Resorts em Pakse

We stayed for six nights at the resort and had a wonderful stay. On arrival we were loaded onto a golf buggy for the short drive to our accommodation. Our room was a very generous size with a large, fan cooled balcony overlooking the well maintained extensive gardens. Some elements of the room and bathroom were a little tired, but for the price we paid and considering the low occupancy of the resort I can understand why upgrading the rooms has yet to happen. After our first night we headed out to find that pushbikes had been delivered to our room, which came in very helpful for getting around the resort. We spent some time at the pool, which is a good length for decent swimming and has a handy poolside bar. It was a shame that the waterslide wasn't functional during our stay, I guess this was down to the low occupancy, but as paying guests it would have been appreciated if they had turned the water on so we could use it! We took advantage of motorbike hire from the resort, there were a number of options available and our bike served us well for the ten minute ride into town and also for trips further afield to the Bolaven plateau, waterfalls and Wat Phu temple. We had breakfast and a number of evening meals at the restaurant. Yes the breakfast has to be ordered the night before, but this really wasn't a problem for us. The service from the waiting staff was good, they were very courteous, just a little nervous. We found this to be an excellent choice for our Pakse stay, being just out of town means it's very peaceful, with uninterrupted views of the surrounding hills and was better value than smaller, city centre hotels.

This hotel is in need of a little TLC which is currently taking place but all the important stuff is there. Soft comfy bed, good aircon, good shower and plenty of hot water. Great views of the river and bridge. Great pool and breakfast in a lovely indoor restaurant. The evening restaurant has fantastic views over the river and a good selection of local and international dishes. The building itself and lobby is very impressive and is immediately visible when entering Pakse. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and attentive, particularly the girls on reception who were very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and it was our favourite hotel in Laos yet very competitively priced.

It is about 3 kilometers from Pakse Airport, tu-tu car 40,000kip, taxi 50,000-80000kip. Long Temple is nearby. The decoration of public areas has a Lao ethnic style.

Very convenient location( 2mins to the big market, clean and very comfortable bed. Wifi is ok. Staff vey nice. Price very reasonable. I have made a mistake in my reservation date that is non refundable, i called the hotel and the kindly accept to change my date. It was for 3 rooms. Thank you. Hotel needs is to be taken care a little bit. Parking spot is kind of limited. Recommend it!

Located at the river Mekong, a bit outside town center. Nice view, but there is a lot of construction work along the river and the area is not very lively. All of Pakxe is in walking distance (restaurants, market, shops), there is a mini-market nearby. Rooms are a bit uncharitable, but ok. Nothing to sit on the balcony and only one chair in the room. Quiet at night, did sleep well.

I felt very welcome and safe as a solo female traveler. I loved the garden and the room. Made me want to stay ”at home” and read a book or enjoy the lovely food Ngoc and her mother makes. The bathroom is spacious, warm shower, the breakfast is good and during the day always a surprise snack/treat which was lovely. The fact that Ngoc actually thought with me and arranged my travel plans made everything so much easier. Thank you so much for everything. I will recommend anyone to stay at this place ❤️🙏 I loved it all

It's okay. . . .

Enjoy my stayed and very beautiful nature waterfall, everythings amazing to see nature. Thank you all staff so helpful and friendly. Welcoming at reception lovely smile. I will be back after this pandemics.

I really enjoyed my stay at Sang Aroun Hotel! The hotel is very good overall, only minor deficiencies. Location of the hotel is prime - right in the centre of ”downtown” Pakse (Pakse is exceptionally small), and within a stone's throw of many restaurants, mini markets, and tourist agencies. The large supermarkets like ”V Market” and ”Friendship Supermarket” are located only about 2 km by foot - I was able to walk to both in less than 30 mins to stock up on bigger supplies. The hotel is also less than 10 mins from the airport by Tuk Tuk, just over the bridge. Location is ideal! Rooms were large and spacious. Rooms were basic, with simple decoration, but clean. Staff were happy to provide basic amenities like an electric kettle, and two coffee mugs, upon request, so I could make coffee in the morning (I don't like 3-in-1 coffee)! The room also had working air conditioning, wifi (but very weak signal in the rooms - only strong in the reception area/ground level floor), and a working fridge. The fridge kept its cool throughout the day, so your drinks were cold when you returned from exploring! Basic toiletries were provided such as 2 little shampoo bottles, shower caps, and bar soap. This was fine for me, as I still had a supply of toiletries I was carrying from other hotels. The hotel also replenished two bottles of water every morning. Housekeeping was fantastic! The cleaning service was wonderful and they provided fresh towels every day. They had changed my linens halfway through my 4-night stay also. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly, and smelled fresh. My only minor complaints would be the shower pressure. It wasn't great, but it was manageable. The shower handle in my room also was broken, so it took awhile to finally shut off the water when I was finished showering. Water was very hot, however. The shower curtain doesn't really contain the water either - so the bathroom floor is filled with water after you take a shower. Common setup in these regions, even if not practical. And finally, the sink water drips onto the floor, leaving large pools of water. Otherwise, the bathroom was fairly clean! Just small pockets of mould and mildew, but I feel like this is due to the humid climate here, and staff do their best to keep it maintained/clean. Staff were just amazing here - from reception to cleaning staff. Very professional, welcoming, and friendly! Happy to help out with any additional requests. For example, one night, my door handle was stuck and I couldn't turn the key to get into my room - reception staff helped me out and then took care to fix the handle so I didn't have the same problems in future! Breakfast buffet was good, depending on your tastes. It's Laos, so they cater towards Asian tastes, which means white rice, hot mixed meat and vegetable dishes, rice stew, fried eggs, and chicken sausages were on offer. There were also some (but limited) Western options like toast with jams and fresh cut fruits (watermelon and dragon fruit). N
