Hotel Pantai di Cha Am

We booked a sea view villa which opened onto the garden with a small patio and 2 Adirondack chairs and table. It overlooked the pool and then a small, attractive wall to the beach and sea. The beach was lovely and clean with mostly sift white sand. The room was plenty big enough for us with a huge king bed, cleaning daily (if you remember to put the sign outside the door, however the lady came and checked with us on day 2 to make sure we were aware)! The shower was hot but we never got hot water from the sink - it didn't bother me as it wasn't really cold water but the hubby needed to shave! Clean towels and beach towels daily. Free water bottles and coke too. There was shower gel and shampoo in the shower but no hand cleanser at sink so bring a travel sized bottle for convenience only. The A/c was excellent!! The hotel offers breakfast included at the Cafe they operate, I read the reviews and I think there is plenty on offer as long as you're not expecting a huge unlimited buffet!! The basics of breads, jams, yoghurt, fresh fruit, waffles, 2 types of cereal and milk with eggs of all kinds cooked to order. In addition to fried rice, noodles, chinese/Asian style chicken dish hot dogs and warmed ham slices plus salad bits and porridge. The various coffees are from a machine with only very sweet milk tea available. Ginger tea bags and lemon tea bags were available so we just bought a small box at the local 7-11 store 5 minutes to walk away. There are 2 seafood restaurants a few minutes walk along the beach, the food was really good and freshly cooked to order-we preferred the first one (don't let the table cloths and state of menu put you off though, the people are lovely and everything is good including the prices (you can eat much cheaper nearer to the city but then you need to take a Grab car(like an Uber, download the app). I really liked this hotel and, yes I would stay again for longer, given what I know now about transport, location etc. This hotel doesn't really have many eateries within walking distance, the Cafe closes at 7pm so you need to plan accordingly. A Grab costs about BHT180 (200 with tip) and takes around 20 mins to get to Cicada Market as an example. You could get the green public tuk tuk for BHT15ish from the market to the Hua hin airport stop and then a Grab but we haven't tried it yet, maybe next week from our next hotel. The pool was fab for cooling down or for lap swimming at about 12-15m long. I gave 4 for location and 4 for facilities but only because there's no entertainment or restaurant at the hotel but I like that, it's the kind of place I like to stay as its peaceful and idyllic and away from the crowds.

Stayed at The Palayana Hua Hin and had a relaxing overall experience. The room was spacious—comfortable even for triple sharing. The environment is a highlight: lush, well-curated gardens, a peaceful atmosphere, and easy access to the beach. Breakfast offered a good spread, and the staff were consistently polite and helpful. On the downside, some room fixtures feel dated and show their age. Soundproofing could be improved—we could hear a large group arriving late at night which was very noisy and disruptive for quite a while. The bathroom flooring is also quite slippery—non-slip mats would help prevent accidents. Overall, still a good and restful stay.

We had such a wonderful time spending the holiday with a family friend. The hotel grounds is huge and there's plenty of things to do. Room was lovely.. we had a great view of the pool and the beach. The aircon was very powerful, perfect for the summer heat. Huge breakfast selection, well organized. There are also different restaurants to choose from for lunch and dinner. There is one huge pool area + kids pool + garden pool. Their own private beach is very well kept and we had a beautiful time playing in the sand in the afternoon. Waves tend to become huge but it was quite relaxing to listen to. My favorite part was the activities they provide the guests. There is something to do everyday of the week, and most of them are free. We tried the sound meditation and tree hugging after breakfast which were both quite therapeutic. 5 stars from us!!

Great atmosphere, a great place to spend a couple of nights for a couple since it creates a feeling of being special. The heart shaped tree is the special touch, really great for pictures. The restaurant is also excellent with both western and Thai cuisine.

“Don’t judge the book by its cover.” This quote can explain everything here at the hotel in a GREEN FLAG alert! :) First look might be obsolete of non-modern. Gradually was fascinated by overall experiences: wide room with great durability and well-prepared amenities. Breakfast buffet line was MVP! Pinned this place for possible next trips for sure!

The resort itself is really stunning, lovely gardens and pools, nice beach, the room was comfortable but could need updating but was clean. The breakfast had a lot of choices. The letdowns for us were, many times we went to get towels by the pool, they were all gone and I eventually complained about this and was told someone would get back to me, they never did. The biggest inconvenience was they had an Indian wedding on for 3 days and basically, this took over just about the whole resort with many areas closed to accommodate this event, we can understand 1 day maybe but this went on and on, a 3 day event, the music, so loud, the screeching sounds, it was just too much, most of the day and night until late, we chose this resort to relax and unwind but it did really interfere with our stay, we would go back but not if these events took place again while staying. The lady who looked after our room was absolutely lovely and works so hard, her name was Phatcharaporn. The management here need to think of their other guests and not just the events they hold or they are going to lose customers, they gave us a very small credit toward some food or drink but honestly, it was a slap in the face, you can do better guys, next time when people book, let them know immediately if there is an event on, so they can make other arrangements elsewhere. Sorry but this really left a bad feeling for us and I know we were not the only ones, talking with some other guests

Pros: Family room is squeaky clean and bed including extra bed are so comfortable. The room smells nice. Water pressure is good but temperature oscillates between warm and cold. Reception is very efficient  on check in and check out. They are well- trained! Location is the reason why we came here twice because it was right on the beach, surrounded  by various restaurants, street food and a convenient store. Location  is very convenient with parking.  Fair: Breakfast in quality, quantity and variety. Some(4)  ants from the wall came on the pillow and bit my neck and face.  Cons: Facility extremely limited; 2 elevators which are old and slow. The area where we waited for the elevators on the lower floors and lobby smelled like sewage water at times. Pools were small and water was not clear.

This is our favorite place to go to with our kids in Hua Hin, we've always had a pretty good experiene regardless of the room we'are booking. The staff is well trained to pay attention to your needs and are motivated and friendly. The Kids always love playing on the inflatable bouncing islands though some years they are better maintained than others. Regardless the kids large water fountain/bubble is always popular and not too hot in the afternoon as it's in shade of trees and building. Food prices are a little high within the hotel. The breakfast is very nice and offers a great variety for all. However, with 2 kids that don't really eat too much it's not something we opt for anymore in our later visits and instead seek breakfast options outside. There is a pretty nice fish&stay that offers great breakfast options nearby. Location is a little off the path so it's better if you have your own transportation if you don't want to be stuck with hotel options only.

The Regent Cha-am We booked a Deluxe room including breakfast. We were not expecting much as the price was really good but, what a fabulous surprise when we found it was a suite with a lovely welcoming plate of fruit and cookies! I began to wonder if theyd mixed us up with some - march 2026 honeymooners somewhere!!!! I wasn't expecting how big the place was with 2 huge balconies each big enough for sunbeds and a table!! It's own kitchen, lounge, king sized bed and ensuite and office. -The pool is a beautiful, sparkling clean, heart-shaped affair with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas as shade is definitely required! The pool along one side must be about 30m+ so it was great for lap swimming as well as chilling out!!! -Beautifully landscaped and next to the sea, the only drawback is that the beach is almost non existent most of the time and while we were there the red flag was up as the sea was quite rough with the wind. The pool more than made up for it. -Breakfast is buffet style like many of these resort places with cereal, pastries, fruit, cooked asian foods and western style ham, crispy bacon, eggs cooked to order, toast and jam. My only criticism is the hot foods, not cooked to order, were luke warm. Don't bother with tea, it's weak and tasteless but the coffee machine does a good variety and there's hot milk to top up with. -The bar in the lobby does happy hour 2 for 1 early evening. -The hotel is around 25km from hua hin centre but a 5 min walk just outside the hotel is a road ”village” where there are a choice of local Thai restaurants, bars, tailors, massage/mani/pedicure places plus a useful 7-11 for essentials. All the restaurants we tried were excellent. They may look empty but will cook to order at all times and the prices are really cheap. The bed was really comfy and the room was serviced daily with clean towels and the usual stuff. -Pool towels were available by the pool and changed as often as you please. -All The staff were friendly and welcoming and most spoke very good English. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a quiet, laid back holiday at this time of year. We might have to return next year!!!!

Love the location, walk to the front and you got the beach. The staffs can be a bit more nicer, the receptionists. The breakfast was filling with varieties of options.
