Lonely Planet
"Located south of the city on the banks of Mae Nam Chao Phraya, ‘resort’ is in this case at least an accurate moniker for this expansive, relax-oriented hotel."
DK Eyewitness
"A true resort in more than name, with great tropical gardens perfect for relaxing after a day spent sightseeing."
