8.7Verified guest“Right on the river, this resort feels calm and far from the city noise. The view, especially under a full moon, is stunning. It’s only a 10-minute drive to central Chiang Mai. Rooms are spacious with large beds, and the staff are friendly and quick to help. Breakfast had fresh juice and a good à la carte menu.”
8.7Verified guest“Our drivers had a bit of trouble finding it, but once we arrived it was worth it. The peaceful setting and river views were extraordinary. Service was excellent and prices fair. The onsite café/bistro served delicious food, clearly made with care by the chef. If you want to escape the city, this is the place. Highly recommended for a tranquil stay.”

The staff went above and beyond, room service was prompt, and housekeeping kept everything spotless. The in-room safe and fridge were handy.”
