Veranda High Resort Chiang Mai - MGallery 5 stars

All services were excellent. The food was great and the view was great!

All staff are nice and we received a very warm welcome. Great place, clean room and good food.

Thank you for making our honeymoon so special! Veranda Resort was, without a doubt, one of the best, if not the best, hotels we have stayed in so far. We don’t usually write such long reviews, but the Veranda staff definitely deserves a detailed one! If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind, escape the craziness of the busy city, be surrounded by nature and calmness but still have a good connection to the city, be provided with excellent hospitality, and not be bored—this is the place for you! We stayed for seven nights at the beginning of November and used most of the facilities that the resort offered: pool, jacuzzi, gym, spa, restaurant, bar, transport, and extra activities. Location: The resort is located a 30-minute drive from the city center, but the staff offers a complimentary shuttle bus service at set times to the city and back to the hotel, so the connection is not an issue and is free. It made our travels and sightseeing much easier and more convenient. The hotel is situated in the mountains, so the whole place is very quiet and peaceful. No outside noise, no crowds, only the pleasant sound of crickets and frogs at night and birds during the day. As huge nature lovers, we enjoyed the wilderness at Veranda a lot; we found geckos especially entertaining! The view of the White Temple and the palm trees from the Higher room was just incredible. The sunsets were unreal. The resort itself is not very busy, and even the main pool was empty most of the time, which was great! The whole place is so green and lush; it just helps your mind to relax. Everything from the pool to the trees, grass, and plants was so well maintained and perfectly clean. Staff: A huge, huge thank you to every single staff member—you all greeted us with a smile and kindness, and nothing was problematic for you when we asked. Helpful reception staff, including night staff, were always keen to book us taxis, give us recommendations, have a chat and joke with us. Housekeeping was always present, and the room was always perfectly clean - we found the everyday good night sweets left in our room when we went out to the city to be a nice little touch! The restaurant and breakfast staff were so attentive and kept their eye on every detail! Gentlemen in charge of transport - also the ones on the ground in a golf cart were so helpful. Big, big thanks to Jackie who gave us a white temple tour, for her knowledge and enthusiasm. And special staff members—cats that kept us company in the evenings—made the hotel feel like home and entertained us while setting a friendly environment. Facilities: The room was spacious, quiet, and clean; it had everything you needed—good AC, drinkable water, coffee, tea topped up every day, and a big straw bag that you can use to take your stuff to the pool. We loved the little private patio outside our window where we could sit at night and listen to the frogs. The breakfast buffet was delicious—so many choices in addition to freshly cooked eggs upon request. The staff was always happy to cut fresh fruit for us, which was amazing. Dinners and cocktails were so tasty; we liked that a lot of products were locally sourced. We loved the tree house seats in the restaurant. The spa offered a wide range of choices in terms of massages done by certified therapists, and we were very happy with ours. The spa was clean, intimate, and very relaxing. Pool and gym—all well maintained and clean. There were options to book free activities like temple walking, rice planting, yoga, Thai boxing class, or bike rides, which took place in the local village—all organized by staff for guests. Design: So impressed with the designs! We felt like we were in the Vogue catalogue! Modern, minimalist concrete blocks composed perfectly with the greenery around them. It was so well designed that it felt like buildings and pools were an addition to the greenery, not a way around! We will remember our Veranda stay for a long time, and we will definitely return if we ever are in beautiful Chiang Mai again! ขอบคุณ, Alex&Matt

Very hospitable and happy service staff

This was a getaway for two days and it was very pleasant. The staff takes excellent care of guests and the rooms are impecable and spacious. We had our meals there and also the food is delicious. Perhaps the only critic will be not serving fresh natural juice for breakfast. Overall it was excellent.
