Secret Garden Chiang Mai

A wonderful stay at the Secret Garden in Chiang Mai. The setting was beautiful and the accomodations were perfect. The hospitality shown by the entire staff made you feel right at home. Isabel went out of her way to make sure you my son and I felt comfortable and that we could get to and from. Isabel met us from the bus and made sure we made it on time to our plane very early in the morning. The food was amazing as were the gardens which allowed us to relax and enjoy. We were able to take in a great day of exotic fishing, tour the markets and see the lovely town. We ran into some problems with our flight arrangements and Isabel was so kind to help my wife back home in the states get everything worked out and get us on our way. We hope to come back some day and the Secret Gardens will be one of our stops. This is a very hard working family and it shows by how caring they are towards their guests and how they care for home. We would recommend the Secret Garden to anyone staying in Chiang Mai. Thank you Isabel, Peter and Pai

We stayed at the Secret Garden for 6 days and had the most amazing experience there thanks to the hospitality and generosity of the owners Peter, Pai and Isabel. Even though the hotel is a little ways out of Chiang Mai, they always made sure we had a ride to town. Isabel contacted us before our arrival to arrange for a pick-up from the train station and it was great to have a ride waiting for us when we arrived. We stayed at the Family villa and it was spacious and private with a large veranda overlooking the beautiful countryside. There was plenty of room for us and our two kids. We felt safe allowing the kids to roam around the resort as it felt like at home. The most generous breakfast was provided every morning prepared by Pai, Isabel and their helpers. Each evening they also prepared delicious Thai dinners that we all very much enjoyed. In fact, we stayed at the resort for dinner every evening just to find out the next dish that Pai was going to serve. She also allowed guests into the kitchen to watch her cooking and our 11 year old son got to participate hands on in the cooking process! Isabel was very helpful to give us advice on local events and things to do and she always anticipated our every need. We have not received this kind of care and attention from any other place we have stayed at during our trip to Thailand. We would certainly recommend this place to anyone!

The Secret Garden is a very special place. It is a rural setting, close to a small Thai village. We stayed in one of the family houses. It was like a home away from home. A very relaxing setting with our own veranda looking out upon the rice fields. The owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The meals are a true highlight. Prepared fresh each day. Delicious and nutritious Thai cuisine. For exploring the area, there are bicycles and motorcycles. Highly recommend the Secret Garden.

Secret Garden offers a beautiful environment with friendly staff, cozy bungalos, and truly amazing food. Peter, Isabel, and Pai are truly the most gracious hosts you can imagine. They helped endlessly with our travels and prepared an over-the-top breakfast and dinner each day. Guests are even encouraged to help Pai cook your authentic Thai meals. Our children had plenty of room to play and explore, ride bikes, swim, and play on the playground. I would encourage anyone visiting Chiang Mai area to stay here... we certainly look forward to coming back!
