Kalanan Riverside Resort

The staff made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request was met with genuine warmth and care. It’s clear that the team takes great pride in making every guest’s experience special. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming getaway.

Loved staying here! It's such a beautiful resort and the staff looked after us very well. We took a ferry from Saphan Taksin on a Friday, late afternoon (FYI, it's the green flag that only runs Monday to Friday), then it was a short taxi ride from Pak Kret pier to the resort. A winding driveway took us past tropical plants, trees and a fountain – it was a wonderful first impression. The Colonnial-style building is enchanced further by a selection of attractive Thai artworks – someone clearly put a great deal of thought into choosing them. Our room had a balcony overlooking one of two pools and the river. (It would've been better still without the gym blocking the view a little, but no biggie!) We were lucky enough to arrive during sunset. Unusually for hotels, the mini bar was reasonably priced, so we enjoyed a cold beer (80 THB) on arrival. Perfect! The room was comfortable and spacious, with wooden details – it had much more character than that of a modern hotel room. We loved the four-poster bed and top-quality linen. Breakfast was delicious, with a great choice, good coffee and proper fruit juice. We sat outside, looking out towards the river, which added to the overall experience. We took the hotel's boat to Koh Kret the next day, which was very convenient, then hired bikes to explore the island. Well worth doing. On our last morning, we swam in a pool flanked on all sides by hotel rooms, but open to the sky. It's so beautiful there! The pool is set in a tropical garden with mature trees reaching beyond the roof. The smoothie menu at the bar sounded good. I thoroughly recommend this place!

This resort was absolutely wonderful! The rooms hold so much beautiful character with a deck overlooking the river. The staff are so friendly and we had a great dining experience with excellent food! The breakfast buffet was amazing as well, offering different dishes each morning with a plethora of options to choose from including a fresh fruit and salad bar. The resort itself holds so much beauty with artwork hanging from every wall. The two pools were so refreshing with the upstairs being salt, the bottom one offering a wonderful nature experience with beautiful trees and climbing plants. We were blessed to experience the Plumerias or frangipani which dropped stunning flowers into the pool making it so magical. The services are wonderful including the Spa where we experienced a very healing massage from Gyson, forgive me if i misspelled her name but she was so wonderful. We also had an amazing waiter Sprite who was attentive to our needs. The drinks were delicious and crafted by Nony. This place is very laid back and offers a quiet atmosphere. We were very pleased with our stay, and will be back :)
