. We had booked one of their
bungalows for the Heineken jazz festival last June, and kicked up a
fuzz when we found it to be mosquito infested and reeking of mold -
that "old" smell you sometimes get in cheaper hotels. Management gave
us an upgrade to a luxury room in the main building at no extra cost
(which was very decent of them), and that room was superb. Not too
impressed with their swimming pool either, the whole pool area could
do with a renovation, IMHO.

Both my wife and I have found the Marriott to be more what we are
looking for. You are of course entitled to your opinion. As for
gardens, yes - the Sofitel has a nice garden. Excellent point!

Trond
