44 Residence And Resort

I really liked how well the place is managed. The rooms are very clean, smell great, get cleaned regularly, and have balconies. There’s also an in-house cafe, a gym, and laundry. One of the best hotels around here for the money.

The dome by the lake made for a peaceful, comfortable weekend staycation. Each geodesic tent has its own parking space and outdoor dining area. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and bars nearby, or you can order through LineMan and stay in to enjoy the lakeside setting. I was worried when Agoda / Trip.Com showed the check-in desk closing at 5 pm, since I wasn’t sure I’d arrive in time. I called reception, and they reassured me that a later arrival was fine and that the night security guard could give me the room key. I ended up arriving just in time to meet reception, and the staff went out of their way to make check-in smooth and the stay a positive one. There’s a one-way driving route around the resort. To reach your tent, you need to drive clockwise around the lake.

I stayed in a room, not a dome. The domes look nice, with parking right beside them. They seem like a good option as long as it isn’t raining.

I stayed for four weeks and found the location terrible, miles from anywhere. There’s chicken wire on the balcony, so you can’t look out. It felt like a prison. They even took an extra 1200 baht from the deposit. The staff were miserable and very unhelpful, and nobody spoke English. I couldn’t pay with a regular credit card, only through a bank in THAILAND. I kept getting unexplained extra charges, including an attempt to charge for the car parking space. The hotel feels like a con that just wants to get as much money from you as possible. DONT STAY AT THIS PLACE, do yourself a favour and find somewhere different.
