Although the breakfast options do not include a buffet, the à la carte menu provides several choices, ensuring most essentials are available. Portions are plentiful, keeping guests satisfied as they start their day. One of the standout features is having breakfast with spectacular views of the cascading waterfalls and lush vegetation, creating a serene and picturesque dining experience. While some guests noted the simplicity and limited selection of the breakfast menu, the overall consensus highlights the quality and deliciousness of the meals, making breakfast at this resort a memorable start to the day.

Sukantara Cascade Resort and Spa offers an exceptional dining experience that consistently impresses its guests. The restaurant is celebrated for its delicious and flavorful dishes, with a particular emphasis on authentic Thai cuisine made from fresh ingredients. Guests find the meals to be satisfying and the prices to be quite reasonable, countering expectations with their affordability. The cozy terrace provides a delightful setting for breakfast, and the dinner options extend this charm with consistently tasty offerings. The standout kantoke dinner, a traditional Thai feast served by the water, is highlighted as a particularly unforgettable experience. Despite a closing time of 8 pm that some find a bit early, the overall dining experience remains a highlight of the resort, attracting not only guests but also their friends from outside to enjoy the good food and splendid views.

Rooms
Nestled in a stunning location by a mesmerizing waterfall, Sukantara Cascade Resort and Spa offers an enchanting escape with its uniquely Thai-style accommodations. The rooms are praised for their spaciousness and traditional Thai decor, providing a rustic charm that is both authentic and beautiful. Guests often describe their accommodations as clean and comfortable, with some highlighting luxurious features like giant spa bathtubs and private balconies that offer fantastic views. The reception area is notably accommodating, ensuring guest satisfaction.

Despite their charm and comfort, there are occasional remarks about the rooms showing signs of aging, suggesting that some facilities might benefit from refurbishment. However, the resort compensates with a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation, making it an appealing choice for those seeking tranquility. Lush gardens and the soothing cascade create a picturesque setting that enhances the overall experience, leaving most guests delighted with the harmonious blend of nature and comfort. The villas and cabins offer a unique and restful retreat, with some rooms providing a dreamlike setting right by the flowing cascade, imbued with a peaceful ambiance that resonates with the essence of exotic Thailand.

Cleanliness
Nestled by a picturesque river, Sukantara Cascade Resort and Spa offers an inviting retreat marked by its beautifully designed and comfortable rooms. Guests frequently note the cleanliness of the rooms, which are consistently well-kept and generously sized, meeting even the most discerning standards. The dedicated staff is frequently celebrated for their friendliness and attentiveness, enhancing the overall guest experience.

However, while the rooms maintain a high level of cleanliness, the broader resort environment seems in need of attention. Many of the common areas and the picturesque surroundings occasionally fall short of expectation, appearing somewhat neglected. Some facilities, such as the bathrooms, show signs of age and require updating, with areas around the waterfall suffering from litter and the presence of mold. The small swimming pool and the abundance of bugs and bird droppings further detract from the hotel's charm.

In summary, while the resort excels in comfort and room cleanliness, alongside a spectacular setting that promotes relaxation and a change of scenery, addressing maintenance issues throughout the complex would significantly enhance the overall guest experience.

Staff
Nestled in a picturesque location, Sukantara Cascade Resort and Spa is renowned not only for its natural beauty but also for its remarkable staff. Guests consistently praise the team for their warm and welcoming demeanor, making visitors feel right at home from the moment they arrive. The staff's kindness is often highlighted, as they are known for being incredibly attentive and responsive to all guest requests, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Each staff member contributes to a welcoming environment, often with cheerful smiles and unparalleled hospitality. With their motivation and genuine desire to please, the team at Sukantara Cascade Resort and Spa is a significant reason why guests are compelled to return and recommend this tranquil haven.

Spa
Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Sukantara Cascade Resort and Spa, the spa offers an inviting escape for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests have lauded the spa for its fantastic services, highlighting the superb scrubs and massages that deliver sublime experiences, making indulgence a rewarding venture. The spa's ambiance is wonderfully relaxing, accentuating the natural beauty of the resort. Despite the allure of the spa's offerings, some visitors have expressed concerns over the pricing, noting it could be seen as inadequately high for what’s provided, especially when compared to similar services offered in Chiang Mai. Clarity regarding treatment costs is occasionally lacking, contributing to mixed feelings about the value. Additionally, operational inconsistencies such as closures without prior information have left some disappointed. For those fortunate enough to enjoy the spa when open, the pleasant jacuzzi adds a touch of luxury to their visit, although the practical aspects such as availability and pricing may affect overall satisfaction.

Pool
Sukantara Cascade Resort and Spa offers a charming setting with beautiful rooms, stunning gardens, and picturesque cascades. The swimming pool area is described by some guests as having a nice size, making it suitable for those looking to unwind, perhaps while working on a laptop or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. While some visitors appreciate the ample space and find the pool to be a nice little spot for relaxation, others note its size as rather small and less inviting for a longer stay. There have been mentions of cleanliness issues, such as mold and duck droppings, which could detract from the experience. Despite these concerns, the pool area seems to provide a peaceful atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Meanwhile, the jacuzzi in the resort is praised for providing a great way to unwind, though it’s worth checking its functionality during a stay. Overall, while the pool might have limitations, the resort itself holds significant appeal with its incredible gardens and tranquil setting.
