In June 2012 we stayed at the Evason Hua Hin for the 5th time in as many years. The staff at this hotel are really caring and make you feel so welcome.

Whilst we were there we joined around 15 other guests and around 30 staff on a free trip to a national park which is around a 1 hour drive from the hotel. This trip was in recognition of world environment day and the purpose of our trip was to plant around 200 trees / plants as well as dig out and create a salt crater for the wild elephants to use to enhance their intake of the vital minerals they need to survive.

We were accompanied on the trip by The General Manager and his wife who are two of the nicest people you could meet. The genuinely do care about the environment and should be applauded for the work they do.

It is also clear why this hotel runs so smoothly and it's because Alan (GM) takes an interest in all aspects of the hotel. We are now very friendly with several staff members who spoke highly of his 'down to earth' approach and apparently he insists on taking most of his meals in the staff canteen, so that he can listen to the views of all of those who make this hotel so special, where as some would just surround themselves with managers and be fooled as to what was really taking place around them.

If you want to experience a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings at a price that truly hits the 'value for money' mark, then look no further.

Can't wait to return...........!

we definitely recommend this hotel. Some points to highlight:

1) Service:
- We LOVE the cheering smiles of all the staff at the hotel
- we had a problem at our hotel room (pool-villa) and the staff immediately fixed it and provided excellent help. They even upgraded us to a larger and more luxurious sea-view pool villa. Very helpful managers with fast reactions and problem-solving skills.
- Exceptionally awesome excursion and activities guides and staff, must join the long-tailed boat trip.

2) Location:
- it's located 30km away from Hua Hin Town, about 30-min by taxi (800THB). the hotel has the philosophy of eco-tourism and thus is far away from cities and towns, with serene and beautiful environment.
- less air-conditioned facilities because of eco-philosophy.

We arrived at Six Senses, Hua Hin on 13th / 14th Aug 2012 on Honeymoon & immediately fell in love with its surroundings & the privacy the resort had to offer. We instantly recognised how friendly but more importantly attentative the staff were as we had our luggage removed from our transfer vehicle to a golf cart that then took us & our belongings throughout the lovely Coconut tree-lined pathways & Lilly Ponds to the front garden of our villa where we met by our Butler (Yes Butler folks) & other friendly staff who continuously smiled and greeted us with extremely warm welcomes (I presume as a result of us being newly weds which really was unexpected, but a nice touch to begin our Honeymoon). Honestly after approx 20hrs travelling from Ireland via England / Doha / Bangkok & a serious bout of jetlag setting in, I can still remember my Bride & I had permanent smiles on our faces due to this type of service which I cannot emphasise enough, was simply unique and overwhelming. Our smiles turned into enjoyment after we were left alone to inspect our beautiful Villa & it surroundings that had been reserved for us, the Honeymoon couple. We were met with a private villa (secluded from any prying neighbours) that had its own pool with a view of the sea. The privacy of our own pool was enjoyed during the day & we particularly enjoyed the privacy of having a late night dip before retiring to bed. The Villa had its own external lounge / living room area with a cooling fan & surround sound music system that could be easily controlled while sunbathing or lounging around the pool + the luxury of an external bath that was sunken into the Lilly Ponds a few feet from our comfortable double bed & was accessed via double sliding doors (very nice touch of luxury that saw my wife enjoy several soaks with the lovely scented bath salts provided). Inside the Villa was comfortable with all amenities you would need during your stay including a walk-in indoor & external shower room. The air conditioning was an added bonus & was welcomed after sunbathing or arriving home from excursions or a meal as it provided us with a peaceful & cooling nights sleep. The Villa was maintained twice a day during our stay to a very high standard by the very attentative staff who would arrive while we had breakfast on-site & amazingly be gone when we returned to find the Villa spotless clean & looking like we had not been residing there during our honeymoon. The staff would then return at night to "Turn-Down" our bed ensuring our Mosquito net was fixed in case of insect annoyance which except for a few bites to my wife's lower legs while sunbathing, there was none to discuss thankfully so Top Marks to those staff who carry out these duties in a happy & contented manner. The resort had everything we desired in terms of relaxation & privacy but unfortunately we did not get to experience any of the on-site Spa Treatments on offer (which my wife has regretted ever since). The food was outstanding on-site in particular the Thai restaurant "King Shai" where we dined quite a few times during our visit. Picture a dining experience with your table in an island surrounded by Lilly Ponds, then think of authentic Thai instrumental tunes being played by local musicians & you only have a slight insight to what we experienced on a number of occasions - Oh before I 4get order the deep fried Garlic King Prawns & the Lobster, Pure Bliss. The staff who yet again where amazingly good at what they do, got to know us both & what we liked to eat including the wonderful spicy Papaya Salad which we ordered on each visit (this is Thailand on a plate, try it)! We would particularly like to thank the Guest Manager Alan & his beautiful wife Ute for their hospitality, assistance and professional manner in dealing with our only major concern that took place at the beginning of our honeymoon. We would also like to offer our sincere thanks to Ute & Alan by providing their knowledge and assistance of the area that included a day trip to the local golf course after much harassment from myself (a memory that we will never forget even though I got thrashed by a descent golfing enthusiast lol). All in all, the best holiday destination & resort we have ever visited with the service, friendliness and facilities being outstanding & leaving us both with proper Honeymoon memories that we will cherish the rest of our lives - OUR SINCERE THANKS & TOP MARKS ALL ROUND TO ALL SIX SENSES STAFF AT HUA HIN!

We would dearly love to visit Six Senses again next year with two children (aged 10 & 13 & staying in a Deluxe Suite No: 50) & would very much like to book this on our own & not via a travel agent (is this a better idea)? Any advice with this & flight ideas from Ireland would be appreciated (I think we travelled on an "Early Bird" special offer package for our honeymoon e.g. Stay 7 nights, Pay for 5 with a further discount if booked before certain date etc). We will also be trying to find out about special offers at the Six Senses that we could avail of however, we are concerned other travellers comments on this site imply it is difficult to book a holiday via the Six Senses / Evason website? What we would ideally like is a long stay between 14 & 21 nights with hopefully Spa treatments included in any Special Offer rates.
