The Narittaya was our second stop after a retreat in the mountains. Scenary-wise, the first resort in the mountains was more lush, breath-taking but we were won over by the organic herb and food gardens here, all of which is used in the cooking. Food is local fusion and delightfully tasty. Most impressive is the thought given to the newly-designed kitchen - energy-efficient layout, bins for individual recycling, composting, mostly-glass windows so it is airy and clean. Kudos to Terry and team. This is one kitchen that you can peek into and smile. Breakfast buffet options are smaller than large hotels but sufficient and love the egg-on-the-spot option. It is a good 30-45 mins into the city but we were here for a retreat so going to the city was not a rush. Taxis can be booked from the hotel so that's easy. A gem is the spa resort - do go for the complementary Chi Nei Tsang with Hitomi. It is an-hour-or-so-long session to remove energy blockages from your body, so it can be painful and revealing of certain trapped emotions inside you. If you are open to this, Hitomi will explain the process and results carefully. We enjoyed our stay.
