Scenic Hotels in Phanom

"The room was clean and the service was very nice. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the very low water pressure in the shower. But that was really the only issue. There was a beautiful view of the limestone mountains, and the location allowed us to reach everything on foot."

"I liked everything except the food in the restaurant—it was expensive and tasteless. The location is fantastic, the villas are also luxurious, thoughtfully designed down to the last detail, with a fantastic bed and mattress and cloud-soft bedding. The room has everything, even a coffee machine and a humidifier."

"The hotel is located in a very beautiful spot, and the view from the hotel grounds is simply stunning. It's perfect for a one-day stop, but no more. The room is a small, detached bungalow with its own separate entrance. I didn't like the bed; the mattress was old and the springs were terrible. There weren't enough towels, in my opinion, only two. The prices at the on-site cafe are high, but that's understandable given that there's absolutely nothing else around for a 20-30 minute drive – no shops or cafes. So, it's acceptable for a short stay. Otherwise, everything was fine!"

"We were pleased with our choice of this lodge, despite a few issues. We spent three nights there. There are duplex and single cabins, but we had a separate cabin. The cabin was clean and smelled pleasant. The plumbing was generally in good working order, with good water pressure and hot water from a tankless water heater. Shower gel, shampoo, and soap were provided. The air conditioner worked well and had a remote control, although the mosquito nets kept slipping off their tracks when opening and closing them. A hairdryer is available at reception. Cleaning (trash removal) is daily, and the water is replenished. The concept of the hotel is interesting, they offer different programs (trekking of different duration, Cheow Lan Lake, night (or rather evening) hikes in the jungle, caves and so on. The prices for activities are not cheap, we went on a night walk in Khao Sok (2800 baht for two) - interesting, we saw a lot of insects, amphibians, monkeys, birds - everyone was sleeping. Prices for other programs for adults per person from 2 pax: lake from 2600 to 3900, elephants 1600, rafts 800, dinner in the jungle (in fact, on the territory of the lodge) 1200, trekking programs from 1900 to 3300 depending on the duration, night hikes 1900 Khao Sok and 1500 Khlog Phanom, caves 3300. Within walking distance from the hotel for an independent visit there is rafting on bamboo rafts (we paid 700 for two), a cave (20 baht per person + fish food included), and the Instagrammable Bridge Hill Cafe. The hotel has its own small trekking trail. Meals: breakfasts are okay; they prepare what you choose from the menu (one dish), the rest is bread, jam, butter, cereal, fruit, tea and coffee are freely available, including loose-leaf green tea and coffee from a coffee machine. I didn't really like the food in the restaurant; it was too simple and not particularly tasty, and it didn't match the wine cabinet with bottles costing several thousand baht. Lunches and dinners were generally disappointing, but inexpensive. But the view from the restaurant during breakfast is simply gorgeous!!! In the morning, you can watch squirrels scurry and listen to the songs of gibbons in the forest from the lodge balcony. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. Overall, I liked the lodge; it's a great location for exploring the area, especially if you have transportation."

"What an absolutely amazing accommodation! The scenery that surrounds the place is breathtaking and really gives you the feeling of being away from the world. The staff are so kind and attentive, nothing was ever too much for them (even sorting getting our bags to us when we had last minute changes to travel plans). They also helped us arrange some tours and travel arrangements easily, which really helped us unwind after a long journey to the accommodation. Having a breakfast watching the monkeys swing from the treetops really made the stay that extra bit special, plus the food was delicious! Rooms had a lovely rustic feeling with everything you’d need for a comfortable couple of days (or longer). As a heads up the beds are firm but I didn’t mind at all! Highly recommend to anyone for a unique experience which really captivates Khao Sok as soon as you get there."

"This hotel is set in a beautiful natural environment, on a limestone cliff with a lake. It felt like being in a jungle, which was lovely. The welcome was good, with butterfly tea and clear explanations. However, it's quite isolated, facing a departmental road far from the city. They offer a taxi service, but it's too expensive. This means the only accessible dining option is the hotel's own restaurant, which is a major drawback: - The service is poor: twice, we had to go and get the menus ourselves. - The staff seemed disengaged and were all on their phones. - The restaurant closes at 8 PM, which is quite astounding. On our second night, we arrived at 7:50 PM, right after a group of 20 people, and were told only fried rice dishes were available because we arrived too late… we clearly have different definitions of 'late'. Imagine if we had gone on a night safari excursion, or checked in at 9 PM – we wouldn't have been able to eat, which is a real problem. - Once ordered, the dishes didn't arrive together. My girlfriend had almost finished her meal by the time mine was served (two fried rice and chicken dishes, by the way). Additionally, we couldn't find a hairdryer, and there was another issue: the room was poorly soundproofed; you could hear everyone as if they were right inside our room."

"We stayed here for two nights while exploring Khao Sok. We were greeted when we arrived at the hotel, and as soon as we finished the reception, we were shown to our room and brought afternoon tea. The staff had lovely smiles, and Mei-san was especially kind to us. The pandan leaf craftwork was also a very valuable experience. The restaurant on the premises was also very delicious, and we had Panang curry. There were few types of breakfast, but it was enough for us. The coconut jelly and banana pancakes were especially delicious, and the fruit was fresh. This hotel is very good overall in terms of the rooms, food, service, view, and location. If I come to Khao Sok again, I will stay here. The staff were kind to me. I will come back. Thank you"

"The staff are very nice, smiling, paying respects, greeting, asking all the time. Clean rooms, new, quiet atmosphere, safe. good weather,suitable for relaxation Another impressive thing is that the breakfast is very full, although it comes as a set, but it's very full. Looks intended to make a lot of food, very impressed, have a chance to come to rest again."

"Yes in general, a good place to stay on the road. The facilities are all there, took the room with the air conditioner. The cafe works until 7:00 and then nobody is there, it is better you stay early. From the downsides, the room is very humid and if you come in the evening hungry and you will not have time to eat in the cafe - to the nearest 7/11 15 minutes on the car. Near the road take the berush necessarily if a sensitive sleep. In the morning, breakfast was brought, a good place, if not strictly judged."

"We absolutely loved the Annrin Cafe & Resort. It was simply wonderful to stay there. We had an incredibly beautiful view of the mountains right from our bedroom. The accommodation was also exceptionally well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The staff deserves special mention; they gave us an incredibly warm welcome and provided us with invaluable and attentive support in every situation – from planning our tours to handling any other requests. The food was simply outstanding. The entire, very peaceful resort is a beautiful place to relax and soak up the atmosphere. I highly recommend this resort and would definitely return."
