Before we came here, my girlfriend and I read quite a few negative reviews about this accommodation. I have to be honest and say that we do not recognize ourselves in them at all and had 2 wonderful days. ||I have to say that we stayed in one of the lodges, so I cannot judge the apartments. The lodges are spacious and clean and basically equipped with all amenities. The beds are wonderfully spacious and sleep well. For people with serious back problems perhaps a bit too hard. Here and there some small repairs could be carried out, but nothing was disturbing. The WiFi is not stable, but you see that almost everywhere in Northern Thailand. ||For a Dutch person the shower head hangs really too low, but if that is all.... đ ||I also read that people thought the place was dated???? I think many European luxury horses heat style with dating. This is Pai Thailand not a 5 Star hotel in New York, Dubai or Amsterdam. If all goes well, you will be outside 2/3 of the day to explore the beautiful surroundings and take in all the delicious flavors. ||The location of Bell Vila is beautiful but not for party animals. If you want to get drunk every day, go and sit in the middle of Pai..... ||The staff was super friendly and the breakfast was fine. In addition, there is a free shuttle service to The Walking Street available. What more could you want more?||There are 2 swimming pools, the smallest of which may need a little refurbishment, but that is and was not a turn off for us. ||My partner and I had a wonderful...

   Read moreI did not book this myself, but was here on a Tuk Tuk Club tour. I was surprised when I read the bad reviews and wondered whether they related to a period post-pandemic when the resort was below par and had not yet recovered. |I found our bungalow on stilts to be clean, spacious, comfortable, and really quite stylish. There was a long bench which provided plenty of space for luggage. There was a nice day bed space by the window. The room had a fridge and a safe. The bathroom was spacious with an open feel.|The large restaurant area overlooked one of the two large swimming pools and the fields beyond. Cold beer was available. The staff were courteous. Breakfast was a fruit and salad buffet in addition to a made to order dish with three egg options and three Thai options.|The resort is 1.3km from the main street of Pai which was a do-able walk during the day. However, the resort offered an at-call shuttle into town and we could arrange a pick up time (or call if you had a Thai phone). There was a place that did laundry for B50 per kilo just a few hundred meters down the road.|It was pleasant and peaceful sitting on the little balcony of the bungalow which overlooked the fields. A far more peaceful option than staying in the Freak City...
