Very Good

I love this hotel everyone is so friendly breakfast is very good swimming pools very good restaurants very good I will be back soon.
But no tea or coffee in room this I find very disappointing.
This hotel is I think wonderful but you must have your own transport as town is 10 minute drive
Staying at this hotel was like staying at a private jungle garden. Very peaceful and relaxing. Staff very friendly as well. Such a nice place, was difficult to want to leave for our tours. Was not within walking distance to different restaurants, however a short taxi ride into town. Resort was very good at helping with procuring transportation, which was usually 200 baht one way. Restaurant on site was also very good with plenty of options/variety (very much enjoyed the fried chicken with lemon). We also took advantage of the spa and pool. Both very relaxing. One thing to take note of, please be patient with the staff as I don't think they get too many English speaking visitors. Can't wait to go back.
This is a very nice Resort. The food is superb, in fact the best I have had this trip. All staff are very professional and polite. The hotel is located a little out of the city centre, so this hotel is best suited to people with their own transport, I had my own car so it was not a problem for me. Recommend Brad.
Looking for a place to relax & unwind, this is it!
Loved this resort & their service. Rooms were big with a balcony, bathroom was decent. Breakfast was great & all their other food was pretty good too. We were a group of 3 couples came to celebrate a birthday & just to relax & unwind. Requested the staff to decorate 1 of the room for the birthday & they did an amazing job, even helped us buy a birthday cake! We did not leave the resort for food or anything, the resort catered everything, even an awesome spa. There is also a nice romantic dinner place located next to the river. It was a perfect place to chill & relax. The resort was covered in greenery & it was such a calm place. Just a tip, bring mosquito/insect repellent. Since its surrounded in greenery, there are mosquito & insects.
Hotel itself is good. Good service and nice, clean room, free shuttle service at 10.30 am and 2.30 pm
But expensive food in hotel restaurant, hard to find other restaurants around the hotel.
Far from tourist spots.
I did a last minute booking with the hotel.. it took me a 100 B from Bangkok to Kanchanburi and double the amount each time I decided to step out even for a meal. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere..
The room was decent but bathrooms is where the issues started.. water getting held up and on.. no tea maker even on asking.. restaurant is expensive and is the only option..
The front office does not understand English and even a question could get you billed for service not wanted..
Mattresses were way too hard. Curtains were not black out. Walls are thin enough to hear what's going on next door. Local area is boring. Hotel does not exploit the river with watersport activities for example. Service was good and friendly. Breakfast was below average.
Staff are not well enough trained for 4star resort standard. Large percentage of guests speak English so do need staff that are at least conversational in English to cater to this.
Grounds are beautiful and position on river serene but very far from city which is restrictive.
Need to offer less buffet food options to ensure they are hot and fresh

Nice view
Nice view from river dining area.
Food is ok but a lot of deep fried so I f you don't like that look for other place to dine.
Stay away from the spa they don't have a clue how to give a proper Thai massage.
Should have been a great experience but left on bad terms when we tried to pay our bill and their credit card machine was broken. We were held captive for nearly an hour and none of their staff tried to solve the problem.
The hotel itself is very charming- quiet, green, scenic, with a fantastic swimming pool. The rooms are simple but inviting with their outdoor terrace and wood walls inside. The location is about a 10 min taxi ride from town which for me was an advantage since it's so quiet and peaceful at the hotel. We had a taxi come each day to go to Kanchanaburi for dinner. The menu in the hotel restaurant was pretty much all "fried", "crispy" or "deep fried" items. I can count on one hand the number of non fried items. (But dining in town is pretty amazing, possibly some of the best meals I had on this trip). The hotel breakfast, in my opinion, is really quite bad by Thailand standards. I have traveled to Thailand over 40 times and stayed at many hotels. The juices are not even freshly squeezed at the breakfast buffet. They are from a container. Breakfast was a big disappointment. Hotel wifi is pretty bad. Not many outlets in the rooms for charging your devices. Anyway for the price of the hotel per night it's best to simply enjoy the pool and the quiet then leave the hotel to eat.
