Golden Beach Hotel Cha-am is a mid-range high-rise hotel that towers over its surroundings, providing great views of the sea from many rooms. The beach is just a block away, and there are plenty of restaurants along the beach road. The hotel has a small pool with a kids' area, two restaurants and a bar, a game room, and several meeting rooms. While it's one of the older hotels in town, its 203 rooms are reasonably modern, many featuring laminated wood floors, updated showers, and amenities like flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. Travelers might also want to compare with FuramaXclusive Sandara Hua Hin, Cha-Am Beach, which offers more amenities, including a kids' playroom and three pools -- rates there will be cheaper.

Thai Bamboo Guesthouse Resort is a small value property that's a 15-minute drive into the countryside outside of Cha-Am city. There are only seven rooms here -- three Standard Rooms in the main house as well as four private bungalows that are set in the lovely garden and come with TVs and mini-fridges. The hotel has a funky outdoor bar plus a quiet swimming pool. An underwhelming breakfast is included in rates, though guests might be better off using the communal outdoor kitchen. There's not much to do here but relax, though guests can rent motorbikes and bicycles, and there's a daily shuttle into town and the beach. Travelers seeking something closer to the beach might want to consider the Cha-am Villa Beach Hotel, which has similar rates.

The SO Sofitel Hua Hin is a 77-room luxury resort in Cha Am, 20 miles up the road from bustling Hua Hin. On a remote stretch of beach, the resort feels like an exclusive boutique retreat. Designed by renowned Thai architect Duangrit Bunnag, the property is a minimalist masterwork, with long reflecting pools and massive urban-chic, mood-lit guest rooms, some of which have hip features like Apple TVs. There are two sleek swimming pools plus multiple romantic restaurants and bars, and the resort has turned its imperfect beach into a private hangout spot with a good beach-chair and bar setup. Guests who appreciate innovative architecture should add this to the bucket list, though guests looking for luxury closer to Hua Hin town should consider V Villas Hua Hin, near the Cicada Market.

The Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort & Spa is one of Cha Am’s larger upscale properties, with 224 rooms, four restaurants, three large swimming pools, plus a fitness center, spa, kids' club, ballrooms, and meeting rooms. Modern rooms have carpeted entrances, wooden floors, and relatively contemporary Thai decor with traditional accents. While the facilities are great, the hotel is in the middle of nowhere and the beach isn't that nice. Additionally, the resort is expensive, yet has no in-room Wi-Fi and charges for items like ice and breakfast. For half the price, one can stay at places like Hotel De La Paix Hua Hin Maganged by Accor and find larger rooms and more style.

The Cha-Am Villa Beach Hotel is an older resort that is located right in the center of Cha Am beach. The hotel is quite large, with 150 rooms, which are small and fairly basic in the lower categories, although the resort does have some larger family-size villas. Rooms do have cable television and mini-fridges, but not much else, and the balconies don't have special views. The hotel has a small pool and restaurant, but its main draw is its proximity to the central beach, which is just across the street, as well as easy access to the surrounding restaurants and bars. The hotel has meeting facilities, but is nowhere near as fancy as the FuramaXclusive Sandara just down the street, and isn't much cheaper either.

Devasom Hua Hin Resort is a 24-room, upscale boutique property that sits along the beach, about a 20 minute drive from Hua Hin city. Rooms and villas are extra large, airy, and bright at this quiet hideaway, with great sea views from the terraces as well as flat-screen TVs and large bathtubs with separate showers. The outdoor swimming pool is the best bet for swimming here, though, as the beach is rocky and essentially disappears at high tide. There is also a bistro-style restaurant serving traditional Thai and European dishes and a attractive vintage library on site as well. There isn't much to do in the resort's immediate area and it's not convenient for spending a lot of time in Hua Hin city, although the hotel operates a free, round-trip shuttle a few times a day. Guests looking for a larger scale resort may want to consider the Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, which is closer to Hua Hin city at a similar price point.

The 296-room Dusit Thani Hua Hin Hotel is a large, upscale resort set on the beach slightly north of Hua Hin city. While the location isn't particularly convenient for town restaurants and shops (as guests without their own transport will need to rely on the hotel's shuttle or taxis), it is a great spot for a family escape, as the resort features two large swimming pools, a kids' club and playground, a comprehensive fitness center with squash and tennis courts, and even a soccer field. Rooms here all have fine wood floors, furnished private balconies, and stocked minibars. There are several excellent restaurants and bars to choose from and the beach here is quiet and well kept. The nearby Mida De Sea can be slightly cheaper but isn't even on the beach, making this trusted brand a better bet for most. Wi-Fi is free, and breakfast is included in most rates.

The upscale Veranda Resort and Spa Hua Hin Cha Am is a hip boutique property set on a lovely beach outside of Cha Am. Feng Shui landscaped gardens and reflection pools surround the resort, which offers 118 stylish and spacious rooms and villas with amenities like flat-screen TVs with DVD players, rainfall showers, and well stocked minibars, though some rooms have lackluster views. Higher category rooms include whirlpool tubs on balconies, while villas have private plunge pools. The hotel has a large outdoor swimming pool, though it can be dirty with leaves from surrounding trees, but it has a water slide, sand pit, bubble jets, water curtain, and even an artificial beach -- not to mention the real beach, which is just steps off the property. There are two restaurants and three stylish bars on-site, plus spa services are available. There isn't too much within walking distance, however, and the city center is about a 15-minute drive away. Travelers seeking something with more facilities might want to consider the Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa.
