I visited Praseban resort the first time few years ago. It was a complete pleasant surprise as I booked it on-line without reading any review based on the main criteria that I wanted a small resort beach front in HuaHin area. We had a private van pick us up from Bangkok; and it takes about 3 hours. The resort is impressive from the moment you walk through the front gate; it's like warhping into Bali retreat of sort. A beautiful design and chic Balinese deco for a little cozy place. Little details are thought of; even decorative ceramic in a bathroom. My friend and I had a wonderful time; and were so impressed with the facilities as well as services. We love the pool and small garden area which are so well-kept. Bath towels are always available. The staff are genuine, cordial, and attentive. Absolutely a sign of good training and management. When we were leaving, the whole staff [from the receptionists to a gardener] came to wave good-bye. It was quite touching. I know I will be back.My second trip last Summer, I went alone and got the beach front room. It was everything I needed; breakfast on the deck, few steps from the beach as well as the pool. It worths spending a little more for such peace and luxury. It is not a place for a family, though it would be perfect for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. The food is good, however, limited menu; which I wish I made suggestions in a guest book. I ended up eating next door quite a bit as they have more variety of local foods. The dinning area, however, is cozy. Also, I have a massage on the beach. It was fantastic. There's also a massage place right across the street, but hey why not do it on the beachside if you can. [My small tip is bring a little bottle of lavendar spray; for there're daddy-long-leg friends you may want to keep away from your bed. Mosquitos are not much of a problem on the beach, but it is a good idea to bring some insect repellent.] I whole-heartedly give this place a 5 stars. And, I'll recommend it to anyone who seeks a peaceful sanctuary in style. ^^

During a holiday in Hua Hin we went to our favourite beach at Pranburi. We had lunch at this hotel which my friend (he lives in Hua Hin) has been to before. The service was excellent, food delicious and the hotel itself is lovely, set in a beautiful garden with lovely pool and beach frontage. I have been to Pranburi before and there was only us two on the beach! Lovely warm sea, it is my favourite beach.

Praseban - Calm, comfortable, romantic and fragrant with magnolias hotel with nice and always smiling staff. There is a perfect pool for swimming and large, white sand beach near the famous Kao Khalok cliff. It's a great place for kite boarding, because almost everyday there's an ideal wind! Moreover, there're not much people - as a result it's comfortable and safe to keep and use kite equipment. Besides staff is very helpful and kind. I'm thankful for all those sincere smiles, warm welcome, cleanliness and especially- that wonderful smell of magnolias...Regards from Lithuania!

I chose this hotel as I wanted a location where I could get away from it all - from from the weekend crowds at Hua Hin. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, Pranburi is a great choice. The hotel was nice, but for the prices they charge (cheapest room 5,000/night in low season on LateStays) they really need to work on improving a few things. if they do this, it could be a really special place. Rooms - Nice but a little dated. The bathroom is huge, why no bath tub? The TV looks like it was made in 1982 and there aren't a lot of channels to choose from. Why no DVD player? For this price, the duvet should be fluffy and warm, but they are using very simple blankets. Mini bar - nothing but the bare basics to choose from and 40 baht for a 6 Baht bottle of water? Air con is old and rattled all night. Resort - Very pretty and quaint. I think there are only 16 rooms. Ocean front look best if available. Nice pool. BUT all rooms face each other around the pool. So if anyone is talking late at night or swimming in the early morning, light sleepers will be woken up. I was woken up at 5am by someone sweeping the concrete by the pool, then at 7am by kids running around the pool. Restaurant - For 5,000 to 15,000 a night, you need to have a proper menu. It is all Thai food made for Thais. So if you are okay with this, then you won't have any issues. But if you want quality Italian dishes or a cheese plate or sandwiches for example, you will be very disappointed. The breakfast was very basic. I would expect fresh coffee and waffles. Instead is was juice and cheap toast/ cheap sausages etc. The staff are all very polite and helpful. The beach is not great, but this is Pranburi, not Phuket. Overall, good but a shame because it could be great. I would stay again if the menu in the restaurant was sorted out and improvements were made in the rooms.
