Let`s
Sea Hua Hin AL Fresco Resort, Hua Hin
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! |
