Dheva Mantra Resort

This is a large a hotel - resort on the banks of Kawai. At the back of the hotel you can see Kwai snaking through the property. It has a lovely restaurant that you can have a dinner at, the food is excellent almost perfect. The rooms are very good in size as it was large with a balcony looking into the garden and the pool. The breakfast is also lovely, the hotel decor is old Singapore very elegant as the breakfast room is elegant with great food. We arranged for our own taxi to take us to the daytrip - River Kwai railroad and museum, you must see Hellfire Pass, its a must. You dont need to ride the train, its a tourist trap, it get full quickly. So just walk on the train tracks, take your pictures which is the real thing then take the car to Hellfire Pass before 4pm as they close early. Its an Australian, New Zeland, Indian, British Memorial for all the people who died WWII building the railway. I am so glad our Aussie friend told us about it, we would've been sad to miss it, you get self guided tour of the pass that was built by the prisoners of war and the museum in the site is a must. If you give yourself a full day for this, its good. Skip the waterfall, as its a waste. Next day on the way back you can see the Floating Market on the way back to BK, that's what did. We didn't ride the boat, another tourist trap you get blocked by 100s of boats in different directions with black fumes. The pool is lovely and the property is really nice to walk in the back.

I recently stayed at Dheva hotel and had a fantastic experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, with big, cozy beds. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the delicious food selection at breakfast - there were so many tasty options to choose from. The hotel also had beautiful grounds, adding to the overall ambiance. Additionally, the location was great, making it convenient for exploring the surrounding area. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its comfortable rooms, friendly staff, delicious breakfast, beautiful grounds, and convenient location.

Junior suite is very nice. We asked for the same room as last time and got it! Vegetarian options have improved but could still do with more options. Pool is very nice, and quiet! River Kwai is a few feet from the pool. We both like this hotel as it's very peaceful.

Very friendly welcome by kh. Bee, Front Office Manager, efficient and attentive check in. All buildings of the Resort have been recently renovated and painted in colors which remind me of Mrigadayavan Palace. High and airy ceilings and the choice of colors relax and sooth. Tasteful finishing touches with fabrics of Jim Thompson. All nestled in a vast and well kept garden. Last but not least to mention is the Spa with professional therapists.

Perfect location to see the River Quay the death Museum. There’s a lovely elephant sanctuary, 45 minute drive away, the taxis are very cheap. If you get them privately not through the hotel.
