“We stayed in The River Resort for – unfortunately only – 1 night at the end of July. We were truly amazed by what this hotel has to offer. The welcome was gracious and we were upgraded from a ground floor room to an upper floor room without charge. The room itself was simply beautiful with a private balcony, massive comfortable bed and very stylish decor. We particularly liked the two showers available – one outside and one inside connected by a door. What an unexpected, amazing surprise!
We used the hotels bikes for free to bike to Wat Phu. After an exhausting day outside the calm, relaxed atmosphere of the hotel was exactly what we needed. We had dinner at the restaurant overlooking the river and enjoyed the views of the sunset. The food served was excellent (try the Lao style pork neck!) and our waiter very attentive to our every need. Drinks were delicious as well. Prices are in USD for easier comparison.
The breakfast the next morning was excellent also.
The only minor complaint I have is that at nightfall there seems to be some sort of mechanism in place that emits really loud and high-pitched sounds (presumably to keep mosquitos away in an eco-friendly manner!). We would have chosen to have dinner an hour later if we had known about this feature. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our evening.
We will definitely be returning to this amazing place and recommend a stay for anyone looking for some peace and quiet in this area.”
