The River Resort

Lovely resort in Pakse which faces the Mekong river so there is a lovely view and breeze! The staff were amazing from the cleaners to the receptionists. I'm sure this resort will get very popular soon as it is a hidden gem. I stayed over Christmas and was able to have the receptionists help me book activities during my stay. I would recommend booking their taxi service from the airport as there are no local taxis available.

It’s outstanding

This is, by Lao standards, a luxury option but worth it for the location/view and the quality of service. Our room was extremely comfortable with stunning balconies, particularly the one overlooking the magnificent Mekong. Likewise, the view from the bar/restaurant is fantastic. The quality of service is first rate, with Reception ever helpful. The availability of complimentary bikes for cycling into the charming town of Champasak was very welcome.

Located directly on the Mekong, the sunrise is a unique experience. The bungalows are more than adequately furnished. There is not the slightest thing to criticise about breakfast and dinner. Many European hotels could take an example from the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire team at this beautiful hotel in front of the Mekong River. A small oasis in Champasak - Laos. Surrounded by a beautiful garden with butterflies, flowers, tranquility and well-being. I would say it is a great place to settle down, it is close to the Vat Phou complex Temple and there is nothing like returning from your visit and relaxing by the pool with a good book and a delicious drink. The staff is full of kindness and does everything they can to make your stay super pleasant.

We had a really relaxing and rejuvenating time at the River Resort in Champasak, Laos, after a gruelling 18 day trip travelling north to south in Laos. We stayed for 2 nights at the River Resort. The hotel is set on the Mekong River with some magnificent views of the river and life on the river. All the staff at the hotel -- from the reception/Management to the Restaurant and room cleaners were lovely polite and very helpful. The Hotel is set a series of Bunglows split in ground floor and top floor - we had the top floor with views of the Mekong and i would seriously recommend the top floor with its balcony and views. Watching the sunset from the balcony with a drink was so tranquil it was surreal. The food and drink was wonderful (I appreciate the veg food, though I wish there were more vegetarian/vegan choices), the bed is so comfortable, the indoor/outdoor shower so nice, the pool was refreshing, the service was attentive they always booked us a table for our lunch and even meals. It is not far from UNESCO World Heritage Site ruins of Wat Phou. The Spa was wonderful and we had a lovely time getting one of their spa treatments as couple. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here and wished we could have spent longer.
