Anantara, Hua Hin and other Thailand Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

We stayed there in October 01 and payed approx. EUR 38/Person/Night (low season/standard room).
Prices seem to have been increased since then, unfortunately and differ according to season and room catagory, of course.

Unique Qualities: Although Hua Hin does not belong to our favourite locations, the Anantara was one of the best hotels we visited, so far.
There is nothing special about the rooms but its garden with small lakes and so many tiny details is absolutely fantastic. The main swimming pool is great (a landscape in itself) and the second pool is next to a beautiful laguna. Service and food is good and cleanlyness without any doubt. The beach there, though, certainly cannot be counted to one of the best in Hua Hin.

We stayed in Chaweng Regent Hotel a few years ago. That was our first trip to Thailand and it made us feel like living in a paradise!

Unique Qualities: Chaweng Regent Resort was a lovely 3star+-hotel and was affordable for us in 1996. Since then, it became a 4star hotel and the prices have gone up tremendously - unfortunately.

Should you intent to stay there, take a "Deluxe" room. These rooms are situated at the second pool area and are nice and quiet (although a little small - but sufficiant!). We really enjoyed to have the pleasure of great garden views and pool views at the same time and only a few steps before we could enter the pool. Made us feel like this was our "private" pool. Moreover, most people swim at the main pool and that makes the second pool area very attractive! And it is large, too. The garden is absolutely beautiful. You feel like beeing in a jungle (with outside "jungle"-showers", something my husband favoured very much ;-) .

Chaweng regent is/was situated at the south (?) far end of Chaweng beach (this might have changed by now as Chaweng surely has become bigger tremendously since then ... ?).

What we though was ideal at the time, was the fact, that going out at the front entrance, we had busy Chaweng with shops and restaurants at our door steps - and going out the beach entrance, there was peace and calmness and it was ever so relaxing to walk on the beach looking for a nice restaurant!

Food (we only had breakfast) was excellent, too. Buffet with anything you can think off.

Live Entertainment in the evenings, either at the beach bar or at the entrance bar. (Try not to get a room near the entrance bar!)
