“Exceptional”
It was incredible. From the moment we arrived we were treated exceptionally well. Our room was perfect, so large and luxurious. The bed was huge and so comfy. The decking outside our room was just amazing and we would sit out and watch the boats go past. The indoor outdoor shower was lovely. The massages were to die for. The food was delicious and we jumped off the pontoon and into the river.

“Beautiful, Serene, Close to nature in a way hard to experience on those conditions”
property is very well designed. Views are amazing - The cliffs and the river itself. Food was great and prices were very fair. The staff were very attentive with helping me to book activities. The inland premises are gorgeous for a stroll as well - You can rent a bike (included) and go ride to a fruit garden, forest roads, and Lawa Cave. Outdoor shower was very nice and comfy, and was super fitting for the room's vibe. Staff really were amazing and accommodating - Caring for every need, interested if booked activities were good, and helping me schedule the boat transfer logistics in & out of the resort

“Relaxing and fun stay away from it all!”
A very special stay on the River Kwai.. the rooms were lovely, bed comfortable, stunning scenery and had such fun jumping in the river! Being able to cycle to the sister hotel to use their pool was a bonus. Also had some of the best food we had for the whole of our stay

Fantastic for a relaxing getaway. The rooms had everything we needed, clean, comfortable and loveley decorated in a traditional Thai style. Waking up to sit and see the early morning mist over the river was something I'll remember for a long time. On top of all this was the staff, the customer service was 5 stars, everyone friendly and attending every need with a smile making every customer feel special.

“A beautiful stay, in beautiful surrounds tucked away from the hustle and bustle, pure bliss!”
The Float House was just fabulous from start to end. The staff were all fantastic, went above and beyond. The room was huge, the beds super comfy. The view is breathtaking. Room Air-Con on was great. Food and drink were excellent and reasonable priced for the middle of nowhere. The set menu each night changed and there was a veggie menu. The trips on offer, were well throughout, and we thought a little at first but were excellent value. There were alsp large mosi nets for the beds.
