If you are looking for a true romantic hidaway that feels a million miles away from town but in reality is only 10 or 15 minutes away, then this is the resort for you. My girlfriend and I spent 4 lovely nights at Baan Deva Montra the last week of October, 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our driver arranged by the hotel was there to meet us at the airport right on schedule. The grounds of the resort are simply beautiful. We had an excutive pool villa (#302). It was spacious, comfortable and very rustic and romantic. We felt like we were the only ones at the resort. Upon arrival me were met with a lovely welcome drink. The owner Su and her partner gave us personal attention during our entire stay and arranged for transportation for us into town when we needed it (about 500 baht roundtrip to the Sunday Night Market - Do Not Miss this!!!). There was a complimentary breakfast each morning served in a beautiful outdoor setting while quiet jazz played in the background. We also ate dinner and lunch at the restaurant on several occassions and the food and service was always excellent. I especially enjoyed their spaghetti! The beds may be bit hard for many but we prefer a hard bed so it was not a problem for us. The pool was very clean though a bit chilly because of the cool weather when we visited. There is a limited spa menu available but we did not try this service on this trip. They have larger villas for families but not much for the kids to do at the resort besides the pool, but as a romantic getaway you cannot beat it. All in all I would not hesitate to book another stay at this beautiful little gem of a resort!
