The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood in Khao Takieb area. Even though, the hotel itself is not directly connected to the beach but it is just steps away and the sea is visible from the sundeck. The hotel pathway and stairs can be a bit challenging to navigate and took us a few tries to get accustomed to. Note that most area of the hotel is not wheelchair accessible. The alleyway to the hotel is quite narrow which takes some maneuvering skill when there were two way traffic. Parking was plenty and under the roof and there was a spare overflow parking lot opposite the entrance to the alleyway leading to the hotel.
Room was in good size but the sound proofing was a bit lacking (Our room was facing the pool but one floor above and we heard most of the noises from the pool). The bed was very big like around 8 ft. wide but the mattress was on a soft side which is not my preference. Bathroom amenities were comprehensive but the shower water pressure was on the low side and temperature was lukewarm. We enjoyed free minibars (alcoholic beverage not included). Wi-Fi was fast and responsive throughout the property.
There were 2 pools one was accessible via a small stair and was quiet isolated but was smaller in size. The main pool was on the second floor of the Phase 2 of the hotel and that was where most of the people used throughout the day and all pool access rooms were connected to this pool. There were separated sundeck area with a few pool chairs and a couple cabanas. Since most of the guests were Thai and Sunbathing was not really our thing, this area never felt crowded during our entire stay.
Breakfast was exceptional with varieties of options from western style like egg, sausage, bacon yogurt and pastry to authentic Thai such as coconut pancake, pork skewer with sticky rice, Thai style Chinese cruller with Pandan custard, fried rice and curry custard. Juices and milk were self-serve while barista made beverage can be ordered and each guest was offered one complimentary drink each morning. Note that all area of the breakfast venue was open-air. The same space operated as a cafe and restaurant for the rest of the day and attracted some non-staying guest who love the vibe. Expected many people taking a lot of photos to the borderline annoying level. We had a dinner at the hotel restaurant one evening and the quality was great.
Overall staffs were friendly and responsive but not too proactive.
I highly recommend the hotel bar “The Bar Talk” there was plenty of selections of quality alcoholic beverage. The mixologist was very skillful in crafting a delicious cocktail. Premium Artisanal mixer such as fever tree tonic and ginger beer were also available. Their signature drink “Moscow Mule” was the highlight of my stay and I visited the bar every night. Again, this bar is awesome!
Overall, I am impressed by the quality of this hotel given the price point and I would not hesitate to return or recommend...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of staying at the breathtaking Paskani resort in Thailand and I must say, it truly exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had been transported to a dreamy oasis inspired by the enchanting island of Santorini.
The resort's architecture and design perfectly capture the essence of Santorini, with its charming white buildings, cobblestone pathways, and vibrant blue accents. The attention to detail is impeccable, and every corner of Paskani exudes a sense of elegance and tranquility.
The rooms at Paskani are absolute havens of luxury and comfort. I was fortunate enough to stay in one of their spacious suites with a private balcony overlooking the picture-perfect poolside and the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The room was beautifully furnished, featuring a blend of traditional Thai elements and modern amenities. The bed was incredibly plush and provided a restful night's sleep, while the opulent bathroom with its luxurious bathtub and premium toiletries added an extra touch of indulgence.
One of the resort's highlights is undoubtedly its expansive infinity pool, which offers an oasis of pure relaxation. Surrounded by lush greenery and lounge chairs, it provides the perfect setting to soak up the sun or take a refreshing dip while gazing out at the mesmerizing views. The poolside bar is a fantastic addition, offering delightful cocktails and a selection of snacks to further enhance your experience.

Their warmth and professionalism made me feel like a valued guest throughout my entire stay.
Additionally, the resort's location is ideal for those seeking a tranquil escape. Nestled away from the crowds, yet conveniently close to the beach and local attractions, Paskani offers a perfect balance between serenity and accessibility.

Read moreWe reached the resort after a sleepless night and a harrowing airport experience at around 9:00 am, expecting to be told to wait for check-in. To our pleasant surprise, a gentleman (not sure if he was the owner or the manager, but he was definitely hands-on) welcomed us warmly and asked us to have breakfast which would be on the house while they checked if the room was available earlier at no extra cost. This was on Christmas day - peak season.||||The warm hospitality completely uplifted our spirits and it was what we needed to get over our bad experience. It helped set the tone for our three-day stay. We had booked the suite and it was just wonderful. Fully white with traces of blue, it was truly Santorini themed. The photos here on trip advisor and other booking sites are real. The pool was great and so was the food. The breakfast spread was scrumptious and they had a wide variety. The gentleman also drove us to a beach point nearby where we spent a day just relaxing by the sea.||||I would strongly recommend this place for travelers looking for the perfect boutique experience. I can't rate them highly enough for their warm hospitality.||||The only con I thought was kitchen closing at 9 pm, but then Hua Hin's a small town and it's expected. 7/11 is right around the corner for any emergency needs / food...
