"Staying at this resort was the last stop of our Laos trip and we spent a very unforgettable two nights. We liked it here better than the hotels in the town. Room equipment: We stayed in a tent by the river. We had to zip it up when entering and exiting to prevent mosquitoes. In addition to asking for a toothbrush, we had to ask for it from the front desk. There is no phone, all communication relies on the resort's own app, and other facilities are complete.
Activity experience: During the stay, I paid to experience kayaking, sunset cruise and massage. The experience of kayaking is great. The guide is very professional and the scenery along the way is beautiful. It takes two hours in total and the price is 25$/person (excluding service fee). The sunset cruise is a long-tail boat. There are only guides and boatmen, and there are no other tourists along the way. The scenery is quiet and beautiful, about 45 minutes, 18$/person, including a cocktail. We also experienced the 42$/person boat ride on the Mekong River. In comparison, each boat has its own characteristics.
Catering: The vegetables are all grown by ourselves, the prices are reasonable, the taste is very good, and the Western and local cuisines exceed expectations.
Travel: The resort is close to the airport, a ten-minute drive from the town, and a 20-minute drive from the train station. There is a free tutu bus to pick up and drop off. The frequency is not too many, and there are also motorcycles for rent (of course the price is much higher than in the town).
In short, if I come to Luang Prabang next time, I will still choose this place."
