Cae Villa Hua Hin

I stayed at Cae Villas for seven nights in early May. We were looking for a spacious place to unwind at the end of our trip, and the villa's central location and generous square footage made it an appealing choice. The villa itself is beautifully designed and comfortably furnished, with an enormous amount of space both indoors and outdoors. It offers a great deal of privacy, as all neighboring villas are separated by walls. The natural light is abundant, and the lighting throughout the villa is excellent. The air conditioning unit worked effectively, and the bed and pillows were comfortable and clean. The location is quite central, making it easy to walk to various attractions. However, the only drawback is that accessing the main road requires walking along the busy Soi 88. This is a minor issue if you’re not planning a beachside holiday. My biggest concern was the cleanliness of the property and the room. Many surfaces had not been properly cleaned for a long time, with sticky stains on the kitchen bench, dead mosquitoes, dust, and mold in the bathroom. You won’t be able to see through the wine glasses as they were covered with fingerprints. I felt compelled to wipe everything down with antibacterial wipes before placing my belongings on the counters and in the wardrobe. The outside flooring was so dirty that walking barefoot left my feet black, requiring a scrub afterward. We also avoided using the pool or bath, as they appeared filthy and were covered in dust and dry leaves. Additionally, the room had a slightly unpleasant odor. Be prepared for nightly noise from the nearby food court, which plays music until midnight, as well as drum practice from the adjacent school. Although I requested a quiet room and was given a villa away from the road, the music was still quite loud. Since we did not pay a premium price, I chose not to complain, as I understand that you often get what you pay for. However, upon checkout, I left a tip for the cleaners on the bed and waited for airport transport at the reception. Shortly after, the receptionist informed me that they found a small blood stain on the sheet and that we would have to pay 1,200 baht for damage. I pointed out that the sheet would be washed and the stain would come off. They presented me with a price list for damages, highlighting the cost for bedding. Second option offered to me was to pay 750 baht and keep the sheet. I returned to the room, washed the stain out, and resolved the “irreversible damage.” This situation was quite unpleasant, as it felt unreasonable to expect guests to maintain pristine cleanliness in a hotel that was not itself clean. With a thorough deep clean and some necessary maintenance, this property could be exceptional. Overall, it is a pleasant and comfortable place to stay at an affordable price.
