Mae Yao Vacations from $1,186

This hotel is a bit away from the busy city center. There were not much within walking distance. But it is quiet and well-equiped, and it was not far from the only major shopping mall. There was a nice swimming pool, fitness center, and a nice guest lounge with cafe and snacks. The breakfast was wonderful with many choices and the rooms were large.

The staff and stay was fantastic! The elephants seemed a bit bored and it felt like they needed more time spent or less…I’m not sure. For the price the stay and space was exquisite. I’m not sure what to feel about the elephants and the treatment of them.

A really nice property. It's showing its age a bit but still a nice 5 star property. Room was large and has all the expected amenities, breakfast was great and parking is super easy. Only negatives are that checkin wasn't very friendly which seemed strange, but not a big deal, and the little things aren't quite up to a true 5 star resort, e.g. towels are a bit thread bear, gym has old equipment, small 32"(ish) tv, etc. But at the price we paid, it's excellent and exceeded expectations. I would happily stay here again without complaint.

Great place, I would have paid double for my room !!!!!

This was an amazing hotel. We felt like we were island princesses among the flora and fauna. Every single view from this hotel looks like a National Geographic cover. The staff was also amazing. We went during low season and got a free upgrade to the white room with the pool which was amazing. They also automatically moved our checkin to a later time. The service was great and they were super helpful with organizing day trips and drivers. 10/10 recommend
