Tucked away Paradise!”
We loved every minute over at 500 Rai. The staff was very friendly and attentive, the room views were to die for and the local food was very tasty. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

worth it!”
Back to basic experience, without wifi or tv. Had fun time with unlimited lake access and kayaking surrounded with clean freah air. The most important tips here is, please ask the staff time guidelines before coming here eg, what time to gather at their office etc. If u abide with the guidelines, there will be smooth journey. Thumbs up!

Unlimited kayaking and lake access”
The staffs were very helpful, from the management to the cleaners. Considering its location 1hpur from the pier, the room is comfortable enough to stay for few days. To make your experience better, ask for their help whenever u need it before coming and when u are staying there.

Unreasonably expensive ”
The only thing worth about this place is the view and location. We paid the price same as other luxury 5 stars hotels but the room here is definitely not 5 stars quality and in need of major renovation.

Not worth for this price”
We booked Villa 2 nights. We paid a lot but there were not including lunch and dinner which normally who paid much cheaper they got lunch and dinner inclusive. Room feature is way too normal for this price and the foods and drinks there were very expensive. We tried to negotiate with front office there about our lunch and dinner but they couldn't help. In Bathroom in Villa the shower was defect. Btw guest needs to pay for the boat transfer to go to the Resort by them self.

Romantic Couple”
Honeymooners be aware! Its just a good name for a horrible old and primitive place with a bed impossible to sleep and NO INTERNET AT ALL IN all the Estate. 1.500bht per day satelite www very slow. Only one Stuff speaks english but she is not always there. Thai customers have priorities in all things. Foreign customers are 2nd class. Cheapest bottle of wine 1.900bht - same in the shop 490bht. If You need to go to the main building the boat needs 35 to pick you up. We booked and paid for 2 days and left after 1 night early morning. Do not make our mistake to go there - it looks only on the photos nice…

Awesome resort, confusing to get there.”
We were not informed how to get to this resort. You have to check in at an office in the nearby town, then take the taxi to the Pier (at the dam) * where there is NO ATM*. Have to buy a boat ticket to the resort (to and from)! And have to pay a park fee *CASH ONLY*. and the Resort is also CASH ONLY. So we had to get another taxi to go to an ATM. They say Air Conditioning is in every room, which it is, BUT ONLY FROM 7pm to 6am! Beautiful resort, friendly staff, amazing mountains, awesome kayaking. Would not stay here longer than 2 days in the hot summer.

Very nice view and nice accommodaton”
Amazing location, and amazing view. We've had a lovely time there. Staffs were very friendly. A bit hot during the day and afternoon. They started to provide air-con from 7 pm. But you can soak yourself into the water if you don't mind of getting very tan, and a fan in-room provided. The down side of this place is the transfer. It's very expensive. They don't provide you a long-tail boat with this price, which you have to book extra 4,500 baht and its not always available. So you have to get from a local. The menu very limited, if you don't buy the buffet. Only many choices on the menu, but not in reality .

Nice resort & location but very poor communication and staff”
Overall the resort is nice but it could be much better. Tried to contact the resort 4 months before arriving to book a private boat, after some reply they then disappeared. Contacted back 2 weeks before & different person replied but again stopped replying. I then had to call them the day before to confirm I had a boat which they said they would contact me back, which they didn’t. Arrived on the day and they booked the boat for us and told us to wait at a designated waiting area near the boats and that they would ring at 11:15. Surprise surprise I didn’t receive a phone call by 11:30 and had to go and find the driver myself!!! Once arrived everything was fine. Evening meal wasn’t great. I had finished my meal by the time my boyfriend had received his. When asked why that was the staff just simply said ‘don’t know’. Seemed like the staff were all young with little experience and needed some leadership and guidance as they were nice enough. Overall was average and won’t be going back

Absolutely not worth it!”
I don't have any memory of ever posting any negative feed back even though my experiences where not that good. Only here i would like to inform that this resort is far far from being worth the money you will spend. No service, no organization from their office (in land) to their resort on the lake (took us 3h from the time we arrive in the office to the resort), You also must pay 5500THB to access the resort and it was not even able to arrive on time to pick us up. You can only get food from 6PM to 8PM... The first bungalow we've been given was not in good conditions and towels with holes in it... We paid 18000THB for one night not including the boat and i had to show pictures to the staff before they decide to upgrade us to a slightly better bungalow. I could keep going longer but the main point is, you will get the same view to a cheaper resort more authentic like i stayed 2years ago and 4 times cheaper. Not worth it...

We love it!”
This place it's very remote. The only regret is we can't go to the Tam Talu Cave. We will be back next time.

There is not signal, WiFi, etc and be careful of extra boat charge”
Stayed here with all inclusive. Did one 2 tours out of 3 days staying here, Food was the same everyday. No food menu, no mini bar, no one to take care. It a complete waste of money and even complaining to management about something your right about is wrong to them and they are always right. Avoid and find another place there. Waste of money for sure

Be Aware before Booking ”
We reserve non refundable rooms with known that hotel location near The shore of Lake, In real there is only one pier which is far about one or one half hour By long-tail boat which is not mansion in Booking page also the cost of the boat trip it’s overpriced. According to that we ask to refund the 2 rooms we’ve booked unfortunately hotel refund only one rooms, the other room for 3 nights not refundable even that hotels know that information not full details. Avoiding or know all before book

Poor ”
We booked the honey moon suit which was around £700 a night fand we booked 2 nights, i would of been disappointed if I paid £50 a night the pool was full of dirt, the shower had mould the best sheets had dead insects and the curtains had stain on them and we wasn’t provided with any towels to shower, within 1 hour of arriving we wanted to leave but we couldn’t due to boats not operating after a certain time, we left the next morning on the first boat out, all in the trip cost us £1,600 and was a total waste of time would not recommend.

Exceptional”
The staff is very polite and professional. The location is nice, you can jump in the water just from your terrace. Free canoe. Nice breakfast. Be prepared for digital detox, since you have only 30 min free wi-fi per person a day. But this is advantage rather than drawback.🙂 However I wish free transfer from the pier and back included in this price. You’ll have to pay extra 4000 batt for private boat to get to the hotel, which includes 2 trips across the lake. Standard price for Khao Sok trips, by the way. And bathroom facilities have to be renovated. Nevertheless, great experience. Thank you!

Perfection….at a price!”
The location and views are simply stunning. The 1 hour fast boat journey gives you a good flavour of the scenery and the remoteness of the resort. The rafts are spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable with your own kayak on the lake outside to explore the surrounding area. Simply but comfortably furnished to reflect the remoteness. The à la carte lunch and dinner were delicious from a reasonable selection of Thai food served in a beautiful restaurant. The inclusive breakfast was more simple and slightly disappointing with no fruit or muesli just toast and an omelette unless you went for the Thai option. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful as you would expect. However, all of this comes at a price which is high even by western standards and eye wateringly high in comparison with Thai prices. It is a unique and beautiful location and great for a special occasion but wait for the special offers!
