Khum Phaya Resort & Spa, Centara Boutique Collection

The hotel construction is pleasing

Hotel is not a 4 star, 3 at best. Internet, Sat TV were both spotty, mattress was uncomfortable, pillows too large. Free breakfast selection was disappointingly limited, It would have been nice to have some separation from children's area instead it was noisy at times. also construction was annoying and unexpected given the price.

This is a beautiful resort with a lushious garden and we could enter the pool from our room which was nice. If you're looking for a romantic spot, want to get some rest and massages, and do not want to do a lot of site seeing, this is a great hotel.

Our room was a litte small for a "deluxe" room. The bathroom couldn't be closed because of shutters in the door and window to the room. Since I was travelling with a friend this was pretty inconvenient. It was low season and the poolbar was closed which was a pity. The resort is located far from the city centre next to a Carrefour. All the excitement is in Chiang Mai. Taxi fees are 200 bath one way, the price is non negotiable and you have to wait 15 minutes every time you need one. Late at night it's not very simple to come back to the hotel. Prices for spa treatments are close to European prices. Since I was travelling with a friend (and not my lover) this hotel wasn't the best choice for us.
