Property restaurant is ok, but the service was horrible. Ordered a bottle of white wine- no ice bucket came, ordered 3 cokes and a water which never came until we got them ourself. Had to get back up for glasses, wrong dishes came out after 45min to an hour. Others had came and gone and we didn’t even have our food. One dish came, but with no plates or silverware. It took 10 more minutes to get that, then we had one cold dish. Overall property is nice. The ONLY restaurant available has horrible service.

A hidden oasis of beauty and calmness. The rooms are very well appointed. We chose to drive all the way to the property and had already read reviews about the track leading to the resort...it is not a track, it's a perfectly comfortable road with stunning scenery, so please don't be put off driving there. The views of the river were wonderful, calming and serene. This really is a wonderful resort and one that we will return happily to.

A very beautiful and peaceful resort. The room was big and clean. I liked that the resort is located on a green territory, it felt like living in a park. It was pleasant to walk around and meditate. It is a great escape from big city life. The only downside was the regular noise from the long tail boats that depart from the resort pier from very early in the morning. Also, the staff uses walkie talkies as they clean the rooms and roam around the terrotory and I found that noise somewhat disturbing.

I liked everything about this property... the setting was lush jungle, but beautifully manicured to be inviting without being overwhelming. And of course, set on the banks of the Khwae Noi River, a tributary to the famous River Kwai (Khwae Yai). The staff provided outstanding service and help.. I couldn't have asked for more.

I arrived by rail at Nam Tok and found transport to the Resortel pier where I caught the long tail boat to the resort with no problem. The resort is older bus well maintained. It’s location and surroundings are beautiful. I would definitely go back again. Food at the restaurant was reasonable and acceptable. Staff were friendly.

The hotel is a nice resort in wonderful settings. We travelled there by car and it was OK to find, although you would not want to meet a big lorry coming the other way on the narrow winding road to the hotel. The rooms are bungalows set in grounds with jungle type vegitation around, so its not surprising to find wildlife too. We found a large spider in our room but was able to capture it and put it outside. The disappointments were about noise generated by tour groups early in the morning. Tour groups on rapid turnover seem to be the main business for the hotel. Its not then conducive to independent travellers. The food was not overly good and the tea at breakfast was disgusting. The food and drink was also very expensive. I know the place is a bit out of the way, but its only about twenty minutes drive from Nam Tok where all the usual produce is available.

Beautiful location, right beside the river, the scenery was amazing. The rooms are great, so comfortable. They said WiFi only at reception but there was strong WiFi all the way through the resort. So that was a bonus! And the staff, from the front desk to the restaurant were so friendly and accommodating. I would, and have, recommended to my friends and family.

Great Retreat
This hotel is in a remote location, so if you want to get away from it all - this is your place. Its over 60kms from Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai Museum and Bridge, so a trip to see them can cost between THB1600 - 1800 one way or THB2300 rtn from the hotel. Set right on the river it is peaceful and tranquil but with nothing around it, so all food and drink must be bought from the hotel and they do charge a premium small Chang beer at THB100. The restaurant serves reasonable food but they do like staying open past 9.00 p.m.- Breakfast is average. Rooms are in a fair condition and 'rustic' in nature
