I'm normally pretty critical in reviews hoping that it provides value to future customers who have bothered to read what I've written in prep for potential visits. This property is far from perfect, but we really enjoyed our stay here. It was nice a quiiet, pretty surroundings and the staff were typical Thai, I'd friendly and always courteous!
Yes, it's showing it's age a bit, especially in some of the room features, but this didn't really effect the comfort, the rooms are quite spacious.
We hired a car from the airport which really made the stay stressfree, as the location from Chiang Mai is about a 45 minute drive, but we also took advantage of being near the hills and driving around local villages and sight seeing.
In contrast to previously visited a Thai cities, there's no tourism hard sell, the prices are mostly fixed and on the down side, English is not commonly spoken, whilst this shouldn't ruin your holiday it did make some dialogue difficult.
My biggest complaint.... 4nights and 5 days wasn't long enough!
Ps, wi fi was great throughout the entire grounds also.

This is a lovely resort in the middle of Maerim area, a short drive out of the city of Chiang Mai. This resort was very quiet except for bird noises, the staff are very friendly and the grounds were lovely. There is free fishing, bicycles and wi fi available. We are a couple but meet several family groups who came for the adventure and extreme sports, beautiful waterfalls and plenty of animal parks within a short drive from the resort.
We had a massage in the spa which was very enjoyable. The breakfast buffet had eggs made to order but the other options are not very appetising but we have found that in many Asian hotels and restaurants.

Let's start it simple: it is a very nice place if you wanna get away from "every day routine" . So, we wanted. The hotel is 20 km away from Chiangmai. We rented a car right in the airport, was easy. It is better to pre-book a car before holidays, will be cheaper. If you wanna stay there you need a transport. By taxi to get to the hotel will be expensive. In general it is a good location. There is an elephant camps, zip lines, queens garden, monkey camp and lots of another things to see. On the reception you can find a lot of booklets with all of the info what you can visit around. The staff is extremely helpful and polite. On any our request they replied immediately. Thank you guys, you are awesome! We had a room with a terrace on the lake. Would not say it was new... but clean. Had towels, bathrobes, umbrellas, boiler, hairdryer. According the standard of a good hotel. It was 16-18 degrees in the time we've been. Would be nice to have a heater in the room, but they don't have. The view from the room is to the mountains, very pretty. So, I recommend. Could smoke on a terrace and have coffe/tea. The hotel has 2 pools, you can rent bicycles for free, can go fishing on the lake or take the boat to ride on the lake. The territory of the hotel is also very nice, clean, beautiful park, area for kids. You can see that the staff take care of the territory. There is a retirement home on the territory of the resort. May be not everyone will like it. We did. Nobody disturbed us. For the honeymoon couples it could be may be not the most romantic thing. People are different. The food is good as well. For breakfast we got everything we needed. Also had dinner once there. No complaints, only compliments. In general highly recommend. We even extended our stay for another week.
