Pakpo Hotels with Gym

I'm only now writing up our trip to Laos in April 2017 (!) and need to write about the Eco Lodge outside Vang Vieng. We stayed at Pi Mai Lao. It was a magical experience away from the new year madness. Clean rooms, on the river... great food in the riverside indoor/outdoor dining room. Stunningly beautiful location and really helpful owner and friendly staff. We rented bikes to begin with but then took a tiny motorbike and went exploring. It was a major highlight of our trip and I wish we had stayed longer but we couldn't. Two nights and days of heaven in the mountains.

Great, a very unique experience. The fried rice made by the landlord is delicious. The big black dog is very well-behaved. The male owner can speak English, but not Chinese. The bedroom environment is very good. The only small drawback is that one or two trains will pass by at night. . The male host will help me book a travel package and take us to the city in the morning.

The hotel is a little away from the city centre. Clean but not super neat. I stay there with kids which I found the place is not very suitable for me since they allowed their guest to use large speakers until 11 pm and it was in front of my tent. I told them to manage but I lastly need to get involve and confront them myself to sort it out. Not very well managed on this matter but they tried to do everything to apologize in the morning. The hotel was ok the view was exceptional only if they manage this a little bit better would be superb place to stay. [I stayed there late of the year it might be the party timing may or may not occur all the time of the year]
