    I can't fault anything from this resort. The only thing that was unfortunate was the time of year we visited. April is the hottest month and we were there right at the end of March, it was roasting! But obviously, The Royal River Kwai can do nothing about the weather.

    The pool is absolutely stunning! We had a magical time here, our room was quite, clean and super comfortable. The dinning area for dinner service down by the river was wonderful, the staff super attentive. Food was delicious for all meals. We enjoyed the massive spread for buffet breakfast and the helpful staff when planning day trips. The Spa was wonderful, I had a couple of really great massages, friendly staff and a clean comfortable environment. That pool though - if it wasn't so hot when we were there (April) I could have spent days hanging out there.

    The pool is a decent size but there is no fitness centre, so swimming is the only exercise option.

    Peaceful hotel - a great place to relax and chill out without a lot of noise. Perfect riverside location - if you get up early enough, you can watch kingfishers dive in and out of the trees to feed. Not too many people and food and beverage outlets closed at 10:00 PM, so no late night chaos. Highly recommended for a riverside getaway...

    Restaurant and bar are closing at 9PM which is quite early. The hotel seems to be a favorite of large groups who can be noisy around the pool.

    Very nice oasis garden feeling with a great pool to rest after visiting the area. Nice restaurant along the river with quiet live music.

    The bathroom was ok in general except for the shower. It was too low for me. I guess it was designed for someone much shorter (I’m 1.8 mts and the shower hit me at my chest)

    It’s a very nice place full of nature and a great view of the river. You can relax and enjoy every spot of this place. Large pool, good food and friendly staff.

    Matress and pillows are stone hard. They gave us softer pillows after we asked twice for it.

    Nice Thai style setting directly at the river with a very nice riverside restaurant. The pool is old style and up to 2 m deep. Realy good for swimming. Staff were very friendly. I liked very much the friendly policy not asking for deposits.
