This hotel was about half the price of other luxury hotels and so you might think the quality would be lower but really, our stay was really good. The views from our balcony were really beautiful. The room was great. They did a great job landscaping and so there is a nice walk around the grounds with a stream and lots of greenery. There is a nice indoor play area for toddlers and a big lawn with hay bales. There is a rooftop restaurant with incredible views all around. The staff were helpful and friendly. Even the pool was nice though there is no staff around to order food or drinks, meaning you have to hike to the lobby to order something. That kind of leads to the drawbacks. If you have a stroller or you are in a wheelchair or elderly, you will be doing a lot of walking of stairs because I don't believe there is an elevator from the ground floor and reception is two floors up. There is no signage either when you drive in of where reception is. There is no fitness but I knew that going in and I guess that is part of the reason for a cheaper price. But really, would it hurt to throw a bench press and some dumbbells in a room? For jogging, you have to go down the road and turn left away from the highway towards the temple and not much traffic on that road though the temple dogs aren't so friendly. But though my wife loved the ample and varied Thai breakfast, my big negative was the lack of a western breakfast. Yes, they had eggs and bacon, that was good but no waffles and no pancakes. First hotel I have ever stayed in without pancakes and waffles. Just two choices of cereal: Corn flakes and some chocolate flakes...so really...no cereal. Only whole milk, no choice of milk. Only high sugar yogurt, no Greek yogurt. No oatmeal. The most amazing thing was the lack of fruit. I mean it's Thailand...the country of like 1000 fruits and every market in Khao Yai is brimming with fruit and every day it was cantaloupe and watermelon...for 5 days straight! Like you can't go buy a few bananas or grapes and chuck them on the buffet? No blender to mix up a smoothie? No dried fruit. Only the cheap brand of jam and two flavors. Ok, it's breakfast, just eat it and move on, but breakfast is an important inclusion of the price you are paying and though the Thai breakfast was fantastic (my wife raved about it) the western breakfast was just...non existent. Geez...put a little effort into it. I guess I was the only westerner there though during our stay so I can see why it's not a priority. :) Overall, fantastic hotel and even though I would give it 4 stars because of the lack of fitness and breakfast, I will give it 5 because I really hope for these local hotels competing against the big chains. Plus the price is good, the staff were really friendly, the views are awesome and the grounds are really well done.

I stayed in Garden villa with my 2-children family. We was very happy for the nice and beautiful scene surrounding my villa. There are small waterfall next by the house. Staff treated us very warmly and friendly. The morning buffet was delicious with more variety food.
