We just spent three nights at the Soul. The hotel is very stylish and tastefully decorated. Our Pristine 1 room on one of the upper floors was perfect. The garden and the spectacular views are breathtaking. A true 5-star experience. However, on the first day and very early the following morning, we were very disturbed by loud, incessant prayers and music from a very large group of followers of some kind of mindfulness Boyth movement, all dressed in white. It wasn't very pleasant being woken up at 5 a.m. by their boring, indoctrinated prayers. We were glad when they all checked out and left. The breakfast buffet was perfect only once. On the other days, there were à la carte dishes that could have been better. The quality of the food in the restaurant could also be improved, especially the quality of the chicken dishes. Salads and pasta were okay. The swimming pool, spa, and Petra Pool Bar are fantastic – truly 5 stars. The entire staff, from housekeeping to the restaurant to reception, was first-class. Very welcoming and friendly. Ms. Chali, the receptionist, was fantastic; she deserves seven stars. She was a very open and friendly person with perfect English and a great sense of humor. She did everything to make our stay unforgettable. The only downside: loud construction noise every day directly behind the meditation area outside the hotel grounds, mainly from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This isn't exactly relaxing or conducive to mindfulness. Would I come back? Yes, definitely, but only if there are no more cult groups and no more construction noise. Igo van Hoof, Stefan van Loock, Belgium

I had a wonderful weekend here and hope to return someday. The place is even more beautiful than in the photos, and the accommodations are charming and spacious. While the resort offers activities, they are anything but typical – how about visiting Buddhist shrines deep in the mountain caves, for example? Or morning yoga accompanied by birdsong? The food wasn't five-star gourmet, but it was still wonderful. The flower fields between the resort and the mountains are so breathtaking that you can spend hours relaxing in the shaded cabanas, simply admiring them. If you have the opportunity to travel here, don't hesitate. It was one of the highlights of my month in Thailand.

Quiet, luxurious, and ideal for those seeking relaxation, health-conscious travelers, and nature lovers. A visit is definitely worthwhile. The breakfast is delicious and of high quality. The service is excellent. Highly recommended overall.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

Location is more important than the stars

A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
