Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa, a Royal Hideaway Hotel

We had a fantastic stay at Asia Gardens Hotel & Thai Spa, but the real standout was the food. Every meal felt like an occasion — from the beautifully presented breakfasts to the exceptional Asian and Mediterranean dishes at dinner. The quality, variety, and attention to detail were far beyond what we expected. The setting is peaceful and lush, but it’s the dining that truly makes this place special.

As a family, we were disappointed with our experience, particularly with the bar staff. We felt that every request we made seemed like a hassle, and they were not very accommodating or welcoming. There also appeared to be a language barrier, which resulted in several incorrect drink and food orders throughout our stay. While we appreciate that we were in Spain, we have visited many times before and have never experienced this level of difficulty communicating. To make matters worse, we found expensive items charged to our room that we had not purchased, which was frustrating and took time to resolve. Overall, we didn’t feel particularly welcome during this stay, which was disappointing as we’ve always enjoyed visiting Spain in the past. With friendlier customer service and better attention to detail, our experience could have been much more enjoyable.

We stayed here four nights. The primary issue is they pretend they are a five star hotel. They are not. It's four star. I have noticed this is common in Spain, 4 star hotels are really 3 star hotels, 5 star hotels are 4 star hotels. This certainly isn't in the same class as The Four Seasons, a true 5 star hotel. No comparison, really. The staff is friendly enough, although they were a bit understaffed at reception. The grounds are beautiful, the sense is tranquil calm. You will be relaxed when you leave. The rooms are very large by European standards. The dinner buffet is themed for each night: Italian, Spanish, Middle Eastern, etc. The buffet was of high quality. The service was friendly. We ate at two other restaurants and they were mid tier in taste. Beautifully decorated. The fusion style of cooking doesn't really work. Room service menu was large and 24 hours. The bathrooms were large with a separate tower and tub. The grounds are beautiful and you do feel transported to Thailand. Would I return? Sure, but I would return with the idea that it's a four star hotel and to expect a very nice four star experience. There is a spa, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, multiple swimming pools, a kids club, and plenty to do during the day.

Visually stunning, superb rooms and dining facilities. Somewhat mystified by lack of amenities though. No Hair Salon, no on site shop and no evening entertainment at all. Navigating around the different blocks and many pathways took a little getting used to and the signage was a little vague. Would return but only for a complete disconnect which I guess supports the very Peaceful Zen vibe.

Although this is possibly the most beautiful hotel I have seen with beautiful bedrooms, pools, food & charming staff there is one thing I cannot fathom. Why is there no music in the evening ? Every night I had to leave the hotel after dinner (when I didn't want to leave the hotel) to find some entertainment. I know the ethos is zen but if children screaming can pierce the tranquility then surely a classy singer in a corner of the site would only enhance the stay. Also the hotel shut for a conference while I was there cutting our trip short, very frustrating. That said an almost perfect hotel let down by the dull evenings where only one bar on the massive site opened & no music/ents were an option
