Wonderful stay, highly recommended”

To begin, we are truly baffled as to how anyone could complain about any aspect of this lovely hotel. Our room was less than $40 per night including breakfast, & we would have been equally thrilled about our experience at twice that price. Each room is a separate bungalow, so there's an immediate feeling of privacy. It's almost impossible not to notice the stunning grounds & how carefully they have been densely planted w/ an endless list of tropical flowers/plants/trees like coconut & bird of paradise- it's inspired & gorgeous. The rooms are spacious & very clean, the bed is comfortable, & the separate bathroom is traditionally Thai. That means the shower floor is level with the rest of the bathroom, so any water on the floor travels to a common drain. For those who are confused by this, please keep in mind you chose to travel in a foreign country so you could learn about & appreciate differences in culture. The highlight of this hotel is its attentive service. We were greeted most graciously & the front desk was exceedingly helpful throughout our stay. They took care of our request for a 5 AM pick-up to get driven 2 hours to the border, & because we left too early to return our scooter to the rental shop ourselves, they were kind enough to take the helmets and keys so the scooter shop could pick them up later. At one point during our stay I went to the front steps of the hotel to source a cab/tuk-tuk to a nearby shop, & a gentleman also on the steps asked where I was headed. He then offered me a free ride in his truck. Final caveat: the breakfast buffet is one of the best we have ever experienced. The number of choices was impressive (far better than any 4/5 star hotel we've ever stayed at in Bangkok), & freshness and quality were first rate as well. This makes starting the day so much easier, we highly recommend you take advantage of this valuable addition. We loved Laluna Hotel and look forward to staying here again when we travel to Chiang Rai.

tropical oasis in the north of Thailand”

This hotel has been one of the highlights of my travels around Asia. Set on a quiet road about 15 minutes walk from the centre of Chiang Rai, the fairly ordinary entrance road does not prepare you for what waits at reception and beyond. Once checked in the friendly staff guide you through a tropical paradise of plants and trees to one of the spacious and well equipped bungalows. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent as this is one of the prices you pay for staying in the centre of so much greenery. Reception staff are friendly and helpful although two of my few criticisms of the resort are that a) Their airport transfer is overpriced by about 200 baht (I booked through the tour place across road) and b) some of their tours are also more expensive than walking across road - plus there do not seem a lot of options for the solo traveller. But these are both small, easily remedied criticisms. The attached restaurant bar provides breakfast in the morning and drinks and meals at night; remember to get your daily 10% discount coupon and remember the 3 for 2 happy hours too. The restaurant have both friendly staff and some amazing food. Try the Kao Soi Gai - a new dish for me and now one of my all time Thai favourites! The breakfast buffet was perhaps the best I have experienced with a wide range of Thai and Western choices. Also easy to get a tuk tuk up to the night market (should be about 50 baht each way) All in all, the LaLuna is a gem in Chiang Rai and is most definitely on the 'must return' list!

Fantastic and relaxing experience”

Laluna was everything promised by the photographs - and more! We loved the environment - lush greenery surrounding the bungalows and the swimming pool. The room itself was immaculate, tastefully decorated and the king-size bed in the bungalows was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. I had great sleeps and also really enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which was open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and was perfect for an early riser like myself. The Wifi connection in the hotel was good, though a bit slow in the buffet breakfast area, but really not a problem. This is indeed a sanctuary, the perfect place for a week-long retreat to recharge one's batteries and re-connect with the good things in life. Chiang Rai is easily accessible and it's only a short hop to the new mall, which is beautiful. On the street outside the hotel is a 7-Eleven and one can buy fresh fruit and vegetables from the vendors at the old Chaing Rai airport runway, a block from the hotel. I will definitely stay here again. And the other guests staying here were so friendly as well. I rate Laluna five big stars. Staff fantastic as well.

excellent resort for chillin' out”

We stayed at Laluna for 5 days. It was approximately 1.5 km walk into town, very straight forward to get to the clock tower and then eateries from there. The hotel was lovely, the pool was very quiet and you had to ask the staff from the reception to switch on the jacuzzi but other than that it was nice and quiet. On the first night we heard "squirrels" (according to other reviews but as we live in Bangkok they do sound very similar to our rats) and they must have been having a party on our roof. We told reception the next day and they had the gardeners come and cut the trees back and we never heard them again so that was excellent - and we never saw a squirrel or a rat the whole time we were there. We used the tour facilities which was excellent. Eddie arranged a tour just for myself and my husband and changed the itinerary to more of what we wanted, and it was great having a tour guide and car all to ourselves, although we probably paid a lot for it compared to booking in town. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were always attentive and there was a great variety of food on offer. 7-11 is 5 mins walk (turn right out of hotel) and there is a great massage place opposite - dont be put off by the old looking shop, as it was much better than the ones opposite the hotel. a tuk tuk from the night market back to the hotel cost 100 baht. If we came to Chiang Rai again we would definitely stay at this hotel again - highly recommended.

Nice resort in the middle of Chiang Rai”

Laluna Hotel and Resort is a pleasant accommodation in the middle of Chiang Rai. The hotel offers interesting tours such a full day kayaking adventure or cycling tours just to name a few. Hotel staff are also very pleasant and friendly. The room is rather clean with basic furniture. Do remember to close your door quickly or a lot of insects will fly in! Hotel offers buffet breakfast with a mix of Western and local food. Not particularly good but sufficient to fill your stomach. There is also a restaurant/bar that offers a good selection of local food. The Thai style fried rice I ordered was simply amazing and definitely value-for-money! Transportation is not a worry as several TukTuks will be parked near the hotel entrance. Do remember to negotiate fees for a better deal. Overall, this was a really good place for a break from bustling Bangkok and I recommend this hotel for anyone.

Our Stay at the Laluna Hotel & Resort, Chiang Rai”

The hotel staff were some of the friendliest and warmest people we met during our vacation in NW Thailand. They made our honeymoon more memorable & took care of tour booking through their partner agency, as well as provided a VERY extensive and tasty breakfast buffet (hot & cold bar) every morning -- a great way to start the day. Our room was cozy, comfortable, & MOST importantly, clean. The hotel was quite accessible to the city center and also secluded enough for a private retreat, amid lush landscaped gardens & peaceful setting. We found a few great pubs with live music (Rock, Indie, & Alternative, both in Thai & English) a stone's throw away from the resort. Aside from the drinks the vegetarian dishes there were truly amazing & worth a try. The hotel restaurant was good too, but we'd recommend getting out in the town & exploring the local tastes of Chiang Rai. My wife and I will return here again for a future stay. Laluna's worthy of genuine referral; thanks!

Wonderful quiet hotel in the middle of Chiang Rai”

This resort is a real find. In Chiang Rai many resorts are located well outside the city. The Laluna is within walking distance to restaurants and even the night market - although it is a good 15 minute walk to the market. We wanted a quiet, relaxing place to stay after many days of activities - this was perfect. It is very family friendly, the breakfast has variety, the bar has a happy hour every night. The pathways between the bungalows are jsut gorgeous. Real value for the money.

One Stay @Chiang Rai”

First time to stay at Laluna and it is a great experience. The staff are nice and welcomed us with a welcome drink. The resort is spacious and walked a quiet distance toward the room. Feels like in a jungle when walking inside the resort and the swimming pool was great. The room is spacious, clean, kinda comfy beds 6-7/10 and the restroom is clean, too. Oh, mosquitoes were many and managed to kill all 🙂. Should spray before guests stay!! Overall, great place to stay at in Chiang Rai 👍🏻

Beautiful garden setting tucked away in the city”

Laluna Resort is located in the city but is away from the main road, so it is very quiet. The cabins are on a garden walkway with many trees, that gives you the feeling of being in a natural setting. The room was beautiful and very modern. We were very pleased. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The TV was big and it had international channels too, which is rare for Chiang Rai. The only problem was that the WIFI signal was too weak to be used in the room.

Great hotel Lanna style set in tropical gardens ”

My 3rd visit to Laluna and it did not disappoint. In fact it seems to get better every time! I would not stay anywhere else in Chiang Rai. Set in delightful tropical gardens filled with exotic flowers, plants, shrubs and trees the rooms are individual bungalows with huge king size + beds, lots of pillows and very comfy mattress;large flat screen TV with many channels; free wi-fi; big bathroom including a powerful hot shower; frig with 2 complimentary bottles of water; all very spacious. The pool is also set in a tropical paradise with loungers all round and large umbrella shades; order drinks from the extensive menu - soft or hard - by poolside phone - delicious! Breakfast is self-serve and very extensive, including hot and cold Western and Thai selections, yoghurt, fruits, cereals, toaster, quality coffee and teas, sandwiches and cakes - should suit anybody! Staff are all very attentive and try to please. Absolute value for money. A bit of a walk in to town but tuk tuks or blue mini buses are always available and cost 60 baht (£1.20)

Lovely hotel and service with a smile”

Nice place, you feel transported to being in the middle of the jungle. Palms, beautiful flowers, etc. Service was 5 stars. My wife became ill and had to vomit in the sink, which made the drain stopped when I asked at reception, came immediately 2 man with tools and cleaned the drain, fine service. Next day when we should have the hotel's superb breakfast buffet, they asked at reception if my wife needed a doctor. Everything was arranged with a smile. If we go to Chiang Rai again, surely it will be Laluna resort

Pleasnt hotel with enjoyable pool.”

Pleasant stay. The hotel is not lavish or enourmous, but a very comfortable stay. Has immaculate room, pool towels at the pool, resturant on site, and a great massage service. My girlfriend said that the massage right outside the hotel was not so good despite the better price. The store across the street has baht Chang beer. The taxi ride to the night market was 60 baht, which is fair. The Night Bazarr had a lot of great food vendor stalls and tables to sit and watch the performers on stage. A very great memory. About paces from Laluna Hotel towards the city is a great Thai resturant as well. Laundry service outside is very reasonable. Lalunas free breakfast was not disappointing.

Resort located in an amazing forest”

Located 15 minutes by foot from the center of Chiang Rai, Laluna placed its bungalows in a forest where you can listen lots of animals before reaching the pool. Breakfast was really good and they have lots of different dishes. Staff was kind and professional. A place where I could stay again if I'll go back in Chiang Rai.

Little paradise ”

For sure this is a little paradise in town A price quality experience in Chiang rai. We viste this resort several times and it stays one of or favourites in town. One problem, everyone knows because it is frequently fully booked. So this review is not in my own Adventists though I must be honest. Notting better in this price range. The rebilding at the moment. The rooms are well maintained, nice pool, superb breakfast, nice and friendly staff. So please book a other hotel so that's it not fully booked as we arrive.😅

Best Deal in Chiang Rai!”

Laluna Resort lived up to the reviews that I read. Good, English speaking staff, nice and clean rooms, well maintained property and pool and great international breakfast buffet included in the price of the hotel. I believe it is the best value for your money in Chiang Rai.

Lovely Laluna”

Laluna is a family friendly, relaxing hotel with excellent facilities and easy access to the centre of Chiang Rai. Hotel staff are more than willing to please, though communication can prove difficult for English speaking guests. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the beds are huge, and the Bar and Restaurant are well worth the visit. I would recommend this hotel.

A Little bit of paradise”

We really enjoyed our stay at Laluna Hotel and Resort. Definitely have breakfast included. It was a buffet of Thai and American food. Nice omelette bar, coffee machine, fruits, breads and Thai dishes. A lot of choices. The bed was a little hard and the pillows too big, but I have found that in all the hotels we have stayed in so far. No clock or safety deposit box in the room and the ones in the office were full. They do provide robes and slippers. It's a short ride to the market and very quiet. The grounds are really beautiful and the staff very helpful. Right at the end of their drive on the right is D D massage. Noi gave us a two hour Thai massage for 300 baht. I would stay here again.

Beautiful gardens”

We stayed at Laluna for a weekend visit to Chiang Rai. It was a great choice. The rooms are all individual chalets, the gardens were so well kept and absolutely glorious. Our check in and out was quick and courteous and we were well located for seeing both Chiang Rai and other features of the area. I would thoroughly recommend it and go there again.

Nice hotel but far from the city centre”

we stayed at laluna for 2 nights while exploring chiang rai. the cottage like rooms were very spacious and comfortable. the staff was willing to help but there was a bit of a language barrier. the breakfast buffet was among the best that we have found for a hotel of it's kind. on the downside, the hotel is located about a 10 minute drive away from the main city centre and night markets. they provide tuk tuk service right from the hotel but it is more than double the cost of what it should be, and it is a little difficult to find tuk tuks outside the hotel, unless you walk awhile. it was raining one night and we decided to stay in and have dinner at the on-site restaurant, however, so did the rest of the guests it seemed. we were informed that they were busy and it could take over an hour to serve us. we opted for in-room dining, and the level of service was left wanting more. food was warm and came to us at two different times. however the food and desserts were well made. a good hotel to stay at, but next time, we would probably stay at a place a little more central.

Excellent Hotel”

Definitely staying here again when visiting Chiang Rai. Laluna is a short taxi/tuk tuk ride from the night market. Nice Pool and excellent staff. Hotel Restaurant and Bar definitely worth a try. Hotel offers in-room massages for a decent price, but we didn't get a chance to try it.
