The Verona Villa Hua Hin — Attraction in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

This is a small sized beachfront resort with villas and apartment/suites. About 15mins walk to the night market. We booked through Expedia as the rates were cheaper than booking with the resort directly. ||Getting there |We booked return trip (Bangkok Suvarnabhumi airport to Verona and then Verona to a Bangkok hotel) through Ms Na (Hua Hin taxi service) based on TripAdvisor reviews. The rates for both ways are THB 4200. The driver assigned to us was a safe driver but we felt his driving was too slow and jerky driving due to excessive brakings. As I get motion sickness easily, i took motion sickness pill prior so the almost 3 hours ride was still ok (otherwise I would have puked with such driving). ||Resort |We reached the resort late evening and the receptionist had our booking ready when we approached the reception so check In was quite fast. Reception was polite and one staff accompanied us up to brief us on the suite we are staying. They are using the old fashioned key which are not convenient to bring out. So we dropped off the key at the reception when we went out. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby. ||Room|We booked the 2 bedroom suite and it was very spacious. The master bedroom with king sized bed has a tub and shower while the other room (king sized bed) has only shower. The issue we had was with the shower in both rooms as we could not control the water temperature. It was either very hot or cold and water pressure was weak. We were given fruits on the first day of check in only. And the third day, they did not refill the bottled water for us. There are hairdryer, safe, medium sized fridge, complimentary capsule coffee, tea and bottled water in the suite. We were provided complimentary drinks voucher which we did not use. Beds were comfortable and good aircons. Our suite was on the reception side which we felt was better than having the suite via the restaurant side. ||Breakfast|Very simple spread which was just ok. Eggs were cooked at request. There is only one staff and hence attention was limited and could be improved.||Beach|We took a look at the beach in the morning and as it looked dirty, we thus didn’t plan any time on the beach. ||Grab|You can get grab cars for travelling within Hua Hin. We had no trouble getting grab to Bluport mall and cicada night market. About THB 120-130. ||SIM card|Both AIS and TrueMove has good reception within Huahin and Bangkok. ||Overall|Service was overall okay. location wise I would have preferred a hotel nearer to the night market since we were there on daily basis. Suites are big and are good for family who like lots of...

We stayed in the 3 bedroom villa. Flying into Bangkok early 5 am an hour earlier than we were told, we had a bus booked through The Verona for 7 am. Eventually we got on our way arriving at The Verona around 1030 ish. Of course too early to get into our room so we hung out by the pool and swam and ordered from room service. Food was nice. When we got into our room we were impressed with size. Weird though there is a kitchenette has stove but nothing to cook in. There was dinner plates, cutlery, glasses and cups. No tea towel and no dish cloth or dish washing liquid. A very very small fridge that had drinks that were included but they count their bottles at the end so dont throw them in bin or take them away from resort. Also a couple glasses got broken which we were happy to pay for but felt 250 thai baht was a bit excessive per glass. The reception staff very friendly and helpful. We got friendly with Dom taxi driver opposite The Verona and he was great to get us around. When we wanted to go horse riding he took us to the place and walked us down. Bit weird with toilet cant flush the toilet paper you have to put the toilet paper in the bin which was a bit gross. ||The resort was getting some repairs done around the pool whilst we were there. Beach is awful and bit smelly from stagnant water. Bit of rubbish...

My GF and I spent 3 nights here. Upgraded to a very spacious two bedroom flat, nice view of the pool and beach. The beds are very nice - great for me because I don't like the standard hard mattresses.||||This can be a romantic get-a-way spot but keep in mind that it's very family/kid friendly so you may have that do deal with that at the Verona.||||We did not eat breakfast here because it cost 500Bhat and was not all that great looking and was a very noisy space. We did order the pizza - which was terrible because the pizza dough is a frozen ready-made disc of bread really. Yuck. The flat has a Nespresso type of machine with complimentary capsules and bottles of water - but I am not a fan of the Nespresso coffee.||||The staff are friendly and the service is prompt. I would stay here again but instead of a second floor flat I'd opt for the main level pool-side villa - despite the fact that it's quite public it is rather nice. The room wifi connection was satisfactory.||||The location is about a 15-minute walk or 100 bhat tuk-tuk ride to the center of town with a few local bakeries and cafes...
