Lanna Resort, Hangdong
Lanna Resort is conveniently situated, not too far from Chiang Mai. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains, by a river, the gardens are lovely. Staff were very nice, food excellent. Very quiet (except for some night parties nearby!). The houses were pleasant, clean. We would have loved to have a kettle to make some coffee in the morning as we tend to wake up early, and breakfast isn t before 7am. We would have liked some drinks in the fridge apart from the two bottles of water. And the shower could be slightly more modern. But apart from this, it s great!

Room clean and well-equiped, gardens lovely. The resort is out of town in a peaceful area. Not the place to stay if you want the city experience, but it was perfect for a restful night prior to flying from Chiang Mai.
All our bookings were in order and services delivered as promised.

The hotel settings are beautiful and the atmosphere relaxing. Either than that, nothing much to do. Prices are slightly elevated and the food is far from exceptionnal.
Excellent service!

The hotel grounds are beautiful and well-tended. What a pity the same care is not given to the maintenance of the rooms!
The room was spacious, but very run-down. They have a major problem with subsidence in the buildings near the river - the living room and bathroom both sloped towards the bathroom. There were large cracks in the floors. The electrical wiring in the bedroom was dangerous. The overhead light and the bedside light flickered on and off when you walked across the floor.
The restaurant served a good breakfast and dinners, but you had to put your order in by 8 p.m, as the kitchen closed at 9 p.m. There is no alternative eating facility in the vicinity.
If you do not have your own car, transport is a problem. The resort is about 40 minutes away from Chiang Mai town, and no transport is provided by the resort. Chiang Mai taxis are reluctant to go there, as there is little prospect of them picking up a return fare.
There is a small shop in the village nearby, but access to the village is currently impeded by the building of a dam/weir - you have to climb over the earthworks.
Staff were helpful.
Even though we had paid for 8 nights stay, we left after 4 nights, as we found the lack of transport too inconvenient.
Adequate and safe.

Beautiful, open-feeling setting with picturesque trees, well-maintained lanna style huts, large pool (where I was the ONLY swimmer) all with a backdrop of lush, green hills. Shot nearly an entire roll of film just on the surroundings. Large bedroom with adjoining living area/tv, linked by a bathroom with tub/shower. Pleasant, accommodating staff. Large selection in covered but open-air restaurant with reasonable prices. A definite winner on the valley loop.
Very responsive to my inquiries. Timely turnaround. Would definitely use again.

This resort is well out of town and does not offer the free airport and town transfer as indicated on the internet site.
If you do not have your own transport it will cost you 3500 Bt transfer each way or 1500 Bt for a vehicle for the whole day.
There is little activity at the resort itself. The staff is friendly and the restaurant OK.
Good

The North is different. So is Lanna Resort. But the Service is typical Thai: very, very good. The Garden at the Resort is so beautiful with all the flowers. As it was `Winter` it got a bit chilly at night. Can certainly recommend Lanna Resort. It is a pity that it is about 30km outside Chiang Mai. Otherwise, a very nice place to stay and inexpensive.
SAWADEE is my coice of online booking for Thailand. Would not recommend any other service for good selection of Resorts, Hotels, Services. Good Value for money, easy and safe to book and to pay on line.
