Well, where to start! Lovely location, quiet, clean, clean beach, quiet beach, easy to get to, close enough to Hua Hin, but far enough away to hid from the city noise etc. The Hotel was a very pleasant experience all around, the rooms are very comfortable with very nice bathrooms (only Shower). Mozzy nets, although we didn t need to use them. The first week we stayed in the Jacuzzi Villa s (which I preferred) even though it is over the road from the main hotel complex, the private area on the roof was great in the evenings.
We then moved to a Villa in the main complex, the room was a little smaller but basically the same layout, the view was of the sea, and you could hear it which my girlfriend wanted (she preferred this room). Nice little balcony which we sat and had dinner a couple of times. The breakfast was good, choice of eggs on what they called the American breakfast, and seafood or meat Thai breakfast, all large hearty meals. Generally the food is tasty, chicken and rice was what I settled on, but the burgers and club sandwich is good for lunch at the pool.
Sitting by the pool on the loungers was a joy, looking out over the beach and the sea. To the right is the Khao Tao Temple and village. The temple is definitely worth a visit (http://www.khaotakiab.com/khao-tao.htm)
The staff in the hotel were very welcoming and bent over backwards for anything we requested, they were all very nice. They generally don t have any English except for you to order food, however this did not hinder the relaxing time that we sent at the hotel.
The hotel will take you to Hua Hin once a day, but will not collect you. We hired a scooter which gave us the freedom to come and go from Hua Hin and other places. There is a rental place on the corner of the main road from Hua Hin heading to the village. 250BHT per day for scooter, but they also have cars if you are with a family, and they are well priced too.
I ll finish by saying that if you want a quiet almost secluded location with beautiful surroundings and very comfortable rooms, but close enough to the city for the restaurants and shopping then this is the place. Highly recommended.
