Great Hotel, service , staff and attention to detail. The location is about 5 km from Hua Hin central which can be a good thing. The hotel is on the beach front but there is little beach along this section of Hua Hin. The grassed section overlooking the water is really the beachfront.
The place really is silver service the only negative really was the other guests who were all quite elderly and seemed a little annoyed at our 7 year old having fun in the pool.

Stayed for 10 nights from 12/1/08. Hotel is beautiful and very restful. Staff exceptional from start to finish. Food very good and reasonably priced. Loved every minute and cannot fault it. My husband did the Thai cookery course and we became good friends with the Executive Chef and the restaurant staff because of this. Kitchens are spotless and they are very happy to show you around them and explain how the food is made.

Not many Brits at hotel, mostly Swedish but this did not cause any problems. The Swedish were very friendly and spoke far better English than we did their mother tongue!

Slight construction noise sometimes from apartment blocks next door but they are almost finished.

Plenty of sunbeds - might not always get a prime spot but never a problem getting one around pool despite some placing their belongings on the beds early morning but not actually laying on them until late afternoon. That drives me nuts!!

Would return in a heartbeat but would also be tempted to wage a war with the sunbed blockers.

This hotel really was wonderful, the rooms are large the gardens beautiful, the staff are incredibly friendly and professional. I know that the hotel prices are far more expensive than the town, however, they really were very reasonable. The spa is wonderful and we had loads of treatments there and we couldn't fault them. The pool is an infinity pool which was really stunning and there was always room by the pool for sunbathing. Cannot recommend this place enough. It is anywhere between 3-8 minutes from Hua Hin depending on whether you get a maniac tuk tuk driver! It seems to be a set price of 150 baht, however the hotel does have a shuttle bus that is free and leaves on the hour, or you can book it for 150 baht.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Wora Bora mid-January 2008 and were well impressed with the hotel. The staff were very friendly and efficient and did not try to sell us things but were always willing to help find out information about booking external tours, taxis, etc.

The room we stayed in was gorgeous, dark wooden floors, flat screen TV, very comfortable huge bed and at a discount rate as it was booked through the internet. The pool was lovely and the food for breakfast was very tasty. I've stayed in many hotels across the world, and I would rate the room as probably one of the best.

However saying that, please don't stay there, because it was nice and quiet and I don't want it to become too popular and crowded!

The one minor point is that Hua Hin itself doesn't have a beach to compare to the one's in Koh Toa, etc. The beach is nice enough but the sea isn't bustling full of tropical fish and coral!
