Banyan The Resort Hua Hin

“Complete Retreat”

If your taste is for beige rooms and breakfast buffets then you have plenty of choice along the main drag of Hua Hin where the international hotel chains fringe the beach as they do everywhere from Acapulco to Waikiki. Your view will be the same too, you’ll have the ocean to the front and behind your room will be a tasteful salted caramel. But five minutes down that road is something different, because five minutes further along that road is the real Hua Hin. This is a town which grew as Thailand’s first beach resort, as a place to get away from it all without really being too far from it all. It was the choice of royalty, like Brighton in Britain or the Hamptons for regal New Yorkers. Banyan Resort embodies this spirit of Hua Hin - its hushed walkways , its lush gardens, its easy elegance make for a stay where time simply ceases to matter and the world is at arms length, like a soothing drink - there only when you need it. The villas are well spaced and spacious, the gardens mowed and manicured with private pools shimmering between. If you have a phone and opposable thumbs then you have all you need for a an unbeatable retreat - food deliveries arrive from town in minutes, taxis too, your villa will be serviced, your laundry will return the next day. And if you fall for this Arcadia, as many before you have, the are even plots for sale to play your god and build your private paradise. At a time like this, at any time really, who doesn’t want to press the pause button? It’s there, head south out of town for five minutes...until you stop.

“Golfing weekend”

Rather cold check in. I had pre-paid for the room but almost the first thing said was, "we need to charge your card THB2,000 deposit.".

Rather cold check in. I had pre-paid for the room but almost the first thing said was, "we need to charge your card THB2,000 deposit.". Booked a 2 bedroom villa as there were 4 of us, villa not luxuriously furnished but was fine. Bedrooms were a good size, very comfortable bed, and both had ensuite good size bathrooms. Kitchen was ok, but the kettle had not been cleaned properly, but adequate equipment provided. Private pool needed cleaning, many leaves. Breakfast was fine, although the waiter on day 3 got my order completely wrong. Very good location for getting into Hua Hin or to the Banyan golf club, providing you have a car.
