"The pictures are not a true reflection of this property. It has the potential to be a very lovely hotel but it is run down and falling apart. The rooms were dirty especially the bathroom. There wasn't a mosquito net for the bed. Service for breakfast was very slow. The pool looks like it needs a good clean. I couldn't even get into it. "

Villa White Queen Resort & Spa

Villa White Queen Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"Best part is the staff behaviour and helping nature. Our suite was quite large easily 3 times that of an average hotel room. Location is in a typical residential area rather than busy touristy place. Local taxi/tuktuk hiring app works well and costs very little.Certainly recommended."
