Nice Villa, Near to Beach, Good Services”

I have enjoyed my stay in The Palayana. I have booked a villa with private pool & stayed with my husband and 14yo son. The villa is very clean & well maintained. the pool area is huge & well kept. Ideal for a small family like mine. Our villa is just 2-3mins away from the beach which is behind The Palayana. You can get to see the sunrise right at the beach area. The breakfast area also has a good view of the sunrise. Variety of the breakfast is just nice for me. They also served different live station during my 4 days stay. Beside the breakfast area is the resort open pool. they have a pool bar for you and it is beautiful during the night when you have music & stars as companions. There is a free shuttle which can bring you to Hua Hin Clock Tower, but you need to book an hour before departing time. The staff are very friendly & helpful. I have received lot of smiles during the stay. A good villa resort to choose if you want to relax. Will be back on my next trip to Hua Hin!

Nice escape from chaos.”

We are from China and we stayed in Bangkok for 2 weeks before we came to Hua Hin. Palayana is a nice hotel to stay if you are to escape from the noise and chaos. The hotel is pretty stand alone by the beach. We live in a 2 floor villa which comes with a swimming pool and is pretty spacious! The restaurant in the hotel is fair, and there are several restaurants around the hotel. There is some distance to Hua Hin actually, but what to lose, you can enjoy yourself very well staying here. :) A little suggestions to the room cleaning: you can standardize your cleaning procedure, since sometimes we are short of the mosquito pill supply and don't see any new ones coming when after room makeup. Overall, a nice stay. Highly recommended.

nice hotel to chill out in the peace and quiet”

this hotel is located in cha-am which is quite a distance from hua hin town itself. the hotel is really clean, and beautiful, with top notch facilities (we stayed in the jacuzzi suite, and we used the gym and swimming pool a few times). It is right there on the beach, which I assume is a nicer beach compared to Hua Hin, because it's cleaner and much less crowded. Hotel provides free shuttle to hua hin town, but not that frequently (every 2 hours i think). And the last shuttle back is quite early for a weekend night (9 pm). But you can always take a tuk tuk or a taxi back, which would cost about 200 thb. The buffet breakfast was fantastic, and Basil restaurant has great chefs! the pad thai was delicious! The service is also top notch, as with most Thai hospitality. I would recommend this place to others, but would tell them to treat it as a peaceful, relaxing get away. Not for those who want to go into town very frequently.

Luxury hotel”

The hotel is situated next to other 5 star hotels just outside of hua hin. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle bus into town if you want. We spent our time at the hotel, it is lovely, really beautifully designed and landscaped. The grounds are like a private garden ,very leafy and add to a spacious, quiet and tranquil environment. The hotel rooms are super modern and very slick but with nice little touches to make it characterful. The beachfront is lovely with nice recliners and a great beach bar. The food in the restaurant is really good and the breakfast was very impressive. We really enjoyed our time here, very relaxing.

Good hotel among other fine hotel area”

The palayana is a goood hotel with small beach area, compare to the huge Sheraton next door. The room has pretty nice and relaxing layout, bath facilities are really awesome. Pool is large and clean, and breakfast is wonderful - the coffee machine makes pretty tasty fresh brewed coffee and plenty of choices for breakfast. However we went to some bars nearby and in Sheraton which is much larger, location is a bit out of hua hin center but ok to take taxi.

Exceptional”

Outstanding rooms. Great pool. Good breakfast with items cooked and not presented buffet style. Buffet option was good for me, with a good selection of fruits and salad items. Also REAL orange juice! Very polite staff. All in all, the best value hotel I've ever stayed in Thailand. Location is only an issue if you want to go into Hua Hin some 10km away but as I was in a car not problem for me. Direct beach access which was groomed every day but the beach itself and views are nothing special. To sum up, a perfect hotel as I wanted peace and quiet, good pool . A great get away for couples but if your looking for a great beach then try another location in Thailand.

Better stay in hotel than in downtown Hua Hin”

Overall we enjoyed our stay in The Palayana very much. We spent most of our time in hotel and used all the service including restaurant, spa, pool. All the staff are very attentive and nice. Food is excellent. Room and environment are very clean! Location is far from center which gave us a good reason to stay in hotel and enjoy the beach. The shuttle bus service is a much better choice than taxi. Glad that we picked Palayana as our first time stay in Hua Hin.

Nice one.”

I, my sister, my mum and two nephews and a niece were there in the summer. It was quite nice place. We booked one pool-villa and one garden view rooms. The environment was OK. We like the fact that the place can enter to the sea. There are big swimming pools, a lot of trees and quite nice staffs. The breakfast was good too. This was the second time I'm in this hotel for Hua-Hin.

The Best Weekend Getaway near Bangkok”

I drove from Bangkok to Hua Hin. It worth all the money and time. Nice and friendly staff. Good location to relax. Stayed here for one night. This boutique brand new resort is very clean and quiet with large well equipped rooms. The environment is very nice and peaceful. It is nestled between 5 star properties on both sides. We spent our day relaxing and eating out at the beachside bar.

It’s a wonderful trip ”

The villa is beautiful, the staff all friendly and nice. We have a wonderful trip in Christmas. Thanks for The palayana resort. See u next time in Hua Hin. ：）

Great Escape ”

Palayana means escape!. It's a good place to escape from the chaos in the city. It' very peaceful and quiet. It's located opposite FlyNow outlet in Hua Hin. Yogurt hotel made is awesome for breakfast.

Staff Friendliness, Clean and Romance Place”

Silent, Cleanliness, Not too far from hua hin market, Staff Friendliness Just inform: if the hotel will make a better of hotel guide post, that will be nice. Now, if i didn't spot on Sheraton guide post - i may not found the way to hotel. Actually i drive twice of time because i drive through and have to turn back so far. Just shared krab.

Great hotel, would stay again”

The only problem here is the transport distance to the city centre of Hua Hin. The taxis are too expensive, sadly, because they think all tourists are dumb white people who can just pay and pay and pay more again. Other than that, this is a great place to stay and will continue to stay here in future.

fantastic hotel”

The Palayana, is a beautiful hotel, its layout is superb with real thought going into it, located on a beautiful white sand beach it is very quiet but no hawkers or anyone bothering you. i was travelling with my parents who are pensioners who adored the hotel the staff was excellent and extremely helpful, a shuttle bus is available to take you in to Down town Hau Hin and its many bars and resteraunts, a real gem of a Hotel that i hope to return to soon.

Overall Happy But...”

Twice breakdown of the air conditioning during our 7 days dampens our mood. However both the Manager & Duty Manager are professional to help us resolved the issue. They make alternate arrangements to ensure our comfort despite the inconvenience caused and we are very appreciative for their gestures. Front desk staff are friendly & two female staff make the extra effort to fetch us on the buggy when they saw us walking out. I roughly remember one of the female staff name is Kunnapa (hope I get her name right). The room is big, comfy bed & pillows. Breakfast spread is average. Overall we are happy and satisfied with our stay in The Palayana Hua Hin and will recommend this hotel or return in future...but no more staying in room 12!

Nice service/staff”

comfortable bedding, surrounding is very quiet. The back side of hotel can see the sea directly. Breakfast is good taste and full options. It's good choice to stay when at Hua hin

An excellent getaway resort. Nice place and friendly staffs”

We stayed at the one bedroom villa in April 2019 for my daughter sweet 16 bday and our 21st wedding anniversary. We all had a wonderful time. The towel swan decoration, red wine and bday cake are nice surprise for three of us. Staffs were helpful and friendly. The man staff who served us at the patio restaurant always has a smile on his face and readily to answer every question we had. Housekeeping team is doing a great job by providing clean and speedy service. We were up at the pool while they are cleaning our bedroom and bathroom. They did their job efficiently by turning our room back to nice and clean in a short time. Reception staffs were helpful. Whenever we need something to refill and they will arrange for us. Concierge staff deliver our lugguages in no time after we checked in. Breakfast were delicious. The evironment of Palayana is very nice. My daughter fall in love with Palayana and asked to go back for next vacation. during our stay.

Excellent”

Excellent place to stay, right on a lovely beech, great swimming pool, good value 5 star meals, great breakfast. Courtesy bus into town 100baht. If I was to stay in hua hin again I would choose this place.

Exceptional”

A group of my friends stayed at Palayana to celebrate the New Year. We had a wonderful time at Palayana. It's really relaxing and we enjoyed so much. The food at the restaurant is awesome, we love it very much and the staffs at the restaurant and the entire resort are nice and helpful. We love the fireworks for countdown as we never thought of celebrating the New Year with fireworks, it's such a huge surprise to 8 of us. Palayana is around 20mins drive from the night market and the mall by taxi, which the reception can help to reserve as per your request. Just one thing we were thinking after the trip is that we should've tried out the spa. We had a wonderful stay overall, thank you for giving us such a beautiful memory.
