How was the booking process handled?: Thank you for introducing me to this little piece of heavan, a place I never would have found without ThailandHotels-24.com.com. Your service is outstanding!
Other comments about the hotel: What a little GEM... Words like gorgeous, breathtaking and heavenly do not do this place justice! Mostly marketed to local Thai guests, you would never know as the ambience and quality of the accommodation is beyond expectations! The resort is quiet and set in a tranquil forest setting and the natural mineral pool is inviting and refreshing and better still, we had it all to ourselves every time!! The only thing that is lacking is the kitchen/menu does not cater to western tastes so much but Wynn on reception was more than happy to take our meal requests and had the staff purchase the ingredients so the chef could make it for us the following day!!! Can t complain about that! :) It is also a fair drive out of Kanchanaburi and other attractions but the resort offers tours at a reasonable price. I would recommend giving yourself PLENTY of time if you are leaving this resort for the airport as the drive can be very long and traffic can be a BIG problem getting across Bangkok. Otherwise, this place is a real diamond!

How was the booking process handled?: Quick response, but difficult to pay without credit card.
Other comments about the hotel: Small scale, old fashioned resort. With nice swimming pool, but not proper access to the river. Funiture inside de room is very impressive. Mostly handmade in teak. Outdoor shower needs maintenance.

How was the booking process handled?: Very good.
Other comments about the hotel: Unlike most other hotels along this stretch of river, they have kept the forest largely intact. My room was on the third floor of a kind of tree house structure looking over the river through the forest canopy. The effect is like staying in Tree Tops in Kenya. The room was, nevertheless, comfortable wih a decent bed and bathroom and functioning aircon. Breakfast was adequate and I didn t try other meals. Service was very friendly by two young girls who seemed to do everything from carrying bags, to cleaning to cooking to serving food. This is not a hotel for those who want a crowded bus party place with disco and Indian tailor shops. However, it is highly recommended for those who want a quiet place where they can admire the natural beauty of the area and go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of the forest. Mobile phone signal was good but I didn t ask if there was wi-fi. [ThailandHotels-24.com integr.ERR:escaping]

Other comments about the hotel: when we booked at the forest retreat we should definateley have hired transport. The hotel is about 3 kilometres from the main road quite steep in parts with no pick up service. when we arrived it seemed to be closed and the people there could not speak any english and we could no speke any Thai( bad start) we were the only guests and no facilities entertainment wise, the swimming pool was empty, we had booked in for 5 nights we stayed out overnight once because the buses stopped running at 6pm and we did not know that it was a holiday period. eventually the staff at the hotel began to chauffeur us back and forth to the main road if they were around when we went out. the nearest town to the hotel was 7minutes bus ride it wasn t a town as such,, a few nice places to eat.. it was shops on one side of the road with a park opposite. If you are looking to go here do your homework first and I also think the booking agents should be more informative, it was expensive for the facilities available.

How was the booking process handled?: Booking service was excellent and we got confirmation within hour
Other comments about the hotel: This resort location is 7 KM away from Saiyok waterfall. It is inside the forest and so strongly suggest to check-in during day time only.When we reached there was no other visitors. The receptionist guy helped us a lot to reach the location.There were only few staff available in the resort (may be because of off-season). But their hospitality are good.The food choices are limited. Most of the bunglows also needs maintenance. If you need an isolated place to spend few days, this is the location.The [ThailandHotels-24.com integr.ERR:escaping]

How was the booking process handled?: Efficient, safe and helpful!
Other comments about the hotel: Beautiful location and even better service/staff.The front of house man, Win, spoke excellent English and helped us organise everything we did. He personally took us to places and was incredibly informative about each and everyone of them. As we are vegetarians they catered off menu for us everyday and organised the same when we were outside the resort. This place comes with my highest recommendation!
