THE NAMKHAN RESORT & ECO-FARM

Il s’agit d’une bulle de paradis, un endroit parfait pour vous relaxer et vous détendre. L’hôtel est excentrée du centre - toujours mieux d’avoir un scooter pour se sentir indépendant. Le service est merveilleux et le petit déjeuner à tomber ????

The staffs are very helpful and friendly. The tent are very comfortable and very natural surroundings. The sound of the river is so relaxing. Really a nice and relaxing resort, must try when in Laung Prabang, Laos. Highly recommended

If you want a complete seclusion and quiet, this is the place. We only met 2 other fellow guests in our 3 day stay. Staff is wonderful, bungalows are very nice and grounds are big. The other destinations are not so convenient. Luang Prabang is half an hour away with a big part of the trip on the very bumpy and very dusty dirt road. The Namkhan resort provides a benched tuk tuk commute for free to the town.

We stayed at one of the river front villas. Gorgeous two bedrooms, lounge decks, and dining area. Hot showers, comfy bed. The pool is just a step away and the restaurant is a short walk away as well.

Location is about 15min away from town. There is a free shuttle with limited times - so you might end up having to pay for a tuk tuk if the timing doesn’t work for you.

Food was excellent at reasonable prices (same as in town). Food service was sometimes slow if they happened to be short staffed with cooking classes. Breakfast offered a good selection.

Property offered good cover of amenities - outdoor gym, yoga pavilion, river front lounge areas, games, playground, swing, etc.

Spa treatments were NOT great. Stuffy room, very rustic (small tabletop fans, no AC, poor airflow), none of us could breathe through the massage beds. Masseuses do not seem to be very experienced - we had to give feedback on basic things like adjusting the headrest, lining the face hole with towels, raising the ankles when face down, changing the massage towel after a body scrub before moving into the massage part, using appropriate pressure, etc. My girlfriend had to use the bidet to rinse off the salt. Management said this was because the outdoor showers were under repair. Would have been good to know before hand? Definitely better spa treatments in town for a better price.

App for booking transport and activities were great. Very convenient, although you often get kicked out of the app and need to rescan the QR code. Staff were very helpful and service was excellent - especially with arranging transport and activities.

Vehicles were old though, and we expected something better for the resort. The van we had for one of our waterfall day trips was a bit of a dinosaur. AC was weak and both side doors could only be opened from the outside with some adjustment ‘tricks’.

Overall, great place to stay if you want something quieter away from town, with a range of onsite activities. The sound of wildlife against the backdrop of the running river is simply beautiful.

We had a wonderful time and next time, we'll definitely stay for longer! This was the highlight of our trip - the tents are sublime!

Special thanks to Onsy and the rest of the staff for their hospitality, professionalism and most of all their warmth and friendliness.

Thanks! Bo and Carole
