The Anantasila Beach Resort probably has the best beach location in the HuaHin area with a relatively sheltered sea front but with more easily accessible areas for surfing. There are all the usual activities, amenities and food stalls along the lovely long beach front and it's easy to walk to Sea Pines Golf Club and beyond to the public beaches. We had booked the relatively cheaper Como room not realising that this is in a separate building away from the main hotel block which had a rather deserted unfinished feel, the room was small with no view, didn't feel relaxing to us so we asked if we could move to the main area which, for an increase in cost, the staff very helpfully and quickly arranged. This new room was so much better, larger, nearer everything and with a good view. The only downside was the proximity to the public beach access road and more specifically the dustbins which were emptied every morning between 6 and 7 am by a rather noisy bun lorry, not something the hotel can control. The swimming pool is excellent although while the sun loungers on one side are just outside guests rooms sliding patio doors are for all guests, it would feel very awkward to take these. Breakfast is excellent and nothing is too much trouble for the very helpful and always pleasant staff. The location is a bit away from the centre of town, the hotel has a shuttle but it’s worth hiring a scooter to get to Cicada, the shopping malls, the night street market and other sights.
