Ban Non Tae accommodation from NZ$29

Movenpick Resort is a beautiful well looked after resort with all the conveniences one would love. The surrounds, lawns and gardens are impeccable, the furniture is beautiful, and the restaurant serves incredibly lovely choice of food for breakfast. The main swimming pool is fantastically designed and the villas where we stayed are marvellous. We had our own swimming pool in our villa and it was well kept and very clean and safe. The staff are magnificent, all of them, from reception, to the management, to the valets, to the restaurant staff and chefs, gardeners and cleaners. The management staff looked after us, especially Ming (from Nang Rong) who made it very special for us when we needed some assistance. All the staff have the friendly Thai Smile, and cheerful happy faces, and all showed they valued us. It was wonderful and we would definitely love to stay again and enjoy the beauty of Movenpick Resort in Khao Yai. It is a great place to stay for a visit to Khao Yai National Park, but also the beauty of Thailand.

I've stayed at the Ozone before and it's in a quiet location with ample parking, situated only a km from the park entrance which is why i choose it. There are lots of restaurants nearby including a Laos food venue. The staff are friendly and helpful although those on reception when I checked in spoke no English. However, Google Translate is brilliant so language isn't really a problem any more. It's somewhere around a 3 star hotel...because the thing that lets it down, at least for me, is the breakfast. Most days I chose to take a breakfast box into the park because the restaurant doesn't open until 7am which is no good if you're a wildlife photographer like me who has an early start each day. On the day i left I had a 'normal' breakfast which wasnt worth the trouble. An omelette and toast and marmalade plus insipid tea. The sausage snd ham are 'plastic' as they are in most of Thailand. The staff just sat behind the counter watching television or listening to a radio. No customer service at all. So in summary. It's a nice place to sleep and to be close to the park, the reception staff are great....but the restaurant and staff let them down badly. I ate out so it wasn't a problem. It's not uncommon in Thailand either...western food is misunderstood and is generally ignored by many 2-3 star hotels. I'd stay again, despite the breakfast...

Very good in everything.
