Le Grand Pakbeng

This Resort is set upon a rise with specular views looking down onto the Mekong River. From our room and balcony, we were able to enjoy this vista through the leafy trees. The whole complex nestles into the landscaped gardens, with the Restaurant and pool at the top. Our room was spacious spotlessly clean and well air conditioned. We were able to dine under the sky with great views, the food was well prepared and Menu extensive. Staff were young and just so attentive and personal all overseen by Sharif the Manager who is the Resorts number one asset. Le Grand also offer part and full day tours.

I stayed one night coming from a boat tour on the Mekong. The hotel itself is amazing - stunning location, great sunset, nice pool area. The rooms were spot on, good beds, rain showers, well-equipped. This is definitely a good place to relax a few days on a trip through Laos. On the contrary, the staff of the hotel didn't really speak English and was not exactly friendly. The continental breakfast options were rather poor. Also, they charged $10 for a TukTuk ride to town, which was quite a bit overpriced given that it's like 2km away.

Like virtually everyone who stops in Pakbeng, I was here strictly as an overnight on a Mekong cruise. The hotel is a bit of absolutely lovely luxury in truly the middle of nowhere (with apologies to Pakbeng). The hotel has transportation ready to go to make the quick trip from your boat to the hotel. Check in is unusually well organized, which is a real blessing, given that a fair number of people arrive at once, who are tired, and want to settle into their room. The rooms are simply lovely. Beautiful wooden floors. Very comfortable beds. Extremely nice bathrooms. The rooms have AC and fans to boot. Everything is extremely clean. Outside each room is a little sitting area with a view of the Mekong and the entire hotel is situated with a spectacular view just above it. I had both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Dinner is a set course meal that was lovely and fit the ticket perfectly. Very high-quality food but also didn’t take too long after a long day. Breakfast is a very nice buffet. I believe you could also get eggs or pancakes made too. The hotel has a small pool with a great view. Sadly, I didn’t get the chance to use it. I suspect this is common with guests who arrive late on the boat and leave early the next morning. I should mention that the hotel manager is completely on top of everything at this place. He really deserves full marks for making sure everything runs like clockwork, and is truly lovely in a place where I suspected as far from easy to do so. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lives up to its name. The room was lovely. Seperate little chalet type with own outside terrace. The shower room overlooks the Mekong river with superb views. Unfortunately the pool was closed due to some problem. Had a lovely meal in the restaurant and the breakfast was also very nice. Staff very friendly and even knew your name which makes it that more special.

Wow, if you are taking the slow boat from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang, this is the place to stay for your overnight in Pakbeng. Beautiful complex, immaculate, well-appointed rooms with drop dead gorgeous views over the Mekong, good food and a pretty spectacular infinity pool to watch the sunset. The entire staff was great and the general manager checked in with us personally to ensure we were happy -- which we were!

Location location! Stunning views from the bedroom & small balcony overlooking the Mekong River. Excellent infinity swimming pool with bar facilities. Huge bedroom with large shower & separate toilet. (No TV but we didn't want one). Fabulous dinner & reasonable breakfast boxes as we were on a 2 day Mekong cruise. Would have loved to stay longer!
