Sea Memories White Sand Beach Hotel in Hua Hin

Hotel is so old and poor renovated. Staffs are not friedly especially at breakfast room. I see many complain abt staffs for long time but there are nothing change. There are not many type of breakfast, the taste has no problem. Location is the only one reason for stay. Not recommended for all reasons.

First of all, I didn't stay at the hotel so I cannot comment on it. This review is about the restaurant. The only positive thing here was the setting. It is right by the beach and off the main road so it was nice and quite. I really wanted to like this restaurant, unfortunately, we had a pretty bad experience here. We came in as a big group (16). Admittedly, it's a big group but we have a reservation so it was not a surprise. They should be prepared. There were 2 other small party tables that night. We ordered our food and it took them 2 hours to complete our orders. We ordered additional drinks while waiting but it also took them forever to give us and one never came. I am talking about soda water here. All they needed to do was to open the bottle and bring it out. The food actually tasted okay, but not impressive enough for what they were charging for (฿50 for a plate of plain steamed rice and ฿40 for a bucket of ice), and the service definitely not worth the 10% service charge. I guess that's the price to pay for being near the beach, which also kills me because they are not even located at the city center. Back to the food, one of our friends I know of got sick. I can't say the restaurant was to blamed but it did happened that night after the dinner. My friend also mentioned one of the waitress asked for tips for takeout one time. The waitress smile disappear when she saw that there was no tips and said "Oh, you pay the exact amount," which is an absolutely ridiculous attitude especially in Thailand. When I paid for my bill, there was supposed to be ฿2 change (which is nothing really) but the waitress didn't bother to give me that. I have been to multiple restaurants where this would not had happened. I probably would have left it anyway, but the problem is their practice. I definitely do not recommend this restaurant.
