I was here for a few days. It’s quite a lovely place and the facility and the staff are great. Just a few things to be aware of when choosing to book here: The rooms are spacious. Mattress is medium soft/hard. The buffet breakfast is plentiful and well serviced but it’s quite limited after a few days. The pool area is lovely as is the garden area but it needs updating. I’d advise you to check your room for hot water and mold before you settle in. The room safes are not secured to the wall so someone could, technically, take it out of the room and break open. My room, A318, had no hot water at all. I did talk to the desk staff about it and they tried to get it fixed eventually telling me it was fixed but it was always cold. I don’t need or expect hot water in Asia (I live in Thailand) but cold water kinda sucks in a shower. They offered to move me to a different room but I declined. There were spotty areas of mold in my room - be careful of that too. The hotel is a bit tired, especially the grounds and some of the furnishings and fixtures - it could all use a facelift and refresh. I did enjoy my time here and will consider returning but I will definitely be more careful about the room. They have a published water conservation policy posted in the rooms but it’s not followed at all. As per the policy, I hung my towels on the rack so they wouldn’t be washed. I came back and had new towels. When I informed them of the hot water situation they told me the engineer said to run the shower water for 10 minutes to get it hot. Odd? You betcha! So much for conservation and environmental awareness. Nonetheless, it’s good medium priced small hotel worth giving a try.

The hotel is quite far but that is not a bad thing if one wants to be cut off from the rest of the world and have a relaxing time…. We booked the penthouse suite which came with 2 bedrooms, living room, balcony, private pool and jacuzzi… The view of the lakes, and Khao Yai in general from this level is simply stunning. Beside eating at the hotel, there is also a Thai eatery outside the hotel ground about 2 minutes' walk away. Breakfast with the view of the serene lakes, the greenery and mountain backdrop is just amazing… one can watch the sunset from the back and sunrise rom the front of the hotel as well…. Mattress was firm so we had really good restful sleep here. The hotel managed to get us a private pickup with driver for the entire day to visit Khao Yai stopping at waterfall, watching wild deers and monkeys along the way... there are many places of interest nearby for all ages... winery, go kart, zoo, etc Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here… Would definitely come back again…

In Khao Yai there are three types of hotels: 1) Many quite local, inexpensive hotels of varying quality that cost ~B1000 (in other, non-touristy locations, these hotels would be B500-B600). 2) A few very fancy and quite expensive hotels. 3) A few hotels in the middle - nicer than #1, and less expensive than #2. Fortune fits into this nice middle category. We enjoyed our stay at Fortune, but it is quite expensive for what they provide. The Beds were quite nice (i.e. soft yet supportive) for this big Farang, and for that one big reason we paid the higher price. The room was OK, but nothing fancy. The included breakfast was quite basic, but edible. We choice to skip the breakfast after the first morning. While the gentleman at the front desk is *quite* helpful and responsive, and the rest of the staff do their jobs, there could be more attention paid to making sure things are done well. For instance, our bath mat was pretty disgusting and when we left it on the floor to be changed, the maids just hung it back up. Broadly, Fortune could invest in some maintenance. Visitors should seek discounts, either on-line or in-person when they arrive.

Lala Mukha is a very special experience. The hotel is well situated and well maintained. The tents are small but very cute and if you want to get close to nature, this is it. Some cheapskates might feel that ca. 100 usd for a tent is expensive, however you are paying for the experience and an experience it is. We saw a elephant at 6:15 in the morning right behind our tent (the people who thought we his place was expensive probably were asleep…). In any case it is worth it.

First time to Khao Yai and happy we chose this resort. Do note, there are two resorts in this location, which can be a little confusing - Muthi Maya and Kiri Maya. Kiri Maya, it appears, is mostly geared towards folks staying at the golf course on the premises. We stayed in a Forest Pool Villa room, which was absolutely incredible. Every villa is nestled away from the main traffic at the resort and was very private. The room itself was very large, including a ridiculously huge bathroom complete with oversized soaking tub. The beds were comfortable and large, with fresh linens and medium/soft pillows. The main attraction was obviously the private pool, measuring in at around 7 meters by 3 meters. Unfortunately, given the fact that we came in January, the water was pretty frigid, so we only managed a very brief dip. That said, there's ample space, lounge chairs, and a large outdoor sofa to simply relax in. Service was exceptional from check-in to check-out. The staff was friendly and helpful, and if you speak English, also bi-lingual. We never ordered room service or ate at the on-site restaurant, but did enjoy the large breakfast buffet. While maybe not as diverse as a big Bangkok area breakfast buffet, the spread was still impressive - fresh fruits, meats, cheeses, egg station, boiled rice, dim sum selections, along with some staple Thai dishes like fried rice, boiled rice, and more. There are quite a few on-site food options, including being able to have a private chef and BBQ at your villa, or a special mookata BBQ with various different kinds of set menus. However, the prices, as expected, are pretty high. There are a TON of local food options in the area, including some exceptionally tasty (and cheap) Thai restaurants just a short drive away. One interesting attraction was the Forest of Illusion, a short on-site self-guided walking tour on the grounds. Starting at 6 PM, you can walk a short path around the resort complemented by fun lights, laser displays, and more. For some reason, this season's theme is Snoopy and Peanuts, which did seem a bit odd. Do note, the Forest of Illusion does cost 350 Baht per person, which is steep. It was mitigated by a small 10% discount for being a resort guest, but overall I'm not sure the value is really there to justify such a high price. Overall, our experience here was great and we're already planning another visit next year, perhaps during the low season to better take advantage of the pool!

Amazing place. Service is great by the main receptionist who is there 24/7 - she helped me out a lot. Making my stay more comfortable than it should have been. Beds are springy but too hard for me, luckily she gave me a softer mattress on top to help me out. I wish I accepted the extra blanket on the 1st day... it got really cold that night even with the aircon off. But oddly the next 2 nights there were durable. The last night was even hot. Oddly. The cleanliness here ain't the best... especially on the mat thing... and considering that insects come in frequently... especially small ants that bit me on the bed...I think maybe the glamping tent at the top might be more comfortable? I'm unsure since I only booked the superior plus. Food is really good even though very simple. Great variety too. Really enjoyed my stay here overall. But I had to deal with a lot of the bugs I got from a previous hotel... so that was really tough for me. Laundry service is not available here. Only further down the road. Also, not too foreigner friendly as only one person speaks basic English here. Boiler, fridge, hairdryer and some shampoo/soap, hair net & cotton buds are provided. As well as 2 bottle of water a day. Quite great really. The water. Only con is that there wasn't a chair to really eat on the table...

When we arrived at this ”hotel” it did not have a reception. We drove our car around the property and at one point we saw our residence. A staff member approached us and we went through the formalities with her using google translate. We had rented the glass house building. Not a single bed lamp worked and the air conditioning is a device of 2 by 1 by 1 meter. Toilet and shower is very small and the toilet did not flush. The lady fixed the toilet but not the lamps! All information is in Thai up to and including the menu. So it seems more a place for Thai then for foreigners. The swimmingpool is far from our stay neat the tents ansmd is 2 by 3cmeters. No chairs, nothing! They suggested to take the car!!! We ordered from the menu and it was delicious! After we returned at the beginning of the evening , our room was not cleaned. The employee with Google translate said that she is coming, but that does not happen. So the dirty dishes and cups we placed outside. After request we've got clean cups and glasses. After 1 minute she was gone. The next morning we left and we were realy astonished. It's not a hotel, it has no service and we had zero information

The place is beautiful and peaceful. Staff are ready to assist all the time and friendly. They are willing to provide extra services like helping us to make reservation for our dinner at midwinter as well provide guides on places to visit over at khao yai.
