The main hotel is better than the newly built area, perfect for single person and businessmen. You will need transport as it is way out of town, between Hua Hin and Cha Am. The traditional lodges are best, and are located in another pat of the resort, you wouldn't know they were there unless you look or ask. If I were to return I'd ask to upgrade to one of the traditional Thai lodges as opposed to the newly built section
