About
Cooldowns Resort
Cooldowns Resort sits in Mae Rim, a short drive from Chiang Mai’s old town. The property is 3-star rated, and its location—set among rice fields and hills—gives it a distinctly peaceful feel. There’s an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, and a terrace, plus a restaurant and bar for meals without leaving the grounds.
Rooms are split into five types—Cottage, Suite, Family, Deluxe, and Executive—each with a sitting or dressing area, a mini-bar, and a flat-screen TV. Free internet is available across the property, and the front desk can arrange car hire, laundry, and room service. The resort is non-smoking throughout, and pets are allowed, which is a nice bonus for those travelling with animals.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Attentive, caring staff — Guests consistently mention the helpfulness of the team, including going out of their way to find food for a tired traveller and ensuring everyone is comfortable.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Outside Chiang Mai centre — You’ll need transport to reach the old town and main sights—not ideal for those who want to be in the middle of the action.
- Lower guest rating than your average — The property’s overall rating of 8.3 is below the area’s average of 8.6, suggesting it’s decent but not the top pick in the region.
- Limited review volume — With only four reviews, the feedback is anecdotal—your experience might differ, and it’s harder to gauge consistency.
- No explicit parking info — There’s no detail on parking availability, so if you’re driving, you may need to ask ahead.

8.3Verified guest“Service was excellent and the mountain views from my room were lovely. Breakfast had a wide selection and was very good. The location suits anyone wanting to be away from the busy centre but close enough to popular attractions.”
8.3Verified guest“After a long day of riding, the manager went out of their way to find us food and make sure we were comfortable. The hotel blends modern and traditional architecture, and all the facilities felt new. The hot shower and air conditioning worked perfectly. The location felt safe, next to the local police station, and close to sights.”
8.3Verified guest“I stayed over Easter weekend, surrounded by green rice fields. The views of the mountains were amazing, and the beds were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and the coffee was excellent. The location is handy for waterfalls and an elephant sanctuary, and the quiet setting was a perfect escape from the city.”
