Let`s Sea Hua Hin AL Fresco Resort
My initial impressions were all good. Cutting edge design, quiet, no screaming kids, private decks from each room straight into the enormous pool. Very secluded and great for that romantic get away or honeymoon. Clientel mostly younger Thais, but there were some Europeans and same sex couples as well. Great service too, perhaps the best I ve ever encountered. Beachside restaurant was also efficient and reasonable. There are two problems though and both concern the rooms; 1. There are no chairs or sofas in the rooms; one can sit on the large floor cushions to watch tv, or lie in bed. Management needs to solve this problem pronto. 2. The showers. They look great but don t work properly; this is the classic case of form over function. One is either scalded or frozen; there is no in between. There is no shower screen/curtain of any kind either, so everything around the shower (floor, toiletries etc) gets soaked. Management needs to get the architects back in to fix this nonsense. Four days of hopeless showers wore my patience very thin indeed. Such a shame as many elements about this place were so good. For the next 12 months or so there will be construction going on next door. Management moved me to a room further up toward the beach and were very helpful when the noise became too much to bare (two pile drivers...not just one!!) Would I return? Hmm.......not until the shower issues are resolved. Instead I would go next door to Wora Bura; it s new also but in the 19th century colonial style. It s really impressive. It s about the same price but has good showers! |
Excellent....and very eficient. Booked less than 24 hrs before arrival.....no problems with this. Try doing that with most others and you ll get nowhere. |
