Belle Villa Resort Pai

Stayed in the deluxe pool room and it was lovely. Really enjoyed this hotel, the pool (outside the room, I didn’t use the one nearer the restaurant) was lovely, apart from a few broken tiles at the bottom of the pool with could be a little dangerous but was still lovely overall. All the staff we met were really nice and very polite. Didn’t have any inserts in the room. We didn’t try the restaurant, so can’t comment on it (not because it looked bad, we just wanted to taste different things in Pai. The location is great, just a couple minutes by scooter outside the town so it’s quiet and some nice views of the surroundings. Feels like a luxury hotel without the price tag. We stayed in early October.

The pools are clean the rooms have comfortable beds and mine has no smell at all. The place is beautiful and quite. You can walk out the front to the river and there is a small farm doing it thing of to the side. There is zero town/bar noise. This place is great.

I have no good things to say about the rooms in the main building (next to the large pool). The walls are completely damp and this emits a strong smell. When we addressed this, were offered a different room in the complex which was facing the same issue (and was actually worse as you could see moist spots on the ceiling). The facilities are also very old in this building and in general I don’t have anything positive to say about these rooms. After we brought this up, staff offered the possibility to stay in the cottages, which are much nicer and do not face similar issues. They were very friendly and understanding and made no problems to make the switch at all. It was maybe because it was end of October and not high season yet, but there was no breakfast buffet, only a limited choice from card. The breakfast was however tasty and service here was great with a very nice view over the calm Pai countryside. It’s a 20-min walk from the city of Pai but they offer a shuttle service and a pickup service so you aren’t too limited in your visits. All in all important to keep in mind the pictures do not give a proper representation of this resort, especially when it comes to the pools and the poolside rooms.
