“The hotel strikes me as a surprisingly serene escape, given its Bangkok address; I picture myself unwinding at the spa after a long day. I'm particularly intrigued by the private dining cruises-an unusual way to experience the Chao Phraya River. It seems ideal for families, with its kids' club and varied activities, yet sophisticated enough for business travelers seeking seamless meeting facilities.”

decent stay, but some issues encountered

crowded pool area insufficient space

the breakfast spread offered a varied selection and was acceptable.

The pool got overly crowded. It lacked sufficient space for the number of guests. i think the hotel really needs to address this. it detracted from the relaxation i expected.
