Family-friendly Hotels in Hang Dong

We absolutely loved our stay at Veranda High Resort Chiang Mai. The hotel is about a 30-min drive from Chiang Mai, nestled into a beautiful countryside with rolling hills. We booked the valley deluxe scenery room on the ground floor, which has a calming view of trees and mountains. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with everything you need; the bed is huge. The infinity pool overlooks a mountain with a white temple (worth a visit!). Food (Western and Thai) is delicious and reasonably priced. But what stood out above everything was how friendly the staff is here. We felt really welcome and well looked after. We'll definitely be back!

We stayed as a couple in November 2022, the hotel, it’s grounds, the rooms and the pool are beautiful. The staff are generally friendly especially the main reception gentleman who was there and always willing to help 24/7. Whilst the hotel was beautiful, there are a few improvements that are needed to allow guests to have a better stay. The breakfast wasn’t great at all and we paid quite a lot extra for this (as the hotel is a 30 minute drive from town). There are two options, a Thai breakfast (minced pork with eggs although we didn’t try this) or an American breakfast. There are no options for fruit, yoghurt or any cereals. The American breakfast shown on the menu doesn’t come as shown and instead comes with frozen vegetables (rather than beans, mushrooms etc). From the second day I just asked for eggs or eggs on toast which we found to be best. The pictures online led us to think there were lots of breakfast options so we paid extra for this but this isn’t the case. We raised this with staff but we’re told the pictures weren’t right. The hotel is quite far out, but we liked this for a peaceful and tranquil stay in between our day trips out. Whilst you can buy water, smoothies and tea & coffee it would have been nicer to have access to water (maybe a water fill up station) tea and coffee all day round the pool. You do have access to two bottles of water in the room each day but this wasn’t really enough if you’re spending the day round the pool. There is a mini market 5 mins away where you can get some supplies from. There is an on-site gym which has enough if you want to workout, the pool area is lovely and everything is decorated really beautifully. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but a better breakfast option at the least needs to be improved given how far away from any other food options the hotel is.

If, like us, you are looking for somewhere to relax after your travels then Sela is absolutely the perfect place to unwind, just 30 mins outside Chiangmai. The building is beautiful and the staff are most welcoming and attentive. The grounds are well maintained and the pool is immaculate, tucked away and with ample shade. Breakfast is varied and plentiful and Windows restaurant, open from midday, offers delicious dishes to suit all tastes. It is perhaps surprising to discover that the property was built very recently as it echos the style and grandeur of yesteryear. I’m certain this beautiful hotel will soon become a go-to destination for anyone wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of Chiangmai for the peace and quiet of the countryside. All in all this property is an absolute gem

We fed chicken, ducks, the one sheep and goats. All of them huddled around us, pleading for food. We felt so popular! We also saw some fireflies blinking against the ink-dark night with the shining crescent moon. Little frogs croaked at the pond and you can even spot some. Of course, there's also the dogs. When you leave, give Nok a hug. Because she deserves one, and also the dog will squeeze in jealously. I regret that I didn't give Al a hug. I would have liked to see if the dog joined in too. It's not just B&B. It's much more than that. If you're an animal lover, this place is a must. Since the Rice Barns were full during our stay, we stayed at the blue and green houses which were just next to each other. They were still lovely to stay in. The beds were soft, and the water pressure was good. They do provide English breakfast and other kinds. A simple Thai restaurant is nearby within five minutes' walk. In addition, there's a free pick-up from a restaurant at a further distance. Just ask Al and Nok. We really enjoyed our stay.

Only about 20 km from central Chiang Mai, you find yourself in an oasis of luxury and greenery. The Veranda offers extraordinary service, from check in to dining to the spa. The balcony of our room overlooked the tea plants, plus a view into the mountains. The infinity pool also provides a dramatic view into the surrounding hills, while having one of the signature drinks as you relax. The spa was sooo relaxing. With a private ”cottage” approach, there was privacy while still enjoying the open sky. I really enjoyed the steam shower, something new to me, while the sunken tub was luxurious in which to just be unperturbed. I understand the lotions used are derived from the staff, and I have to say the scents and feel were quite delightful. I had some tightness in my shoulders and lower back, and my masseuse was quite adept at rubbing those spots until I was relaxed. If you are looking for a unique place to enjoy yourselves, then I highly recommend the Veranda. This is not a location for evening dancing, rather a spot to fully relax and feel pampered. With beautiful cuisine preparations, soothing spa massage, and an enjoyable evening swim in the pool, you will restore your inner energies! It is even a photographic place, with many locations to take great photos! I'm already missing their specialty drinks!

My family and I have had a wonderful experience at North Hill City Resort. This is our first time here, but it won't be our last. The accommodations are lovely and even more attractive given that this hotel is relatively small and has a lovely boutique flavor. Everything worked perfectly in our rooms, and the showers are impressive in and of themselves with multiple jets of water that can soothe your aching muscles after a long round or two of golf at the world-class golf course (literally) 100 paces away from one of the entrances of the hotel. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. We were also pleasantly surprised by how efficient and cost-effective room service was. All of our food came promptly and was hot and delicious, which has not been my experience of most hotels in my years of travel. The one improvement I would make would be to the breakfast buffet, which was very good, but limited. All the food was well prepared and delicious, but if there were more options that would be helpful. Mostly, however, it was the generosity of the staff which was most impressive. Under the leadership of the resort manager, Mr. Pholkrit Poenmunkong, we were exceptionally well cared for by all staff members, but, in particular, by Mr. Poenmunkong and the front desk staff of Nada, Ploy, and Chainoi. Mr. Poenmunkong was warm and generous with his time. He greeted my young son with a formal handshake which helped him feel very proud. During our stay, he also ensured that we had everything we needed to make our experience exceptional. The front desk staff was an exquisite example of people going ”above and beyond” to help us feel at home. When you're in a new city, small things matter, and whether it was Nada making sure my four-year-old had his hat (or carrots to feed the rabbits), Ploy ensuring that we took the correct shuttles to the correct places, or Chainoi making sure we had fresh towels and teaching us archery, we felt their warmth and their competence, which was a gift. What happened as I type this review is an example of this generous hospitality. I am sitting in the hotel cafe writing this review and Nada (who works with the front desk staff), unsolicited, greeted me warmly and brought me a delicious drink, which was quite thoughtful and appreciated. This is the type of service we've experienced North Hill City Resort and I can highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to enjoy a great hotel, with delicious food and amazing hospitality.

A bit of a trouble to get a taxi in the evening time from here. But 15 minutes walking to the Starbucks and no problem to catch one from there. It's about 25min by car from the city center. Overall nice and quiet place.
