Panviman Chiang Mai Spa Resort

Issue with shower draining; told it was fixed but it wasn’t. Room had odor bc of the water issues. Pools and grounds were incredible. Food was delicious.

Clean room, great gulf cart drivers, great restaurant staff, lovely location

I stayed here a year ago and i returned to have more time to enjoy the amenities and have a villa with a jacuzzi. I would stay here again. There is nothing to do but stay on the property the entire time. One menu, but extensive. An above average breakfast buffet. Stunning scenery. Photogenic terraced swimming pools 2 freezing. One warm (not hot.). Only negatives were the shower water was intermittently hot and the room a/c doesn't have a heating mode which was needed in the mountains in January. The staff, upon request, brought more blankets and a portable electric heater.

Although it was beautiful, there are a lot of drawbacks to staying at this hotel. Firstly, it is so isolated from the city that Grab riders refuse to drive you to the hotel from the city. They accept the ride and then tell you they won’t take you there unless you cancel the ride and pay them double the fare. The food at the hotel is not good, especially considering how isolated it is they should have better quality food available since it’s so hard to get to other options. The spa was extortion — they were charging more than triple in comparison to spas in town. Overall, it was pretty challenging to contact them as a foreigner via whatsapp because they often would take days to respond or not respond at all even when asking questions while staying at the hotel. The property itself was gorgeous however, and we really enjoyed the views. I would not recommend coming here as a foreigner but would be a better experience as a local with a car.
