Escape to Paradise: Huentawan Resort Thailand Awaits!
Okay, Buckle Up Buttercups: My Brain Just Exploded with Huentawan Resort (And It Was GOOD!)
Alright, alright, lemme just catch my breath. Trying to condense the sheer experience that is the Huentawan Resort in Thailand into a review is like trying to shove a whole mango, peel and all, into your mouth. Impossible. But I'll give it a damn good try! This is gonna be a messy, honest, and hopefully, hilarious breakdown of what to expect when you "Escape to Paradise." And trust me, the escape part is REAL.
First Impressions: Can I JUST Live Here?! (Accessibility & Safety - Let's Get Down to Brass Tacks)
So, yeah, the website promises a lot. Did it deliver? Let’s start with what matters. Accessibility: Look, I don’t have mobility issues myself, but I did check this out thoroughly because I'm mindful of everyone. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests, but honestly, I'd recommend contacting them directly about your specific needs. Don’t go assuming. Better safe than sorry, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to help with any requests.
Safety? Okay, HUGE thumbs up. Pre-COVID, I’d be less obsessed, but Huentawan gets it. The Anti-viral cleaning products, the professional-grade sanitizing services, the fact that rooms were clearly sanitized between stays (this is NOT a given these days, folks!), and the staff trained in safety protocol? Stellar. They even had hand sanitizer everywhere! They're even doing daily disinfection in common areas, and even offer room sanitization opt-out available (love that choice!). They're covering all the bases, and it put my overly-worried mind at ease.
Cleanliness? Spotless. I mean, seriously, I’m a bit of a germaphobe (don’t judge!), and I had zero issues. The rooms were immaculate, the pool area gleamed, and the restaurants… well, we’ll get to the food.
Room & Amenities: My Personal Shangri-La (AKA How I Hid From the World)
Okay, let's talk about my personal hideaway. I had a non-smoking room (essential!), and it truly was a haven. The air conditioning was a lifesaver in the Thai heat, and the blackout curtains allowed me to sleep until noon every day – pure bliss. My room had a window that opens and, a complimentary tea (this is HUGE for this Brit), a coffee/tea maker, Free bottled water, Bathrobes, slippers, and a mini bar with all sorts of guilty pleasures, and the satellite/cable channels were a nice bonus.
- Internet Access: Free Wi-Fi was, yes, EVERYWHERE! (And a strong signal. This is crucial, people!) Also, I know some rooms offered Internet access – LAN, which is a plus for business travelers (though, let's be real, I avoided any work like the plague).
- Bedtime: The bed was super comfy, and they provided an extra long bed.
- Bathroom They had a private bathroom with separate shower/bathtub. It had hair dryer, towels, and toiletries.
- Extras: I loved having my own desk to write down notes. I think this is a great option.
Things to Do (Or, You Know, Not Do - and Still Be Happy): My Relaxation Rhapsody
This is where Huentawan truly shines. It’s a resort, so expect options.
- Poolside Paradise: The swimming pool [outdoor] was stunning. The water was perfect. The pool with a view was even better. I spent entire afternoons drifting in the water, sipping cocktails (more on that later!), and occasionally trying to perfect my tan. (Spoiler alert: I failed.)
- Spa & Wellness: The spa itself was a haven. The massage was out of this world. I also tried the body scrub and the body wrap, well worth it. The Sauna, Steamroom, and Foot bath were all there to aid in relaxation.
- Fitness Freaks: They have a Fitness center, if that's your thing. (I went once. Took a photo. Left).
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Stomach's Story
Okay, let’s talk food. I'm a big eater, so this was a HUGE deal.
- Restaurants, Restaurants, Restaurants: They have a bunch of restaurants. The A la carte in restaurant options were delicious, with a variety of dishes. The buffet in restaurant provided you with a range of choices. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was amazing!
- Breakfast in Room: Seriously amazing. Lazy mornings, delivered right to your room!
- Coffee and Bars: They had a Poolside bar with amazing cocktails, which I frequented way too often, there was Happy hour and Breakfast service. I did enjoy coffee/tea in restaurant,
- Dietary Needs: They offered alternative meal arrangement options. They have a Vegetarian restaurant and salad options.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make A Big Difference
- Staff: The staff was super friendly and helpful. Always smiling and trying to make your stay the best.
- Airport Transfer was seamless and made getting there and away no problem.
- Concierge: Always available to help with any requests.
- Laundry Service: Definitely needed after a few days of sun and sand.
- Daily housekeeping was also a plus.
For the Kids:
I didn't have kids while I was there, but the Family/child friendly atmosphere was evident. They had a Babysitting service, as well as Kids facilities
Areas of Improvement (Because Even Paradise Has a Few Pebbles):
- Nothing to complain about.
The Big Takeaway: Should You Go? (Spoiler: YES, Absolutely YES!)
Huentawan Resort is amazing. It's clean, safe, and overflowing with opportunities to relax and rejuvenate. You can go out and explore Thailand, but their on-site event hosting, outdoor venue for special events, indoor venue for special events, meetings/banquet facilities and audio-visual equipment for special events makes it ideal for weddings with family and friends. The Proposal spot is an amazing spot.

Huentawan Hooligans: A Messy, Magnificent Thailand Adventure (Itinerary-ish)
Okay, so, "itinerary" is a strong word. More like a suggestion with a dash of chaos. We’re in Huentawan Resort, Thailand, and honestly, I’m still not sure I’ve fully adjusted to being horizontal. Jet lag is a beast. Buckle up, because this is less Lonely Planet and more Lonely, Slightly Panicked Human trying to navigate paradise.
Day 1: Arrival & the Great Bungalow Debacle (aka, "Where’s the Aircon?")
- 10:00 AM (ish) - Ugh, Arrival Already? Arrived at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Took a while to navigate, between the Thai language and the sheer volume of people, but finally made it to the resort. Transportation? A gloriously rickety tuk-tuk. It felt like a ride from a fever dream. I swear, the driver winked at a rogue chicken.
- 12:00 PM (ish) - Bungalow Blues: Checked into our bungalow. “Rustic charm” is the polite way of saying “falling apart with adorable bamboo.” The view? Breathtaking, of course. But the aircon… oh, the aircon! It was supposed to be included, but it was barely a gentle breeze. I swear, mosquitoes started building nests in my eyebrows. Panic level: escalating.
- 2:00 PM - The Lunch That Launched a Thousand Regrets: Found a little hut place by the beach, ordered Pad Thai (duh), and promptly set about guzzling water. Honestly, the tastebuds were still acclimatizing. This dish was the first of many with a taste of, well, Thailand. I should have asked for "safe levels of chili".
- 4:00 PM - Pre-Nap Meltdown: Called reception about the aircon. Then collapsed on the bed to take the perfect nap for a human.
- 6:00 PM - Beach Sunset vs. Reality We spent the evening on the beach, where we saw a truly amazing sunset. It was utterly incredible. Incredibly hot, and a little full of sand.
Day 2: Island Hopping & the Curse of the Seasickness
- 8:00 AM - The Breakfast Battle: Tried to eat breakfast. The "fruit" (I think it was fruit) looked suspiciously plastic and was basically inedible. The coffee was borderline battery acid. I really need to seek out some Western food.
- 9:30 AM - Island Hopping Adventure (or, The Battle of the Boat): Took a boat tour to a few nearby islands. Thought I was prepared. I mean, I brought Dramamine, right? WRONG. The boat was a fast longtail, and it took turns that made me feel like I was being thrown around like a ragdoll.
- 11:00 AM - The Coral Graveyard: Snorkeling was spectacular. Maybe I saw some fish. More probably the coral was amazing.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch on the boat: The best part of the day.
- 3:00 PM - The Nap of Shame: Passed out in a hammock in the worst way possible.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner & the Search for Deliciousness: Found a restaurant a bit up the road from the resort. The spring rolls were excellent. Also took the time to plan out how to spend the next day.
Day 3: Elephant Encounter & The Market Mayhem
- 9:00 AM (ish) - Elephant Encounters (Mostly Successful!): This was the big one I was excited and emotional about. I really wanted to see elephants in a positive way. The elephants were magnificent, intelligent, and incredibly gentle.
- 1:00 PM - Market Mayhem: The market was a cacophony of smells, sounds, and colors. I bought a questionable amount of souvenirs.
- 4:00 PM - Massage Mania: Got a Thai massage. Ouch, in the best way possible. My muscles are still screaming, but in a good way.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner Disaster (Part 2): Tried a new restaurant. The soup was a weird color. The beer was warm. I just want a decent meal! We quickly finished our food.
Day 4: Farewell Feast & the Bitter-Sweet Departure
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast Bonanza (or, a last, desperate attempt): Found an actual decent coffee shop with real coffee, a croissant, and an omelet. Success!
- 11:00 AM - Packing Purgatory: The dread is setting in. I can't believe the trip is almost over.
- 1:00 PM - Farewell Lunch: Went back to that little hut place. The food was great. I will miss this place.
- 3:00 PM - The Great Departure: Headed to the airport. One last look at the beautiful scenery was all I needed.
- 7:00 PM - Landing I'm already missing Thailand. I need to come back again.
Okay, so, clearly, this isn’t your perfectly polished travelogue. There were hiccups, moments of utter joy, and a healthy dose of near-meltdown. But that, my friends, is the beauty of travel. It's about embracing the mess, the unexpected, and the sheer, glorious chaos of being alive. Thailand, you weird and wonderful place, I'll be back. Eventually, after I've recovered from the jet lag and all of those insects.
…And maybe next time, I'll remember the mosquito repellent.

Okay, so, should I *actually* "Escape to Paradise" at Huentawan? Is it REALLY paradise? And did *you* actually escape?
Look, "paradise" is a strong word, right? I mean, my idea of paradise is endless nachos and Netflix. Huentawan... well, it's *pretty close*. Let's just say, after a week of dealing with my toddler's terrible twos (and my own impending midlife crisis), I *desperately* needed an escape. Huentawan offered that *potential* escape.
So, did I escape? Mostly. I mean, I *tried* to escape the emails, the laundry, and the endless questions of "Why?" There were moments... glorious, sun-drenched moments, where I actually forgot the chaos of daily life. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean? Pure. Bliss. Except, let’s be honest, the toddler still found a way to disrupt the serenity of a sunset swim by screaming at a seagull for stealing his french fries, but I am getting ahead of myself.
**Verdict:** It’s a strong contender for paradise. Just... bring extra patience. And earplugs. For yourself. And maybe the seagull.
What’s the vibe like at Huentawan? Is it all… yoga-pants-and-smoothies or something else?
Okay real talk, the vibe is… pretty darn chill. Think less aggressively enlightened, more… relaxed. There were definitely some yoga-pants-and-smoothie types. And the smoothies were amazing, by the way. Like, seriously good. But also families, couples, solo travelers, all just trying to… chill. The staff were incredibly helpful, but not in a "too-eager-to-please" kind of way. They were just genuinely friendly and helpful.
There was a guy, though. Always in a pristine white linen shirt. And he *definitely* looked like he was about to start chanting. But hey, more power to him, I say. I was too busy trying to figure out how to sneak another mango sticky rice before dinner. My point being, it’s a relaxed vibe, not a judgmental one. Unless you count my internal monologue. That one judges everything.
The Rooms! Let's talk rooms! Were the rooms as dreamy as the pictures?
Oh, the rooms! Okay, yes, they were dreamy. *Mostly*. I had this glorious ocean view room, and the first time I walked in, I actually gasped. Honestly. The bed was huge and comfy, the balcony overlooked the ocean. It’s like something out of a travel magazine...
Until, you know, you realize that my kid had managed to smear peanut butter *everywhere*. On the walls, the curtains, maybe even the ceiling fan. It was like a scene from a very messy, very sticky cartoon. The room itself was amazing. Clean, spacious, well-appointed. The bathroom? Gorgeous. Rainfall shower? Heaven. But I will forever associate that room with a small, peanut-butter-covered tornado of destruction.
**Pro-tip:** If you're traveling with kids (or anyone capable of making a mess), pack extra wipes. And maybe a hazmat suit. Just in case.
And the Food?! Don't keep us waiting! What's the food situation?
Oh. My. Goodness. The food. It was incredible. Seriously. I think I gained five pounds just smelling the stuff. Breakfast was a buffet of dreams: fresh fruit (the mangoes were to die for!), pastries, eggs cooked every which way.
And the dinners! There were, like, a dozen different restaurants on site. Seriously, I think. I may have lost count after the fifth plate of Pad Thai. And the seafood? Fresh. Perfectly grilled. I ate so much grilled fish, I think I started to turn into one. I can still taste the green curry. The service was fantastic, the chefs were incredibly talented, and I could only eat so much before I had to unbutton my pants.
**Anecdote Alert:** One night, I actually ordered two desserts. Two! I haven’t done that since, well, ever. It had been a really hard day of pretending to be a responsible adult, so I treated myself, and it was worth every single calorie.
What about the Spa? Did you get pampered? (Because, you know, escaping is hard work.)
Did I get pampered? Oh, absolutely. I booked a massage on day two. It was the best decision I made all week. The spa itself was beautiful. Tranquil. The scent of lemongrass and jasmine everywhere. I swear, I could feel the stress melting away.
The masseuse was a tiny, incredibly strong woman. She worked magic. I opted a Thai massage. She stretched me, pulled me, and kneaded every knot out of my aching body. It was borderline painful, but in the best possible way. I wanted to fight it, but then I remembered I was supposed to be relaxing, so instead, I just let myself be stretched into a pretzel. After that session, I swear, I floated back to my room.
**Confession:** I went back for another massage a few days later. And a facial. Don't judge me. This wasn't a vacation, it was a rescue mission. And the spa was my salvation.
Okay, the niggles now... what *didn't* you love? Gotta be something, right?
Okay, yes, there were a few minor things. The Wi-Fi, for instance, was a tad spotty sometimes. Which, okay, fine, ESCAPE FROM TECHNOLOGY! But when you're trying to upload photos of your kid destroying the room, or, you know, *maybe* check work emails (shame on me, I know), it was a little annoying. The beach, while beautiful, had a few rocks. Not a huge deal, but not quite the perfect-sand-between-your-toes experience I was hoping for. And the other guests, can't lie, sometimes they did.
Seriously, though, the biggest "complaint" is that the escape ended. That I had to go back to reality. Back to the chaos. Back to the laundry. Those are minor annoyances in the long run.
