Away from the crowd and other Thailand Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

Birdwatching

It was our anniversary when we stayed here. They gave us an upgrade to a suite. We got a fruit plate everyday and orchids.
The service here was exceptional and the food was very good.

Unique Qualities: It was a short walk to the beach from our cottage.
They had a nice pool area but the pool was not working when we were there.
Our cottage had a side stairs where we could go up to the rooftop terrace to stargaze or have a cocktail on the roof.

Nighttime

We enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Bay Resort very much. We came to stay three nights and didn't leave for a week and then only because it was time to come back to the states. It is in an ideal location for birdwatching. The park being 4-5 km. to the south, the freshwater marsh 15 km.to the north, and the long beach right there.

Unique Qualities: The owners of this resort are very friendly and helpful.
There is a nice pool and a great swimming beach across the road.
The sunrise is worth getting up early to see, coming up over the mountain.
It is just a few miles to Khoa Sam Roi Yat National Park

Guesthouse

Hua Hins's dozen plus guesthouses are on a street one block from the beach.
We stayed at the one at the end nearest the beach. It was called Seaview Guesthouse. We had a large livingroom, and a large bedroom, bath with shower, and a small balcony.
It was very clean and good service.

Unique Qualities: Near the beach and shopping.
They arranged a taxi and driver to pick us up at our hotel in Bangkok.
