Perfect holiday villa in Hua Hin.Close enough to the action yet perfect distance outside of downtow.
Beautiful 2 bedroom/2 bathroom villa. Stocked with everything you will need. Perfectly clean upon check in and very comfortable and QUIET! We needed a place to stay that was close enough to downtown Hua Hin yet away from the crazy traffic and every growing nightlife (i.e. NOISE). This villa was a perfect solution.
Now there were a couple of issue but nothing that will be a showstopper. First, the toilet in the 2nd bathroom was not functioning properly. Not a big deal as the master bathroom was fully operational.
Second was the internet. The owner's internet was incredibly slow and basically unusable. The Banyan Resort WiFi was great, when it was working. Late at night (midnight to 6am) which is when I was working, the internet was pretty stable but if a solid, high speed internet connection is critical to you, just understand that this is a challenge with this unit. I believe it is more of a limitation within the resort. Note: The resort issues old-style password tickets that are good for 2 devices. I recommend the Banyan Resort upgrade their internet facilities and just make the WiFi free across ALL villas. It would solve alot of issues.
Again, great location. 5 minutes South of Hua Hin and just beyond the water park on the right as you head South.
The long community pool/river outside the back door was great! And the hammock was a nice surprise. We just chilled and relaxed there some evenings for a few hours. Loved it.
All in all, I'd give this villa a 4 out of 5 stars. The only thing keeping it from a full 5 star rating is the toilet issue and for us, the lack of a stable, high speed internet connection. I was unable to maintain Skype calls to my international customers and family during our visit. Other than these two items, the villa is a winner!
Would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it to those seeking a change from the old Hua Hin hotel stay and battling traffic (and noise) downtown.
