4 Stars Hotels in Chanthaburi Province, Thailand

Convenient location, easy travel, comfortable rooms, simple but chic decorations. There is no refrigerator in the room. The bathroom is not very clean. Maybe because the floor is black. It's a clear stain. Cleaning is not as good as it should be. Drinks are always available. There is a co-working space. The breakfast is good and has a lot of variety.

If you dont have to wait 35 minutes for your room to be ready. If there was a comfortable chair in the room instead of two straight backed ones. If the golf cart wasn’t out of order after dinner to take you back to your room 100 meters away. If the cushions for the lounges at the pool were available instead of having to lie on hard wood. Very hard wood. The cushions and pillows were stacked up and wrapped in plastic covering even though it was a sunny day. All day. If the food was more than just OK at the pool side restaurant. The power failure was not the fault of the hotel but it’s still a long way down from floor 8. If the fifth floor rooftop bar that is listed actually was open. If the massage was actually available as listed. Overall this is a nice enough place but it just needs to address some of these minor issues that perhaps individually are not important but that cumulatively add up to a sometimes frustrating stay.

For many years, we have always been happy to finish our 3-month Thai tour to this hotel that is very quiet on the river. The rooms are comfortable and clean, breakfast is mainly oriented to Thai but it is in Thailand and not in Europe. The only negative are the cold eggs, also the prepared meals are not warm but good. Unfortunately, it is not understandable in the restaurant with the English knowledge that you don't want to have the fresh-maked mirror swept on both sides, but that was almost every hotel outside the tourist areas. We simply don't understand why young people don't speak a word English when it is allegedly learned in schools.

The Chatrium Golf Resort is a perfect golfing facility. The course is very well designed, with a great variety of well thought out and challenging but fair holes, while at the same time suitable for golfers of all levels. The greens are excellent but can be very tricky, so the advice of the caddie can save a lot of embarrassment. We first played here 2 years ago, and we were not disappointed on our return. We stayed 3 nights and played 2 rounds of golf with the help of very helpful caddies. Our room was lovely with a very good balcony and great mountain views. The meals in the restaurant were very good and we found all the staff both friendly and helpful. Overall a most enjoyable experience and great value. We very much hope to return.

Very, very good experience! This is the first time I can’t help but take this review seriously. It’s the first time I stayed in a hotel and I want to have the opportunity to stay again. The environment is great, as if I’m in a fairy tale world, even all the waiters are dressed like Nordic fairy tales The little cutie who walks out of it looks good at 360 degrees without dead ends. It looks good if you stand anywhere! There are not many varieties of breakfast, but everything is delicious, very quiet and very suitable for vacation. We stayed in two types of rooms, one with a pool and one without a pool. Both room types are great. The small cafe in the hotel is also very cute and the coffee is quite good. The beach is opposite. The beach is my favorite sunset beach. The scenery is invincible at sunset. There are many local specialty snack stalls on the roadside of the hotel. They are all local indigenous people and super cute locals. Basically they can't speak English, but even the communication with sign language is very interesting. The location is a bit off. There are no convenience stores nearby. We drove there by ourselves. Basically, we can get 711 by car for more than 10 minutes. A very quiet place, very, very recommended!

We stopped here for one night with a group of friends on the way to one of the local islands. On the positive side, service was excellent. There is lots of parking. The resort has a very large pool and fitness center. The gardens are beautiful. The decor is of an older, classic style but the property is clean and nicely maintained. They have some special function rooms for large gatherings but we did not see inside them. Our standard room was spacious and clean with a wood floor and a lovely large balcony overlooking the gardens. A large couch and coffee table faced the TV, and there was a work desk and lounging chair situated near the balcony sliding doors. The king bed mattrass was hard as is the rule in Asia. There was an in-room coffee-maker and fridge. Air con worked well and there was an extra large portable floor fan which was handy so that you did not need to have air con on alll the time. Bathroom was quite small but the shower was spacious and had great pressure. Our dinner experience in the in-house restaurant was excellent - menu is extensive, food was delivered quickly and it was very tasty. I appreciated the great vegetarian menu and found the noodle wrapped herb rolls with green sauce particularly tasty. There was a large bar separate from the restaurant but we did not try it. On the negative side, internet was extremely slow and spotty - which made staying in touch with work difficult for us. There was no safe in the room. There are no elevators and this makes it a challenge to get to your room if you are on the second or third floor. Thankfully it was not very busy and the bell staff took care of moving our luggage to the room quickly. In general there are a lot of stairs to navigate so if one is older or has limited mobility this can be a problem. Breakfast was free but it was cold and unappetizing. This could have been due to a power outage that hit the area due a bad thunderstorm, but still, they should not be serving cold food that should be hot. All in all it was still a pleasant stay. But the internet was the dealbreaker for us - if they fix it, we would consider staying here again.

My friends and I visited Baan Rim Ao Resort in August 2019. Baan Rim Ao Resort is a bayside resort located near the Gulf of Thailand and many tourist attractions in Chanthaburi like Old Town Chantaboon Waterfront and The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. For the transportation to the resort, since my friends and I couldn't drive. We took a public transportation to Chanthaburi Bus Terminal. Then, we asked the resort to come pick us up. When we arrived at the resort, we were stunned by the beautiful scenery and the beautiful decoration. Moreover, the sound of the waterfall near the reception made us feel relaxed and so ready for a vacation that we longed for. The hotel's decoration is very simple but stunning. The wall has the quote about vacation painted on it, for example, 'travel more, worry less'. The room was amazing as well. The resort provided everything you wanted such as the fridge, the hairdryer, some snacks, some bottle of water, and television. The bathroom is very clean and quite big as well. The scenery from the room is stunning. We can see the pond of water lilies and the resort's garden which made us feel very relaxed and close to the nature and the swimming pool. The garden has so many place to take a picture and since it is near the bay, it is very windy too! But again, stunning view. The food is quite nice since the resort also has a restaurant called Bang Manao within the resort. Our first dinner there was remarkable. Breakfast was also provided. The resort had variety of food from sticky rice with a grilled pork to a cereal and a salad. Everything was yummy too, impressive! The resort also provided Wi-Fi to the guests. For us, the internet connection was quite good and we didn't have any problem using it. They also had bicycle rental service for the guests who wants to ride a bicycle around the area. We rode a bicycle to King Taksin The Great Shipyard which located very near the resort. Apart from that, thing that impressed us the most was the resort's staffs. The resort's staffs were very nice and friendly to us. We had a nice chat with P'Amm who was at the reception. The other staffs were friendly as well. They took care of us when we asked for a bicycle and since we couldn't drive, they drove us to the tourist attraction that we wanted to go before we went back to Bangkok. I would like to say again that they took care of the guests very well and you won't be disappointed. All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable trip that I had. Even though the resort located a bit far from the city, it was quiet and peaceful and worth every penny. Nice decoration, nice food, and the staffs were very nice too! If you want a nice and peaceful experience when you visit Chanthaburi, Baan Rim Ao resort is a place for you!

The bedroom is very spacious. There are many power sockets, maybe the head of the bed, the counter under the TV. The bathroom is spacious, clean, strong water, divided into dry zones, good wet zone, a lot of space to put things. Breakfast has a lot to choose from, delicious, especially the Liang pork noodle. Don't miss it 😆😆😆 Dinner is a la carte, it should be ordered in advance, delicious, large quantity, the price may be a bit more expensive than outside. Swimming pool, good view, good morning weather, come out to play in the water, very chill.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights from December 30th. Positives first, we had a pool access room which was great, the pool was very good and the resort generally good. Nice beach which they appear to clean which should be mandatory for all beach hotels, but so few actually do. The negatives are all food, beverage and service related. Breakfast generally was very poor, my omelette on the first day was cooked by a girl who was clearly being taught on the job, it was awful. On NY day we received a call in the room saying breakfast was extended from 9.30 until 10 am, we got there at 9.35 and both the Omelette station (yes i was prepared to try again) and Fried Egg stations were closed so we could not get either. I was offered 2 fried eggs both of which were stone cold. On our first night i bought their last bottle of a particularly good Red wine (THB2100) we wanted on NY Eve to go with a Steak we had seen on the menu. On NY Eve at 7.30 pm the wine came to the table to breath and we shortly afterwards tried to order, Starting with the Steak, this was sold out, we then tried to order 4 other items which would go with the wine, non of which they had. We ended up with a Chicken dish which neither paired well with the wine or tasted nice. Whilst there were some senior staff, many were no more than children, and whilst polite, they had no idea of service. Trying to order a vodka and Coke was a particularly interesting experience. No Gin and Tonic and only 2 Beers to choose from. I place no blame on the young staff, the blame is entirely aimed at the management and whoever is responsible for teaching them, or not in this case. Yes it was New Year and yes it was busy but that is no excuse whatsoever, this wasn't the first NY Eve the resort has had. To add insult to injury on checkout they charged me THB 120 for a glass they say was missing from the room. We never used the glasses the entire stay, so it was clearly missing to start with, i had no appetite to argue so just paid it and left. So many good hotel restaurants along this beach such as Taosong Beach, so will not be visiting here again.

A little short on upkeep for this property. Stayed one night after the long drive from Bangkok. In the morning the entire front desk staff said we had a flat tire. They immediately called a repair shop and told us the fix would be 600 Baht!. The truck came immediately and returned with the repaired tire. Apparently this is an outrageous price and we got suspicious. We asked the staff nonchalantly if this happened often and some blurted out “yes”. We were scammed.

Great location, beautiful and clean hotel. After a long day visiting the city and surrounding areas it's an oasis. Simple but delicious breakfast. The staff don't speak much engbit they are friendly and helpful. Quite for a good night sleep. Near main attraction, markets, church, water front old Town, walking distance front bus station from and to koh Chang or Bangkok.

The hotel is in a good location, very close to the city center, and convenient for visiting attractions. It also comes with breakfast. It is cost-effective and suitable for family travel and business trips, especially during the peak fruit season.

If you want a Holiday Inn experience, this hotel may not work! If you want a traditional Thailand experience, this is the best place. The rooms are air-conditioned, beds are made every day, pillows are great, washroom and shower are outside but privately enclosed. It's very important to have shaded areas to recline and enjoy the ocean view. Many hotels lack shade, but Chivaree is great. The pool is ocean front, the beach is beyond excellent. Restaurant has the best cook on Chao Lao. Breakfasts are excellent but don't expect European sausages! Staff are kind and very accommodating. I will only stay at Chivaree and return yearly, sometimes for a month or more.

Spacious, comfortable, there are options for both rooms and bungalows as you like. The price depends on accommodation, good service, polite staff, delicious food, can stay from couples to seminars. In front of the accommodation there is a shrine of King Taksin to pay homage to the prosperity. As for the way to ask Aigu
