Great place (except the hall under construction)
Pros:

I would have given this a 10/10, but unfortunately I ended up giving a 6/10. They are currently (June 2026) building a super ugly hall adjacent to the hotel. It destroys the beauty of the place. Which, other than the construction, is totally amazing. Right on the river, beautiful swimming pool, and nice employees.

Cons:

The ugly hall under construction. Food is alright, I expected better frankly. A bit noisy with a boom box during dinner. Construction staff partying until late at night (well, until after I complained at 11pm).

Thank you for helping make our stay comfortable! It's a beautiful property
Pros:

Very beautiful hotel with gorgeous view and especially loved the gardens, super lush, birds around etc., The gentleman at reception was kind and helped with arranging a white water rafting excursion for us. Nice breakfasts.

Cons:

Since it's a riverfront location, it's slightly trickier to get to / it's more off the beaten path. But I think worth it for the view! We had dinner one night at the hotel, which was good but not fantastic.

GOD'S choice for vacation
Pros:

A truly peaceful and beautiful place surrounded by nature. The atmosphere is calm, relaxing, and perfect for anyone looking to escape the busy city life.

The service was absolutely outstanding throughout our stay. A special thank you to Mr. Dolip Nesapriyan, who welcomed us upon arrival and was responsible for our stay. He ensured our rooms were always clean and well-prepared, guided us whenever needed, and provided exceptional service. He is a humble, down-to-earth, and highly respectful gentleman who made us feel genuinely cared for.

I would also like to thank Mr. Pathum, who served our food and beverages. His respectful attitude, warm smile, and heartfelt hospitality made every meal a pleasant experience. He is a wonderful young man whose service truly comes from the heart.

Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. We look forward to visiting again!

Cons:

I didn't like to leave the place 😕

Ett mycket bra val!
Pros:

Mysigt boende med trevlig personal och god mat. Stillsamt hotell som ligger precis vid floden. Enkelt att boka aktiviteter med hotellet. Killen som jobbade i receptionen var mycket proffsig och verkade kunna sitt jobb. Han borde bli befordrad.

Cons:

Hotellet är nytt och man håller på att bygga en del men det är inget som störde mer än att några saker inte såg klara ut runtomkring huvudbyggnaden.

A lovely stay at a friendly and welcoming hotel. A dream for amateur bird watchers! Fabulous staff.
Pros:

We wandered the hotel grounds looking for birds, and encountered so many species, from kingfishers to eagles, just on the first day alone! Staff were very friendly and helpful; they arranged transportation for us, helped us track down more of the tropical fruit they served on the menu (the mangoes were amazing), and have connections for a variety of excursions.

Cons:

We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel, and while the food was fresh, all of the curries tasted overwhelmingly of Maggi seasoning! They could do away with that and just let the local spices do the heavy lifting in the flavor department. Also, there was a lot of construction work happening on the hotel grounds, which detracted from the peaceful poolside ambiance.

Pros:

Wir waren für 4 Tage da und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Schönes Hotel direkt am Fluss, super um Vögel zu beobachten. Schöne Zimmer mit Blick auf den Pool.
Das Essen war super lecker und das Personal sehr gastfreundlich, nett und zuvorkommend. Ausflüge sind problemlos über das Hotel zu buchen.
Vielen Dank, wir kommen gerne wieder!!!
