Location sucks because it is far from anything (restaurants and shopping). All you can do is swimming and sunbathing (be good if you are recovering from hospital). There are two things that annoyed me when we stayed there. First, they didn't give us a double bed even though we told them we are a couple. The front desk officer then keep saying whether that is okay (I told her it is not okay) but because of lack of English, she couldn't say anything else apart keep saying whether it is okay repeatedly. Second, the hotel provides shuttle bus to the city from 5 to 10 pm. The bus can only accommodate 10 people. So you can imagine how packed it is around dinner time at 6 & 7 pm. So we were refused and was moved to 8 or 9 pm. By then we were already starving considering there is no near restaurant apart from the one in hotel. The other thing that was in my observation but not significant was the staff at breakfast. They don't like to serve coffee and tea. So most of the time, we have to self service or ask them. So it is not very 4 star-ish service at all.
Nice bedroom and bathroom, LCD TV 32 inch, pool facing the sea.
Location and bad customer service.
- Travel tip : If you decide to stay in this hotel, please keep in mind to book the shuttle bus for dinner time way early (like the night before) to avoid disappointment.

Overall we were very happy with the Wora Bura Hotel. The rooms were very spacious and well decorated. The grounds were also well kept and a good size. Its location is away from Hua Hin, which we found perfect. Hua Hin can be easily reached in five minutes by the hotel bus service (no return service, but 150 baht by tuk tuk). The hotel food was mixed. The breakfast was a good buffet, lunch around the pool was okay, but the Italian restaurant was below standards. However, this was fine as there are a couple of restaurants nearby that are very good. Lets Sea restaurant is 30 seconds away and great. The staff were very helpful and polite.
Also, I have read that people do not like the beach, but we found it fine. Very nice to stroll along and beach massages nearby if you want.
Overall very much recommended. However, we went out of season in July, and I do believe this hotel would become a little crowded in full season and that might be a problem.
Rooms are very spacious and beautifully decoratd in Thai style. One of the best rooms we have found on or trips. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Shuttle service was quick and free. Location of hotel was near enough to get in easily whilst far enough away to get away from Hua Hin. Breakfast good.
In high season it could get very crowded in the hotel. Also there is building work going on around the hotel, but it did not bother us. The Italian restaurant is not great.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Monkey Mountain - good and free (but you need to like monkeys). Kao Talu - private owned island - you can stay overnight - it is a real treat to stay. Lets sea and Supatra by Sea - restaurants.
