Our first choice hotel here was the Hylton but that was fully booked when we applied and we then chose the Wora Bura. What a good decision that was. All of the super reviews of this hotel are true. We felt that the ground floor rooms were the best but everything from the service and the staff, the good quality and varied food at favourable prices and the pool and gardens were perfect The location out of town is not a problem as the hotel operate a free bus service into the evening and there are always plenty of taxis or tuk tuks to get you back . When we passed the Hylton and looked at the massed ranks of bodies and compared it to the space and better surroundings of the Wora Bura we were pleased that the Hylton had been full. The only downside is that at high tide the beach is covered and it is not possible to walk along it, However this applies to most of the beach at Hua Hin and the Wora Bura end is much quieter and allows you to walk to the Temple and beach bars and restaurants at the south end of the beach overlooked by a giant buddha
We certainly hope to go back for another visit

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.
