This is a very special y property - we loved our stay! Our driver dropped us at Phutakien Pier and the long tail boat was already there, they are transferring guests to the resort regularly in the afternoon . Lots of free drinks and food in fridge. Nice restaurant. No mosquitoes in December. Nice pool at sister resort 5 mins walk away - you can return for free to the float house from the pier. Beutiful room and was very quiet. Reasonably priced massages.

Amazing experience, we could not recommend more! While the property is very remote, it is worth the extra effort to get there since it is so beautiful. The hotel staff and locals make it easy to transport there as well, it just takes a bit more time than staying on the main land. Jumping in the river from your own bungalow and floating down was so fun and a visit to Erawan falls national park is a must. Would recommend for both nature lovers and someone who enjoys relaxing in a beautiful and unique scenery. Definitely worth the money.

The property was amazing. But you really have to understand you are floating on the water and the property is constantly moving. Bring warm clothes for cool nights and mornings.

Beautiful resort - don’t miss it!

A truly fantastic place. A wonderful setting, with excellent rooms and so, so relaxing. Great spa facilities and such lovely staff across the resort. Catering for so many people meant some of the dishes were slightly westernised, but totally understandable. Would 100% recommend this place. Also, some genuine commitments to sustainability which is fantastic as without nature, this place wouldn’t exist.

A very exciting and unique experience!! You are taken to the hotel on a long boat and the entire hotel is floating on pontoons. Rooms are very nice, large, and they each have their own balcony right on the river. The food in the restaurant was very good which is important since there are no other restaurants. You can take the boat back to the dock and visit many places for the day including the bridge over the river Kwai.
