It was amazing and strange to see that the hotel lobby didn't have any walls, just a roof and way back a reception desk among huge green tropical plants in big pots.
...and of course after checking in and moving to our thai-house in the garden - a tropical rain soacked us completely, lol!
Once again, my sister-in-law booked us rooms at a fancy place. I usually prefer the quaint, quiet places, but the Marriott turned out to be rather nice thanks to its lush gardens.
The building sits in the middle of the property, and once you pass the counter, there are nice gazebos and gardens in a large inner area. The beachfront rooms are in a low-rise building beyond. There is a large pool with nice landscaping around it. The pool has a jet-area where you can sit and relax as well as a small water slide at the adjacent kiddy pool.
The breakfast buffet was good, and you can sit under Thai-style pavilions with garden views (see additional photos). We did not eat other meals here, so I cannot speak for the restaurants within (my brother-in-law always has to go to some special restaurant a drive away).
The beach was alright, but nothing special. It's not very wide, and the pony riders are there offering rides to tourists. The water is not clear.
The Marriott chain is now well established in Thailand and I have stayed in most of their hotels in the country (4 actually). This is not as grand as the "JWs" in Bangkok or Phuket, it is more or less the same as the Pattaya Marriott with regard to the rooms.
The swimming pool has been rebuilt to match the style of the pools in Pattaya and Phuket. For me the thing that makes this better than the Pattaya Marriott is that it is right on the beach so that you can either do your sun bathing by the pool or overlooking the beach.
The hotel is a short walk from the centre of Hua Hin.
Standard of food was very good when I was there and I thought the breakfast buffet was one of the best I have seen.
Note for Marriott Reward members - there is NOT an Executive Lounge at this hotel.
The swimming pool is quite deep, the "shallow" end is about 1.6 metres, but there is a children’s pool that adjoins the main pool.
The Hua Hin Marriott Resort and Spa is located right on the beach. It has some rooms which face the sea. A Thai restaurant, Sala Thai, on the beach front offers Thai cuisine while enjoying the sea breeze. If you fancy a spa treatment, the Spa offers a wide variety of treatments ranging from US$40 upwards.
I like the swimming pool - it has a sunken bar where you can have cocktails. If you prefer to swim in the sea or suntan, the hotel has a private beach.
Directions: The best way to get to Hua Hin is to charter a chauffer driven car from Bangkok Airport. A Toyota Altis with driver will cost around B2500 each way and is an economical way of getting there if you have a party of two or more persons.
