Mövenpick Asara Resort & Spa Hua Hin

Wonderful resort with lots of green and a nice pool. All employees are very friendly. Even the gardeners greet you when passing by. Clearly a well managed property with good maintenance. The two bedroom villas are very spacious and feature a small pool to cool down. They do have a small kids club next to the pool and a big part of the pool is only 60 cm deep which is nice for kids to play in. The property is located directly at the beach with nice sand during low tide. (Hi tide the water comes up to the property line). Overall a very good option for a few days in Hua Hin.

Hotel is new and very big, room is spacious and have a huge terrace. We like the free chocolate buffet. However there is no sand beach so we could not enjoy the beach, only can swim in the pool. Pool is nice. Breakfast is just so so for a 5star hotel. One thing I dont like here is about their communication, we informed them twice before arrival and after checking in that we dont need extra bed but they still brought it in.

Beautiful and spacious, located in a nice and quiet part of town, about 10 mins from the city centre by car, with enough amenities nearby so that it's not totally secluded. Rooms and facilities were a little dated with some parts of the hotel falling apart. The nails of the towel rack were detached from the wall, and I also fell into the pool drainage and bruised my shin because the drain cover came off when i stepped on it. But i thought it was a nice touch that room service provided lemongrass essential oil burner in the washroom

We could also hear loud music from the nearby bar from our room, so it might not be the best location for light sleepers.

Breakfast didn't have a lot of options, although our stay included 500 baht credit for room service, the prices on the menu exclude "tray service". I'm not quite sure what that means, because the trays are not cleared unless you call the front desk to send someone to pickup the trays when you're done with you meal. This means if you leave the tray outside your room, it could be there for a few days.

Do not expect a proper sand beach at the hotel, although the pool and sun beds were sufficient for our stay.

Our family stayed there across 5 different rooms which was quite fun. The ocean front villas are lovely, whilst the private pool villas were nicely private and spacious. The lagoon rooms also had similar space but on the 1st floor which was a nice change in perspective. All the rooms are well maintained given the age of the resort and you will find all you need in them. Bathrooms are sizable and the outdoor showers are a treat especially on hot sunny days.

Breakfast on site was a bit busy now that the pandemic is easing, although all still wear masks and many wear the supplied plastic gloves. There is a decent selection for breakfast although I would have expected a bit more - ie limited condiments for congee, no seafood savories, limited deli meats and cheeses. The spread was nicely laid out but it felt decidedly lacking was the consensus from our family.

Service was also good and as you would expect in such a resort. Everyone was very helpful and did their best to help. The gardeners helped direct me around and took my trash when I was looking for one, the receptionist recommended several good restaurants, the housekeeping did a good job in the rooms.

This is a lovely family hotel which is busy but the layout felt private enough to enjoy some peace. The rooms are slightly dated but still very serviceable. The privacy in the villas and the very spacious rooms were a very big draw and did not disappoint. This is a nice change from the modern sterile hotel buildings in the town these days.

Would I come back - we are spilt on this, my husband loved it, some others thought it nice enough although they would have wanted better breakfast options. We will come back with the kids and stay again as they have access to a big pool[s] and freedom to roam through the lovely resort. But i will likely eat off campus instead of staying in as there are so many good food options in Hua Hin already. Just make sure you have transport as the resort is about 10 mins drive from the town centre.

Old but well kept resort, has a complex dining menu but probably needs a top chef to deliver consistency in quality. We stayed in villa with private pool that offers a 80cm diameter floating breakfast tray for fun a must try at least once

Mövenpick Asara Resort u0026 Spa Hua Hin encapsulates a truly 5-star oceanfront resort experience in every facet.

Service - Extremely attentive to every detail. From the check-in we noticed that the hotel has implemented the 'new normal' standards and provide minimal touch points at check-in. Smooth, efficient and friendly. It's heartwarming to see smiling staff who are eager to assist you in anyway. Upon check-in, we were escorted to our Pool Villa by a buggy. We couldn't not fault a single staff, from the bell boy to the waitresses at the restaurants to the management (especially Khun Sven and Khun Chadaporn).

Route to Villa - Narrow lush trails of trees make this itself an enchanting experience as we approached our abode within the resort. Excitement filled the air for what was to come next.

Pool Villa - This contemporary style villla is very well designed with a separate living room, bedroom area, working table, all the basics (safety box, slippers, bathrobes), large cupboard space, a soak tub, indoor and outdoor showers, and a dip pool. The room is airy wth large sliding doors that open to a lush garden and lots of sunlight. The colors and tones of the walls and curtains are warm and evokes a feeling of serenity and calm. The villa was also emaculately clean. The shower water pressure and drainage system was excellent. Morever, the liquid soap they use has a familiar peppermint scent and easily washes off. These subtleties are always appreciated.

Wifi - Fast, stable and reliable throughout the resort make this a viable destination to work away from the cities hustle and bustle. A quick escape to this resort is always on the cards.

Breakfast in villa - Enjoyed breakfast served to the room. We had a mix of both American and Continental options available. Crispy bacon, eggs Benedict, sausages, etc. Special mention: if you request for crispy bacon, they make them perfectly thin and crispy. The holaindase sauce on the eggs benedict also had a great balance of flavors. We looked forward to breakfast in the mornings.

Chocolate hour - Everyday between 3 pm to 4 pm we enjoyed chocolate hour where Movenpick treats in-house guests to complimentary artisinal chocolates. This was a wonderful 'sweet' touch to the experience at Asara.

Kampu Restaurant - This international restaurant enjoys the width of the resort. Dine while enjoying the warm breeze from the sea as the decident food caresses your palate. They use an online QR menu which reduces touchpoint while saving paper which is always nice. We enjoyed the basil and minced chicken (kraphao gai) and phadthai (with shrimp) as well as an awesome Movenpick rasberry and strawberry sorbet as a perfect palate cleanser.

The grounds - We enjoyed sunset swims by the large oceanfront swimming pool which spans across the width of the resort. We did notice that they also had a fitness room available for use.

Afternoon Tea - Sandwiches, pastries, chocolates, coffee macrons, and more. A quick nibble by the swimming pool at the Sala makes for a enjoyable wave of flavors by the oceanfront.

Baan Dam - as you approach there Thai Seafood restaurant a warm yet vibrant vibe fills the air. The restaurant is set on an oceanfront lawn with minimalistic decorative elements and a chilled ambience. There is a little stage set up with local artists singing to classics. The set up was perfect for a chilled or romantic night out with excellent service and of course the food! We had pineapple fried rice (the best we have taste to date), crab curry, stir fried morning glory (phak boong), tamrind shrimps (Goong Makham). We couldn't fault a single dish. A perfect balance of flavors and authentic Thai. In fact, each dish tasted like a glorified version of street food.

We would like to thank the entire team for making this a truly unforgettable stay.
