Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort & Spa Cha Am is a post from: Thai Hotels Blog.

The Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort and Spa is a grand title for this palatial five star resort in Cha Am. Overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the Gulf of Siam, with a beautiful beach setting, this elegant hotel is simply the best. From the grand seating in the wood paneled restaurant to the casual outdoor Pool Bar, there is something to suit every mood and taste.

The 224 sumptuous bedrooms and villas at the Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort & Spa Cha Am have the latest clean lines and modern décor. Sophisticated luxury with a contemporary finish would best describe this top resort. The polished wood floors, opulent bathrooms with soaking bathtub, and ceramic bowl sinks, subtle natural color schemes and wood finishes make the Grand Pacific an impressive 5 star resort. Each room enjoys air conditioning, with a balcony or terrace. There is a tea/coffee maker, hairdryer and in room safe. Fluffy towels and cotton bathrobes add to the feeling decadence. The rooms have WiFi Internet access, a mini bar and plasma satellite/cable TV. Private pools are also available to make the vacation a romantic and relaxing getaway for couples.

Enjoy breakfast in your room, or in one of the three restaurants, and then take a stroll into the gardens. The outdoor infinity pool is a beautiful blend of Thai pagodas, steps, fountains and Asian ornaments, with a decorative pool bar. Enjoy the gym fitness facilities or enjoy a morning walk along the sandy beach. The Sukko Spa is a haven of tranquility offering a range of relaxing body treatments and massages.

On the fourth floor is the Bellevue coffee shop, with tempting delicacies served throughout the day. There are also three 5 star restaurants offering a gastronomic delight of cuisine from all over the world. Try the excellent Dim Sum at the Fu Lue Chinese restaurant, or traditional Italian dishes served in the Celestino Restaurant along with a fine choice of wines. The himaya Japanese Restaurant has a sushi bar and private rooms for entertaining. Pre-dinner cocktails and drinks are served in the Lobby lounge, or at the pool bar. As expected, the smiling staff are exceptionally well-trained to make your stay absolutely perfect.

Thailand is a beautiful and interesting country, full of surprises. Take a trip to see the local national parks, or the royal Summer Palace nearby, which was built on stilts. Bangkok is only two hours away by car, and is a totally different experience to the quiet calm of Cha Am. The Grand Pacific Sovereign Resort & Spa is only one of the many beautiful 5 star Cha Am resorts populating this most conveniently accessed beach town.

Five star resorts maintain a certain standard the world over, but they are more affordable in Thailand, so if you have never indulged before, now is the time to enjoy the ultimate luxury holiday in the sun.

Hua Hin Marriott Resort & Spa is a post from: Thai Hotels Blog.

After mentioning The Hua Hin Marriott Resort and Spa in an earlier post about the Hua Hin Jazz festival, I thought I’d share some photos and thoughts about the place.

We arrived quite late (around 8pm) on a Friday night because we couldn’t leave Bangkok until after I finished work. We were seated in the airy lobby (seen in the picture below) and handed chilled towels scented with jasmine and a complimentary drink while the staff got our details and checked us in.

After being shown to our room we decided to grab something to eat at the Sala Thai restaurant. This restaurant, like most of the public spaces in the hotel is open to the elements and the soft scented breeze while we ate, combined with the soft sounds of the unseen beach nearby made for quite a romantic setting. The red beef curry was delicious and even though we were the last customers in the restaurant, we never felt rushed to pay the bill and leave.

Back to room, which was pleasantly appointed, not surprising for a Marriott property. The bed was large and comfortable, with plenty of pillows and a Thai silk bed runner over the foot of the bed.

Satellite TV with all the channels you would expect, CNN, BBC, HBO, ESPN, Star movies, MTV and the like were of course available.

The bathroom was well appointed with separate bath and shower with plenty of towels, some of them folded in cute little configurations, see the elephant on the bed in the picture to the left.

I’m not usually an early riser, but for some reason on our first morning at the hotel I woke up before 6, and happened to open the curtains and was dumbstruck to find that not only was our room facing right out onto the beach, but that the most beautiful sunrise over the Gulf of Thailand was underway and we (well, I), had a perfect view from the double sized floor to ceiling glass windows. Absolutely stunning!

The next morning we decided to try the pool. Unfortunately, it seemed that while I was enjoying the sunrise at 6 am, a lot of guests from a certain European region were busy heading down to the pool to place their towels on the poolside lounge chairs to “reserve” them for when they decided to turn to the pool late morning.

After circling around the pool a few times we asked one of the pool staff if there were any places available for us to sit. He looked around and moved a couple of unaccompanied towels from some poolside lounges and told us we could sit there. About 30 minutes later we were accosted by a middle aged couple who were outraged that we were sitting in “their” seats. Thankfully, one of the pool staff soon came to our rescue and sent them on their way.
The pool is large and quite family friendly and features some waterfalls and a small slide made of stone at one end of the pool.

Overall the stay was very pleasant, the staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms comfortable and the facilities very relaxing. We would definitely stay there again.
