Baroque Boutique Resort

This is a quirky hotel, with a British telephone box at the entry, an eclectic collection of nick-backs in the cafe/dining room and a series of brightly painted wooden cabins around an ornamental fountain and garden! What a find! The room was clean, with toiletries etc in the bathroom. There is a mezzanine floor with a futon above the bed but the steps prevent access to one side if the bed as they are fixed. This was easily remedied by moving the bed slightly. However we could not remedy the slats under the bed randomly popping off, which happened several times. The breakfast was huge with eggs,cooked to your preference, sausage, ham, beans, toast & salad as well as cakes, jellies and fruit. The lady who cooked the food queried if we wanted more meat and less salad for our second day and double checked our egg preferences ! The restaurant was not open during the evening (as far as we could tell only 1 other room was occupied when we stayed) so I cannot comment on the evening meal. The stars of this hotel were the staff, who despite having very little English, managed to communicate really well with us using Google translate to ensure we had everything we needed. The owner suggested a hot springs park for us to visit and arranged transport there and back and he also organised a taxi to take us to the pier for the speedboat across to Koh Phayam, altering the booking time when we asked The hotel is not actually in the town of Ranong and so is a little isolated but we found it to be a little haven.

A very unique little “resort”. Neat little houses imbedded by a beautiful garden well maintained and with a lot of charm. The owner has a special hobby in collecting antique furnitures, accessories dating back to baroque time…. But not only ;-) Very dedicated, professional and friendly staff are making sure you have all you need and feel as comfortable as possible. The resort is located right next a river (canal), not far away of national parks and the very traditional city Ranong with a market worth to check it out. It’s definitely a recommended place to stay for a couple of days or more. PS: part of the resort is also a restaurant and a kind of “French bakery” with delicious pastries and tasteful coffee.
