I had an incredibly disappointing stay at this hotel and feel compelled to share my experience.

First, the basic amenities were either missing or of poor quality. There was no iron available, and the room was far from clean. There was hair and dandruff on the red sofa, mold and algae in the toilet corners, and a stained bedsheet. The towels weren't much different from rags , with the edges tattered and torn. The slippers were filthy with stains, and the carpet had not been vacuumed at all. When one of the front desk staff requested room service to clean our room with a vacuum, the cleaner actually argued with her in front of us and was unwilling to do it.

Another major issue was the lack of a promised golf cart to pick us up. Despite calling 10 times, no one answered, and we were left to carry all of our luggage ourselves up to the lobby, which was an uphill task given the hotel's hilly terrain.

To make matters worse, during check-in, the staff made a huge mistake by assigning other guests to our booked room— the only room left. There was no proper verification of guest names, and they mixed up a Chinese (two-syllable) name with a Christian name! How can a hotel fail to check passports before assigning a room?

We were forced to wait almost an hour to check in due to their mistake, causing us to miss our sunset plans. The staff only offered an insincere “sorry,” and when we requested to speak with a manager, he was equally unhelpful. The only compensation offered was 1,500 THB for their Michelin restaurant, which hardly felt like a fair resolution. The food was a letdown as well. I ordered a deep-fried roti with banana, and they accidentally used salt instead of sugar icing. It was incredibly salty, and I'm still unsure if this was an honest mistake or something done on purpose.

The Wi-Fi was non-existent during our stay. When we called the manager (who seemed to be having a jolly time based on the background sounds), his explanation was that the entire hotel had this problem. He assured someone would come to our room to check the issue, but of course, no one ever showed up. It was all talk and no action.

The next morning, when we turned on the tap, only muddy yellow water came out, leaving us unable to wash up. When we went to have breakfast, no staff approached us or offered any service. We had to ask the staff what was available. However, when a Caucasian family arrived later, the staff were quick to prepare their table and provide menus. This was an obvious display of preferential treatment. To top it all off, my wife found a piece of plastic packaging from the cheese slice in her omelette.

Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel, and I definitely won’t be returning. There were multiple issues with service, cleanliness, and management, making this stay both frustrating and far from enjoyable. It was a nightmare experience that ruined my wedding anniversary trip to the beautiful region of Chiang Mai. If the owner ever reads this, please train your manager and staff better, as their lack of professionalism was clear in every aspect...

For city dwellers looking to unwind from the hustle and bustle, don't hesitate to get the slightly pricer mountain view suites - it is well worth the money! The Chantra suite was amazing (photos just don't do it enough justice). Very spacious, had a big bathtub, huge mirrors and balcony with a view to die for. ||||Do note, however, that this place is truly VERY out of town with no grab service. There is quite literally no where you can walk to (aside from within the compound), so you are kinda 'stuck' in the resort - even for food you'll have to get from their (really good) restaurant. So this is not for those who want to explore the old town, temple hop or do shopping. BUT, this is absolutely perfect for that getaway where you do nothing but read, listen to music and well... waste the day away just staring at the mountains and clouds. ||||Food is really good too, get the staff to recommend and you'll never go wrong! View of the restaurant is great and if you are lucky, you'll be in the company of two very gentle dogs. ||||Some very minor room for improvement would be cleanliness, language and service... I guess. Don't get me wrong, these are already at a 7 point grade, but it could be much better! For cleanliness, floor was clean but high dusting was not done, so you see webs on the lights and stuff, curtains were dusty too. Place is also in need of some repainting/maintenance - some very obvious cracks could be seen on the walls. ||||Language wise, one or two staff could do basic English, but it would seem they are not as used to foreign tourists as the hotels in the city centre. But even so, they were always very friendly and smiling :) ||||Service was pretty good - they had a buggy to take you around, staff were always willing to help if you approached them and they even offered me a take away box when i had to check out early in the morning! Thank you! What i thought would sweeten the deal even more is if they could offer more snacks, fruits and drinks in the room - they provide the basics but to be 'stuck' in this place with no convenience store nearby, i think it would be great if we had more options beyond instant coffee, coke and a few pieces of cookies to last the whole stay. ||||But all in all, this was a great place to stay. Pricey? Yes. But the view and serenity of the place is just so, so calming and rejuvenating. I would certainly come back!||||*P.S. I stayed in Sep during the monsoon season. It would seem this is a lull period so there aren't many guests. I only saw one other group of guests in my...
