We've stayed at some wonderful hotels over the years but the MO Dhara Dhevi is in the top three. Beautiful resort with stunning architecture and I disagree with previous comments about it's Disneyland feel - it was amazingly authentic. We stayed in a deluxe Colonial Suite which was very spacious, had an enormous bathroom with large whirlpool bath and seperate... more

There are not enough words to describe how breathtaking the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi is. If you Google and download their brochure, the property is very true to what you see there. Once you enter the property and the reception area you feel like you’ve been whisked away to another world. The decor and accessories don’t take away from the... more

I booked a package that gave a fourth night free and stayed five nights with a friend and my two children. I was so impressed that even on a package, the hotel gave us a two-grade upgrade from a regular villa to an incredible rice paddy fronting villa with a plunge pool when they surely didn't have to. When we... more

I've travelled extensively but the MO Dhara Dhevi is, without question, the most gorgeous & elegant resort I've ever stayed at: stunning Thai Lanna architecture; warm & friendly staff (I got the impression they like what they do and genuinely wanted to make our stay memorable); very attentive service; beautifully furnished rooms/villas (many with antiques); world class spa; gourmet cuisine.... more

Gorgeous Hotel! Staying here is like staying at your own private Asian kingdom! We were in Villa 21 and the view from our room was beautiful plus the staff is very attentive. I recommend that you get the in room dinner! We were there on our honeymoon and they blew us away! more

It was my second time staying there - just had to bring my wife after experiencing the place once during a business trip. The hotel feels like a palace. Its set on sprawling grounds with many grand structures and buildings. Right from the start, you enter through grand gates, pass the cobbled walkway to a beautiful lobby. Thereafter, you can... more

Building a resort of that size in Chiang Mai was a strange idea. Most visitors come to Chiang Mai for a few days of activities and then move on to a beach resort in the south of the country. Even within Chiang Mai, the Dhara Dhevi location is not the best – it’s 15 minutes from downtown in an area... more

I have stayed in many places but this goes on the top portion of my list as one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Truly and utterly fantastic. Not a bad word to say for anything. A wonderful experience and I would like to think I will go back one day. more

The last person literally wrote everything that I wanted to write. It is truely amazing, the service, food, accomodation is absolutely fantastic. I felt a bit sorry for the hotel as Thailand is clearly suffering with tourist numbers this year; local say -40%; The hotel was probably only 25% full. If your going to Chiang Mai and you want 5*... more
