Thanks for the great review! I wish I'd seen it last year, when my wife and I were thinking of going but got turned off by guide book descriptions of the overall Hua Hin beach as being filthy. (Sorry, I don't remember which guide books--just glanced at them while in transit at the Singapore Airport.) From your description and the photo, that does not seem to be at all true of the Hyatt portion of the beach. But how is the rest of the beach at Hua Hin, beyond the hotel property?
And in addition to the nice water and sand, has Hyatt set up on service on the beach with nice lounge chairs, waiter drink service at the chairs, etc? I assume so, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.
