Adele Sharman (Sharmanshores)
A very prestigious hotel set in a great location in Hua Hin Thailand.
The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Service is of high standard and very friendly.
My room was facing the sea and grounds. Rooms are a good size, with a very comfortable bed and crisp white sheets.
Love the bath robe, flip-flops and beach bag to use during your stay.
It’s a beach fronted hotel, so no sun loungers actually on the beach. The breakfast is very enjoyable and the chef at the egg station is super friendly and remembers your order. Location is brilliant.

We stayed here as part of a golf trip (Feb 17-20, 2025). Beautiful property with large landscape and right on the water. It is in the city but private & secluded. We stayed in a Junior Suites with partial view of the bay. To be honest, our suite was bigger than a typical presidential suite: Very large living room, large bedroom with California King bed, walking closet, long balcony, .etc. Our room was called Preston Suite (room 252). Our understanding was that not all rooms have the same design ...some Suites have 2 floors ..etc. Breakfast was included and free happy hour until 7pm (beat part)

An Elegant Stay with Room for Improvement
Centara Grand Resort & Villas Hua Hin is a hotel that undoubtedly embodies the elegance of a 5-star property. From the moment you arrive, the staff greets you with warm Thai hospitality and an atmosphere of understated luxury. Every request is handled with the utmost care, and you truly feel the five-star treatment throughout your stay.
The hotel itself is a testament to old Thai charm, with its traditional architecture and a lush garden setting that feels like a tranquil oasis. The grounds are impeccably maintained, and the abundance of greenery creates a natural, peaceful ambiance. However, certain areas, like tiles and walkways, do show their age. The resort is vast, requiring plenty of walking, but it adds to the sense of space and grandeur.
The multiple pools are a delight, offering options for relaxation. Booking the club benefits was a wise choice—it adds a layer of exclusivity and privacy, especially during breakfast in the quieter club lounge. The evening cocktails and canapés, along with refreshments throughout the day, elevate the overall experience.
Unfortunately, the villas were a disappointment. My initial beachfront villa had greasy, dirty windows due to nearby cooking and a constant kitchen smell, which was off-putting. The staff kindly offered me either another villa or a duplex suite as an alternative. I chose to stay in another villa for its outdoor rain shower and bathtub, which were highlights. However, the patio was underwhelming, with uncomfortable beach chairs and a stark white design that felt too bright and uninviting. The cleanliness of cushions and some worn upholstery also needed attention. Despite good maintenance overall, the all-white interiors amplified visible stains and dirt, detracting from the coziness.
The spa had a wonderful atmosphere with professional therapists and high-standard rituals, but the experience was inconsistent. My first massage felt rushed, with the therapist returning too soon after telling me to relax and enjoy the tea at the end. While the staff was accommodating after I raised concerns, the second massage was cut short by nearly 10 minutes. They did compensate me, but the lack of smooth procedures left me less impressed.
In conclusion, the resort excels in service and hospitality, and its rich heritage and beautiful grounds offer a unique charm. However, the lack of coziness in the villas and the operational frictions at the spa were notable drawbacks. While I appreciated the overall stay, I likely wouldn’t return due to these issues and the sheer scale of the property, which felt less personal.

We stayed here for 3 nights and we did enjoy our stay.
Rooms are a bit dated, however comfortable, and have everything you need for your stay.
Service was exceptional with the buffet breakfast, which is very strong, and the service is excellent.
Location is exceptionally good with direct access to the beach. There are 4 pools so lot of space. Must mention the very dedicated staff that looks after the garden and the space.

Reminiscent of a wealthy tea plantation, this railway station is now a hotel on the Gulf of Thailand. Service was impeccably professional and friendly. All of the rooms overlook either the topiary gardens, pool, or Gulf. The property boasts table tennis, life-size chess, playground, and other activities--something for everyone. Hanging poolside or watching life go by from your own personal veranda is also a relaxing option.
The breakfast buffet serves both western and Thai cuisine. Lots of pastries, juices, fruits, omelets to order, curries, and more. My fave were the fresh greens with beets, carrots, and tomatoes.
Our room was spacious and comfortable. All good.
