“We stayed in The River Resort mid July 2017, as the starting point of our Laos trip that took us up north from there.
Great, nicely decorated bungalows with terrace or balcony and grand view over the mighty Mekong. Two swimming pools. A good restaurant serving a wide variety of local (and not-so-local) food. All set in a wonderful and well maintained tropical garden.
Great staff that helps you with anything and more – like lending you bikes or fixing you a trip to a nearby or far-away site.
Yes – the place lies somewhat remote from the obvious track; getting there needs some planning. The hotel can help you with that!
Yes – nearby Champasak is a hamlet and everything is hamlet there; no fancy stores and no nightlife. You won’t miss it, sitting on your balcony looking at the river and the sky over it!
Yes – it’s an expensive trip to those Mekong falls (some 100 kms south); once there they charge you for almost every step you take around the place. You’ll forget this once you stand on a ridge watching a billion liters of Mekong water cascading down!
The River Resort is not just a place to stay – it’s an experience!
A perfect start for a Laos trip, or as an ending as well.”
