Praseban is a beautiful small boutique hotel with extremely friendly staff. It's almost perfect for a romantic getaway. Unfortunately, because of its distance from everything else, there are no bars and restaurants in the area or any other attractions. A car is very recommended. The rooms are very bare and lack personal touch. The mattresses are not very comfortable and the balcony seating and lounge chairs by the pool are all made of hardwood with no padding. Eating on the premises feels like a ripoff, we had dinner on the beach by ourselves which was amazing but when we pre-ordered a seafood platter for 1200 baht for 2, we were told there was no fish, and half of the ingredients were missing. Something unacceptable for a region that prides itself on seafood. Half an hour later we were told they would go to the market and try to find the missing parts. We requested a dinner at 8:30 pm then received a call at 8pm saying the dinner was already served. Upon arriving at the table the seafood platter was already there and mostly cold and nothing else. No side dishes, no vegetables not even rice. We had to pay extra for all of those and ended up with a 3,000 baht meal. All the listed prices are non inclusive of a 20% addition. (10% tax + 10% service)
If these problems are addressed, we would love to go there again as the staff make a real effort to give you a pleasant stay. And the beach is magnificent.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Horseback riding 10 minutes away.

If you want to relax, enjoy the sounds of the waves and sea, this the right place. We spent four delightful days reading and walking on the beach. For those who like it, when you're on the beach with the hotel behind you, on the right, 5-20 minutes on foot, you can hire quads, horses, and do water activities. Outside the hotel you can find small supermarket: the closer is on the right side (3 minute walk), but the best in on the left when you go out. There are restaurants besides the road outside the hotel.
Restaurant Tip : Very good and not overpriced restaurant.

Charter a taxi from Bangkok about three hours and 30 minutes south of Hua Hin Pran Buri district said. Almost no figure of the simple cottage. The drawback is that the weather was bad, but in the world of sound bow'll have to stay at the beach side of the pool is good. First of all amenities of a room of low-level staff to be low skill level of cooking. But the slightly higher price. Compared to Phuket and Hua Hin also emerging tourist destinations and education for all does not feel well. Phuket previously stayed at the hotel's $ 70 more a far higher level. The weather was most probably affect the journey, the weather might leave楽SHIMENA nothing like the hotel was not a mistake. If you go to the British plan would be ARENTA nearby? I resort? If the Hong Kong SAR, or about two-night near the hotel facilities might be better.
