What a delightful experience. The breakfast is really good, especially the Thai options. The building is full of traditional Thai furniture and fittings which are beautiful.

We really enjoyed the hotel. Breakfast and dining in the garden restaurant were a treat. The pool looked great and we were sorry not to have the time to use it. Rooms are very nice, very clean and spacious. Reception area is very nice. Dinner was very good. The breakfast buffet was a bit disappointing to my husband, who is used to business hotel buffets.

Service was impeccable. Despite being busy at times, the resort hosts really extended their hospitality by offering to pick us to areas we wanted to go, be it to the hot spring or dining place. Gave ua a free upgrade of room to make it easier for my dad with a walking stick. The place was serene, perfect for a good getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. For this kind of service, I would rate them 5 stars. They are truly deserving. Keep it up!
