The hotel and the grounds are stunning. It was quiet and peaceful on the riverfront. The breakfast buffet was probably the best I’ve ever had. I loved the decor and landscaping. Everyone was so helpful. They went above and beyond in every area. I won’t stay anywhere else.

Anantara riverside is a hidden gem on the riverside. The gym is very good with yoga and zumba classes and the pool area is nice and clean. All the restaurants serve fantastic food and the service is kind and efficient.

What a gorgeous and relaxing spot to start our Thailand trip. The gardens, variety of places to relax and have a snack, the river ferry, and fitness center were lovely. The breakfast buffet is out of this world!! We could not believe it. Wonderful staff made the visit more than we had hoped for. We would definitely return.
