Marrakesh Magic: HUGE 3BR Condo Sleeps 10 in Hua Hin!
Marrakesh Magic: Hua Hin's Hidden Gem (or is it a Sultan's Oasis?) - A Brutally Honest Review!
Okay, folks, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a stay at "Marrakesh Magic: HUGE 3BR Condo Sleeps 10 in Hua Hin!" and I’m ready to spill the tea. Forget the polished brochures, this is the REAL deal. Prepare yourself for the good, the slightly less good, and the "did I just imagine that?" moments.
Let's start with the BIG STUFF - because, well, it's HUGE. The condo itself? HUGE. Like, seriously, you could play hide-and-seek in here and your mom would never find you. We're talking three bedrooms, a living room that could double as a ballroom, and enough beds to accommodate a small army (or, you know, a large family, which is what we were). Sleeps 10, they say. Honestly? You could probably squeeze in 12 if you're friendly with your neighbors.
Accessibility: Now, I have to be honest, I don't have any specific accessibility needs myself, but I did take a good look around. The elevator is a lifesaver, especially after a day of wandering around the beach, which is nice if you're on the upper floors. Sadly, I didn't see anything explicitly labeled wheelchair accessible, and it's definitely something to investigate before you book if it's a crucial requirement.
**Cleanliness and Safety: *This is where I started to breathe a sigh of relief.* ** The place felt clean. Like, properly clean. And in these times, that matters! They’ve got anti-viral cleaning products they're using, they're offering room sanitization opt-out (score!), and they’re claiming rooms sanitized between stays. I didn’t see any of the telltale dust bunnies of doom. The staff seemed to be following safety protocols diligently, and there’s CCTV in common areas and outside the property. I felt safe enough to relax and just enjoy the damn holiday, which is a rarity these days! They also had hand sanitizer everywhere, which is brilliant.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Okay, so this is where things get interesting. There's a lot of choice. There are restaurants on site. There's a poolside bar, because, duh, you're on holiday! There’s room service (24-hour). I saw a coffee shop, because caffeine is life. I loved getting breakfast takeaway service, since sometimes you just want to lounge around. Breakfast service did not disappoint -- Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, buffet… I ended up spending a little too much time in the desserts in the restaurant. A little too much time. The poolside bar made a mean cocktail during happy hour. There's a snack bar, which is perfect for those urgent midnight munchies. A la carte, alternative meal arrangement, even vegetarian options, I mean, they were offering it all! I also liked that they had essential condiments.
Internet: FREE WI-FI IN ALL ROOMS!, bless the internet gods! Seriously, I hate hotels that nickel and dime you for internet. Internet worked, too. Needed it for work, needed it to watch Netflix, needed it to upload all the Instagram pics of the food.
**Things to Do & Ways to Relax: *This is where Marrakesh Magic really shines!* ** Seriously. The swimming pool is stunning, and the pool with a view just screams “Instagram me!” (Don't judge!). There's a fitness center, if you're into that sort of masochism (I, uh, attempted to go once). The spa is calling your name, and trust me, you should answer. They have a spa/sauna, steam room, massage, body scrub, body wrap, and a foot bath. I may or may not have spent a considerable amount of time in the spa. Let's just say, I left feeling like a new woman. The biggest selling point for me, in this section, was The swimming pool. Gorgeous!
Services and Conveniences: Okay, let's get this out of the way: the front desk is 24-hour, which is always a win. Daily housekeeping is another. They had a convenience store for those midnight snack runs. The concierge was helpful. I think I saw a… shrine? They have laundry service, which is great. I'm not sure I went anywhere without my air conditioning in public areas.
For the Kids: I didn’t have any kids with me, but the family/child-friendly vibe was clear. They have babysitting service, and kids facilities.
Available in All Rooms: Okay, inside the condo itself… this one’s a winner. Air conditioning? YES. Free Wi-Fi? YES. Hair dryer? YES. Coffee/tea maker? Double YES. Refrigerator? Perfect for chilling those Chang beers. Satellite/cable channels? Gotta keep up with the news, right? Safe? Because, you know, valuables. Daily housekeeping is also a plus. I loved the additional toilet, since, with a group of 10, that's basically a necessity.
The Minor Gripes (Because No Place is Perfect):
- The Decor: It’s… a vibe. Think… Marrakesh meets Hua Hin beach chic. It's a bit of a mishmash, but it's charming. You get used to it.
- The "On-Site Event Hosting": I didn't experience any events personally, so I can't comment on this feature.
- Some room configurations: It's a BIG condo, so make sure to specify when you book, and ask questions!
The Verdict: Would I Go Back?
Absolutely, yes. Marrakesh Magic is a great option for a large group. The condo is spacious, clean, and well-equipped, and the amenities are fantastic. The location is good too, if you can bear the traffic. It's a great base for exploring Hua Hin, and the spa alone is worth the price of admission.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Phudzi Hotel, Letlhakane, Botswana
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this itinerary is less a meticulously crafted Swiss watch and more a rambunctious, slightly tipsy, beach-bound toddler. This is not your sterile, perfectly-planned vacation. This is… well, this is me trying to wrangle ten humans in the glorious chaos that is Marrakesh HuaHin, Thailand. Prepare yourselves.
The Grand (and Slightly Grubby) Plan: 3 Bed Condo for 10 Souls
The Players: Me (the frazzled organizer), my perpetually-late friend Sarah, the food-obsessed siblings Leo and Maya, the ever-optimistic Grandma Elsie (bless her heart), the perpetually-moaning teenagers, well, let's call them Liam and Chloe, and the "I'll-do-anything-for-a-tan" trio of Ben, Emily and Jess. God help me.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Luggage Hunt (Hua Hin - or, as I like to call it, "Welcome to Mild Panic")
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Wake up in a cold sweat. That's been happening pre-trip too. Flights are staggered like a drunken conga line. First group, the "Sun Worshippers," (Ben, Emily, Jess – figures) arrive. My phone immediately erupts with: "We landed! Where's the frigging pool?!" The pool, apparently, is the most important thing in existence. (I’m still trying to determine how the beach is considered less important.) I’m battling the jet lag and the ever-present fear of losing everyone.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Condo check-in. Lord have mercy. Pray for me. Unload the luggage. This is where the Great Luggage Hunt begins. Bags everywhere! The teenagers are grumbling about travel time, and Liam is already glued to some obscure mobile game. The condo, while promised as spacious, feels instantly… well, "cozy." I'm pretty sure I saw a cockroach scurry under the sofa. Okay, maybe not. Just the exhaustion playing tricks.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Pool debriefing. The Sun Worshippers are already bronzing themselves. I attempt to locate the family’s collective sanity. I make a mental note to buy a giant inflatable flamingo. Because…why not?
- Evening (6:00 PM onward): Dinner! Food is the great unifier. I’m dreaming of fresh Thai flavors. The siblings, Leo and Maya, are already researching local restaurants on their phones. I just hope we can find one that doesn't require me to sell a kidney to pay for it. It’s a battle – the teens are demanding pizza. I’m pretty sure they’ll still whine even if pizza is on the menu and that'll be the first argument of the holiday.
Day 2: Beach Bliss (and Sand-Induced Rage - the natural order of things)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Okay, maybe no morning alarm. 10:00 AM actually. Let's be realistic, here. Beach day! Trying to herd ten people onto a beach is like herding cats that are on a sugar rush. Grandma Elsie will want to build sandcastles, the teens will hide from the sun, and I just want to find a shady spot, pour myself a large, iced coffee and, yes, let the sea laze me into an existential slumber, please and thank you.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): The sand's in everything. My hair, my shoes, and, after an unfortunate gust of wind, probably my lunch. We made a discovery that the local food carts have the best Pad Thai.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): I swear, I saw a seagull steal Sarah’s sunglasses! The drama. The beach volleyball game is a complete disaster. Liam keeps faceplanting in the sand, Chloe is complaining about the sun's intensity. I, on the other hand, am content.
- Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Sunset drinks! Cue the glorious golden hour! I think I'll need a serious cocktail to de-stress from the beach chaos. Grandma Elsie decides to tell a story about her first kiss while on the beach.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Dinner at a beachfront restaurant, hopefully, eating something spicy and delicious. I’ll need a full-on food coma to face the teens’ whining.
Day 3: Culture Shock and Market Mayhem
- Morning (9:00 AM): Attempt a cultural immersion excursion - visiting a temple. Good luck with that. The teens are already making faces and I foresee a lot of complaints about "boring old stuff."
- Morning (10:00 AM): Okay, the temple was beautiful, but the crowds? Awful. The teens are still moaning about the heat, but I catch them looking at some cool architecture. Win!
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Market time! Prepare for chaos. I’m already envisioning bartering for souvenirs, getting lost in a maze of stalls, and almost getting trampled by a rogue elephant.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): I got lost in the market. It was glorious! Found some amazing silk scarves, (for me, obviously.) And possibly bought way too many tacky souvenirs.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Cooking class. We're learning how to make Pad Thai. Leo and Maya are in their element, the teens are surprisingly engaged, and I am cautiously optimistic. Hopefully, we don’t poison ourselves
- Evening (8:00 PM): Eat. Hopefully, the food is edible.
Day 4: Relaxation and Existential Dread (and more beach)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Yoga on the beach. I doubt anyone will do this.
- Morning (10:00 AM): The teenagers are sleeping. Grandma Elsie is sunbathing, the Sun Worshippers are at the beach, Leo and Maya are in the kitchen. So far, so good.
- Afternoon: More beach time! The waves are great for a swim, and I've made a deal with the teens that if they act nice, they get ice cream.
- Evening: I think about life. I need a spa day. I need to eat all the food.
Day 5: Departure and the Aftermath
- Morning (7:00 AM): Pack. The most dreaded task of all. Finding all the stuff and not leaving anything behind.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Airport time.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): A sense of relief mixed with a deep, profound sadness. The chaos is over, but the memories will last.
The Imperfections, the Quirks, and the Truth:
- Things will go wrong. Flights will be delayed. Someone will forget their passport. Someone will get food poisoning. Things will be lost. The air conditioner will die. This is the reality of travel. Accept it, laugh about it, and move on.
- Embrace the chaos. It's part of the fun! Sometimes the best memories are made in the midst of a total meltdown.
- Don't be afraid to do your own thing. Just because you're with a group doesn't mean you have to stick together every moment. Find your own peace.
- Take lots of pictures, but also put the phone down. Live in the moment. Savor the smells, the sounds, the sun on your skin.
- And most important of all, bring a healthy dose of humor. Because if you can't laugh at the insanity of it all, you'll cry. And nobody wants that.
So there you have it. My slightly unhinged itinerary. Wish me luck. And maybe pray for me. I'll need it. Wish me luck, and let the chaos… commence!

Marrakesh Magic: Hua Hin Condo FAQs - Because Honestly, You *Need* to Know
Okay, seriously, can this place *actually* sleep ten people? I've seen listings...
Alright, let’s get real. Ten? Yes. *Comfortably?* Well, that depends on your definition of comfortable. Picture this: we were there last year, me and my family. My sister-in-law, Bless her heart, snored like a chainsaw. And guess what? She was on the pull-out sofa in the living room. Now, the sofa itself? Perfectly fine. But the chainsaw? Let's just say earplugs are your friend. So, yes, it *can* sleep ten. There are three proper bedrooms, each with a double bed. One has two doubles, which rocks for kids. Then there’s the pull-out. So, if you’re all besties, you'll be golden. If you're easily annoyed by snoring, maybe consider a bit of strategic room allocation, like my niece getting the bedroom with two beds because of her super quiet sleep...
What's the deal with the "Marrakesh" vibe? Is it actually...Moroccan?
The *vibe*, honey, the *vibe*! Okay, they've definitely *tried*. Think tiled floors, some vaguely North African-looking lanterns, a few strategically placed poufs. Is it *authentic* Marrakesh? Nope. Not even close. It's more like...Hua Hin *meets* a theme park ride *of* Marrakesh. Look, I'm not complaining! It's fun. It's different. It’s better than a plain, boring white box. And honestly, after a few Changs by the pool, the "authenticity" kinda melts away anyway. I do remember the *first* time I saw it though, it was a bit of a shock, like... where am I? Am I in Thailand? Morocco? Never mind, let's get to the pool.
Is the kitchen usable? Can I actually cook? (Or is it just for show?)
The kitchen! Ah, the kitchen. It's *better* than some Airbnbs I've seen, but don't expect a chef's paradise. There's a fridge, a microwave, a stovetop, and a basic set of pots and pans. Enough to whip up some breakfast, definitely. You can absolutely cook. I am a *terrible* cook, and even *I* managed to scramble some eggs and burn some toast (classic!). The real highlight, however, is the *small* island, perfect for a quick meal. Just be prepared to maybe buy some additional cooking utensils or a decent knife if you're planning on anything ambitious. And don’t forget to bring your own spices! Those are hard to come by.
What about the pool? Is it worth it? Is it crowded?
The pool... is EVERYTHING. Seriously. It's a beautiful pool, big, and clean. It's the best part about the place. And here’s a pro-tip, if you are there at a busy time, get down early. Sunbeds are like gold dust. The pool is HUGE and has a nice shallow part and also a nice deep end and the temperature is perfect. We spent *hours* there, just chilling! One time I went in and got a mouthful of pool water. It didn't taste that good, but I'm sure it's fine. The view? Stunning. Just stunning. Makes the *entire* condo a steal. So, yeah, the pool is *absolutely* worth it. Honestly, it’s why you should book the place.
Are there any downsides I should know about? Be honest!
Okay, honesty time. There *are* a few things. Firstly, the Wi-Fi can be a bit patchy. Sometimes it was great, other times... crickets. So if you *absolutely* need to be online 24/7, maybe consider getting a local SIM card. Secondly, it's a bit of a walk to the beach. Not a *massive* walk, but not right on the sand either. Also, and this isn't a huge deal, but the air conditioning in the living room sometimes struggled. It all adds up and can get a little annoying. But, to be honest, those tiny things are absolutely nothing when compared to the absolute bliss of the pool. You just gotta put things in perspective, people!
Is there parking?
Yes, there's parking. It's covered and seemed reasonably secure. We rented a car (highly recommend, by the way, for exploring Hua Hin) and had no problems. Finding the parking spot was a little tricky at first, but everything is good.
What about other facilities? Gym? Shop?
There's a small gym, which I did *not* use. Let's be honest, I was there for the pool and the food, not to pump iron. There's not a on-site shop, but you can easily get snacks and drinks from 7-Eleven, which is about a 10-minute walk.
Okay, so, would you recommend it? Be blunt!
ABSOLUTELY! Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Look, it's not perfect. But it's a fantastic place to stay. The pool alone is worth it, and the value for money is insane. Honestly, if you're looking for a fun, affordable, and spacious place to stay in Hua Hin, book it. Just remember the earplugs, the bug spray (those mosquitos are sneaky!), and prepare for some serious relaxation. You'll have an amazing time. Seriously. Book. It. Now. Before I decide I want to go back and book it myself!
