Escape to Paradise: OYO 899 Villa De Hun - Thailand Awaits! (Or Does It?) - A Raw & Real Review

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on OYO 899 Villa De Hun in Thailand. Forget the glossy brochure, I’m talking about the REAL experience, the good, the bad, and the hilariously awkward. This review is going to be less "polished travel blog" and more "drunkenly scribbled journal entry after a particularly strong Singha beer." Let’s dive in!

Accessibility: (The Good… Mostly)

Okay, so, initially, I was slightly dreading the whole accessibility thing. I'm not exactly thrilled about navigating a place with a wheelchair as some "paradise resorts" seem to forget about inclusivity. HOWEVER, OYO 899 Villa De Hun actually made some effort. They say they have facilities for disabled guests, but specifics were…vague. There is a lift, which is a massive win (whew!), and the main areas – the pool, the restaurant – seemed (from a quick glance) navigable. But honestly? I didn't scope it out in detail (sorry, I'm not a mobility expert, but I did see a ramp or two!), so be sure to call ahead if this is a major concern. My overall impression was that it was better than most in Thailand but still not perfect.

Cleanliness & Safety: (COVID-19 Era - A Bit of a Wild Card)

We're living in the age of hand sanitizer, so let’s see how OYO 899 Villa De Hun did with cleanliness and safety. And honestly? It felt like a mixed bag. Anti-viral cleaning products? Probably. Professional-grade sanitizing services? They claimed so, with "Rooms sanitized between stays" and "Daily disinfection in common areas." But… did I see it? Not necessarily. I did see staff wearing masks and hand sanitizer readily available (yay!), but the whole thing felt a little… casual. I didn’t get the feeling of a full-blown, germ-busting operation happening. They had most of the usual COVID protocols.

They did have a doctor/nurse on call, a first aid kit and hygiene certification so I guess it was enough.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: (Food Coma Incoming!)

Okay, this is where things get interesting. The food at OYO 899 Villa De Hun? It's… a tale.

  • Restaurants: They have multiple restaurants! Asian and International cuisine. A buffet alongside an a la carte? Yes! But the quality… fluctuating wildly. Remember, this is an OYO, not the Four Seasons. One day, the Pad Thai was glorious. The next? A soggy, sad affair.
  • Breakfast: Asian, Western, and Buffet-style breakfast? YES! You can expect your typical breakfast. But it was all safe. Safe, I tell you! But they definitely did their best.
  • Bar & Poolside Bar: They’ve got a bar, which is a plus. And a poolside bar? Score! But let's be clear, the drinks aren't going to be Michelin-star level. Think… refreshing, cheap and made with love.
  • Snack Bar and 24-Hour Room Service: Excellent!

On the plus side, they offer alternative meal arrangements, so if you are vegetarian or have other dietary restrictions, you're not completely screwed. Overall? The food is hit or miss. Lower your expectations, and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Things to Do (And How to Relax): (Spa Day, Here I Come!)

This is where OYO 899 Villa De Hun shines, or at least tries to.

  • Spa: Yes, there's a spa! A glorious oasis, offering massages, body wraps, and scrubs! The massage was the highlight - absolutely incredible! After one of those, I was ready to be rolled back to the hotel room and tucked in. The prices are pretty reasonable, too!
  • Pools and Views: The pool with the view? Yes! The pool had a view. A pretty view! A lovely, relaxing area.
  • Fitness Center: They have a gym. I did not use it. Judge me.

They also have a sauna and steam room.

So, if you're looking to chill out, get pampered, and basically melt into a puddle of blissful relaxation, this is a good spot.

Services and Conveniences: (The Good, The Bad, and the "Huh?")

This is where OYO 899 Villa De Hun is a bit of a grab bag.

  • Good: Concierge, Daily housekeeping (thank god!), laundry service, currency exchange, a convenience store.
  • Unexpected: Contactless check-in/out! (Thank you, technology!)
  • Huh?: Facilities for disabled guests. (See above - vague but present.)
  • Possibly Annoying: The internet. Free Wi-Fi is advertised, but the signal strength in my room was… patchy. I made do, but if you need to do serious work, don't rely on it. Consider Internet access [LAN] or internet services
  • The oddities: The elevator. The elevator was… an elevator.

For the Kids: (Family-Friendly, But…)

They claim to be family-friendly, with babysitting services and kids' meals. Though I'm not a parent, I'd say the kids facilities are probably fine but not mind-blowing.

Available in All Rooms (The Essentials):

  • Air conditioning (Hallelujah!), Closet, Complimentary tea/coffee, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, Private bathroom, Shower, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi (free), and a window that opens!
  • The extra's were less exciting. I had an alarm clock, and an in-room safe box.

Getting Around: (Easy Peasy!)

  • Airport Transfer: They offer airport transfers, which is a godsend after a long flight!
  • Car Parking: Free car parking, on-site.
  • Taxi Service: Easy access to taxis.

Overall Impression:

OYO 899 Villa De Hun isn’t a luxury resort but it's a decent option if you want to relax in Thailand. The staff are friendly, the spa is amazing, and most of the hotel is reasonably clean. The food can be hit or miss, and the internet can be temperamental. If you are looking for a budget-friendly getaway where you can relax, you might be happy.

Final Verdict: So, Should You Stay?

If you are looking for a luxurious getaway, probably not. If you're a budget traveler, are looking for a relaxing time in Thailand, want a decent spa, and don’t mind a few imperfections, then YES! The price is right, the massages are divine, and the overall vibe is relaxed.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your meticulously planned, colour-coded travel itinerary. Nah, this is the raw, unfiltered, and likely disastrous account of my time at OYO 899 Villa De Hun in Thailand. Prepare for chaos.

Day 1: Arrival (and the Great Mosquito Massacre)

  • Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Flight from… let’s just say “Somewhere Else.” Turbulence. I hate turbulence. I swear, the kid behind me kicked my seat approximately 87 times. Ate airplane food, which, as always, tasted vaguely of sadness and regret.
  • Arrival at Krabi Airport (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Luggage appeared, miraculously intact. Thank you, tiny gods of baggage handling! The humidity hit me like a warm, wet blanket. Instantly regretted my jeans.
  • Transfer to Villa De Hun (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Taxi driver was awesome, spoke broken English, mostly about his love for Man United (bleh). Got a glimpse of the scenery – lush, green, promising. Hope.
  • Check-in (11:00 AM - 11:30 AM): Villa De Hun! Looked exactly like the pictures, maybe…slightly…flimsier? The staff were lovely though, bless their hearts, and gave me the keys.
  • Room Reconnaissance & Mosquito Armageddon (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM): Okay, the room's cute. Pool looks inviting. But then… the mosquitoes. Oh. My. GOD. They were like tiny, bloodthirsty vampires. I swear I killed at least twenty. Sprayed the room with the provided insect repellent. Smelled like a chemical factory. Started plotting my revenge. This is the first thing which truly annoyed me, I can not enjoy in peace.
  • Lunch (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Walked to a restaurant down the road. Ordered Pad Thai. It was…alright. The sticky rice was the real MVP. Ate the whole plate, shamefully.
  • Pool Time (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Bliss. Pure, unadulterated, mosquito-free bliss (thanks to copious amounts of repellent). Sun, water, quiet…until a flock of noisy kids arrived. Sigh. Still, a solid hour of relaxation. The sun was nice.
  • Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Spent the night in the villa. The villa feels cold and very empty at night. I went to the restaurant but still unable to enjoy the food. Just a depressing day.

Day 2: Islands, Scams, and Existential Dread

  • Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Woke up feeling…unenthusiastic. Breakfast at the villa. It was very simple, almost lacking in quality. Made a mental note to find somewhere else to eat tomorrow.
  • Island Tour (9:00 AM - 4:00 PM): Booked a tour to the Phi Phi Islands. Beautiful! The water was the colour of a damn gemstone. Snorkelling was meh. Didn’t see any Nemo, but I did see some grumpy looking fish.
  • The Scams (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM): The vendors on the beach were relentless. Felt like I was constantly being pressured to buy something. Got swindled into buying a "genuine" beach towel that disintegrated after the first wash. Learnt a valuable lesson: trust no one.
  • Lunch (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Lunch was included in the tour, which was lucky because I was too tired to look for food. It was a very basic meal and the quality was very subpar. I still enjoyed the view though.
  • Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): More island hopping. Maya Bay. Cool. Too many people, though. The whole place felt…spoiled. Still, the scenery was undeniably stunning. Started thinking about whether I should change my job, a rather unearthly feeling.
  • Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Back at the villa. Shower. The water pressure was weak, but I was too tired to care. Had some noodles and, surprisingly, felt better. The day was a long one. Started watching a bad movie to distract myself, but got bored and went to bed early.

Day 3: Cooking Class – My Culinary Catastrophe

  • Morning (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Actually managed to get out of bed with some semblance of energy. Decided to try the villa’s small pool, which was more like a large puddle. The water was cold, but I didn't particularly enjoy.
  • Cooking Class! (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Booked a Thai cooking class, which had looked great in the brochure! I thought I was going to become a culinary master. Reality: I set the wok on fire. Twice. The teacher, bless her patience, just laughed and gently guided me. The result was edible! Mostly. I made Green Curry (a bit too much spice) and Mango Sticky Rice (miraculously delicious!). Felt like a total idiot, but also…triumphantly full?
  • Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Stared at the small puddle that was the villa's pool. Reflected on how much I miss my own bed. Read a book until I fell asleep.
  • Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Ate leftover curry (still very spicy). Watched a movie (another bad one). Started wondering why I still travel alone. Felt slightly lonely. Went for a walk to calm myself.

Day 4: The Beach. And Maybe (Possibly) Happiness?

  • Morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Slept in! Finally. Had a leisurely breakfast at a cafe down the road. They actually had decent coffee. The world felt slightly less terrible.
  • Beach Day! (11:00 AM - 5:00 PM): Rode a scooter to a nearby beach. The ride was terrifying (traffic!), but the beach… wow. It was gorgeous. White sand, turquoise water, and not too many people. Spent hours swimming, reading, and generally just existing in the sunshine. Found a little spot under a palm tree. This is what I came for. I’m so happy.
  • Evening (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Watched the sunset. It was magnificent. Bought some street food. Ate it while people-watching. Actually, truly, enjoyed myself. Started planning for a vacation in a month.

Day 5: Departure (and a Promise to Return?)

  • Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Last breakfast at the villa. Packed my bags. Secretly happy to be leaving.
  • Farewell Mosquitoes (8:00 AM): One final mosquito bite. I will be back for you!
  • Transfer to Airport (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Taxi to the airport. The driver was the same grumpy guy from the first day. Guess he never smiled once.
  • Flight Home (11:00 AM - ?): Turbulence. Sad airplane food. The end (for now).

Final Thoughts:

Villa De Hun. It was…an experience. Not perfect. Not always enjoyable. Definitely not luxurious. But…there were moments. The beach. The cooking class (despite the pyrotechnics!). The sunsets. The genuine friendliness of some of the locals. Would I go back? Maybe. With lower expectations. And a LOT of mosquito repellent.

Escape to Paradise: OYO 899 Villa De Hun - Thailand Awaits! ...Or Does It? (The Unofficial FAQ - Because Let's Be Real)

Okay, so, what *is* this Villa De Hun place *actually* like? Is it paradise or, you know... NOT?

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because the truth is... it depends. It's not a *hideous* place. It’s like, okay-ish. Think… a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars, maybe? (Look, I'm generous, okay? I’m trying to be positive!) It’s definitely got that *vibe* of "rustic charm"... which, let's be brutally honest, sometimes translates to "slightly dilapidated, but charmingly so." You know, like the kind of place where you *hope* the geckos stay outside? And you pray the aircon doesn’t die at 3 AM. I spent a night there. I survived. That’s a win, right?

Picture this: you're strolling in, and the first thing you notice isn't the pristine pool. Nope. It’s the… well, the layout’s a little *confused*. Finding the reception took longer than it should've. And the whole thing is just… close to the town, yes, but not *in* it. It's like they were aiming for secluded, but maybe overshot a little? But hey, at least the staff seemed genuinely happy to see us. Or at least, they pretended *really* well.

Are the rooms actually nice? Like, Instagram-worthy nice?

Instagram-worthy? Hmm… *Maybe* if you’re REALLY good at filters. And maybe if you strategically crop out certain… *details*. Look, the rooms are functional. Clean-ish. The beds are… beds. Not the kind of cloud-in-the-sky, sink-into-bliss kind of beds, though.

Okay, here's an anecdote: I went to the "spa" and for some reason they were cleaning up when I came in. I said, "I can come back later." The response: "No problem, massage is ready!" Um.... I don't think so.

They had a mosquito net (thank GOD, because those things are EVIL). And the bathroom? Well, let's just say the water pressure *could* be higher. And maybe a little less lukewarm? But hey, you *could* shower. Which is more than I can say for some other places I’ve been. So, yeah. Functional. Not necessarily luxurious. Think "budget-friendly escape" rather than "luxury getaway."

Is there a pool? And is it… you know, actually swim-able?

Yes! There *is* a pool. And yes... I *think* it's swimmable. I saw several people swimming in it. I didn't get in. Okay, I admit it. I'm a germaphobe when it comes to public pools. But it looked… relatively clean?

I will say this: the pool area is actually pretty nice. It's got that relaxed, tropical vibe. And the thought of spending a lazy afternoon by the pool… that's the real draw, right? Even if you're secretly scrutinizing the water for… things. (You know you do it too!)

What's the deal with the breakfast? Is it any good? Because a bad breakfast can ruin a whole vacation day.

Okay, breakfast… breakfast is a mixed bag. It's included, which is always a win. But don't expect a buffet that will blow your mind. It's… simple. Very simple.

They had toast. And eggs. And... some kind of fruit. And coffee. The coffee was… drinkable. Which, again, is a win. The fruits was mostly melon. I ate more toast than I care to admit. My point? It’s breakfast. It’ll fill you up. It’s not gourmet. Lower your expectations. Get some toast. You'll be fine.

Is it noisy? Because I *need* my sleep.

Again... it depends. It's relatively quiet. But, and this is a big BUT… you're in Thailand. There will be roosters. Because, ROOSTERS. They are the bane of a light sleeper’s existence, believe me.

I swear, there was a rooster that sounded off at precisely 4:30 AM. EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING. And it wasn't a gentle "cock-a-doodle-doo." It was a full-throated, ear-splitting *cock-a-doodle-DOOOOOO*! So, bring earplugs. Seriously. Bring earplugs and possibly a tranquilizer dart. (Kidding. Mostly.)

How's the location? Is it easy to get around?

The location... it's a bit of a walk to the main drag. You're not *in* the thick of things, which is a pro and a con. It’s quiet, away from the noise, which is lovely. But getting anywhere involved a taxi, or a motorbike (if you're brave!).

There are shops and restaurants reasonably close, but you'll need transport. I actually walked the first day but it was hot and the road was mostly sidewalks and dirt. So, yeah, factor in transportation costs when you budget.

Anything else I should know before I book? (Like the *real* real stuff?)

Okay, the *real* real stuff…

* **Expect imperfections:** This isn't a five-star resort. Embrace the charm... or the slightly-less-than-perfect. Don't go expecting perfection, and you won't be disappointed.

* **Bargain like your life depends on it:** If you're using a taxi to get around, bargain! Everything is negotiable.

* **Pack light:** While you are not far from the main town, you'll still have to carry your luggage after going through their weird "lobby" area.

* **Embrace the experience:** Look, it's Thailand. It's going to be an adventure. Roll with the punches, be open to new experiences, and try to enjoy the moment. If you're after a truly perfect, luxurious experience, maybe look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a decent, affordable base to explore paradise, Villa De Hun isn't a terrible choice. Just…manage your expectations. And for the love of all that is holy, bring earplugs.
