The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant's open-air sala with a diverse menu. The breakfast buffet was good, featuring a selection of juices, fruits, and homemade unsweetened yogurt. I particularly loved the Tom Kha Kai, which was excellent. The welcoming attitude of the wait staff made dining even more enjoyable.

Really good Spa Treatments

I treated myself to an aromatherapy massage at the small but beautifully furnished spa. The experience was incredibly relaxing and left me feeling rejuvenated. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful scenery.

Amazing Room Views

My room was spacious and featured large balcony doors that opened up to stunning views of the Mekong River. I loved having both an indoor and an outdoor shower, which added a unique touch to my stay. Waking up to the sunrise was a highlight of the trip.
