Baan Duangkaew Resort

Lovely property, really well maintained and traditional feel.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hua Hin on our last visit, so we already knew we loved this area. This time, I wanted something more private to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and the secluded bungalows provided the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, just a one-minute walk from both the Cicada and Tamarind night markets. What truly made our stay special was the exceptional staff. The woman at the front desk, who may have been the manager, was incredibly kind to my parents and always made a point to greet us warmly whenever she saw us. The young gentleman at the front was also very welcoming—he even noticed my dad struggling to park due to motorbikes in the way and immediately ran over to help move them. The security guard was just as friendly, always greeting us with a smile each morning. That said, there’s some room for improvement. Breakfast could be enhanced by offering fresh milk with coffee instead of powdered packets. Additionally, while the location is fantastic, the live music from Cicada Market can be heard until 11 PM, which might be a downside for light sleepers. Overall, a pleasant stay with great service and a convenient location.

Beautiful villa complex with a pristine central pool. The villa itself is spotless, well-maintained, and impressively soundproofed—especially given the nearby noise from the Cicada Market. Each villa has a spacious, smoker-friendly terrace with a great view of the surrounding property and neighboring villas, all impeccably cared for. The pool is crystal-clear, and every villa comes with its own set of comfortable sunbeds. A fantastic stay overall.

Breakfast was wonderful, so nice they deliver to your deck. The pool was sparkling clean and refreshing to take a morning dip in. The property is perfectly located near 2 night markets so you can easily walk. I chose this for a Thai experience rather than a big chain hotel and it was exactly what I wanted. Also the restaurant next door was elegant and food fantastic. Def stay here, great value too. Staff extremely helpful. Thank you!!!

Location was great, an easy walk to the beach and to the night markets (cicada and tamarind). Although we found both markets to be overpriced for food, especially cicada. Nice atmosphere though. It was off the main road..by all means..DO NOT book a hotel on the main road..or at least don't let them give you a room facing the road. The noises from the late night motorcycles will be too much. So this area was peaceful. The atmosphere was magical..more memorable than a standard anonymous hotel with long hallways. The pool was nice in the evening. Quiet and romantic. The breakfast served to your patio in the morning was nice. The rooms had a nice charming feel, although the exterior was a little dated. Price was fair...we recommend switching locations every three nights to keep things fresh. Staying anywhere too long will make the vacation more repetitive and mundane. It's worth packing every three days and transport to a new hotel is only 100 baht. It was also nice to be on the green baht bus line...an easy 15 baht to get to the malls or hua hin night market further north.
