Pleasant Hotel near the beach”

We enjoyed our stay at the Takiab Beach Resort for the second year running. Nothing is too much trouble for the friendly staff. The room was superb and clean. We certainly would love to return again. Breakfast was also very good and reasonable in price. All in all value for money.

Takiab Beach Hotel a Nice Surprise”

Not knowing much about this area, or this hotel, I was pleasantly surprised. Very difficult to find, but luckily, I had printed the map with some local Wat names (Thai Temples); and of course, there was Mount Takiab as a reference point (see my tip below for better directions). The hotel was old but clean. Nice that in the lobby they had a bookshelf for books/magazines to borrow, and a small sitting area. Pool was nice and seemed clean. Since our trip was a last minute plan, it was understandable that they could not provide a room with a king bed. The carpet was a bit old, but the TV had many cable channels. Old but decent Air-conditioning. Bed was comfortable. Nice that the room had a small refrigerator. No safe. Bathroom almost spotless, but shampoo bottles provided by hotel were not full, so probably used. Otherwise, Maid service was very good/quick. Beach towels provided. The beach was only a four minute walk through the nearby hotel's parking lot. The beach was better than Hua Hin because high tide at Hua Hin covers most of the beach, whereas at Takiab, there is still plenty of beach. Beach umbrellas & chairs for rent. The hotel breakfast was basic, but sufficient. Motorcycles available for rent. The only bad comment I have is that we had a family member as a guest visitor during the day, and front desk refused to give us an extra towel. We plan to go back and stay here at some future time because the value and location is perfect for us.

Best Beach in Hua Hin but dont tell everybody!!!”

If booked through Agoda, this hotel is the best deal at Takiab Beach, from which it is only 3 minutes walk in a quiet side road -very clean everywhere and the room was well carpeted. Well staffed and everyone was helpful. Nice pool with some jacuzzi jets which were turned on without my asking when swimming alone.

Good location close to the beach”

I have stayed at other hotel in Khao Takiab, but this is best value for money. Big, nice clean room, nice balcony. The staff was paying very much attention to any request. Very nice swimming pool, and beach in walking distance. (about 400 m.) And free WiFi. I am sure we wil come back with our children.

Takiab Beach Resort - A-OK except for internet!”

Stayed there in the middle of May. Since I made the 3 night booking on my laptop in BKK (no printer) I did not have a voucher to present while checking in. I checked in around 8PM and the permanent middle-aged night clerk did not speak much English and worse, he had severe tooth pain and his mouth was numb from anesthesia making his limited English impossible to understand. Him trusting that I had a pre-paid reservation avoided a nightmare situation. He did understand my request for the WiFi password and wrote it down for me and realizing that I needed an internet connection,he immediately changed my room from a 3rd floor one to one on the 2nd floor. That 1st night was the only time that I was able to access the internet from my room which really sucked.Worse...the pay-by-minute lobby computer was useless since it was riddled with virus and adware infections. Hopefully the lobby computer has had all of it's virus' cleaned and the hotel has renewed the expired Anti-Virus program which caused the multiple infections rendering that terminal useless. Unless you have a rental car, Hua-Hin is quite far but they do have a private car and private van service in the area (Hua-Hin has no taxi companies!) and the 2 times I went into Hua-Hin I waited only 5 minutes for the private car to collect me.

Great place for the price”

Our third time staying here. It's perfect for the price - very cheap!. A comfy bed, a shower, an old tv that keeps you from spending too much time in your room. The beach is very close and Hua Him is a short mini-bus or taxi ride away. There are restaurants along the beach, around the hotel and tons in Hua Hin, so you'll never get bored. There are a couple bars nearby, and also a FamilyMart convenience store has recently opened. Wifi is kinda iffy, but free. Staff, as always, are friendly and helpful.

The Takiab Beach Resort”

The Takiab Beach Resort was very nice. The rooms were a good size. The staff very friendly and it had a lovely pool. There was also a few restaurants within walking distance which were very good. You could get a local bus [actually a tuk tuk] about five mins walking to take you into town which is only about 2 baht per person. The hotel next door also had a shuttle you could use if you wanted to pay twenty baht.

Lovely hotel with nice service.”

I always spent my holiday at Takiab beach hotel. This is lovely place and quiet. Good for me to get relax here, you can walk to beach only a few minutes from the hotel.

A good hotel with nice staff”

The hotel is in good location, not far from the sea, but away from the crowds. The beach is OK, but is definitely crowded (shared between several hotels), and does not have nice sand. Water being shallow for several meters is perfect for young children. The hotel itself feels a little dated, but not to the extent of being unpleasant. Cleanliness was OK, no mosquitoes due to the screens. A little expensive for what you get. There are small shops and eating places in the walking distance, the town of Hua Hin is a 10-minute ride away in the green pick-up taxi/truck.

Economical place to stay”

As an economical place to stay this hotel is OK so no criticisms of the standard. It was comfortable and clean. The staff was very helpful and courteous, you can feel at home here. Motorbikes can be rented on the premises and the owner of this business and her daughter(?) were cheerful and humourous. On any holiday people want to have an enjoyable time and this means the people in the hotel need to be friendly and kind and in this the Takiab Beach Resort people easily made us at home.

Excellent Location Near the Beach”

The beaches are about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. No sea view rooms, but the view from our room was trees and birds. The lunch was good, but don't expect to get your moneys worth at breakfast. The little restaurants on the beach and near the hotel are much better and cheaper. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not much in terms of bars or nightlife, but Hua hin is only a short taxi ride away. Nothing extra in the room - no coffee, no kettle, not even tissue to blow your nose. BUT, a great place to stay.

Takiab Beach Resort”

Takiab Beach Resort is a nice little hotel situated 5 minutes from the beach. For 150 baht can you go by tuk-tuk in to Hua Hin. The pool-area is very good! The best thing about this hotel is the staff in the reception. You get what you pay for, and since you don't have to pay that much, you don't get so much either.

Dated but vert comfortable ”

Tucked away down small lane that leads to a good beach,this quiet hotel is basic but great value , I had a large corner room with a single and queen size beds, bath and shower,and enough cupboard space for a football team ,a nice three seater couch with a large flat screen tv ,the internet was good enough to stream Netflix . Yes this hotel is a bit dated ,but we had a very enjoyable stay as it has a good pool and very good air-con .

Takiab quiet”

The takiab beach hotel is an average hotel meeting its star rating but no more. It is located further away from the beach then the advertising says. It is in fact about 300 meters from the beach. There is a nice swimming pool. It is not far from Koh takiab where there is a very nice seafood restaurant "La mer" and you can easily access the main road if you want to go further south. The rooms are fairly clean but old style and could use some repairs. overall decent for the price paid.

Beach Bargain!”

This hotel is great value considering its close proximity to the beach -just 2 minutes. It has a nice pool with jacuzzi and good compact lay out of facilities on the ground floor all tastefully and naturally decorated using plants. Staff were very helpful but not too friendly. The room was very clean, quiet, and in A1 condition.

Takiab Beach Resort”

Enjoyed our stay here immensely. We picked the spot knowing it is 5km to Hua hin but we could drive there if/when we chose to. Spent most of our time at the beach and at the hotel pool. It is a small hotel so most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. In the evening we used local bars/restaurants; good food and good and value.

Silence - Hua Hin”

Defenetly a great place for spontanious sanctuary for a day or two, in case you are looking for a cheap, quiet place to hide away from BKK's rush. There are food, beer, beach restaurants, and clear sand to get some tan near by the resort. Friendly stuff, comfy balcony in every room, Worth the money!

Winter Sun”

As mentioned the hotel is in a quiet area and only about 100mt from a long and wide beach. There are plenty of places to eat and drink on the beach. The hotel is out of town (South of Hua Hin) but only about 5/10 mins by Taxi from the town centre.

Can't say I'm satisfied”

Perhaps there is nothing wrong with hotel per se - it is rather location. Beach is not what you imagine as a tropical paradise - it's decent but not perfect. It is far enough from Hua Hin center so unless you have your own wheels you will be somewhat stuck here.

Great Budget Hotel”

Quite close to the beach and also to Seapine Golf Course, easy to find, last decorated in the 1980s but for the price, great value, Breakfast is OK nothing special but very happy with my visit and will return
