Luxury Shower Experience

The bathroom was impressively modern, equipped with a fantastic rain shower that had both handheld options. I found it very relaxing and a true pleasure to use. Their toiletries were of high quality and added a nice touch to the experience.

The breakfast was a highlight of my stay with a huge variety of options including Laotian and international foods. I particularly enjoyed ordering from the hot dish menu, which made for a delightful start to each day. I couldn't ask for a better way to fuel up for my adventures!

Entertainment Galore

The entertainment options were fantastic! The room came with Netflix included, which allowed me to relax and enjoy some shows after a day of exploring. Streaming my favorite movies on a big screen made my evenings much more enjoyable.
