NAN Seasons Boutique Resort

Alot of mosquitoes and bugs. Other than that amenities was as listed! Super friendly frontdesk

Would i stay again? Absolutely! Pros Bicycle provided to enjoy the nearby rice fields, local country lanes - you can even ride into town to enjoy the river, museums, restaurants and many temples. I really enjoyed a few hours out on the bicycle, even though it was old and rusty. The food menu is good, lots of seafood options but other options too, from western to local. The food is high quality, although the ribs maybe had too much overpowering layers of flavours. The restaurant is a very chill vibe, high quality furniture and decoration but with reasonable prices. Loads of drink options, from cocktails to beer, a huge selection of wines etc. Very impressive bar. No toothbrush/toothpaste but good quality gels, shampoo, lotion provided. If you don't pay extra for breakfast, complimentary toast with some homemade jams and a coffee are still provided. The resort organised motorbike rental (its always best to go through the resort/hotel in Thailand). 450 a day which is probably the most I've paid, however I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of days touring the local area, travelling south to Sao Din Na Noi and in the north, Doi Phu Kha National Park. Incredible trip, stunning scenery. Highly recommended. The owners are always there if you need them, either to have a chat or answer questions. Staff were very friendly with good English. Someone said in a review that the rooms were old with dim lights - this is completely untrue. The rooms are beautifully decorated in traditional Thai style but at the same time feel new. The balcony of some rooms have stunning rice field and mountain views but if you don't have that, walk a few metres to the fields with lots of seating to enjoy the views. The gardens around the rooms are well taken care of. Trips can be booked through the hotel. Bottled water provided in room (complimentary) with a well-stocked mini bar if you want extra drinks or snacks (charged but no price list seemed to be there). Cons There is no safe for passport, cash etc in room No kettle in room even though coffee, sugar was there 😅 but if you pay to upgrade or booked the mountain view room, there will be a coffee machine There is no mosquito repellant by pool, in the restaurant or in rooms - possibly because they are usually burning or flammable liquid which wouldn't go well with a resort made entirely of wood! Some electric options maybe? Can hear motorbikes/cars occasionally on the nearby road and almost a constant sound carried across the rice fields from the distant main road. However, this is Thailand and i'm not sure this can be avoided, anywhere. As with most hotels, the light switch situation is unnecessarily overcomplicated. The restaurant charges for ice buckets and bottled water is almost poured without specifically asking, and is charged.

We first came to this resort and ate at the restaurant, I gave it a five out of five, the food was excellent, so three days later we came back to stay, and I have to say we were disappointed, the owner Roger is very friendly, but we were made some promises that were not fulfilled, I told him repeatedly that we were vegetarian, and we didn’t like a lot of sugar in our food, we got sugar in the yogurt, sugar in the granola, and sugar in the food all the time, sauces and flavouring was all heavily loaded with sugar, I ordered 2 different shrimp dishes (thinking there wouldn’t be any sugar in it), the glaze on top of the shrimp was loaded with sugar, Roger’s response was Thai’s eat a lot of sugar, I’m sorry that’s not good enough for me, when I was very clear in the beginning that we wanted to avoid massive amounts of sugar. Staff encouraged us to get a Thai massage, they told us it was 400 bat, so we went ahead and booked the massage, for my wife and I, we wanted a Thai massage, not an oil massage, we ended up with an oil massage even though that’s not what we wanted, then on our bill appeared 600 baht, not 400 baht, to be fair to Roger, we complained and he immediately charged us the agreed price of 400 baht, but we should not have had to bring this up at all, when we were in Nan city we were charged 150 baht for a one hour massage, it was fantastic, our 400 baht massage was a big disappointment, we also found the food to be disappointing, the portions are very small and overpriced for Thailand, The second day before we left, we were looking for Roger, we couldn’t find him anywhere, we asked the staff, and they said he was away, that evening we asked again where Roger was, and we finally found out that he had gone for two weeks or do for a vacation down south, he never said a word to us, we found that very strange, although the staff was very friendly, it didn’t seem the same without the owner there, we found it strange that he didn’t say goodbye, or he was going away, and thanks for coming to stay with us, etc. etc., kind of odd behaviour, The room was fantastic, we loved the views of the valley, no complaints there at all, They provided very warm blankets on top, because it’s very cold in Nan city at this time of the year, it went down to 8+ Celsius, but we were very warm, not one English channel on the TV, we are staying in another area, and we had 2 English channels, when you are on vacation it’s really nice to keep up with the news, especially with the Contra virus thing going on,not sure why there’s no English channels, when most of the guests, if not all are English speaking
