Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Just a heads up, they don’t take credit card if you plan to do laundry from them. Also, the room has a list of items on the wall, that the hotel will charge you if you break or stain!

Absolutely amazing stay. My husband and I fell under the weather and the staff were incredible. They brought us bottles of water nearly every morning. Their level of hospitality is unmatched and it really made our stay very pleasant. We will for sure return to this location in the future!

The most beautiful place to stay, we had the best and most relaxing time! The staff were amazing, so kind and welcoming, and the room itself was incredible. Our room was beautifully decorated for our anniversary and the floating breakfast was the best experience. The location was also perfect, with a 7-11 just up the road. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to end our trip! Thank you so so much ❤️

We loved our stay! Walking into the room was a lovely surprise! Lovely high beamed ceilings, huge bed with a huge bath! Spotless all round! The pool was lovely to cool off after busy days in the heat, I can’t compliment the Staff enough! They were super friendly and so helpful,
Breakfast was absolutely lovely and so well pretended! Plenty of choice and lots to fill you up to start the day, loads of restaurants and shops on your door step, thank you to all at Arun Dara Villa for a memorable stay

we absolutely loved our stay at arun dara villas. the place was in the best location just down the road from the massive sunday night market and 30 metres from a 7-eleven was super handy! the accomodation was amazing with lots of space inside, a gorgeous luxury bathroom with the best shower we’ve ever tried and the private pool was used a fair bit too. we loved our stay so much and will definitely be back, however we would like to add the bath seemed to need a bit repairs as the bath stopped filling up after a while and the water pressure was significantly worse than the power shower, this had absolutely no negative affect on the place whatsoever we would just like to make the staff aware. special thanks to N̂ả from reception who didn’t stop helping us from the moment we asked until she retrieved my lost phone from a grab, absolute lifesaver. thank you to Arun Dara villas for such a wonderful time it was truly special!

Such a luxurious stay for our honeymoon! The pool was chilly but it felt nice on the really hot days. It was nice that breakfast was included and dropped off at a specified time and the owner recommended some different activities for us that we ended up loving! Chiang Mai ended up being our favorite part of the trip due to the activities, scenery, and night market.

good memory in
People from the Villa were all great and very kind. It's a pity not to have an experience of breakfast as I woke up very late everyday. There is nothing to complaint, but to thank for everything.

The room was big, had a high ceiling, and was very clean. Breakfast was very generous and delicious and service was great. The only thing is the actual room looks different from the photos, the design and textures used in the room were very mixed and confusing, so if you are someone who looks out for room design, you might want to take note of this point. Location is not so great as well.

No hot water in the bathtub in the room. I thought the cost performance was...
Nice to be able to smoke on the terrace of the room and Good location for visiting temples and commercial areas at night.

We couldn't have asked for a better location or friendlier staff. They truly went above and beyond for all our needs. The room was gorgeous as well. The only true complaint we have is that the toilet never flushed correctly and the mattress is very very firm which made sleeping a little uncomfortable and made us very sore in the morning. That being said, I'd still recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone and would definitely come again. Don't sleep on this place! It's a gem.

The door to the outdoor private pool has a large gap in it. This is why the mosquitos are so prevalent here and much less of a problem at other resorts nearby. The air conditioning also doesnt cool the room because of the angle its at and the door gap. The door gap also decreases the eco-friendliness because energy is wasted trying to cool the room. We had to leave a few hours after arrival and book a same day hotel elsewhere because the mosquitos and heat were such a problem.The staff were helpful but that does not fix the massive construction problems. This place has so much potential but I would not stay here unless I knew it had underwent complete renovation.

Hôtel incroyable et personnel adorables.
Nous avons réservé 2 nuits dans ce très beau hôtel, nous avons était accueillis très chaleureusement.
La chambre est vraiment très jolie, la salle de bain également et la piscine incroyable.
Le petit déjeuner est vraiment copieux, et est excellent.
Je vais me permettre quelques commentaires dans le but d’aider à améliorer le confort.
La baignoire est vraiment très grande et c’est parfait mais l’eau chaude n’est pas suffisante pour la remplir à son maximum donc c’est plutôt un bain tiède malheureusement.
Nous aurions aimer retrouver des peignoirs pour la sortie de la piscine ou de la douche ça aurait était un vrai plus.
Malheureusement les lumières dans la piscine ne fonctionnent pas, c’est vraiment dommage.
Mais la piscine est chauffée et ça c’est un vrai plus. (Même si elle n’est pas chauffée continuellement, parfois un peu fraîche).
Il serait bon aussi de rafraîchir les murs autour de la piscine, car à certains endroits ils ont changer de couleur avec l’eau de la piscine et ce n’est pas très jolie. (Un paysage de la Thaïlande, avec des éléphants des cocotiers en tag serait vraiment top).
Merci pour les petits porte-clés, c’est vraiment un geste qui donne le sourire. Et vraiment merci à tout le personnel, adorables et professionnels.
