My stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful, set in the breathtaking beauty of the Golden Triangle. The service was outstanding, with Khun Siva and Khun Louise making our experience very memorable. The views from our room and the infinity pool were nothing short of spectacular. However, the storage space in the room was limited, which affected our comfort a bit. Overall, this place is perfect for a rejuvenating getaway, but additional storage in the rooms would elevate the experience even further.
