Bor Saen Villa Spa

We travelled Thailand as a multi generation adult family and stayed in several hotels - which we needed as bases, or relaxing days in between and this one was for the latter... Location first... you need a car if you want to go out, explore from here or find places to eat ... we walked to the 7/11 which didnt seem too far... but it was! There are a handful of restaurants within walking distance, 1 in the grounds, but the menu wasn't to our taste. There is a coffee shop with very good reviews, on the main road but we didnt know the opening times and when we went it was closed! The hotel itself if very large, with a Centre Parcs feel to it. Lots of things to keep you active if you want this. We had a 3 bedroom pool villa which was wonderful, but we did have to ask for additional sun beds as there was only 2 (for 6 people) and no outside table or chairs, we had to bring out the furniture from inside. When we asked for sunbeds they were a little shocked, and the housekeeping staff were huffing and puffing about it. The pool was a little on the cold side as it was in the shade, but it was refreshing and the courtyard is a sun trap. Dining/ kitchen/ lounge is lovely - with a dining table, coffee table and sofa/ chairs. There is a fridge with crockery and cutlery etc The bedrooms are good sized with storage, and a small dressing table and safe. The bathroom is outside/ in... has a real forest feel and is dark and cosy. The toiletries were lovely and all had a nod to eco friendly products The grounds of the hotel were lovely to walk around. The restaurant/ cafe was large .. but understaffed. The first night we went in it was busy, but the staff were running around and getting no where... we waited 2 hours for our meal in total, which we didnt mind, if we could still drink and have had nibbles .. but the wait for drinks, and forgotten drinks got a little annoying. The staff were apologetic and kind though and it appears this was not a usual thing for them to be so busy. The next night was not as bad - we went in earlier - food was tasty and reasonably priced. The breakfast was in the upstairs dining room overlooking the complex, which was stunning as a view... buffet style food with lots of choice, from traditional thai, to English options... suggestion wait until the eggs have been freshly cooked as they tend to be left and go very cold.. but really good quality and we enjoyed just sitting for a while looking out at the beauty of the views. our lovely waitress was Indy and she was amazing - big shout out to her.. The hotel organised us a transfer to our next hotel which was super efficient and the best price we got overall a great stay, we had 2 nights here and I think without a car that was enough

Everything about this resort was SUPERB! - the big spacious rooms, the comfortable beds, the forest feel washroom (felt as if inside a forest…with birds playing beautiful and different orchestra music🎼🎸🎶🎵🥁 every time we used it😍), big pool, separate dining area (with utensils, kettle, big fridge etc.), the ever smiling and helpful staff (Kasorn, Jack, Su, Kai, Nok and all of them), plentiful breakfast spread with fresh cut fruits and salad, breads etc. (they even prepared for us yummy stir-fried rice and arranged for some dishes as per our dietary requirements…vegetarians, not eating egg as well), the lively cafe with awesome (and very reasonably priced) drinks, food and beautiful music, huge stunning grounds and lake (we loved boating on the cute paddle boats), lush greenery with flowering trees, so many species of birds😍 each singing a different and beautiful music🎶, bikes provided to roam around the huge resort grounds, the out-of-the-world tree walk (you get a 360* view of the astonishing resort from there), a cute playground for kids with archery and table tennis as well, a small and loaded mini market besides the reception area, the courteous and ever smiling front desk personnel…they arrange good priced cab service as well. To summarise, it is an ultimate place for spending good family time in the midst of nature with all the facilities provided. khawp khun kha🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Another lovely Festive holiday spent here at Borsaen! We are a big family and we booked the 3bedroom pool villa :-) The staff go above and beyond. Shoutout to Ale and the F&B team during breakfast. They were so helpful when my niece and mother in law needed help. Thank you again Borsaen family. This is our 4th visit and we will be back again
