Stunning place in beautiful location

What a stunning place to stop... Beautiful beach front room with private patio are. Room was very large and loved the bathroom overlooking a small private planted courtyard. the view across the lake from the pool is amazing and a great place to relax. food was very good and the spa massage was also very good. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. we had the inclusive package which was amazing value for what we paid

Beautiful design villas waterfront

Extraordinary stay : full equiped design boutique villas with views on the lake. kayak on the site for a very low rental rate. Fancy pool and helful staff. They do their best to accomodate you in this remote location away from all the noise from the Vang Vieng loud crew. 15 km away from it all. La paix et la tranquilitรฉ.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for two nights and wish weโ€™d had a third! We were so glad we picked to stay here - the setting is beautiful and it was great to get a better feel of the countryside of Laos rather than just the cities. Perfect place to chill. If your main reason for going to the area is to do activities in vang vieng I would stay in the city itself as it is quite a long taxi drive (about 40 mins) but if you want a relax and occasional activity in Vang Vieng then this is perfect. Staff were all lovely, in particular the operations manager was so helpful and sorted any issues we had straight away. Good massage and food was good and reasonably priced for a hotel. We rented a kayak (not expensive) on the lake which was also really nice to do. Maybe wear a flip flop for arrival if itโ€™s just been rainy season!

Aucun regret de ces 3 nuitรฉes que nous conseillons vivement, juste assez loin de la dรฉjantรฉe, bruyante et alcoolisรฉe Vang vieng. c รฉtait dรฉcidรฉment le bon choix. Merci particulier ร  Mรฉlissa pour l organisation prรฉalable, et au manager Alexandre, disponible, ouvert, professionnel et sympa. Merci enfin ร  Thรฉo pour sa ballade sur le lac avec un lieu de baignade juste magique. Dรฉcouvrez enfin les environs, et cet รฉtonnant sanctuaire pour animaux juste derriรจre le parking. Prenez un jet ski et รฉclatez vous sur ce lac plein de charmes. Vous avez rendu ce sรฉjour magnifique.

Special ****

Special spot. We changed our plans and left Vientiane a day early, got a rental pick up truck and drove to Nam Ngum lake. Best. Decision. Ever. The area is gorgeous and natural. The hotel is beautiful. The rooms are individual bungalows with private porches. We were on honeymoon and the management went out of their way to help us celebrate by giving us a complementary drink and a room upgrade. The view from the rooms is extraordinary -especially at sunset. The restaurant was very good. Floating swimming pool was really awesome. Do yourself the favor and book for a few nights at the Sanctuary, we wished we could have stayed longer!

Will return

Likely the best place to stay in the area and would stay again. Only critique was smell in the bathroom/shower room. If the fans were off there was a residual smell from the sceptic tank. Not much they could do about it though and with the fans on it was manageable. The room was clean, staff was very pleasant and helpful and we plan to return.

The staff is super friendly and beautiful hotel

The staff was very helpful and friendly all the time ! The hotel is around 20min from the city center by car but the hotel has free shuttle twice a day . The rooms are very clean and big. There are many activities to do : kayak, boats, swimming pool in the river, etc. The hotel also helps you to book the best tours and transport to everything . The food is also nice at the hotel (fried fish with traditional sauce is the best) and if you prefer โ€œregularโ€ food there are good hamburgers and nuggets. In general it was an excellent experience !

isolation more than sanctuary (potential not met)

I think there is a lot of potential in this resort, but it hasnโ€™t met it. It seems like the bare bone of what it can be. Currently itโ€™s less of a sanctuary and more of an isolation with not much to do. If you are looking for just a clean bed with a nice view, then this is the place for you. For others, it might be better to find something closer to town. drive to main town area is 30 minutes (which is manageable) but the hotel OVERCHARGES for the ride back and forth. Wifi is very weak throughout the resort other than the lobby. First room they put me in had no wifi signal at all. Positives: great view. Clean bed.

Good but not much to do around the resort. The pool was too cold to swim in. The rooms were nice but definitely need to put in shelving so that all your luggage is not all over the floor

Hotel reservation I decided to cancel

Before I even begin my review, I wanted to point out that my previous review was removed along with any other recent reviews of this hotel, thus you only see 2 reviews and 5.0 rating. :o) Despite what you may see in photos, you may realize otherwise when you visit this hotel property. It was not good enough for my stay. It was not clean enough and too far away from town. If you wanted to eat or massage elsewhere, you would have to drive into town for 30-40 minutes on poor road condition. I travel quite often and I would rate this hotel 2.5, 3 at the most. After visiting the hotel, I've contacted Expedia to cancel my reservation, but the hotel refused based on its policy. As a VIP member, I never had any problem cancelling my reservation, but the general manager of this hotel was more focused on following its policy, rather than wanting to find out the reason for my cancellation and how he can accommodate to provide very best customer service. Good hotel with good management is always interested in how to best serve its customers' needs to provide a memorable stay and I did not see that here. There are far better hotels in town if you want to experience VangVieng.
