Rest Detail Hotel, Hua Hin / Cha-am

good service, everything is new well positioned for restfull vacation...Small pool

We have enjoyed our stay in Rest Detail. The staff are very nice, but I would hope for better English at the recepion. Whenever there was anything slightly out of the ordinary or an issue with anything the conversation was almost impossible. The hotel is very very knew so everything is in a really good condition, though making cleaners scrub the floor for two hours with a toothbrush is way over the top and smacks of pretty bad employment practices. The Horizon rooms are really nice, spacious, look good and the jacuzzi area with day bed is really good though lot more overlooked than we hoped. The food was also pretty good, nice mix of east and west. Again, some staff needed bit more training on the western food front. Neither chef, not waiter had a clue what a bruschetta is despite being on the menu. Pool area is very nice and very quiet, there was hardly anybody at the pool. Beach was pretty bad, the hotel should clean it up. I would also hope for a few more organised activities since there's no gym - the only thing on offer is yoga/tai chi at 7:30am which is pretty ridiculous on a holiday. Especially as you have to pay for this! Overall, very nice, but the hotel spoilt the last impression by arguing over missing laundry bag at checkout when they trusted us with Ipod and we just paid bar/food/room service bill of £250 not even talking about the cost of the room. It turned out this was not replaced by housekeeping after having laundry done. The check-out bill took absolutely forever to prepare despite letting reception know at what time we'll be ckecking out and asking them to pre-prepare it.

It was almost twenty years since I last visted Hua Hin so I have no recollection of the place. I picked Rest Detail as it looks nice on their website and price is good considered its proximity to the beach. The hotel turns out to be everything as promised. Everything is picturesque. The beach is good for a stroll but not really for sunbathing as it's quite small.
