Ban Huai Luk accommodation from NZ$95

An excellent stay for a short getaway from BKK. We went during a long Mother’s Day weekend so the place was a bit packed at first. After Sunday/Monday, we pretty much had the entire resort to ourselves. This property is meticulously well manicured. Great dining options on premise. I highly recommend Casa Mare which is their most high end restaurant right by the water. If you are traveling without a car then you need to use grab/bolt which can be tricky as Cha Am is more remote and low key. It’s our first time in Cha Am as we usually stay in Hua Hin and BKK. There is also a strip of small bars and local restaurants about 5-10 minutes away…and of course a 7-11! There are 2 hotel pools; one for adults and one for kids. The water seems a bit mucky and wasn’t as clear so I never used it. Other than that, it’s a beautifully large resort and would definitely return.

*A Longtime Favorite – Well-Deserved 5 Stars!** I’ve stayed at Veranda Resort Hua Hin - Cha Am many, many times since 2019—back in the "other world" before COVID-19. Since my first visit, I’ve made sure to return every year, and now I finally have the chance to leave a proper review. This resort absolutely deserves five stars for so many reasons. As a professional chef, food is the first thing I look for, and Veranda has truly impressed me. In 2024, they earned a Michelin Recommendation (Michelin-Star Worthy), and I couldn’t be happier for them! The amazing team that has served me since day one has kept both the food and service consistently outstanding. The flavors are delicious, and their hospitality is undeniable—from the bellboys to the front desk, they’re a true powerhouse. Beyond the dining, the resort offers a comfortable, clean, and safe environment with a beautiful beachfront. Without a doubt, this is the place to stay in the Hua Hin/Cha Am area—not to be missed!

It was great
