Rates start from $54 per night.
Who'll feel at home here

Best for
- Families wanting kitchen facilities
- Longer stays needing more space
- Travellers with a car
- Couples after a pool-and-spa break
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting a central urban location
- Those seeking a wide dining or nightlife scene on-site
Pool, deck, and garden grounds
The outdoor pool sits within grounds that include a sun deck, garden, terrace, outdoor furniture, and a dedicated picnic area. It's a proper spread of outdoor space rather than a single token amenity.
Apartment rooms with private kitchens
Both room categories are full apartments. Each has a private kitchen equipped with a toaster, electric kettle, and refrigerator, plus a private bathroom and a balcony. The setup suits guests who want to self-cater at least part of the time.
Spa and wellness on site
The spa and wellness center is one of the property's headline facilities. Paired with a fitness center, it gives guests options beyond the pool without leaving the resort.
Tennis at an additional charge
A tennis court and tennis equipment rental are available on site, making the resort one of the few in Ban Phe with court access. Equipment hire carries an additional charge.
