"Family is a safe haven, a source of warmth and encouragement, even in times of hardship. It replenishes our spirits and empowers us when we feel vulnerable."
This review details a family trip to the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa, a delightful hotel in Hua Hin, Cha Am, that transformed our vacation into a joyful and memorable experience.
Before our recent stay at the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa, we had visited the hotel many times before. We started coming when we were young children, and now that we are teenagers, we still enjoy returning. The Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is a family-friendly hotel that offers a variety of services, amenities, and fun activities. This makes it a great place for families to spend time together and enjoy a variety of activities. In fact, you could easily spend your entire vacation at the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa without ever leaving the property. There is plenty to keep you entertained, from swimming and sunbathing to participating in the many resort activities.
This trip, we brought our family to stay at the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa for 3 days and 2 nights. We only went out to walk the Hua Hin Walking Street once. The rest of the time, we spent eating, sleeping, playing, and going in and out of the Kid's World, jumping into the water, playing on the slides, lying on the beach, eating snacks in the Executive Lounge, and taking pictures around the hotel. We had so much fun and relaxation that we didn't get bored at all.
Check out our review to see why the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is such a great place to stay.
Map from Google Maps: Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa
The Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is located between Cha-am and Hua Hin, just before reaching Hua Hin. This location offers a quiet and private beachfront experience, while still being close to both Cha-am and Hua Hin for sightseeing and entertainment.
In the evening, if you want to stroll through the Hua Hin Walking Street, you won't get lost on your way back. Look for the large soi sign in front of the hotel at the entrance. It is brightly lit at night, making it easy to spot.
Our family drove leisurely, stopping here and there, and arrived at the hotel just in time for the 2 pm check-in.
Check-in at the counter. You can bring your children to check in as well, as there is a children's counter.
The Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is part of the Accor Hotels group, a global hospitality chain with a vast network of hotels worldwide. This affiliation ensures high service standards, making it an ideal choice for a relaxing family vacation.
Accor members or those who book directly through the website http://novotelhuahin.com/ can wait to check in here for faster service.
Member check-in corner.
Check-in is complete. Before going up to the room, let's take a look around the hotel lobby. The hotel lobby is very spacious and offers a variety of amenities and services, including shops, drinks, ice cream, sofas for relaxing, and even some arcade games to play.
Shop at the lobby. If you need anything, you can buy it here.
Swimsuits, hats, water toys, and inflatable rings are available for rent. You don't need to bring your own.
The spacious lobby boasts a wide array of toys and play equipment, immediately captivating our young son upon arrival.
The daytime atmosphere is lively, with a steady stream of customers. However, the nighttime atmosphere is significantly more vibrant and bustling.
After checking in and exploring the lobby, we headed up to our room using the hotel's elevator.
Upon reaching the 23rd floor via elevator, which houses our suite, you will find that the entire floor is dedicated to suite accommodations.
Looking left, looking right, I found a view with a seat to wait for the lift.
And here we are at our room for this trip! This room is called the "Suite Ocean View Room FamilyFun".
This family-friendly suite is designed with children in mind. The highlight of the Ocean View Room FamilyFun is the children's sleeping area, which features adorable bed linens and a mountain of cuddly toys. As a complimentary treat, children will also receive a delicious cake. The room is also equipped with child-friendly amenities, such as small cups. This thoughtful attention to detail is sure to delight both parents and children.
For parents who wish to book a Family Fun room, which includes a special children's room, please inform the hotel in advance. It is recommended to provide at least 3 days' notice to allow the hotel to prepare the room accordingly. For more details about the Family Fun room, please visit the following link: http://novotelhuahin.com/th/resort-activities/.
This side of the bed belongs to the parents, who can enjoy the beautiful view from their bed.
The king-size bed was very comfortable. At night, we all gathered on the bed to watch TV. The children went to their own beds to watch YouTube. The hotel's Wi-Fi was very strong, so there was no buffering when watching YouTube.
The children's beds are just a short distance away.
This is a children's bed. As you can see, even older children like my daughter and son can sleep comfortably on it.
My daughter even told me, "It's so comfortable to sleep on!"
The mother dog, seeing this, also wanted to lie down. She tried to squeeze in with the puppies several times, piling stuffed animals on top of herself until she was completely covered.
This complimentary set of snacks is a welcoming treat for children. Upon entering the room, a staff member promptly delivered the snacks, which were met with great enthusiasm from the children. They enjoyed the snacks with delight.
A chaotic trio of father and children venture outside to take in the view.
The room is incredibly spacious and comfortable, with stunning ocean views. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic vistas of the azure sky and the vast expanse of the sea, creating a truly immersive oceanfront experience. Both the children's and adult's beds are positioned to provide unobstructed views of the breathtaking seascape, making this room an unforgettable haven.
In addition to snacks for children, there are also fruits to welcome adults. The atmosphere is fun when the snacks arrive.
Here, I ask to hug the doll to show it off. My daughter loves dolls very much. The tiger, Tigger, in the back can also sing songs.
The hotel provides various amenities for children in the room, including cups, toys, and sand-scooping tools. These items are available for purchase if guests are interested. The hotel decided to offer these amenities after noticing that many families were asking for sand-playing equipment. By providing these items, the hotel aims to enhance the enjoyment of young guests who wish to play in the sand.
The wardrobe opens to reveal an ironing board and iron. Robes are also provided for children.
The bathroom has a shower with a non-slip mat.
Children's toothbrush cups are available, giving mothers peace of mind and eliminating the fear of breakage.
The bathroom amenities included shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a toothbrush. However, the shampoo and conditioner were particularly impressive. I usually bring my own from home because hotel products often leave my hair dry. But the ones provided by the hotel left my hair feeling soft and fragrant. I didn't even need to use the ones I had brought with me.
Step outside to enjoy the panoramic view from the spacious balcony. The scenery is breathtaking, stretching far into the distance. Every time I return to my room, I can't resist stepping out to admire the ever-changing vista. Whether it's a rainy day or a sunny one, the sky's ambiance transforms with each passing moment. On some days, a faint mist can even be seen hovering over the mountain peaks of Phetchaburi.
The sky changes throughout the day, from left to right, morning to evening. Each moment offers a unique and beautiful atmosphere.
The swimming pool is clearly visible from the guest rooms.
Have you seen the sea parting? Hua Hin also has a sea parting. When the tide is low, it will be clearer.
This photo was taken shortly after the rain stopped. You can see a light mist, which is a pleasant sight to behold.
After relaxing in the room for a while, the children wanted to play at Kid's World. So, we went downstairs to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the hotel. The Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is a very large hotel. Despite its size, it doesn't feel empty. Each area is beautifully designed and offers various services.
This path leads to the beach, the pool, and the children's room. However, it is exposed to the sun, so we decided to take another route.
A covered walkway provides a comfortable and convenient path to the swimming pool and beachfront restaurant. This sheltered passage allows guests to access these amenities without being exposed to the sun or rain, ensuring a pleasant experience regardless of the weather conditions.
The path offers scenic views throughout, with beautiful and clean surroundings that are pleasing to the eye. Trees and shade are planted along the way, providing a comfortable and refreshing atmosphere.
If you walk through an open corridor, there will be stairs leading down to a lawn and a conference room like this. The lower floor will be a seminar room and a conference room. I secretly went to explore. The seminar room is beautiful and comfortable. The front of the room is also clean. Whether you are organizing a wedding, a conference, or a seminar, you must say that it is very suitable.
Pétanque court. Come and compete in pétanque. Equipment is provided.
On Saturdays or during major holidays, the hotel will organize activities in the resort for children and families. This includes a free bouncy castle for children. However, the bouncy castle may not be available if it is raining, as the hotel is concerned about the safety of children and the possibility of accidents.
In addition, there is a large trampoline for children to jump on and increase their height. I have read that jumping on a trampoline can help children grow taller. Well, seeing that makes me want to jump too, so I can be tall like everyone else. Right now, I'm the shortest one in the house.
A large bouncy castle where children can jump and play for free. I remember when my children were young, they always had to pay to enter bouncy castles at temple fairs or other events.
In addition to the bouncy house, the hotel also provides a court for playing volleyball or football, which is available for guests. Anyone who sees it and wants to play can simply walk over and pick up a ball to play.
The path to the swimming pool and the beach is shaded by trees, where hammocks are hung for guests to relax in. There are many hammocks available, not just one or two, and they are arranged in a row. Guests can choose any empty hammock to lie down in.
Continuing on to Kids World, our family has stayed at the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa many times before. From young children, they have grown into older children. This time, the two siblings walked around and played on their own, without their mother having to worry as much as before.
Kids World, the playroom at Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa, is a popular attraction for families with children of all ages. The spacious playroom is divided into several zones, offering a variety of activities, including video games, table tennis, billiards, and an internet zone.
Additionally, the facility offers childcare services, including organized activities that promote fun and artistic development for children. This allows parents to relax or engage in other activities during this time. Childcare services are available for a small fee, with options for half-day or full-day care.
Two siblings are having fun playing table tennis.
Feeling tired? Come relax, watch YouTube, and play games on your phone in this area. The air conditioning is cool and comfortable, and the seating is plush.
The mother personally loves this round seat. It is very comfortable to sit on and watch the children play. The cool air makes her feel sleepy.
For families who are staying at the hotel and have not brought their own inflatable rings for playing in the water, the hotel provides inflatable rings and balls. Don't worry if you forget to bring them, as you can purchase them from the hotel.
Adjacent to the Baby's room is the movie room, which has scheduled movie screenings. The movies shown are typically animated films, with a variety of titles rotating on the schedule.
The Kids World room has a dedicated bathroom for children, eliminating the need to go outside.
Various activity zones within the Kids World room
Young girls would likely enjoy this space, as it resembles a princess's dressing corner.
There are also football houses.
In addition to playing with each other, the children also made new friends. This is because the hotel guests came from a variety of countries, including both Thai and foreign nationals. As they played together, they made new friends from different countries. While they may not have always understood each other, they were still able to play together. This is a great way for children to practice socializing and overcome their fear of speaking with new friends from different cultures. It was a lot of fun to watch, and even the fathers joined in the games with the children.
For various outdoor activities, the hotel will organize for families, especially on Saturdays. There will be game booths for children to play at around 3 pm. On the day we went, we saw the staff setting up the booths and preparing to organize activities. Unfortunately, the staff had only been setting up the booths for a short while when the sky became overcast and it started to rain. As a result, the activities had to be canceled. Fortunately, the rain was only a light drizzle and stopped after a short while, allowing us and the children to play in the water.
From the Kids World room, let's take a look at the swimming pool. The swimming pool is another highlight of the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa because it is a large pool with a deep zone, a shallow zone, and a large slide that can be enjoyed by both young and old children. In fact, adults can also play with them, making it fun for the whole family.
The poolside also offers spa services from IN BALANCE Spa.
The IN BALANCE spa offers more than just poolside treatments. It also boasts a dedicated spa room located next to the Kids World play area.
The spacious swimming pool offers a delightful atmosphere, perfect for fun at any time. Our family visited after a rain shower, and despite the overcast sky, we enjoyed a comfortable and refreshing experience without the scorching sun.
The legendary water slide is another reason to stay at the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa, as it allows children to have fun in the water.
This side is suitable for adults, as it is quite deep and ideal for adults to swim and exercise.
The area next to the slide, towards the beach, is shallow, making it safe for children to play in the water.
There is also a swim-up bar where you can order drinks and enjoy them in the pool. This type of bar is becoming increasingly rare, as most bars now require patrons to sit on the pool deck.
It's time to play in the water. It's a pity that the underwater photos didn't capture the moment. I'm not sure how the camera was operated, resulting in only a few photos being taken.
The hotel offers a ball pool for those who wish to play in the water. This information was displayed on a sign.
After enjoying a refreshing swim, take a moment to soak in the ambiance of the beachfront. Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa boasts a private beach where you can indulge in the pleasures of the ocean or simply stroll along the sandy shores. Conveniently located steps provide easy access to the beach, and upon your return, thoughtful amenities such as foot and sand washing stations await.
The beachfront atmosphere is beautiful at any time of day. There are many beachside sunbeds available for rent, arranged in private cabanas.
On the other side of the stairs, you can walk down to the beach and reach the "Talay Waek" (separated sea). Adjacent to the hotel's beachfront, there is a breakwater that blocks the waves. During low tide, this area becomes a "Talay Waek," providing shelter from the wind and a place for local fishing boats to anchor. Guests are welcome to visit and explore this unique natural phenomenon.
One of the most striking features of the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is the presence of security guards patrolling the beachfront. These guards are a reassuring sight for guests, providing a sense of safety and security as they enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Beachside hammocks are available for a truly relaxing experience. The gentle sea breeze in the afternoon creates a particularly soothing atmosphere.
Beachside pavilions and seating areas are available in various locations and configurations.
The water level rises significantly in the evening, making the beach inaccessible. During the day, the water recedes, allowing for walks on the beach. However, as dusk approaches, the water level rises again, creating a different ambiance.
Relaxing on the beach until dusk, the atmosphere by the beach in the evening is beautiful. The sky is beautiful, the wind is cool and comfortable. Gradually, you can see the sun setting below the horizon. In the evening, if anyone goes out to eat, they can eat at the hotel's Ocean Terrace restaurant.
During our stay, we had dinner at the Hua Hin Night Market and strolled along the Walking Street on the first night. On the second night, we dined at the hotel's Ocean Terrace Restaurant, which offered a delicious seafood buffet on Saturday evenings. Enjoy the review at https://th.readme.me/p/12342
The Ocean Terrace restaurant boasts a stunning atmosphere with breathtaking ocean views. Guests staying at the hotel can enjoy the Saturday night buffet, as well as order à la carte meals at other times. The open-air design provides a refreshing breeze and a comfortable dining experience.
A notable feature of Ocean Terrace Restaurant is the dedicated Kids Zone, providing a designated space for children to play and relax while their parents enjoy their meals. This allows parents to dine at their own pace without worrying about entertaining their children.
After dinner, I walked back to my room, passing through the bustling lobby. Children and adults alike were playing games and enjoying the various amusements. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, a stark contrast to the quiet solitude of my room.
The lobby area near the check-in counter was beautifully decorated and inviting, even though I didn't capture it in a photo during check-in. This particular corner offered a comfortable and stylish seating area, rivaling the ambiance of other areas.
Upon returning to your room in the evening, you will be greeted with a turndown service, where the room is tidied and prepared for a comfortable night's sleep. Additionally, the ice bucket will be replenished, eliminating the need to request ice. This is a commendable service offered by the hotel, as it eliminates the inconvenience of having to call for ice or, in some cases, incurring additional charges for it. The proactive provision of ice is a thoughtful gesture that enhances the guest experience.
The room was neatly arranged, and the children's beds were made. The mother decided to take a short nap, as the beds were very comfortable and perfect for the children.
The breakfast buffet at Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is a must-try for guests. The spacious dining area offers a wide variety of dishes, catering to all tastes. Families with children will appreciate the Family Fun package, which allows kids to enjoy breakfast with adults at no extra charge. We had breakfast at the restaurant on both days of our stay, and the hot food menu changed each day to ensure variety for guests.
The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of options, including bread, assorted jams, soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, fried eggs, boiled eggs, vegetable salad with cheese and ham, and much more. The selection is truly extensive.

The fitness room is open 24 hours a day, so you can come and work out or build muscle anytime.
The fitness center boasts a wide array of equipment and a spacious layout. However, out of respect for other patrons, we refrained from taking extensive photographs. We hope these images provide a glimpse into the facility.
After leaving the restaurant, we headed to the Executive Club Lounge. As mentioned earlier, the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa is part of the Accor group, which offers a special Club Lounge service to its guests. The Club Lounge provides complimentary drinks, snacks, and refreshments throughout the day.
The Executive Club Lounge is accessible to guests staying in Executive Suites or higher, as well as Le Club Accor Platinum members and Accor Advantage Plus Platinum members. For other cases, it is recommended to inquire about Club Lounge access privileges directly with the hotel.
The Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort & Spa's Execlutive Club Lounge has recently relocated from the 23rd floor to a beachfront location, offering stunning ocean views.

Here are some photos we took throughout the event.
Computers and internet are available for use.
