"When traveling to the beach, staying in a beachfront hotel with stunning views is a must, right? Otherwise, what's the point? This is one of the first questions you'll hear from friends choosing a hotel."

Planning a Trip to Hua Hin: Choosing the Right Hotel

Where to stay in Hua Hin? This coastal town offers a variety of accommodation options, from beachfront resorts to charming boutique hotels.

Beachfront access: If you desire direct access to the stunning beaches of Hua Hin, numerous hotels cater to this preference.

Budget considerations: Accommodation costs vary depending on the level of luxury and amenities offered.

Exploring your options: To make an informed decision, consider researching different hotels and comparing their features, prices, and reviews.

For accommodation, the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am Beach Resort is a good option. It is part of the Novotel chain, which has numerous locations in Thailand and abroad, including Novotel Pattaya, Novotel Bangkok, and Novotel Phuket. As a four-star hotel, it offers a reliable level of quality. (It may not be exceptional, but it is unlikely to be disappointing.)


Getting there is a breeze! Simply open Google Maps and search for "Novotel Hua Hin." You won't get lost. Head towards Cha-am and keep an eye on the left side for the clear entrance sign. After approximately 300 meters, you'll see the towering 24-story hotel building. It's impossible to miss!

Evening Ambiance and Rooftop Revelry

The evening visit offered a glimpse into a festive gathering, captured discreetly through the lens. The overall ambiance of the building was captured from the garden, showcasing its elegant design. Rumors of a newly opened rooftop bar piqued my curiosity, and as dusk settled, I made my way to the 24th floor, eager to explore this new addition.

Gravity Sky Bar: A Celestial Escape

The Gravity Sky Bar, perched atop the 24th floor, promised an unparalleled experience.


The atmosphere is amazing, but it looks like it might rain soon. The sky is a bit dark.


The bar is located on the 24th floor and is decorated with graffiti, or spray-painted images on the walls (Street Art style), similar to what we see in the alleys and on the walls of buildings in Bangkok.



This bar stands out for its unique graffiti-inspired decor, which I believe is one-of-a-kind in Hua Hin.


The view is truly breathtaking, stretching as far as the eye can see. The vastness and openness create a sense of tranquility and ease. Imagine sitting with a glass of beer, peanuts in hand, admiring the scenery and feeling the breeze. It's a moment of pure bliss.


...Executive Room...

Continuing to the room, upon opening the door, I was greeted by a beautifully arranged welcome snack. It's important to note that I stayed in an Executive room, which means that the amenities and welcome snacks are exclusive to Executive room guests.

This room can also be converted into a connecting room, instantly becoming two bedrooms when opened.

Given the impressive capabilities demonstrated, the ability to prepare iced coffee would further enhance the appeal to coffee enthusiasts.

The hotel also offers a mini-bar, perfect for families with children.

The balcony offers a scenic view and a refreshing breeze, perfect for relaxing in the evening.


Oh, a 4-star hotel that even offers a choice of pillows! Wow!



Safe, hairdryer, complete with iron and ironing board (but I didn't take a picture).



Let's take a look at the bathroom. It has all the necessary amenities, including a razor. The shower is a rain shower.


Breakfast


**

After waking up in the morning, we had breakfast together. The dining room was open-air, and the morning air was cool and refreshing.


Let's start with the menu, which includes grilled pork and sticky rice!



Poached egg, interesting. I've never seen it before. It looks delicious.



The menu features a wide variety of egg dishes, primarily Thai cuisine, including stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried noodles, and noodle soup.


There are also many cereals.



Those who enjoy fruits, this is for you! A wide variety of fruit salads, yogurt, and smoothies are available. You won't be able to finish it all!



Seasonal fresh fruits, yogurt, fruit salad



Bread was bitten.

Executive Lounge

Guests staying in Executive rooms also have access to the Executive Lounge, which offers breakfast, snacks, and drinks throughout the day. While the walk to the beach is a bit longer from these rooms, the access to the lounge makes it worthwhile for those who want to spend the whole day there.

Bread, juice, Coke, Fanta, everything is free! (Included in the room rate, haha!)


Another clear picture




Fresh coffee and tea, please.



The swimming pool is very large and has separate areas for children and adults.



Free tire inflation and tire repair services are available.



Alternatively, for those who prefer a more luxurious experience, there are stylish poolside spas available.



Water balls are available for rent. They are large enough for a person to walk inside and on the water.



Or you can sit and enjoy the sea view by the beach (but it's a bit hot).

At Novotel, the Kids' Club is a must-visit. Kids can spend the whole day there, making the most of their time!


Older children can play pool or ping pong.


A short walk away is the inflatable house, which, as always, is free!



The jumping machine is here. It's still early in the morning, so no one has played it yet.



For those who want to stroll through the vegetable garden, there are organic vegetable plots where you can choose to cook with the chef.

Our lunch menu

Alternatively, enjoy a coffee with a cute cake at the Coffee Shop. If it's someone's birthday, you can order a cake to surprise them in the lobby. This location has a dedicated kitchen for making cakes (as confirmed by the staff).

…In conclusion…

Value for money 9/10, cheap and complete, but the price on holidays may be a bit high, maybe 3,000, but it's normal for holidays. On weekdays, it's definitely in the early 2,000s.

Breakfast 10/10, very abundant. You'd better finish it all.

The service is 8/10, but the staff may be a bit overwhelmed by the number of customers (especially on weekends). The restaurant staff may be a bit slow in their service.

The resort offers a wide variety of activities, catering to all ages. Children will be particularly entertained.
