Beautiful resort, some room for improvement
The resort is really beautiful, the gardens around it amazing and really well kept and the staff is super lovely. There are two beautiful pool areas and the bungalows are amazing, clean, spacious and well equipped. Be aware that the resort is very remote, so if you don't have your own mode of transport, you rely on the tours that the hotel offers and obviously the prices are a little higher with no competition. There isn't much within walking distance to explore.
There is some room for improvement in the kitchen- the food is hit and miss and a bit bland compared how well you normally eat from any street stall in Thailand. At the breakfast buffet there is only filter coffee and black tea, it would be nice to have some variety there.
There is a sign in the room that they are eco friendly and to please hanf up the towels if they don't need to be changed. The staff however is not trained/aware of this and changes out all towels every day, even if everything is neatly hanging.

Sometimes you go to a place that is good for the soul. This is River Kwai Resotel. It is so relaxing and refreshing to be there. The environment is serene, the food is great and the staff are so warming and accomdating. I rarely leave reviews, but felt compelled to leave one for this property. It's a 10 out of 10 from me and my family.

A hidden oasis of beauty and calmness. The rooms are very well appointed. We chose to drive all the way to the property and had already read reviews about the track leading to the resort...it is not a track, it's a perfectly comfortable road with stunning scenery, so please don't be put off driving there. The views of the river were wonderful, calming and serene. This really is a wonderful resort and one that we will return happily to.

I liked everything about this property... the setting was lush jungle, but beautifully manicured to be inviting without being overwhelming. And of course, set on the banks of the Khwae Noi River, a tributary to the famous River Kwai (Khwae Yai). The staff provided outstanding service and help.. I couldn't have asked for more.

A very beautiful and peaceful resort. The room was big and clean. I liked that the resort is located on a green territory, it felt like living in a park. It was pleasant to walk around and meditate. It is a great escape from big city life.
The only downside was the regular noise from the long tail boats that depart from the resort pier from very early in the morning. Also, the staff uses walkie talkies as they clean the rooms and roam around the terrotory and I found that noise somewhat disturbing.

Property restaurant is ok, but the service was horrible. Ordered a bottle of white wine- no ice bucket came, ordered 3 cokes and a water which never came until we got them ourself. Had to get back up for glasses, wrong dishes came out after 45min to an hour. Others had came and gone and we didn’t even have our food. One dish came, but with no plates or silverware. It took 10 more minutes to get that, then we had one cold dish. Overall property is nice. The ONLY restaurant available has horrible service.

Glimrende omgivelser
Det er fjerde gang vi besøger stedet, en rigtig flot opgradering af værelserne gør det absolut til høj kvalitet. Eneste anke er som de fleste stedet i Thailand, det manglende personale undervisning. Dårlig Engelsk og meget indadvend
Everything was excellent, very nice tropical resort.
Friendly staff and restaurant. My only issue was there were no other restaurants or shops near the hotel. Plus the beer and food was expensive compared to thai prices.
