Escape to Paradise: Amit Resort 51 Hua Hin - A Review (With Honest Quirks!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on Amit Resort 51 in Hua Hin. This isn't your average, meticulously crafted hotel review. This is the real deal, warts and all. And trust me, there were a few… delightful… warts.
First Impressions & Accessibility (Getting There… and Around):
Hua Hin itself is a dream. Beaches, markets, the whole shebang. Amit Resort 51? Well, getting there was pretty painless. They offer airport transfer (a godsend after a long flight!) and have on-site parking that's free of charge. Bonus! And they've got a car park [on-site] too, but I'm assuming that's for more than just the freebies. Valet parking is there, which I totally didn't use because I was too terrified of scratching a car that wasn't mine.
Now, accessibility. This is a big one. I'd say they're aiming for it, bless them, but it's a mixed bag. They advertise facilities for disabled guests, and an elevator is definitely welcome. But I noticed some areas weren't perfectly up to snuff for full wheelchair access, and it would be nice if they clarified this on their booking. I'm talking proper ramps, not just "we tried."
Rooms & Creature Comforts (The Cozy Bits, and the Slightly Less Cozy):
The room itself… oh, the room. I opted for a non-smoking room (thank GOD). The air conditioning worked! Praise be! It was crucial. The blackout curtains were glorious, making sleeping in possible, which the jetlag desperately needed. They had bathrobes (fancy!), slippers (even fancier!), and complimentary tea, which I inhaled every morning. They had free bottled water but it should be free and plentiful. Seriously, I finished a bottle so quickly after arriving. The satellite/cable channels saved me from boredom, but the in-room safe box was a godsend for peace of mind. Speaking of which, they have smoke detectors and smoke alarms for extra brownie points. No one likes a burnt down hotel.
The bathroom? The separate shower/bathtub was great for when I wanted a bubble bath and the toiletries were alright, you know. The hair dryer saved my sanity, as did the mirror. But the additional toilet was a lie!
Internet – The Digital Dilemma (Or, How I Survived Without My Phone… Kinda):
Okay, let's be honest. I'm addicted to the internet. So the free Wi-Fi in all rooms! was a HUGE selling point. And it worked. For the most part. But sometimes I lost connection. The Internet access – LAN and Internet access – wireless also exists, which I needed. They also offered Internet services which, for the record, made it possible to post my Instagram photos. Wi-Fi in public areas wasn't always the strongest, which was a bummer when I wanted to quickly upload a picture of the pool.
Food, Glorious Food (And the Occasional Mystery Meat):
Right, dining. This is where things get interesting. They've got restaurants, a coffee shop, and a snack bar. I dabbled in all of them. The Asian cuisine in the restaurant was delicious. I had some incredible Pad Thai. But there was this one morning… the buffet in the restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag. There was a thing. I don't know what it was. It looked vaguely meat-adjacent. I politely avoided it.
They did offer Asian Breakfast, Western Breakfast and that was great. They served coffee/tea in the restaurant. They also do room service [24-hour], which is perfect for those late-night cravings. They have a poolside bar which is a major plus. I highly recommend the smoothies. They also have happy hour, which is essential.
Relaxation Station (Spa Days and Gym Time – Maybe):
This is where Amit Resort shines. They've got the works! A gorgeous swimming pool [outdoor] (and a pool with a view!), a spa, a sauna, and a steam room. My personal favorite? The massage. Oh, the massage! I surrendered myself to a lovely Thai woman, and poof, my stress evaporated. Pure bliss. They offer Body scrub and Body wrap but I didn't try those.
The Fitness center seemed decent, the Gym/fitness was there and functional. I intended to hit it. But the pool was calling. So I didn't. But you could. They also have a foot bath, if you're into that sort of thing.
Cleanliness & Safety (In the New Normal… or, the Sanitizing Saga):
Okay, let's talk COVID. They're doing their best. They have anti-viral cleaning products, they do daily disinfection in common areas, and the staff is trained in safety protocol. They even have hand sanitizer everywhere. They offer room sanitization opt-out available and I appreciated the efforts. They seem to be taking it seriously. They offer safe dining setup. They offer Individually-wrapped food options.
Things to Do (Beyond Lounging by the Pool):
Honestly? I mostly lounged by the pool. And read. And napped. But there are things to do. They have a terrace, which looks lovely. They offer an airport transfer which is perfect, and they have bicycle parking, if you're feeling sporty. They have a concierge, which I didn't use (because I'm a self-sufficient traveler, mostly).
They also offer meeting/banquet facilities and can host seminars and apparently offer seminars . They're prepared, they have the facilities, but, honestly, I was there to escape.
The Weird Stuff (Some Oddities and Quirks):
Okay, gotta get this off my chest. There was a shrine on the property. Which was fine, I guess. But it was just… there. I'm not sure what the point was, but whatever. The convenience store was great, but the prices were a little… ambitious. But everything else was perfect.
The Final Verdict (Would I Go Back?)
Look, Amit Resort 51 isn’t perfect. It's got some quirks. Some minor imperfections. It's not the Ritz. But it's charming. It's comfortable. The pool is divine. The massages are life-changing. The staff is friendly. And really, that's what matters.
So, would I go back? YES. Absolutely. Just maybe, next time, I'll skip the mystery meat.

Amit Resort 51 Hua Hin: A Chaotic Romantic Comedy (aka, My Trip Plan)
Day 1: Arrival, Humidity, and the Almighty Mango Sticky Rice
- 1:00 PM: Arrival & Initial Panic. Landed in Bangkok. Holy humidity, Batman! It's like someone draped a warm, wet blanket over the entire city. (Side note: I now understand why Thai people are always smiling. They're just happy they haven't melted). Made it to Hua Hin via a slightly-dodgy-but-charming taxi. The driver kept yelling "Good morning!" at like, 3 PM. I'm pretty sure he was just having a really good day.
- 2:30 PM: Amit Resort 51 - The First Impression. Found the resort. It's… charming. In the way that a slightly-rustic, mosquito-infested garden is charming. The pool looks amazing from the pictures, but I'm betting there are more than a few rogue lizards lurking in the shadows. Still, the staff were lovely, and the room, while basic, has air conditioning AND a balcony! Major win.
- 3:30 PM: The Battle with the Mosquito. Unpacked. Armed myself with insect repellant. Started thinking the resort is less charming and more a potential horror movie set, but lets see.
- 4:30 PM: Mango Sticky Rice - The Answer to All Problems. Walked to the beach (about a 5-minute stumble). Found a little shack that served the most divine mango sticky rice I've ever tasted. Seriously, if I could marry a dessert, it would be this. Sat there, watched the waves, completely forgot about the jet lag and the rogue lizard possibilities. Problem solved.
- 6:00 PM: Sunset & Contemplation (and Cocktails). Found a beach bar. Ordered a Chang beer. Watched the sunset. Briefly contemplated my life choices. All of them were fine, except for the one where I didn't buy that dress in Paris. Ah well, mango sticky rice erases all regrets. Maybe.
- 7:30 PM: Food Tour (or, I'm Just So Hungry!). Found a street food stall. Ate some Pad Thai. Ate some spring rolls. Ate something I couldn't identify but it was unbelievably delicious. My stomach is very happy, and my brain is slightly fried from the sun AND the beer.
- 9:00 PM: Bedtime. (Hopefully, without Lizard Encounters). Collapsed into bed. Praying for no mosquito attacks. And maybe a lizard-free night. Fingers crossed.
Day 2: Beach, Booze, and the Mystery of the Lost Sunglasses
- 8:00 AM: Wake Up, Sunburn Check. Woke up! No lizard sightings! However, feeling a delightful tingle on my shoulders… aka, sunburn. Oops. Sunscreen is officially my new best friend.
- 9:00 AM: Pool Time (and the Great Sunglasses Disappearance). Headed to the pool. Glorious! Spent an hour floating, contemplating the universe (and avoiding the other guests, who seem to have perfected the art of casual, effortless cool). Then, disaster struck. My sunglasses… vanished. Gone. Poof. Suspect number one: the hotel cat, who has been giving me the side-eye since I arrived.
- 10:30 AM: Beach Exploration (and Sunglasses Hunt). Rummaged through the sand, the beach, the bushes. Nothing. This is a tragedy of epic proportions. The sunglasses weren't just stylish, they were part of me.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch and the Mourning of the Sunglasses. Found a beachside restaurant to eat while looking for the sunglasses, but there were not at all.
- 1:00 PM: Massage - A Tropical Balm for the Soul. Okay, sunglasses are gone. Time for a little self-love. Booked a massage. Did I mention the massage was cheap? This made me feel better.
- 2:30 PM: Back to the Pool (and More Contemplation). Back at the pool, now without sunglasses, and still having a strong feeling the hotel cat is behind it.
- 5:00 PM: Sunset & Emotional Breakdown (Almost). The sunset was beautiful, but I couldn't help but mourn the loss of my sunglasses. I mean, how bad could a day get?
- 6:30 PM: Dinner and a New Perspective. Went for dinner, and somehow, I stopped thinking about the sunglasses. Turns out, a plate of green curry can fix almost anything, especially after a day like today. Also, I swear I saw the hotel cat wearing a pair of very familiar-looking shades…
Day 3: Markets, Monkeys, and Maybe a Little Chaos
- 9:00 AM: Market Mania! Ventured to the Cicada Market. Holy moly, the smells! SO MANY SMELLS. Street food paradise! Tried a coconut ice cream and nearly cried tears of joy. Wandered around, bought a few trinkets I probably don't need, and generally reveled in the organized chaos.
- 11:00 AM: Monkey Business (Literally!). Took a little day trip to a nearby temple with a ton of monkeys. They're cute, but also… brazen. They will steal your food, your hat, your dignity. (I narrowly avoided a hat-related incident). One of them stared me down like he knew I'd lost my sunglasses, and I swear it winked.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch with Monkeys. Found a place, but was a bit too frightened of going hungry to leave my food unattended.
- 2:00 PM: The Search for Sunglasses Resumes (and a New Enemy Arises). Back at the resort and still nothing on the sunglasses. I've now decided the hotel cat is definitely in on it. New enemy: the cat.
- 4:00 PM: Beach Time & Contemplation (Again). Went to the beach and watched the waves. A little bit of peace, and watched the sun set again.
- *6:00 PM: Dinner & Maybe a Bit Too Much Wine ** Went down the street for dinner. Maybe had a bit too much wine.
- 8:00 PM: Back to the Resort and the Cat. Ran into the hotel cat on the way back, and gave it the stink eye.
Day 4: Departure (and the lingering feeling of sandy toes and a missing pair of sunglasses)
- 8:00 AM: Packing and Last-Minute Panic. Tried to pack. Which became a complete disaster, because I bought too much stuff.
- 9:00 AM: Final Morning Stroll (and a Final Search). One last walk by the beach to breathe everything in.
- 10:00 AM. The cat was also chilling at the beach.
- 11:00 AM: Departure and Farewell. Taxi to the airport. Goodbye, Hua Hin. I'll be back, with an improved suncream strategy, and hopefully, a new pair of sunglasses. Also, watch out, hotel cat, your reign of terror is now on my mind.
- 12:00 PM: Arrive airport.
- 12:30 PM: Flight. The flight will be long, but I know I'll miss this fun mess!
Post-Trip Thoughts:
This trip was less about perfect temples and more about perfect mango sticky rice. It was about finding pure joy in the little things, like a glorious sunset and a plate of questionable street food. And, yes, I'm still a little salty about the sunglasses. But mostly, I'm just happy I got myself out there, got a little messy, and lived to tell the tale. Thailand, you win. I'll be back. And the cat? The cat has a date with karma.
Goa's BEST Budget Stay? D'souza Lakeview Villa Secret Revealed!
So, is Amit Resort 51 actually "Escape to Paradise" material? Because, let's be real, promises get broken.
Alright, alright, let's get the elephant in the room out of the way. "Paradise?" Look, it's *Hua Hin*, people. It's gorgeous. But paradise? That depends on your definition. I, personally, would trade a yak's fortune for a genuinely good cup of coffee in a hotel room without having to order it from room service at 7 am. **More on this later!** But seriously, it leans towards paradisiacal, if you're willing to overlook the little things. The ocean? Gorgeous. The pool? Instagrammable (if you can snag a sunbed). The staff? Mostly lovely, bless their hearts. But perfection? Nah. Life's too short to expect it. I'd call it... a very good shot at a relaxing vacation with some pretty stellar scenery.
Let's talk rooms. Are they as luxurious as they boast? And what about the inevitable "small hotel room" trap?
Okay, room time. I splurged on a suite, because, well, I needed a space to *breathe*. And the suite *was* nice. Big, balcony, ocean view... *chef's kiss*. The bathroom was larger than some studio apartments I've lived in. But here's the thing: even in the suite, the actual "luxury" was… spotty. The aircon could be temperamental (cue me, sweating and fanning myself like a Victorian lady). And the "smart TV"? Well, let's just say my grandmother could probably navigate it better. But honestly? After a day or two, I stopped caring. I was there to chill, not to critique the tech. The smaller rooms? I peeked in on a friend, and yeah, they're… cozy. Perfectly fine, but definitely not palatial. Basically, pay for the upgrade if you crave space. If you don't, you'll be fine, just expect to be slightly more intimate with your luggage.
What's the deal with the food? Because a bad food experience can ruin an entire vacation. I'm talking real talk.
Okay, food. This is where things get… interesting. The breakfast buffet, bless its cotton socks, was a *mixed bag*. Some days, the roti were fluffy perfection, other days they were… well, let's just say I nearly broke a tooth. The fruit selection was generally good, especially the mangoes (when in season, people!). The coffee… oh god, the coffee. It was weak. Like, "woke-up-and-regretted-my-life" weak. I ended up bringing my own instant coffee (don't judge!). The restaurant itself? Pretty, right on the water, good for watching the sunrise. The dinner menu had some hits and misses. The Thai food was generally good, the International food... less so. Lesson? Stick with the Pad Thai and the fresh seafood. My personal highlight was the pineapple fried rice. Utterly divine. Now, the service? That’s where things got a little… *slow*. Be prepared to wait, and to be patient. You're on vacation, remember? Take a deep breath, order another Singha, and relax. You'll survive.
The location. Is it easy to get around? Is there anything to do besides sit by the pool (tempting...very tempting...)?
Okay, location, location, location! Amit Resort is *right* on the beach – bonus points! You can practically roll out of bed and into the sea (not recommended, but you *could*). Getting around? Hua Hin is pretty easy. The resort offers taxis and tuk-tuks, which are perfect for short trips. Walking? Depends on how far you want to go, and the weather (it's hot, people!). There's plenty to do besides pool-sitting: night markets, temples, more beaches, and honestly Hua Hin is about as laid-back as it gets. The cicadas are a bit noisy, but you get used to it. Okay, and *here's* the thing: go to the Cicada Market. Get yourself some tasty street food, pick up some souvenirs, and embrace the chaos. I’ve been to a few markets. This isn't my favorite, but its got something to offer for a first-timer.
The pool situation. Is it a fight for sunbeds? And what about the vibes? I need to know!
The *pool*. Ah, the pool. Okay, the pool is beautiful. Infinity edge, right on the beach, that whole tropical fantasy thing. The water? Refreshing, not overly chlorinated, which is a win. The sunbed situation? This is where it gets real, folks. It's not as bad as some resorts, but the early-morning towel-deployment game is definitely a thing. You know the type: the people who get up at dawn, place their towels on the best beds, and then disappear for hours. It's annoying, but sadly, it's a universal travel problem. My advice? Wake up early, grab a space, or resign yourself to a less-than-prime location. As for the vibes? Relaxed, but with a little bit of posing. You get the picture… some people are there to chill, others are there to Instagram their "perfect life." Just ignore 'em and soak up the sun. Honestly, I got up at dawn one morning, nabbed a lounger, and watched the sunrise over the ocean. It was *glorious*. Worth the early wake-up, no question.
Any advice on the Spa? I'm all for a little pampering. Did it live up to the hype?
The Spa. Oh, sweet, sweet Spa. Okay, here's my confession: I booked *way* too many massages. I was practically a spa-going addict by the end of the trip. The spa at Amit Resort? Lovely. The setting is serene, the treatment rooms are beautiful, and the therapists... are *magicians*. Seriously. I had a traditional Thai massage that practically melted my muscles into a puddle of bliss. The prices are reasonable, especially compared to Western standards. My advice? Book at least one treatment. Or two. Or three. Just… remember to leave room in your schedule for actual vacation activities as well! Honestly, after a few days of sun and swimming, I was basically a pile of anxiety noodles just *begging* for a massage. The spa saved me. Every. Single. Time.
Okay, real talk. The downsides. What are the things I *really* need to know that the brochure won't tell me?
Alright, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Here's the unvarnished reality: The internet can be spotty, especially in the rooms. Pack a hotspot or prepare to disconnect. The beach, while gorgeous, can get a little littered with trash (seaweed, the occasional plastic bottle). It got better the further into the trip I went, and the resort staff work hard, but it's a thing. Sometimes, the music from the bar canStay Scouter
