"Great hotel, not far to walk to the beach. Good breakfast. Lovely large room with private jacuzzi overlooking the swimming pool. Plenty of bars & restaurants on the doorstep. "
"You can't really go wrong with an Amari hotel, and the Amari Hua Hin is no exception.
The location is a little bit further out then some of the other big name hotels, but it's easy enough to get to the night markets / shopping centres.
The suite we stayed in was a good size and perfect for a family of 4. Some elements of the room were looking like they were ready for a refresh (damage to the desk, bedside table etc...), but nothing you wouldn't expect from a year or guest wear and tear.
Breakfast was the same quality experience you'd expect from any 5 star hotel (maybe not quite up to the standard of hotels like Dusit Thani or similar), with a huge choice of local and international options.
The pool is a good size and there always seemed to be plenty of seats / loungers to choose from. One small noteworthy comment would be that the pool bar staff didn't seem interested in walking around offering or asking if you wanted refreshments, which we did feel was a shame, as it something we've come to expect from staying at high end hotels in Thailand, including the Amari in Phuket.
My wife and I both agreed that we would consider staying at the Amari Hua Hin again, although the rate and availability of other local hotels would definitely sway our decision."
"Excellent pool area adjacent to the beach. Very spacious and well laid out reception area. Very good choice at breakfast with plenty of inside and outside seating. I had a twin room which hasn't been refurbished and was a little tired and not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel"
"Excellent deal for the price and location. This spot is less than 1 minute from the Hua Hin train station and square in the middle of town near all the activities, like beach and night market."
