We won’t ever forget our stay at Dara Dao! Everything from the amazing, kind staff going above and beyond to make sure you’re happy to the most peaceful surroundings and luxury room. Hopefully one day we will be able to come back again💙
Loved the place. The staff are very lovely. Spent my Birthday and Anniversary in their lovely place. Will definitely be back.
I had a very pleasant stay in this establishment. The staff is very professional, the room was comfortable (the TV placement a little weird but I was not there to watch TV anyway). The house have white curtains and just glass on the top, so you will get sun at 6am, which is a detail but when you want to sleep longer you may not be able due to light. Plenty parking, away from anything so buy your snacks before to go there.
I would give Daradao and its team 6 stars! Stunning views, super stylish and comfortable room, and most of all, amazing service by an excellent team. I loved the peaceful natural surroundings and waking up to the view of Doi Chiang Dao. Would highly recommend (felt perfectly safe as a female solo traveller)
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their hospitality truly stood out, with attentive service that exceeded our expectations. This hotel is an excellent and wonderful choice if you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings provide the perfect retreat for relaxation. Fantastic and amazing experience!
