Resort costs more then top tier hotel in Bangkok. For that you get paid wifi (30m for free), limited AC, you have to pay for hotel boat to pick you up, pay all fees on top. Very unprofessional

We booked at 500Rai via Thai National Parks on an all-inclusive basis, excursions included but not dependent on the hotel.The location is exceptional, peaceful and nestled in nature. The 500Rai also has one of the most beautiful views of all the resorts on the lake!We stayed in a deluxe room, that is to say in a villa with an adjoining bedroom. Although the room has a breathtaking view and is very clean, the sound insulation is non-existent and the thermal insulation precarious because it is very hot upstairs. Each room has direct access to the water (which is very good). On the other hand, the bathroom, located outside but protected by walls and a roof, is dilapidated and needs updating. In addition, privacy from the villa next door is limited…For the rest, the food is very good and plentiful. We were all inclusive and didn't see any prices except for drinks which are very expensive. The staff is very friendly but for the additional services, the quality/price ratio is not correct. The advertised “luxury” standing is not justified. For example, we had booked a massage and ultimately our slot was given to another villa, for no reason. This is disappointing and unprofessional. On the other hand, each villa has its own kayak which is very nice. As for standup paddles, it's more complicated... they are normally made available to everyone near the swimming pool (which is OK but nothing more) but people (with children) make them their own, so much so that they you have to fight or “steal” them to get one. It’s quite painful!Overall, a mixed opinion. The magic of the place is not entirely reflected in the standing offered by the 500Rai. It’s a shame because the place remains fabulous!

Oh my oh my this is heaven! The views and the quiet are absolutely worth the price!The food is simple but it needs to travel to get there so be nice. Careful if you have small children the upper mezzanine is very steep to climb so we slept with our son in the big and comfy bed downstairs, but hey cuddle time is always a good time. One of the most beautiful places I have been!

Most beautiful place I’ve ever visited, unbelievable nature scenery, the villa was amazing, food was on point, service was very very good 👍🏾 the team at 500 rai went above and beyond for me and my partner, did what ever they could to make our stay comfortable and our time to remember one of the staff by the name of Nipa took a photo of us and put it on a photo album for us as a souvenir
