We stayed at Kaban Tamor in December 2002. It's a lovely small resort in Khao Takiab on the outskirts of Hua Hin. The rooms are cute little round bungalows and were spotlessly clean and very romantic - they sprinkled petals on your bed every morning which we thought was lovely.
The restaurant was good - we had lunch there several times but only ate there a couple of times at night as we preferred to go into Hua Hin centre. It was quite romantic at night, as you can sit at candlelit tables very close to the sea. The food was authentic and spicy, and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was fine, perfectly adequate but nothing special, as is the norm in most Thai hotels. The pool is quite small but very refreshing to swim in and was rarely too busy when we were there - it could be hard to get a sun lounger round the pool though. The hotel is right on the beach, although we were a bit disappointed with the beach and spent more time by the pool which is unusual for us. The garden and restaurant area offers wonderful views of the Khao Takiab Golden Buddha
We were slightly concerned on arrival about the location, but it did not prove to be a problem as you could easily get a tuk-tuk outside the hotel for 100B which took less than 10 minutes to get to the centre of Hua Hin. There are also shared songthaews going back and forth between Khao Takiab and Hua Hin centre for just 10B each, but you have to time it right. The hotel also provided free transport a couple of times a day. There's not much in the town of Khao Takiab, except for the Gold Buddha at the end of the beach where you can climb the steps up to the temple.
