Relaxing place for urban people

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 27, 2012
So beautiful as you have seen on the website! Having expectation on this trp after reading! However, I have a little bit worry after arrival. I don't know I need to take a boat to arrive their resort! That means the resort is a isolated place. Then I think about electricity supply is available there and so....!! The Resotel is surrounded by trees, plants, flowers so I can take a deep breath with fresh air! Wonderful! With hot water for bathing, electricity light etc so I know it is a place for urban people. Enjoy jungle life with support! Believe me, no need for air condition there. Also, bats will come to visit you. The staffs are very nice and helpful! Especially the one who guide us for jungle trekking! Thanks! I also try their body and foot massage, very good! Food is ok, not excellent! But I love the view of the restaurant! I have a very relaxing time with exciting experience there!
Date of stay: September 2012
Room Tip: The standard Chalet is very good and big enough with reasonable price. If you are urban people,...

This is a stunning place to stay. Access to it is on a long tailed boat down the river so it felt very remote. The accomodation is private " villas" in beautiful vegetation. There is a small pool which was great for a quick dip before dinner. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming and we had a good dinner and breakfast. The traditional "Mon" dance was a bit uninspiring but we felt obliged to watch!!
We had a trip across the river to a local village and we also had a look at the other accomodation available ( on floating rafts)
A great stop off and a good place to use as a base to see the River Kwai area.

We only stayed here one night but we thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a owned by the same group that own The Float House River Kwai (which I have reviewed separately). When we arrived we were warmly greeted by a lady (the manager?) who talked us through all our options for local activities. Of course this hotel is quite reasonably priced and as such, the bedrooms were a little basic, but more than adequate. I found the food fine. It was actually the same food as was provided for the Float House. It has to be noted that many of the brochure images (kayaking, rafting, swimming in the river, etc) are not possible in the rainy season. This was a big disappointment to us, but was obviously not the hotel's fault. The hotel did at least offer some diversion from the rain such as massage, Mon dancing, and a swimming pool. Note that breakfast here ends at 9 am. We imagined it would be 10 am and missed ours!

Room tip: Paid extra for river view. However, given the amount of foliage, we couldn't really see the river.

A very unique hotel with regard to location. Restful and surrounded by beautiful landscape. The river is within your grasp and the sounds of water and river life permeate your senses. Very private bungalows set a little apart from the main building and the restaurant serves beautiful delicious food. The staff of course are wonderful and the price is very reasonable. We arrived by river boat. The hotel picks you up from the parking lot; a highlight of the adventure.

We stayed at the Resotel for 5 nights which was too long. The hotel itself is right by the lake but don't be fooled like I was with the beautiful sun lounges right by the lake (as shown on the website!!). Nothing like it and such a shame too because had they done it up nicely it would have been nice to chill by the lake but it's neglected. Room was nice, we had the bungalow chalet with very large double and one single. The room was an ok size. Bathroom was big with separate loo. TV was all in Thai tho. Food was disappointing. The breakfast did not change the whole time we were there, same same and we got bored, they should also have covers for the fruit platters because there were tons of flies having a feast! No other choice for food except here so they should make an effort and do daily specials. You can eat at other float hotels but they charge around bht500 per way for the long tail boat so bht1000 for a return is way to much! Evening buffet was ok but same same. Pool area was nice. They also had a view point over looking the lake which was nice.
Overall the stay was ok and relaxing but would probably have stayed here for 3 nights. Would I stay here again? Probably not as there are plenty more to choose from around that area.

Lovely and beautiful setting, huge area to stroll around, lot of adventurous activities to do, nice rooms and great washrooms. Lava cave is at walking distance. But no Indian food and very few vegetarian options. but staff is very co-operative and they try their best to provide what is required by the guest. very few Asians. nice pool and spa service.

Room tip: choose rooms closer to the restaurant if you dont want to walk up and down too much.
