Hotel berhampiran Wat Simalaisongtham, Daerah Pak Chong

Mooi resort gemoedelijke sfeer. Best jammer dat wij tijdens ons verblijf van 4 nachten de enige gasten waren maar dat maakte onze vakantie niet minder leuk 😜. Zeer behulpzaam personeel die we voor een aantal problemen op onze kamer een paar keer nodig hadden, ze waren elke keer snel ter plekke. Goed ontbijt, had meer een buffet ontbijt verwacht, misschien nu lastig ivm enige gasten. Fijne ruime en schone kamer. Heerlijk zwembad war het goed vertoeven is na een warme dag. Leuke restaurantjes in de buurt, niet echt op loopafstand. Leuke dingen te doen in de buurt zoals de Chocolate Factory en de Ban Tha Chang Spring, lekker poedelen in natuurlijk bronwater en natuurlijk het National Park op 10 km afstand

The hotel is built on a large area and has a very interesting architecture. You enter through the parking garage, upstairs is a friendly reception. The room numbers are confusing, it takes some time to understand the system. The room is nice and big with an extra sofa, a balcony, a modern trendy bathroom with bath and there is a fridge. One side of the bed has no nightstand. At the end of the area is the restaurant and the swimming pool. The pool is very big and circles around a central area. It is 1.20m deep. It is very quiet (aside from loud guests from time to time) and there are many places to sit, lie and relax. The restaurant has a great menu of Thai and western dishes. The food is very good and the prices are reasonable. The steak was great and the pizza also nice and thin with good topping. Service is with attention to detail. So far so good. Back in the room, wanting to relax a bit with the remainder of the wine we were exposed to the thumping bass of music from a party at least 100 meters away. Extremely irritating to a point that I had to leave the room and go for a walk. The noise came from a small restaurant on the main road with just a few visitors. It could be heard hundreds of meters down the road and also in the pool area. No escape. I don’t directly blame the hotel for this, but they should contact their neighbors and ask for some consideration. At half the volume it is still more than loud enough for the dancers. It went on till well after 10 pm. After that you can hear some traffic, so I would recommend to ask for a room farther from the road, the second building row. A place where I have to leave my room cannot score high on my come-back list. Unless of course the issue is solved. What a pity that in such a nice place the fun of a small group can affect the guests of 72 rooms in this hotel alone.

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.

Overall stay is beyond expectations. The view from the parking, entrance, lobby, walkaway were breathtaking. And the room is remarkable. We stayed in Villa 3. We were served by a butler named Boom Bim. She’s very beautiful, friendly & helpful. The best part, the hotel prepared halal food specially for us. The foods were very delicious & yummy. Thank you chef Som Chai. Happy & satisfied!

It was a wonderful experience at U Khao Yai. The hotel feels like a place in fairytale. Service was excellent and they really took into consideration all your needs. The view was also amazing from the room. We will definitely come back again!

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…

Beautiful setting. We booked the room with the upper floor, all nice and well-equipped with everything we need for our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Few points that we think the resort could take into their account to improve. 1. The pool area is really nice, except the beach bar and their music choices. I think they are trying to make it look like a fun beach bar but instead, look very cheap and out of the setting. Their music playlist is a crime. There were about 10 songs and they kept playing in the loop. If you cannot put together some nice and chill playlist (all covered song, not even the real artists), rather just don't play it at all. 2. Towels were run out at the pool area, we had to ask 3 times (within 1.5 hour) to get towels. There were no other guests at the pool area….just two of us. Not sure why they took so much time to get towels…. In my opinion, whoever responsible for the pool area should take more attention to improve it. 3. The seating in the room’s balcony had lots of dust.

Great location right by the entrance to Khao Yai National Park. Also many surrounding restaurants and cafes. The double bed that we got was big and comfortable. Room and bathroom are clean but a little dusty. Due to the surrounding nature, there were mosquitoes, just don’t leave the door open. Swimming pool is small but could be enough for kids. Dinner at the restaurant was nice! Their signature cocktails were good. And there was entertainment on a Saturday night - live music, bingo and fire show.

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!

Its a nice nature resort with lots of greens and perfect getaway from hustle bustle of city. You can hear insects and birds. Room is nice, clean and a sitting area at the balcony to enjoy the nature view. Breakfast was pretty decent. There is a mini zoo with two cute alpacas & rabbits. Did Thai Massage (900 baht an hour). There’s a small gym and swimming pool.
