Eastward, facing the sun lies a special place
It is a beautiful place, but please be prepared for the long journey ahead. It took us about 3.5 hours from Bangkok to Hua Hin, and more than 4 hours back to Bangkok (due to traffic jam). If you want to avoid taking the van ride, then you may want to consider taking an internal flight from Bangkok to Hua Hin airport. From there, it is just a mere 20-30 mins ride to the resort.
Unique Quality: As for rooms, if you can afford it, just take the Pool suite. Forget about the Ocean View Suite. The pool suite guarantees you a view facing the sea with no obstruction, total privacy, with a hammock, sun tan deck chair, plus a personal dip pool of your own. The Ocean view Suite does not necessarily comes with a personal dip pool, only 1 suite has it I think. Luckily for us, some guest bailed out last minute, and we got an upgrade to Pool Suite for 2 nights. There are no bath tubs in both the Ocean View or Pool Suite where I stayed though.
