Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai — Hotel in Nakhon Ratchasima Province

Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai encapsulates the romantic charms of a Tuscan-themed countryside 5-star resort at the fringes of Khao Yai National Park.

Location – Located less than 3 hours away from Bangkok, it is an ideal getaway for families, friends, and couples looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and unwind. Thematically, the structures offer a castle-like experience which is sure to enchant the most discerning travelers. Pictures do not do justice to this place as the cool night breeze and scent of wet grass are not reflected in mere static photos. The flaura and fauna of the rich biodiversity of Khao Yai National Park is best experienced for those residing here.

Covid-19 Test – Before arriving in the resort premises, we had to do a quick and painless complimentary Covid-test provided. The test was done in the car itself with the windows rolled down. There professional nurses are accommodating and this touch really provided a sense of safety while moving about in the resort. Knowing that everyone had been tested and were Covid-free allowed us to enjoy the resort more freely.

Service - Attentive to every detail. From the check-in we noticed that the hotel has implemented the 'new normal' standards and provide minimal touch points at check-in and social distancing. Smooth, efficient and friendly from the porters, bellboys and reception staff. It's heartwarming to see smiling staff who are eager to assist you in anyway. Upon check-in, we were escorted to our room by a buggy. We couldn't not fault a single staff, from the bell boy to the waitresses at the restaurants to the management.

Accommodations – Unique Renaissance and Baroque-style rooms and decor adds to the Tuscan-feel. We stayed in their Executive Deluxe with picturesque views of the Khao Yai valleys from a large balcony. Large king-sized bed with the perfect level of softness that ensured a sound and restful sleep. The room fixtures and furnishings are excellent and you can see their attention to detail. Their large flat-screen smart TV made it easy for us to connect our smart devices to enjoy some Netflix. You probably won’t be doing much of streaming as the Nature show is on 24/7 as you step on to the balcony (Tip: bring your mosquito repellent). Ensuite bathrooms has a separate shower and bathtub. Water pressure and heat were great which is very important for anyone staying at an Accor standard property to say the least.

Wifi - Fast, stable and reliable throughout the resort make this a viable destination to work away from the cities hustle and bustle. Perhaps a good option for a staycation which this quick escape always on the cards.

Breakfast in room - Enjoyed breakfast served to the room. We had a mix of both American and Continental options available. Crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, sausages, etc. Special mention: if you request for crispy bacon, they make them perfectly thin and crispy. We looked forward to breakfast in the mornings in the balcony while overlooking the enchanting mountainous landscape.

Weather – the weather was good. During the day we enjoyed the sun with short afternoon shower which only adds to the luscious surroundings. At night things got a bit cooler which is always great. In the winter months, a light jacket and shawls maybe recommended.

Flavors Restaurant - This international restaurant offers all-day dining options with indoor and outdoor seating options available. We enjoyed unobstructed mountain views along-side tasty local and international flavors. They even have an on-site organic garden where they use ingredients from farm to table. Generally, there dishes were pact with flavor and we especially enjoyed their seafood Chinese-style flat noodle dish.

Thank you for a...

This property has well manicured gardens and surroundings and I am impressed at how they keep everything impeccable! Kudos to the team for a great job.

We were spoiled. We got the best room with the most wonderful view of the golf course, the mountains and the villas in the horizon. Clean room with a luxurious decor and faux fireplace, separate shower and single tub giving it the European castle room feel and the most comfortable king bed. So it’s a castle inside and out.

Breakfast is generous with a wide selection of Fruits, salads, bread and pastries, cheese and Asian menu such as rice, soups, congee and noodles. I personally love that the bacon is crispy and cooked how it is supposed to be. They even have a corner dedicated for kids. It’s a great option for vegans, vegetarians too as they also have an organic farm on site and use fresh produce for the meals.

Lunch and dinner at the flavors restaurant is amazing. Eat al fresco so you can enjoy the view and the fresh air. The “my ozone” mint and peach and lychee drinks were amazing. I have my eye on the massaman lamb curry. Thai dishes are good, I asked for not spicy and it’s perfect! The sea bass was one of my favorites too.

We also had experienced a beautiful dinner under the stars with live music and campfire. It’s a “sabai- sabai” concept with food being prepared at a grilling station and being brought to your picnic mats and tents. There’s thai food and French fries, beers, cocktails, burgers… It was a romantic, chill night. Exactly what we wanted.

We didn’t leave the property at all. There are a lot of interesting things to do, apart from golf and walking around the main “castle” and surrounding gardens.

We played pétanque and ate ice cream at the castleton cafe.

We fed the rabbits, deers, lambs and goats at the animal club. They have chickens, pigs and horses too.

We did ATV around the property- my first time driving one myself as I have always been afraid but I quite enjoyed myself!

There is also a beautiful indoor and outdoor pool decorated with chandeliers.

They have bikes for adults and kids if you want to work out and go around the property.

I had no time to check out the spa but it seems regally splendid offering health checks and bionic scans too.

Thanks to Benoit and his wonderful team who personally ensured that we “enjoy the moment” and spoiled us from when we arrived up until we checked out. He is by far one of the most attentive and omnipresent GM I have ever observed in action.

We also had Tim welcome us and sign us up for Accor plus, making sure we get the best deals and get value for money! It was a pleasure feeling your hospitality through your attentiveness and kind words.

Due to this wonderful experience, we left the hotel drawing up plans when to come back.

I cannot express how absolutely overjoyed we are in our stay at this beautiful property. We didn’t just go to spend a day at a beautiful property, we truly found a place to rest,...

We recommend coming before 8:00 a.m. otherwise the dining room will be very crowded and you will have to wait in line to wait for a table.||- There are many children running around in the dining room. Please be careful when walking, carrying plates or food to the dining table. ||- This is important. I think we eat spicy food to a certain extent. The chefs here make every spicy Thai dish 😑" Anyone who can't eat spicy food, please be careful. ||On Saturday evenings, there is a place to sit and chill, live music on the lawn, the wind blowing, the weather is nice, but you can't use Accor discounts here. ||HALF BOARD package, including an Italian dinner for 2 people at the SAPORI CUCINA restaurant, 2nd floor.
