Hotels near Wat Tham Dao Khao Kaeo, Muak Lek

The hotel lives up to its name indeed. The hosts (couple) can communicate in English, very personable and attentive even when they are busy. Breakfast was simple, very delicious and not too expensive. Location is far from main attractions but very close to Pak Chong Night Market and the famous Banmai Chaynam restaurant (walking distance across the road). The room layout and setting are very nice and cosy, the balcony has table and chairs to enjoy the view of the lush green trees and creek. Highly recommend.

Great location, amazing staff. Really helpful. Good food and bar service. Perfect for a couple of nights to relax. Would recommend this as a great place to stay for couples. Pool was nice. Riverside location very peaceful.

The service staff is good, the atmosphere is good, clean, the room is big but the small air conditioner is very hot. Other than that, no complaints at all.

Beautiful resort, pool refreshing and clean Sparkling clean & beautiful rooms Excellent cuisine - breakfast and dinner very good. Afternoon tea a big plus (could actually replace lunch) Staff very helpful and kind (English skills could be improved though), big heart for children. Outstanding service, they organized a wildlife safari and massage service on short notice. Would always come back. The area is very quiet, which is nice but you definitely need a car to get around.

The accommodation has a good atmosphere. We went during the rainy season with my boyfriend. The atmosphere is very good. The room has breakfast for a picnic. Personally, booking with the hotel is 1,000 baht cheaper than booking with Trip. There is a choice of dinner as a set of grilled pork for 600 baht. You can inform us before staying or before 4 pm. Overall, I was impressed. I recommend that the rainy and cold seasons here should be romantic.

Overall stay is pleasant even though there was some unhappiness when we arrived. Counter told us they did not receive my booking. It was a total surprise and shock. They tried calling Trip and told us they couldn't check us in. Imagine a total of 11 pax sitting at the lobby feeling tired but couldn't rest in their rooms. Finally they got the green light from trip. Breakfast was good. It was pre order so we just has to inform them what we want. The counter staff Rose was very helpful at the breakfast. My friend's room had a big spider on the wall but by the time the staff came it crawled into the aircon vent. Arghh quite scary actually... Despite all these it was a pleasant stay in Splendid hotel. The places of interest on our first day were near one other. Our last stop before the hotel was just 5 to 8 mins drive. However no 7-11 nearby but they have a vending machine for chips and other snacks. The rooms are spacious. Cleanliness acceptable. No stained bedsheets or dirty towels etc.

There is not much parking, but can park outside the hotel fence under the Big wood 9. Value for money at the price.

I was here for a few days. It’s quite a lovely place and the facility and the staff are great. Just a few things to be aware of when choosing to book here: The rooms are spacious. Mattress is medium soft/hard. The buffet breakfast is plentiful and well serviced but it’s quite limited after a few days. The pool area is lovely as is the garden area but it needs updating. I’d advise you to check your room for hot water and mold before you settle in. The room safes are not secured to the wall so someone could, technically, take it out of the room and break open. My room, A318, had no hot water at all. I did talk to the desk staff about it and they tried to get it fixed eventually telling me it was fixed but it was always cold. I don’t need or expect hot water in Asia (I live in Thailand) but cold water kinda sucks in a shower. They offered to move me to a different room but I declined. There were spotty areas of mold in my room - be careful of that too. The hotel is a bit tired, especially the grounds and some of the furnishings and fixtures - it could all use a facelift and refresh. I did enjoy my time here and will consider returning but I will definitely be more careful about the room. They have a published water conservation policy posted in the rooms but it’s not followed at all. As per the policy, I hung my towels on the rack so they wouldn’t be washed. I came back and had new towels. When I informed them of the hot water situation they told me the engineer said to run the shower water for 10 minutes to get it hot. Odd? You betcha! So much for conservation and environmental awareness. Nonetheless, it’s good medium priced small hotel worth giving a try.

The bed, pillows, blankets are comfortable, there are some damaged bathroom accessories, but they have been changed. For cleanliness, some holes in the corner of the room.
