Resotel Baan Sanook

I came across this hotel on Trip Advisor after looking for a hotel with a swimming pool in the surrounding area of Sawang Daen Din. This was the only one I found. I went to the Resotel website, looked at the photos and thought this was too good to be true. The Resotel is exactly as portrayed on the website. The place is beautiful, well maintained and obviously loved by the owners, Robert and Linny. The place is immaculate. The room was private, quiet, very comfortable, had a large secluded patio area, good views across the countryside, very good TV services, hot (hot) water delivered through a very good rain shower, large refrigerator and great bed. Robert and Linny are the perfect hosts. They will do whatever they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are very helpful and knowledgable about the local area. It is like visiting a friends house. This is a 5 star property with a 5 star service and 5 star attitude. I will certainly be using the Baan-Sanook again as, although it is also excellent value for money, it is a small bit of paradise in Isan.

We spent a total of 16 days in Isaan and saw many top sights. The stay in the Resotel Baan Sanook brought us closer to the rural life of the population and was therefore a very good addition. The operators are very friendly and committed. One notices the love for Isaan and the enthusiasm to be a host. We felt very well taken care of. Because the resort has only four rooms, you always get privacy if you want it. But you also get in good contact with the other guests.

Toppenbra. Vi informerar våra svenska vänner. Trevlig personal och välordnade utflykter. Underbart sänglinne och smakfullt inrett.

Na 2 weken Laos kwamen we bij de fam Merks terecht. Mooie luxe slaapkamer met ruime badkamer. Alles zeer schoon. Mooie en rustige landelijke omgeving. Weinig toeristen. Beter hadden we het niet kunnen treffen. Iedere dag een lekker ontbijt. Excursie gedaan met Robert die er werkelijk alles voor over heeft om jouw een leuke dag te bezorgen. Robert heeft veel kennis van de omgeving. Ook met de scooter weg geweest. Leuke en mooie routes gereden. In de avond met de familie Merks naar leuke restaurants geweest. Robert en Salinee bedankt voor de fijne dagen.

We looked for a nice place to stay around Phang Kohn and were very lucky to hit on Resotel Baan Sanook, a superb resort run by Robert and his Thai wife Lina (if I understood correctly). The resort stands out because of its perfect quality of really everything: the room, the huge bed (7 feet wide) with very high quality matras, the luxury bathroom with rain shower and clean drinkable water from the tap. Robert does not work with arrival and departure hours, so my room was made while I enjoyed a dive in a beautiful pool. There is a waterfall from the upper pool to the lower pool, next to a bassin for fish. We stayed in a room with 1 King Size bed, but there are also a few detached houses with a larger capacity for families or two couples. The main building offers an open living room and kitchen. In the morning a good European or Thai breakfast is served. One thing that really stands out is the friendly interaction with the hosts. If you want to relax near the pool it is just okay, it you want to talk you are just as welcome. Robert and I watched the formula 1 race that was on that weekend and he helped me with lots of info about sights to see in the Isan, as well as things to know for a longer stay in Thailand. We even we to a restaurant twice as if we’ve been friends for ages. Our initial stay was just 1 night, but I promised to come back soon. In fact I came back after two days already because of the spartan quality of the other resorts we visited. When you compare the resorts around Phang Khon, you may notice a price difference, but I advise you to see through that, because you’ll get a superb experience. If you compare it to European prices, it is still very much affordable.

Thanks for a wonderful stay I’ve stayed in a lot of places all over the world and this counts amongst the very best. Kim and I will be back soon

Firstly the owners of Baan Sanook were absolutely first class hosts. Mr Robert and Pee Salinee made my wife and I feel welcome like family from the moment we arrived till the time we left. I only booked two nights but we felt so relaxed we stayed four nights. The facility's are all first class. The pool was so relaxing and the breakfast that Mr Robert made for us was so fresh and delicious. I can not fault this Beutiful relaxing home stay resort. My wife and i will be sure to be very regular customers in the near future. Keep up the great work Mr Robert and Pee Salinee. Thankyou again and again.

Liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Sehr sauber und zum wohlfühlen. Top Frühstück !

I was visiting the Issan region with my family last month and my wife's niece reserved a stay for us at this wonderful resort. We required 4 rooms to accommodate all of us. My wife, two kids and I stayed in the main house next to the pool. My wife's family stayed in one of the double room villas. Each room was exquisitely furnished with solid wood furniture hand crafted at a local mill work. Even the shutters and doors with their beautiful carvings were hand made. The bathrooms were totally modern with fixtures imported from Europe. We were so comfortable, I hated to leave. The best part was the super friendly host and owner, Mr. and Mrs Merks. They spent time with us at check in and made sure we were completely comfortable. In the morning, Mr. Merks met me by the pool and we had a long talk over many topics drinking the gourmet coffee he made for us. Later, as the family joined us, he and Mrs. Merks cooked all of our breakfast requests fresh. Mr. Merks also has fine Dutch bread and butter he bought from local European businesses in the area. I am sure everyone will love this resort and it's owners just as much as we did during our stay.

As annual returning visitor to Thailand, i only know about this place through a fb group. As always on the lookout for unique experiences, we took the gamble and flew to Udon Thani this trip. We stayed 5 nights at mr and ms Merks' (Dutch Thai couple) beautiful villa, wich is run in a homestay style. There are 2 inhouse guest rooms and 2 garden bugalows. We had one inhouse room with in quality and finish of materials can easily match a 3/4* hotel. The house is situated some 95km to east from Udon Thani in the middle of country side isaan. So no big cities to expect (nearest 7/11 2km) . We didnt spot any tourist at all driving the surroundings by motorbike. Then i must say never had a host/owner putting so much effort in you enjoying your stay. Wich for us sometimes came a bit overwhelming. Nothing is to crazy for Robert to arrange. From the western breakfast he produces in the morning, to dinnertrips he took us. And the sightseeing trip we went. Which he showed nature you dont expect in ricefield country side. Chokdee Robert and Saline. If we have the chance to come back, we will.

You step into a warm bath at Resotel Baan Sanook. Beautiful room, great view and nice breakfast. Last but not least , the owner and his lovely wife are very friendly and caring. Almost everything is possible.

Ein super gepflegtes Hotel-Resort mit zwei getrennten Pools. Hier kommt man als Fremder und geht als Freund. Die Zimmer sind sehr gepflegt und schön ausgestattet. Das Frühstück wird einem nach eigenem Wunsch serviert. Keine festen Zeiten. Hier kann man sich wirklich erholen. Mopeds kann man sich auch ausleihen um die Gegend zu erkunden. Auf Wunsch wird auch ein gemeinsammes Abendessen zubereitet. Es wird einem jeder Wusch erfüllt. zB: Fahrt zur Massage, Besichtigungstouren, Stadtfahrten und vieles mehr. In der Anlage befindet sich auch ein Teich zum angeln. Ich werde dieses Hotel wieder buchen.

Wir waren über weihnachten Der Robert ist ein super Gastgeber wir werden definitiv wiederkommen. Es stehen Motorroller kostenlos zu Verfügung die genutzt werden können. Ein super Frühstück. Ein vorzeige Resort in Thailand.

Great location, excellent excursions, owner himself takes care of your needs, very clean and well maintained, possibility to see traditional Thai living. Excursion scooters available, preprogrammed routes provided. Excellent breakfast

Ein fantastisches Ressort, das sowohl zum Entspannen als auch als Ausgangspunkt für interessante Ausflüge bestens geeignet ist. Gastgeber, die diese Bezeichnung wirklich verdienen und bei denen man sich von der ersten Minute an wie zu Hause fühlt. Hier passt einfach alles zusammen und der Abschied fällt wirklich schwer. Vielen Dank an Linee und Robert für eine super Zeit: Ich komme wieder und dann bleibe ich länger.

Beautiful cottage in rural area. Privacy combined with chat with owners when you like. Easy going and not strickt on the clock.

I had really low hopes of finding a place in the Sawang Din Daeng/Phang area when I started looking last month, but when I started searching for places around the area on the internet, I came across this place and was really intrigued, it looked like a really special little 'oasis off the beaten path." I based all of this off photos and trip advisor reviews. I thought it would be impressive, what I didn't realize was HOW impressive. Robert and his wife Salinee have really gone out of their way and haven't spared ANYTHING to make this place what it is. From the warm greeting, to the views of the rice growing, to the natural swimming pool, world class sleep, incredible breakfast and really nice people. This is worth the journey, even from places as far as Bangkok. Visit Resotel Ban Sanook and you will be glad you did!

At Resotel Baan Sanook they understand hospitality! Overall the service is great, chalet very comfortable and great beds. The owners Robert and Salinee go the extra mile for their guests, from creating a fabulous breakfast to just be there when you need them. Our son loved the pool and spend many hours a day in it. I can only recommend this location....you will not find any better.

e stapt in een oase van rust en veel groen, een prachtig aangelegde tuin,vol planten en bomen. Als je wilt neemt de gastheer je mee,naar bijzondere plekken in oost Thailand die nog niet door toeristen zijn ontdekt ,echt geweldig en indrukwekkend! Ook zijn er scooters aanwezig en kun je de prachtige omgeving ontdekken. Een heerlijk zwembad is er om af te koelen ! Uitzicht op de rijstvelden.... Wij waren helemaal verliefd op het gebied!

Sehr schöner Pool und Gartenanlage vorhanden. Sehr nettes Gastgeberpärchen. Europäischer Standart in den Zimmern und die einzige Dusche in Thailand, welche wirklich Wasserdruck und Warmwasser hatte. ;) Sehr gutes Frühstück ​

Alles mag, alles kan, niets moet en doe vooral alsof je thuis bent. Dit waren de woorden van onze gastheer Robert toen hij ons kwam ophalen. Zijn vrouw had een heerlijk diner gemaakt bij aankomst. Robert heeft ons zoveel mogelijk laten zien en laten weten over het gebied Isan. De kamer was prachtig; heerlijke bedden en super schoon. We hebben een onvergetelijke tijd gehad in Resotel Baan Sanook!

We had a wonderfull stay at Resortel Baan Sanook. The owner and his family are so friendly. You feel almost like being at home. The rooms are really good/luxury and nice and very full breakfast. We have seen so many things and we loved the country side. I would definitely recommend to stay here.

Vielen lieben Dank für so einen tollen Urlaub. Geplant waren nur 3 Übernachtungen, danach wollten wir noch 10 Tage auf eine Insel. Unterwegs haben wir wieder umgedreht und den Rest auch bei Euch verbracht. Viele Ausflüge habt ihr mit uns gemeinsam gemacht und uns Thailand ganz anders gezeigt. Bei euch konnten wir uns wie zu Hause fühlen. Das Essengehen hat uns viel Spaß gemacht und war immer lecker. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder. Ich muss, glaube ich, doch noch mal auf dem Mekong übersetzen. Oder den Wasserfall in seiner ganzen Schönheit erleben (nach der Trockenzeit). Eure Roller standen uns jederzeit zur Verfügung für nur Sprit und Reinigung. Mein Mann schwärmt immer noch von der Besichtigung der Orchideenfarm.

Een stijlvolle accommodatie in een prachtige, niet toeristische kant van Thailand. Je maakt in overleg met je gastheer/vrouw een op maat geplande daginvulling. Per auto of scooter bezoek je plaatsen/bezienswaardigheden die jou aanspreken. Ook de tijd die je er wil spenderen is geheel aan de gast. Je bent totaal niet afhankelijk van de tijdsplanning van bv een reisagency of groep. Je kunt het zeker als een privé tour zien, zelfs nog meer afgestemd op jou als gast.
