This stay was amazing. It was truly a 3 person room and we had plenty of space among us. The room was clean and the natural light was a pleasure to wake up to.

My husband and I stayed here as a weekend escape from Guangzhou, China. It was a breath of fresh air! The driver was arranged to pick us up from the airport and the process was seamless. He was hospital and very accommodating. The room was so clean and comfortable and the food at the property was to die for! We did the Full Day excursion with the elephants and everything was perfect! The value for the money spent as guest from the Western World was impressive. The elephant wake-up call was so worth it. We loved our stay here and would recommend it hands down to every and everyone!

Just be careful with the elephant bathing….they spray water in you face which is fun at the time, but then we got quite sick with all the elephant poo in the water. Would recommend feeding and raft ride

There was a mix up re our booking, we were booked on the wrong trip followed by placing us in the wrong room not the one booked. If this wasn’t enough after long tiring journey the receptionist demanded we move. Luckily there was a very pleasant receptionist who settled the matter. This spoilt our whole trip

We had an amazing 3d/2n stay. The staff go above and beyond. The rooms are rustic, very clean, large and comfortable. Beautiful deck to sit and relax, take in the scenery and listen to nature. Food is delicious at the complimentary breakfast and prices are reasonable in the restaurant for lunch and dinner. Even the gift shop prices are reasonable. The elephants are well taken care of, it was such a wonderful experience to be so close to such magnificent creatures. Leo and Noa were wonderful guides. We will never forget our time at the sanctuary.

Eco-stay in Chiang Mai
This is a wonderful eco-friendly lodge right in the Thai countryside. The bungalows are small but clean and most importantly-air conditioned. It is not a site for those with mobility issues as the bungalows are built on a hillside and the restaurant is at the top. There is a bit of a walk across a suspension bridge and on a dirt track between reception and the bungalow. That being said, it is peaceful and you have very close access to the elephants. There are no televisions but the WiFi was the best we have had in Thailand so streaming was a breeze. Really nice getaway from the city. Highly recommend.

The place is pretty amazing, the elephants are big babies… i expect a little more time with them as anything you want to do with them has to be paid for.

Fun times with elephants
This is an incredible place. We spent one night here and wish we could spend more. The hotel picked us up from the airport. We drove about 45 min to the hotel. The facility, the rooms, everything was absolutely gorgeous. We arrived and had massages at our room. We ordered food, and ate it on our balcony looking over the landscape. In the morning we had the elephant wake up, which was so much fun. (for 30 min an elephant comes up to the balcony and you feed bananas). We then did the full day with elephants. The restaurant was also lovely. There was so much open space for the elephants too, which was one of our concerns. This place seems incredible focused on creating a open and ethical environment. We couldn't ask for more!

Absolutely gorgeous property with top notch activities. Booking activities is separate from the hotel stay will almost double the nightly cost, but it is totally worth the money, the resort is an hour outside of Chiang Mai, so you will eat all your meals in the resort restaurant.

Personnels super accueillant et service de driver super, pour l'avoir énormément utilisé, on le confirme. C'est à une heure de Chiang Mai city, donc profitez de l'hôtel plutôt que de réserver des activités loin.
