Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Ratilanna Riverside Spa Resort was quite enjoyable overall. The ambiance was soothing, and the Lanna-style design truly captured the essence of local culture. However, I did experience some noise disturbances from a wedding party which was quite bothersome. The dining options were decent, but I felt they could offer more variety, especially at breakfast.
My stay at Ratilanna Riverside Spa Resort was mostly wonderful. The staff were really good and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. However, the location is a bit removed from the city center, which necessitated using Grab for outings. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would love to repeat.
My stay at Ratilanna Riverside Spa Resort was nothing short of fantastic. The beautiful landscape and serene environment immediately made me feel relaxed, though it is a bit out of the city center (which I found manageable with Grab taxis). I thoroughly enjoyed the spa services and the spacious, well-appointed room, although the dining options could have been elevated a bit.
I had a pretty good stay at Ratilanna Riverside Spa Resort. The beautiful pool and serene riverside vibe really made it enjoyable. However, some aspects, like the uninspiring breakfast and a few slow service experiences, held it back from being great.
My stay at Ratilanna Riverside Spa Resort was mostly amazing with its beautiful setting by the river and luxurious amenities. The staff's friendliness and willingness to help made my experience even better. However, I did find some aspects a bit pricey, and I wished there were more sun loungers available by the pool for relaxation. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, and I would definitely recommend it.
