Review of Ace of Hua Hin Resort: Secluded Beachfront Bliss, Poolside Bedrooms, and Ocean-View Pool Villas

Hua Hin… No matter how many times we visit, we never get tired of you. Move a little closer to Hua Hin with Ace of Huahin Resort, a.k.a. Ace of Hua Hin Resort, located along the Hua Hin-Cha-am stretch, just a mere 2-hour drive from Bangkok. Nestled by a private beach that is both wide and long, the resort boasts a beautifully crafted design that we adore. This is our fourth visit, and we keep coming back because we’re impressed by the beachfront and the exquisite details in the hotel’s decor.

When you drive into Ace of Huahin Resort, you’ll find parking available right away. A buggy will then come to pick you up and assist with transporting your luggage, making the arrival process convenient and comfortable. Before entering the lobby, you’ll encounter a picturesque spot that has become a must-capture moment for everyone. It has transformed into an iconic photo spot for the hotel. So, take a snapshot at this charming location before heading to the lobby.

After that, walk through the lobby entrance with its grand, welcoming doors. I really like this kind of lobby – it allows you to feel the cool sea breeze, catch glimpses of the gentle waves, and offers a pool table and a reading corner right in the lobby area.

While walking towards the rooms, you’ll come across this corner. Initially, we thought it was a swimming pool, but it’s not. It’s actually a beautifully designed spot for taking stunning photos. The long pathway connects to various room types, offering a picturesque environment both during the day and at night. You can truly feel the distinctive atmosphere that makes it an excellent photo opportunity.

This pathway continues all the way to the beachfront, passing through the hotel’s main restaurant and the main swimming pool. On both sides of the walkway, there are shaded areas with modern and beautifully designed elements. The design incorporates small touches of Thai art, blending contemporary aesthetics with traditional Thai influences.

The beachfront at Ace of Huahin Resort, especially during the Pla Bpuem season, tends to be serene with few people around at any time of the day. It provides a private and tranquil atmosphere. The fine white sand adds to the overall appeal, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful and private beach experience.

The infinity pool at Ace of Huahin Resort is located right by the sea, creating a seamless blend between the pool’s edge and the horizon. The pool is themed with shades of blue and white, providing a feeling as if you are swimming in the sea itself. Whether you’re swimming, lounging by the pool, or relaxing on the beach, the overall experience is truly delightful, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the sea from various vantage points.

The room I like the most would probably have to be the Ace Suite with Sea View and Private Pool, a one-bedroom accommodation situated at the frontmost part of the resort. It offers views of the beach, the pool, and the garden. It is designed in a way that once you are in, you may not want to go anywhere else. The exterior features a spacious terrace with a large day bed, providing a view of the sea and the infinity pool for two. The outdoor rain shower adds to the sense of privacy.

Apart from these amenities, the living area is beautifully decorated with a luxurious touch, showcasing a view of the sea. The bedroom is ensuite, with a bathroom featuring a bathtub at every corner, each offering a panoramic view of the sea. Every detail in the room is designed to create a breathtaking and relaxing atmosphere.

The Ace Tropical Suite is a two-bedroom accommodation with a private pool, designed for family stays, accommodating up to 4 adults and 1 additional child. The spacious room covers an area of 215 square meters and features a private pool, a kitchen, a dining table, a living room, and a generously sized guest area.

The suite includes two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The large private pool adds an extra touch of luxury to the overall experience. This room is ideal for families looking for a comfortable and spacious stay, providing ample space for both relaxation and entertainment.

The Ace Deluxe room, located adjacent to the swimming pool, is uniquely special as it seamlessly connects to the pool area. This room features a spacious balcony and a daybed for relaxation, offering direct access to the pool. The pool itself is characterized by its length, providing ample space for enjoyable swimming without feeling crowded. The bed in the room is plush and comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The wide balcony and cozy daybed make it an ideal spot for unwinding and enjoying the poolside ambiance.

The interior of the room comes equipped with a separate shower and toilet, providing added convenience and privacy. The inclusion of a separate shower allows guests to enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating bathing experience, while the toilet area remains distinct for additional comfort. This thoughtful design ensures a well-appointed and functional space for guests to enjoy during their stay.

With such a delightful ambiance, indulging in delicious cuisine is a must. Ivy Restaurant, located by the pool and adjacent to the beach, provides a perfect setting for dining. There are seating options available on the terrace, and if you’re looking for a special spot, it’s advisable to reserve a table in advance. I highly recommend dining on the terrace for a private and fantastic atmosphere. The overall experience is truly delightful.

The food is in a Thai fusion style, and each dish is outstanding and uniquely creative – something you might not have tried anywhere else. The chef has a remarkable talent for creating flavors that are truly delicious. For instance, the Seasar Salad with fried shrimp is a standout. While it may look like a regular Caesar salad with bacon, what makes it exceptional is the deliciously fried shrimp. Next is the large portion of Panang Salmon, with a sweet and slightly spicy taste. This dish is remarkable for its fresh and robust salmon. The stuffed squid and curry-powder-fried soft-shell crab are also delicious. You won’t be disappointed with any dish you try here.

The large blue glass contains a refreshing drink called Blue Hawaii Blended Coconut Water. It’s a delightful beverage that brings joy, especially because it includes coconut water blended with ice flakes. Another glass is filled with Blue Hawaii, similar to the one on top, with a fresh and lively taste.

It seems like you’ve enjoyed breakfast at Ace of Hua Hin Resort four times, and each time has been consistently satisfying. The breakfast offerings feature a variety of options, including Thai, Asian, and American breakfast choices, as well as healthy menu selections. This diversity allows guests to choose based on their preferences, ensuring a well-rounded breakfast experience.

Sunshine, paradise, sandy beach @Sunshine Paradise Resort, Tapsakae, Prachuap Khiri Khan.

When talking about the province of Prachuap Khiri Khan, people might be familiar with the name Hua Hin. However, if you’re looking for a new and unique experience that Hua Hin no longer offers, take a drive just 1.5 hours from Hua Hin, and you’ll arrive at Tapsakae, Sunshy Paradise Resort. Here, you’ll find a tranquil sea, a long and secluded sandy beach, panoramic mountain views, and towering palm trees lined up in a row. On clear days, the sea is exceptionally beautiful.

The sea and the beach in front of Sunshy Paradise Resort are incredibly serene, with very few people around. It feels like you have the sea all to yourself, as it is not crowded. The hotel offers accommodation options, including pool villas, garden villas, and tent villas.

The front villas are the original villas that are often fully booked because of their beachfront location. They offer unobstructed panoramic views, allowing you to wake up early, open the door, and witness the sunrise over the vast sea.

The newly constructed villas, such as the 4 Bedroom Beachfront Pool Villa, are perfect for large family vacations. These spacious villas cover an area of 580 square meters and feature four bedrooms with private bathrooms. We were impressed with the master bedroom’s ensuite bathroom, designed with a skylight, allowing you to stargaze while soaking in the jacuzzi. Additionally, the villa comes with a living room, a dining table, and a private pool. What sets this villa apart, aside from being a pool villa with a sea view, is the wide glass windows. When we open the curtains, the sea is visible from every corner of the villa.

The Ocean View Pool Villa, also a newly constructed villa, stands out with its two-story design on a hill, providing a high vantage point for stunning sea views. The villa features an elevated private pool that, during the night, can be illuminated with starry lights, creating a delightful atmosphere. The bedrooms are separated into upper and lower floors, with each room utilizing the entire floor, offering ample space. There is also a common central area that includes a dining room and a balcony with a view of the sea.

The upper floor of the Ocean View Pool Villa is the master bedroom, equipped with a sitting area for watching TV, a dining table, and a kitchen counter. The sea view from this level is exceptionally clear, allowing you to enjoy the view right from the bed. Walking down a small step from the bed leads directly to the pool. I appreciate the elevated perspective of the sea, and in the early morning, opening the glass doors brings in a refreshing sea breeze without the need for air conditioning.

The spacious bathroom is a standout feature, with his and her basins, a separate shower, and not just one but two jacuzzi tubs. The large jacuzzi is strategically placed in a corner where you can enjoy a sea view. Additionally, there is a small sofa in the bathroom, providing an indulgent experience for relaxation and skincare. This room truly combines luxury with a complete bathing and skincare experience.

Let’s take a look at the lower floor of this villa, which also comes with private parking. The interior is similarly decorated to the upper floor, though it may not offer the same breathtaking sea view.

The Cottage Pool Villa is a 62-square-meter villa with a pool adorned with starry lights, creating a magical atmosphere during the night. This villa is situated amidst a garden view, and although it doesn’t provide an unobstructed sea view, there are partial glimpses of the sea.

The Garden Pool Villa, a 38.5-square-meter pool villa, offers a view of the garden and is situated towards the back. Despite its location, it only takes a short walk to reach the beach. The highlight of this villa lies in the lush surroundings of the trees, providing shade and a refreshing atmosphere. The private pool is not heated, and the room ensures privacy.

The main facilities include an infinity pool, which can be quite warm during the midday sun. However, as the afternoon progresses and the shade sets in, the atmosphere becomes incredibly pleasant.

At the lower level, complimentary pastries are provided, including ice cream and popcorn, during happy hours.

The hotel offers a dining venue that allows you to enjoy a full and satisfying sea view. You can also have dinner at the hotel, and the prices are reasonable with delicious flavors. The ingredients are of high quality. I especially enjoyed dishes such as Pad Thai, Sun-Dried Squid, and Steamed Seabass with Lime. Highly recommended!

The hotel’s breakfast, particularly the rice soup, is guaranteed not to disappoint. The rice soup with pork and shrimp is delicious, featuring large and fresh shrimp. Additionally, there is a small mini-buffet with a variety of items for you to choose and serve yourself.

Near the hotel, I recommend exploring the nearby attractions. There are temples along the route, and you can also visit the scenic Talu Island.

The newest and coolest zone, Habita Seaview, at Baba Beach Club Hua Hin has opened.

If your ideal vacation involves ultimate relaxation, you can’t afford to miss experiencing the newest accommodation zone at Baba Beach Club Hua Hin – the stylish Habita Seaview. For those who appreciate contemporary chic vibes, a trendy beach club atmosphere, and a unique lifestyle blending modernity with a cool beachfront ambiance, don’t miss out! Head over to Baba Beach Club Hua Hin and explore the Habita Seaview zone for a one-of-a-kind experience in trendy living, dining, and leisure.

Baba Beach Club Hua Hin’s newest zone, Habita, is located adjacent to the original Baba Beach Club. If you drive in from the main road, you’ll reach this zone first. Convenient parking is available close to the lobby. The accommodation is in a tall building, and every room offers a panoramic sea view. You can be assured of a breathtaking seascape. The lobby is spacious and well-lit, featuring modern design. The lively music sets the tone for a fun and energetic atmosphere the moment you arrive. This is the new face of Baba Beach Club Hua Hin, where both the original zone and the Habita zone share the same check-in point.

What impresses us the most about Baba Beach Club Hua Hin Habita Seaview is the vibrant energy that surrounds everything. It’s a positive force that leaves us feeling refreshed and invigorated. The proximity of the original zone and the Habita zone is fantastic, with a leisurely stroll of just a few meters leading to the comfortable beach. Along the way, you pass by a swimming pool that seamlessly extends to the beachfront. The pool is equipped with sunscreen cream and beach towels, ready for use.

The rooms at Baba Beach Club Hua Hin Habita Seaview are positioned as a higher-tier option compared to the original zone, with prices reflecting the elevated experience. While they may be relatively higher priced compared to some other 5-star accommodations in the same vicinity, we believe they offer great value for the money. Let’s start with the Baba Suite, even though it falls under the standard room type, what makes it exceptional is the sea view from an elevated perspective. The room is luxuriously decorated with premium materials, spacious at 63 square meters, featuring twin beds, a bathtub, a sofa, a balcony with a daybed, and complimentary snacks and beverages.

The room we stayed in this time is the Baba Suite Corner, a spacious 90-square-meter corner room with stunning sea views. There are plenty of photo-worthy spots, and you can adjust the lighting according to your preference, whether you want a relaxing atmosphere, a more intimate setting, or lighting suitable for unwinding. At Baba Beach Club Hua Hin Habita Seaview, the attention to detail in service is remarkable. Some charming details stand out, such as the not overly long and cumbersome bathrobes, comfortable amenities including toothbrushes, facial cream, soap, shampoo, and high-quality bath salts with a pleasant fragrance. The water system is efficient and doesn’t require a long wait. The bathroom features a modern electric bidet. During the turn-down service, they even provide ice in a container for your convenience.

The Baba Grand Suite, spanning 94 square meters, indeed differs slightly from the Baba Grand Suite Corner in terms of balcony size and layout. However, the overall decoration, style, and facilities are quite similar. This room, in particular, boasts an excellent bathtub with a fantastic sea view, providing a delightful bathing experience surrounded by the scenic beauty of the ocean.

For those traveling in a group, Baba Beach Club Hua Hin Habita Seaview offers the luxurious 3 Bedrooms Pool Villa. This spacious villa provides a private and homely atmosphere, complete with a refreshing swimming pool. The beautifully decorated villa is designed for a private and relaxing stay, allowing guests to unwind together in style.

Let’s take a look at the Cool Spa, and true to its name, it’s indeed a cool and refreshing spa experience. The atmosphere is lively yet tranquil, providing a perfect blend of vibrancy and serenity. What sets it apart is not just the ambiance but also the exceptional massage services. The therapists, especially Terapia, who has previously worked at Sri Panwa in Phuket, are highly skilled. Their massages are truly delightful, addressing every muscle and pressure point. It’s a genuinely happy and relaxing experience.

Moreover, the fitness center includes a Muay Thai training area, adding an extra level of excitement. For fitness enthusiasts, this could be a significant draw. The gym is well-equipped with a variety of exercise machines, and the energetic atmosphere is invigorating, making it a perfect place to get pumped up and active.

Dining by the beach at Baba Beach Club Hua Hin is a delightful experience, especially with the signature dishes from the in-house restaurant, Baan Chok. One cannot miss the Spaghetti from Hell, a sensational dish crafted by the owner himself. It’s a must-try for those seeking a bold and flavorful culinary adventure. Another standout dish is the Soft Paper Calamari, featuring calamari stir-fried with black Thai pepper—a delicious and well-balanced creation.

Moving on to the mains, the Large Salmon Steak is a treat for those who love dense and succulent salmon cuts. The Seafood Risotto, while some might find the taste a bit mild, is a matter of personal preference. Some may appreciate the delicate flavors, especially with the abundance of fresh seafood.

For dessert, the sweet treats are truly captivating and worth indulging in. The Italian sodas, like the Lychee Cooler and Baba Summer Cool, offer a refreshing touch to complement the meal.

After enjoying the delightful meal, walking back to the Habita Seaview building, you’ll notice the beautifully lit surroundings. The ambiance is carefully crafted, providing a visually pleasing and inviting atmosphere for guests.

In the morning, for those who wake up early, catching the sunrise by the beach is a must. It’s an incredibly beautiful sight that should not be missed, adding a touch of natural splendor to your experience. It’s a perfect way to start the day without missing out on the beauty of the surroundings.

Breakfast at Baba Beach Club Hua Hin in the Habita Seaview zone offers a wide variety of high-quality options that cater to every taste. Some items on the menu are delightful surprises, such as mini cakes served in small portions, reminiscent of the delicious birthday cakes from childhood. Local pastries are also available, providing a taste of home.

The a la carte menu features several tempting options, and one highly recommended dish is the Egg Benedict with Truffle Bacon—truly a delightful choice. The buffet spread is extensive, including a variety of dishes that are impossible to resist. Overall, the breakfast experience at Baba Beach Club Hua Hin Habita Seaview is undoubtedly a 5-star treat.

Review of the Nattilus Restaurant at Kundala Beach Resort.

I’m going to Hua Hin and want to find delicious food to enjoy in a beachfront setting, beautifully decorated in a café style. Why not try Nautilus Restaurant or the Nattilus Beach Cafe-style restaurant by the Khao Takiab beach? Besides offering a diverse menu, it looks appealing both in terms of food presentation and ambiance.

Nautilus Restaurant is an all-day dining venue that operates throughout the day. The cuisine highlights a fusion of flavors, featuring both international and Thai dishes, as well as offering set picnic options. Located by the seaside, it provides a refreshing sea breeze and a light, comfortable atmosphere. If you express a desire for a beachside picnic, the staff will promptly arrange and bring the prepared meal to you. Additionally, even guests not staying at the hotel are welcome to enjoy the services. It’s advisable to make reservations in advance for a smoother experience.

This set picnic option is definitely a great value. It’s not just about emphasizing aesthetics for photography purposes; the focus is on providing a substantial and satisfying meal for two people. Priced at 550 baht per set, it offers a generous amount of light and filling food. The optimal time for a picnic experience is around 5 PM when you can enjoy sitting by the beach without the heat, with a view of Khao Takiab and a pleasant atmosphere as the sun starts to set.

If you want to have a sincere dining experience, head straight to the main building. The restaurant is open-air, providing panoramic views of the sea. It follows a beachfront and restaurant lounge café style, creating an incredibly relaxed atmosphere. The décor is themed in shades of blue and white, enhancing the overall chic and cool ambiance.

Today, we tried a new menu to welcome the rainy season. It’s a flavorful dish with a touch of herbs, featuring “Grilled Pork with Cha Phlu Leaves” priced at 220 baht. This unique dish wraps grilled pork with Cha Phlu leaves, giving the pork a tender texture and a delightful aroma of the leaves. Enjoy it with dipping sauce and noodles. Next up is the “Tofu with Assorted Condiments,” a delicious choice for those who love egg tofu. The well-rounded taste comes at a price of 220 baht. For seafood lovers, we recommend the “Stir-Fried Seafood in Chili Paste,” which is both spicy and aromatic with herbs. A generous portion is available for 290 baht. The “Boiled Clear Soup with Tender Pork” offers a similar satisfying spiciness, priced at 250 baht. To conclude the meal, we indulged in the popular “Mango Sticky Rice” priced at 130 baht, a delightful way to end the dining experience at Nautilus.

The beauty of a drink like young coconut coffee lies in its subtlety. The taste is not overly sweet, allowing the delicate flavor of young coconut to shine through. It features the fragrance of young coconut with added coconut flesh, providing a refreshing experience. If you’re not a coffee drinker, Nautilus Restaurant offers a variety of Italian sodas with different flavors to choose from. Alternatively, you can opt for a fresh and invigorating yogurt smoothie for a delightful beverage option.

The restaurant operates from 07:00 to 23:00 with the last order taken at 22:00.
For advance reservations, please contact 032 536 800 or 065 146 5656.

Review of Novotel Phuket Vintage Park, a 4-star accommodation located on Patong Beach.

Patong is the ultimate classic destination that anyone visiting Phuket must explore. Staying here offers convenience in every aspect – from dining, shopping, to the long and expansive white sandy beach. The fine and detailed sand is particularly beautiful during the sunset. Choosing to stay here allows you to experience the full flavor of Phuket. For today’s hotel recommendation, Novotel Phuket Vintage Park in the Patong Beach area is highly recommended. It is a 4-star accommodation with a large swimming pool and a variety of activities. Staying here ensures a comfortable and enjoyable experience without any dull moments.

Novotel Phuket Vintage Park is located in the heart of Patong. Despite not being directly on the beach, it is conveniently within a 10-minute walk to Patong Beach. The surroundings are filled with restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and clothing stores, making the stroll to the beach a delightful experience. The accommodation itself features a Thai-Contemporary architectural style, with a warm and charming welcome from the staff upon entering. When it comes to service and convenience, you can trust the Novotel brand.

The accommodation starts with a Superior Room, which is 33 square meters in size, making it a comfortable and affordable starting option. The price is charming and affordable, considering it provides all the amenities expected from a 4-star hotel. Guests can choose between a single or double bed, and the room offers a view of the swimming pool.

We consider the Deluxe Room to be highly worthwhile. This room is spacious, covering 38 square meters, and offers amenities similar to the Superior Room, but with the addition of a bathtub. The room provides a view of the swimming pool, just like the Superior Room.

This room is the most popular – the Deluxe Pool Access. With just a few steps down from the bed, you can directly jump into the pool. There is a terrace connecting to the swimming pool, and you can relax by sitting there and enjoying the poolside atmosphere. Inside the room, there is a sense of privacy. Even though it’s close to the swimming pool where people may come to swim, you won’t hear any loud noises from outside. The room is equipped with a bathtub and a comfortable, soft bed.

The main swimming pool is spacious, covering an area of 2,000 square meters, providing ample space for enjoyable activities. It features separate zones for children and adults, as well as a waterfall curtain.

For breakfast, we opted for the floating breakfast experience (additional charges apply). It offers a blend of American breakfast and Asian styles.

To complete the enjoyment, ordering a drink at the Velvet Pool Bar will add to the pleasure.

For dinner, we dined at The Square, the international restaurant of Novotel Vintage Park. We ordered Thai dishes, and the Thai flavors were truly authentic – from the seasoning to the quality of ingredients. Everything was delicious.

Novotel Phuket Vintage Park has fitness facilities for health enthusiasts, such as a fitness center.

And it’s also a family-friendly hotel, suitable for a relaxing stay with your family. Besides the children’s pool, there is also a Kids Club.

However, for those feeling weary, the Inbalance Spa is a must-visit. This spa, representing both the oriental and Thai influences, offers a comprehensive experience. The spa utilizes products derived from Thai herbs known for their skin-nourishing properties. The aromatic scents not only contribute to physical well-being but also aid in mental relaxation. Stepping into the spa, with the combination of music, fragrances, and ambiance, assures a truly rejuvenating experience. It’s a perfect way to unwind and guarantee a good night’s sleep after a day of exploration and activities.

Pranburi Beachfront Pool Villas, a luxurious villa in a coconut grove, Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas.

Anyone who loves staying at Pool Villas must read this review. This is a villa that I believe anyone who has tried staying here would want to come back to. Located on the quiet beachfront of Pranburi, Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas offers a serene atmosphere with a small road separating the villa from the sea. It’s not overly quiet here; in the evenings, this area comes alive with street food reminiscent of a pedestrian street. People gather to enjoy the sea view under the shades during the windy sunset. Whether you’re looking for something to eat, relax, or go for a run, there’s plenty of vibrant options to explore.

Our villa is nestled amidst the surrounding trees, complemented by a solid perimeter wall that acts as a barrier, providing us with a private and secluded retreat. What sets Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas apart from other pool villas I’ve stayed in is the size of the villa itself. The total area of the villa is an impressive 248 square meters, resembling more of a standalone house. This spaciousness doesn’t just apply to the villa alone but encompasses the entire area. The highlight is undoubtedly the generously sized swimming pool, accompanied by a waterside pavilion that comfortably accommodates 4-5 for a relaxed terrace lounging. The relaxation extends to the outdoor-style bathtub surrounded by the pool, offering a picturesque view. It feels like soaking in the midst of nature. The atmosphere is serene, tranquil, and extremely private.

Let’s take a look inside the villa. Although not excessively large, the villa is comfortably utilized. The centrally positioned bed provides the utmost comfort. The bathroom is decorated in a tropical style, with an impressive touch being the outdoor shower. It’s not often that we get the chance to shower amidst the natural surroundings like this, and it’s incredibly refreshing, not to mention the added benefit of complete privacy.

For those planning to relax exclusively within the villa, you can order afternoon tea to be served in the villa itself. The tea set includes various pastries, brownies, and delightful treats. However, the highlight is the crispy-fried mantis shrimp, a fresh and crunchy delight served with crispy noodles. It’s a perfect light snack to satisfy your hunger before dinner.

Floating breakfast can also be ordered to enjoy by the private poolside.

The atmosphere within the hotel area is lush and refreshing, akin to strolling through a tropical water lily garden. Surrounded by tropical gardens, there are plenty of picturesque spots, with the most popular being the narrow pathways flanked by tall, swaying coconut trees. These pathways create a long shaded walkway, offering sun protection throughout the day.

The Main Swimming Pool is located at the forefront of the area, adjacent to the beach. The pool is spacious enough and tends not to be too busy. This might be because guests prefer swimming in their private villa pools. In this zone, there is a fitness center and leisure seating areas with a relaxing atmosphere and a view of the sea. In the morning, if you wake up early and head to the pool or fitness center, you can enjoy the sunrise view.

Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas is only a short distance away from the sea, just like this. In the evening, it gets lively to a reasonable extent, and when the tide goes down in the evening, you can see the beach. It’s perfect for water activities.

The Luna la Pran restaurant is a dining establishment from Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas, located right by the sea. Guests from outside are also welcome to dine there.

The menu offers a diverse selection with an emphasis on Thai fusion cuisine, although Italian options are also available. Today, we’re focusing on Thai cuisine. A highly recommended dish is the ‘Yum Kung Cha-buay Fu,’ which is incredibly delicious. It starts with crispy-fried shrimp topped with a flavorful green mango salad dressing that is both tangy and sweet. The stir-fried noodles with squid ink are outstanding, featuring fresh seafood. Simple dishes like Basil Stir-fry and large chunks of Grilled Salmon with dill are also satisfying. For dessert, the Pineapple Sorbet is a bit challenging to find but delightful. The combination of shaved ice and pineapple is refreshingly sweet and tangy, complementing the overall dining experience.

The evening lights from our villa are enchanting, and in the morning, we get to witness the sunrise gently emerging.

The breakfast offers a delightful variety with plenty of choices. The taste is not overly intense, which suits morning meals well. There’s an international buffet with a diverse selection of pastries, fresh vegetables, and fruits.

After finishing breakfast, the trip is almost coming to an end. Taking a leisurely stroll for a bit, then heading back to enjoy some more swimming at the villa before checking out. For those eagerly awaiting great promotions from Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas, you can stay tuned for updates on the channels provided below. There are ongoing promotions from time to time.

Joyful when visiting Samui, a trip to the clear sea and white sandy beach at Peace Resort Samui.

If you want to experience a private trip to Samui, consider checking out Bo Phut Beach. This area offers plenty of luxurious hotels at affordable prices. The key highlight is the serene atmosphere, crystal-clear waters, long white sandy beaches, and a comfortable lack of overcrowding. It’s perfect for a truly relaxing getaway. There are also many excellent restaurants, and the pedestrian street is conveniently close by. Everything you need is within reach. A highly recommended accommodation for your stay is the Peace Resort Samui, or Phis Resort Samui.

Peace Resort Samui is an eco-friendly resort that seamlessly blends with nature, offering a tranquil retreat by the sea, sandy beaches, and lush gardens. It provides a serene and private atmosphere with a lengthy beachfront. On clear days, the sky is bright and the sea takes on a crystalline blue hue, creating a picturesque setting.

A lobby at the forefront welcomes us, adorned with a tropical ambiance that makes us feel like we’ve arrived at the sea. The beautiful ocean and relaxing days await us, with a fresh and clear atmosphere ready to embrace our stay.

Go straight for the top, it’s the best choice if the room is available, especially for the Beachfront Pool Villa. This type of accommodation is situated right on the beachfront – step out and you’re on the beach. It comes with a private swimming pool, a spacious terrace with a full sea view, and a generous living space of 200 square meters. Ideal for couples or families, it can accommodate up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. Even lying on the bed, you can enjoy a sea view. The room is decorated in a marine style, and what we love most about the Beachfront Pool Villa is the panoramic view of the sea. This is truly a dreamy seaside retreat.

The smaller villa is cozy and intimate, but incredibly warm and comfortable. With a size of 120 square meters, it is perfect for a couple. The remaining space is well-utilized, featuring a private pool surrounded by lush greenery, providing a sense of seclusion from the outside world.

Review at Villa by the Beach, Seaside Atmosphere, Coral Tree Villa Hua Hin.

If you’re looking for a quiet and private villa-style accommodation in Hua Hin, look no further than Coral Tree Villa Hua Hin. This seaside accommodation is close to everything you need, situated right by the beach and in proximity to the vibrant Hua Hin night market, Cicada Market, and numerous renowned cafes and restaurants. What’s more, the hotel’s food is delicious. Let me show you just how delightful Coral Tree Villa Hua Hin is.

Coral Tree Villa Hua Hin is a resort-style accommodation where each room is designed as a villa, providing a high level of privacy. The resort’s land extends along the seaside, offering a vast stretch of coastline. The beach is relatively secluded with few people, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment for water activities. Each villa is surrounded by lush greenery, adding a serene touch to the surroundings.

Upon arrival, you will find the parking area and a buggy service is available for check-in. Today’s accommodation is the Pool Villa, featuring a private pool surrounded by a fence, allowing you to comfortably wear swimwear and take photos without worry. The interior of the villa is a well-proportioned 80 square meters, with designated areas for the bathroom, sleeping area, sofa, and balcony.

You can order afternoon tea to enjoy in the room or take it by the poolside, which is a cool option. The pastries are delicious, and what’s unique is that they include mango with sweet fish sauce, adding an interesting and tasty touch.

The walk to the swimming pool is not far at all. The pool is located in front, adjacent to the dining area, and it is right by the sea. The swimming pool is very inviting, with plenty of photo opportunities. There are both a kids’ pool and an adult pool. Swimming in the cool sea breeze is truly delightful.

The sea in front of the beach is perfect for playing. The beach is free of sharp rocks, allowing for enjoyable water activities. The small, charming seashells along the shoreline add to the overall cuteness of the beach.

A small beachside bar with a trendy beach cafe style.

In the evening, I highly recommend trying the absolute must-try dish – the seaside BBQ pork. It’s incredibly satisfying with fresh seafood, delicious dipping sauces, and the pork is cooked to perfection. We also indulged in a set meal consisting of 2-3 additional dishes. The butter-roasted lobster was particularly excellent. It’s a great combination of ambiance, quality, and value for money that you definitely shouldn’t miss.

The accommodation offers two additional room types: the Premier Sea View Villa, spacious at 40 square meters, providing a partial sea view. Though not directly facing the sea, it’s still in close proximity to both the sea and the swimming pool. This villa is situated in the midst of a comfortable garden, ensuring a relaxing stay.

This is the Seafront Grand Villa, right on the beachfront. The villa offers a spacious 90 square meters, with a wide terrace providing a panoramic view of the sea. Emphasizing privacy, the villa is surrounded by high walls. Inside, the villa is fully equipped with all amenities, including a Jacuzzi tub for added luxury.

The breakfast is just right in terms of portion, neither too much nor too little, but exceptionally delicious. You can continuously order from the à la carte menu, ensuring a satisfying morning meal.

Ended the Hua Hin trip in a happy mode. The accommodation was excellent, located by the sea, with charming service. The place itself is lovely too – Coral Tree Villa Hua Hin.

Art and Culture of Lanna to the Ultimate Riverside Retreat at Ping Cross Chiang Mai Riverside

Without saying, it’s well-known that Cross hotels provide an impressive experience for savvy travelers. However, judging from mere photographs may not convey the full essence compared to experiencing it firsthand. That’s the inspiration behind the Chiang Mai trip and the delightful stay at Cross Chiang Mai Riverside. The accommodation seamlessly blends the chic and contemporary Cross style with the rich cultural heritage of Chiang Mai, creating a perfectly balanced and charming retreat. It’s the perfect destination for a blissful and modern getaway.

Cross Chiang Mai Riverside welcomes us with cool brick walls that we’ve seen passing through the city walls of Chiang Mai. Upon entering through these walls, we encounter a lobby with playful light and shadow designs. The incredibly welcoming staff greets us with a personalized welcome drink, complete with our names written on a chocolate. This is the distinctive welcome signature of Cross, capturing the hearts of discerning travelers.

After completing the smooth check-in process, we walk through a small corridor adorned with decorative mirrors to allow natural light to filter through. Suddenly, our gaze catches a glimpse of something beyond the brick walls. Little did we know that behind those walls lies a beautiful garden within the hotel premises. At the heart of the garden stands a large tree with sprawling branches, providing shade over the entire area. Next to it, the traditional Lanna-style pond is nearby. This pond, historically used by local Lanna communities, has been beautifully restored, adding to its charm and making it a captivating sight.

Inside, there are lounge areas designed as cozy sitting rooms, complete with views of the beautiful garden. These spaces provide a relaxing atmosphere where guests can unwind while enjoying the picturesque scenery of the lush garden.

A bit further along, there’s a larger corridor housing classic red-colored vintage cars, serving as an iconic setting. This pathway leads to the riverside restaurant, situated along the Ping River. It’s another picturesque spot perfect for capturing beautiful photos.

The Oxygen Dining Room, an all-day dining restaurant in a glasshouse style, offers a spacious and airy atmosphere beneath the shade of tamarind trees, providing a breathtaking view of the Ping River. It’s an ideal spot to enjoy afternoon tea, with each pastry being a delectable delight. For those who have never experienced it, or for pastry enthusiasts, trying the various cakes is a must. The set menu is highly recommended for two, offering great value.

The Grand Suite River View is the second-highest tier of accommodation at Cross Chiang Mai Riverside, and we absolutely loved our stay in this room. It offers a high level of privacy, providing stunning views of the river and the lush trees. The balcony is incredibly spacious, making it a perfect spot to relax. The room itself is comfortably spacious, featuring modern and stylish design with playful lighting and shadow elements, which is a signature design characteristic of Cross.

In the room, the welcoming touch of Cross is evident with the adorable welcome amenity – a personalized Mocktail kit complete with recipes and instructions. The kit is well-equipped, and to add to the delightful surprise, there is an additional complimentary box of treats provided.

The Top Rooms, limited to only two, are in high demand. The Pool Suite features a private, elongated pool set amidst the lush green garden. The accommodation ensures privacy with a natural barrier of trees serving as a fence, creating a sense of strolling through a personal garden. The room is elegantly decorated with a contemporary touch, particularly the bathroom, where the romantic and sensual atmosphere is enhanced by the colored lighting. Additionally, the room boasts a bathtub for a luxurious bathing experience.

The swimming pool is located on the rooftop of the building, providing a delightful atmosphere with a cool breeze throughout. Before the pool closes at 1 AM, I recommend trying a nighttime swim. The pool is adorned with starry lights, and when turned on during the night, it creates a mesmerizing ambiance, making it feel like you’re swimming under a twinkling sky.

The fitness center is also located on the rooftop, just like the swimming pool. This setup provides a unique and enjoyable experience, allowing you to work out while enjoying the scenic views from the rooftop.

Exploring the Ping River on a kayak is also a highly enjoyable activity, and it’s offered by the resort as a complimentary service. You just need to inform the staff in advance. During the rainy season, the water may take on a slightly reddish-brown color, as seen in the picture, but generally, they assure that the water is not as turbid.

During the day, the hotel takes advantage of natural light and shadows to create a beautiful play of light in its surroundings. Meanwhile, at night, the hotel impressively orchestrates artificial lighting and shadows, creating a captivating and memorable atmosphere.

In the evening, upon returning to the room, the hotel provides a turn-down service. Along with this service, they offer a delightful touch – a serving of ‘Khao Soi’ and a sleep mask placed neatly on the bed.

The breakfast at Cross Chiang Mai Riverside is an unforgettable Champagne Breakfast Buffet. It offers a diverse and high-quality selection, freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The dishes are served one after another, and the buffet includes a variety of options like mini salad bar, yogurt, and a fruit station. We chose to sit outside, captivated by the enchanting riverside garden atmosphere at Cross Chiang Mai Riverside.

Your Chiang Mai trip sounds absolutely delightful, and I’m thrilled that Cross Chiang Mai Riverside played a significant role in making it special. Recommending it to friends and acquaintances is a fantastic idea. Before you head back, it’s wonderful that you’re leaving with a small and adorable gift – a framed picture along with a photo taken in the hotel. It’s a lovely way to cherish the memories of your happy moments at Cross Chiang Mai Riverside.

Travel to Chiang Mai, stay in Lanna style, sip tea and enjoy the scenery at Siripanna Villa Resort and Spa.

Siripanna Villa Resort and Spa is a Lanna-style accommodation that perfectly reflects the charm of the Lanna region. Conveniently located in the heart of Chiang Mai, it offers a delightful blend of amenities and diverse activities, making it a place where visitors may find it hard to leave. In this review, we will take you on a journey to explore Siripanna Villa Resort and Spa from every impressive perspective.

For those visiting for the first time, it might be surprising to discover that Siripanna is even more expansive than anticipated. With a vast area spanning several acres, it serves as the backdrop for the hotel-style accommodations, private villas, two swimming pools, dining areas, and multiple rice paddies. The lobby is elegantly adorned with teak wood and golden accents, showcasing a distinctive style that unmistakably embodies the charm of Lanna Chiang Mai.

The activities here offer a variety, especially for food enthusiasts. If you arrive in the afternoon, don’t miss out on the dim sum buffet priced at just 239 Baht per person net at the Saliwansyan Restaurant. This price includes beverages and desserts. It’s incredibly worth it; the quality and taste surpass the price by far. Our favorite dishes are the shrimp dumplings, hagao, rad na noodles, and egg noodles. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for those who appreciate high-quality food at an affordable price.

After enjoying a satisfying meal, we decided to take a leisurely stroll and explore the rice fields. It was a delightful experience, especially as we had the opportunity to witness various stages of rice cultivation, including plowing the fields, planting seedlings, and harvesting, depending on the season. The guests staying at the resort even have the chance to try their hand at rice planting (additional charges may apply). The area boasts ancient Lanna-style granaries that are well-preserved and carefully maintained, adding to the charm of the surroundings.

You can indeed order Afternoon Tea to be enjoyed in your room, or if you prefer, you can opt to have it under the traditional Lanna-style granary while enjoying the view of the rice fields. The delightful set typically includes pastries, cakes, and a selection of hot and cold beverages. The delicious treats are presented with care, providing a delightful experience whether you choose to savor them in the comfort of your room or amidst the scenic beauty of the rice fields.

Your accommodation is a Deluxe Lanna Plunge Pool Access room, exquisitely decorated in the Lanna style. The interior lighting is designed to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere, providing a sense of tranquility. This room comes with a terrace that seamlessly connects to a plunge pool. With just a few steps outside your room, you can enjoy a refreshing swim. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, adding to the luxurious features of the room.

If you desire a room with a beautiful view of pristine, clean, and bright white tones, I would recommend the Deluxe Gallery room. This accommodation is situated in the building at the back, requiring a short walk from the main facilities. However, the upside is that it offers a refreshing and eye-pleasing view, making it a comfortable and pleasant choice.

The Royal Lanna Villa is a villa-style accommodation set in a tranquil and private garden. The interior is thoughtfully designed with clear delineation of living spaces. It encompasses a private garden area, a relaxation pavilion, a bedroom, and a spacious bathroom featuring a centrally placed round bathtub. This setup provides a perfect blend of privacy and luxury, making your stay comfortable and serene.

The atmosphere of the hotel is pleasantly shaded and cool, despite the potentially hot weather. Overall, the surroundings are refreshing, thanks to the lush greenery and trees planted throughout the area. Even in warm weather, the ambiance remains comfortable, offering a cool and inviting environment for guests to enjoy.

The hotel features two main swimming pools, with one located near the villa zone. The pool you described has a magical ambiance, surrounded by lush greenery and strategically designed to provide privacy. It resembles a lagoon-style pool, offering both Jacuzzi zones and shallow areas for children, creating a serene and enjoyable atmosphere for guests walking by or taking a dip.

Another pool, situated close to the SLoft building, is slightly smaller. This pool area offers games for guests to enjoy, especially in the lobby area. During the evening, this pool is adorned with colorful lights, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The rooms in this building focus on a modern and trendy style, incorporating a touch of loft design for a chic and contemporary feel.

The Saliwansyan Restaurant is an all-day dining venue with a luxurious and elegant atmosphere, although the prices are reasonable. The flavors are delicious. For breakfast, they offer a buffet line featuring popular Northern Thai dishes such as Northern-style omelets with fermented pork, young chili dip, grilled pork belly, pickled bamboo shoots, and rice porridge. In addition, there are also lines serving Central Thai and Western dishes.

Luxurious, affordable, and truly existent at Siripanna Villa Resort and Spa.
