The restaurant serves really lovely Asian fare, hot and spicy and beautifully presented, the inclusive breakfast was good and varied and the staff are incredibly friendly. We haven't tried the pool yet but it looks lovely nestled on the banks of the Mekong.
Rosy - Frank
Having already been to LP, we knew the hotels and wanted a bit luxery this time. The hotel is like an international hotel which you can find everywhere, but sometimes is good to spoil yourself.
Degoni - Singapore
Nice, big rooms with nice bathrooms. We got a twinbedded room facing Mekong and the bridge. Nice.
