ViengTara VangVieng Resort

We stayed here for 3 nights in April during the tail end of the New Year festivities. The hotel is located about a 20 minute ride from Vang Vieng railway station and about a 10 minute walk from the town centre. We stayed in one of the deluxe villas which are situated amongst a rice field with stunning views of the surrounding limestone kharsts. The accommodation is accessed from a wooden boardwalk which curves through the rice field. Our villa had a bedroom with large double bed and storage for clothes etc, a separate bathroom with sink, toilet and shower and a large outside decking area with long seating area from which to drink in the stunning views. I recommend getting up early to see the hot air balloons that pass over the hotel each morning. We stayed on a B&B basis and you ordered breakfast from reception the night before from a list of about 4 different choices (including a veggie option) which was then delivered to your decking area at the time of your choice. The food was lovely. There was also a restaurant / bar onsite which we only used for drinks and not food. The staff here was super friendly and really went out of their way to help. They kindly booked us a tuktuk to take us to the Nam Xay viewpoint, and the driver waited for us to complete the climb before bringing us back to the hotel. We also used reception to book us a ride to the railway station. The only down point about our stay and which was outside of the hotel's control, was that every evening from 1630-1030 there was incredibly loud music (and I mean loud) coming from an area behind the hotel. It was likely that this was part of the New Year celebrations but it would be worth checking. All in all we had an excellent stay and would definitely stay here again.

We spent 2 nights in a villa, with our own private deck, overlooking the rice fields and limestone karsts behind. The outlook is stunning and it's hard to take your eyes away from it. The room is very nicely set up, though not huge. Nice bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer. Tea and coffee making facilities and fridge with complimentary bottles of water, 2 x cans of soft drinks and 2 x cans of beer, replenished each day. Safe and tv. You choose your breakfast option the night before and it is brought to your villa, at your requested time, to eat on your decking. The restaurant food looked good but expensive. There are other places to eat within walking distance. A premium place to stay but at a premium price. But for a short stay, it's worth it for the experience.

Viengtara Resort offers a unique and tranquil experience with its charming bungalows set amidst lush rice fields. Each bungalow boasts a spacious terrace equipped with a huge couch, providing a perfect spot for relaxation and soaking in the serene views. While the rooms are generously sized, they have a rustic charm as they are not the most modern, adding to the resort's quaint atmosphere. A standout feature is the breakfast service on your own terrace, allowing for a peaceful start to the day. The hotel restaurant's prices are on the higher side, the menu is not great and the quality of food maximum standard - the only pro is the view from the deck. The staff's friendliness and helpfulness is very positive, making guests feel well-cared for. The resort's location is conveniently close to downtown, and with scooter rentals available, guests can explore the surrounding area with ease. Viengtara Resort is ideal for those seeking a comfortable and flexible stay amidst the beauty of Vang Vieng.

Beautiful property set in carefully maintained rice fields with Karst Mountains behind. Villas were quite comfortable with private balcony with great view. The villa on the end probably has the best view. Bordwalks took us to our villa and a comfortable area to view the mountains. The staff was very accommodating and served some of our meals in the viewing area. Balloons flew over at sunset and again at sunrise. Service and food was good.

While the room was being prepared we had a wonderful view towards the rice fields and the Villas. Getting to our room though we had to learn quickly that this one had nothing to do with the beautiful pictures in the hotel‘s description. The balcony was facing a smelly water pond with a busy street just behind it. Further you could also hear every word spoken in the neighbouring rooms. The breakfast was very nice though and other than in older descriptions all staff was very nice and friendly! But for a price of 100€ per night you get a room that is not worth half of it.

Before making decision, the previous reviews are negative feedback. However, I select this because of stunning view which I can relax and spend my time with family all day. The hotel and new management team who just joined recently are superb. Starting from helping me arrange the tuk tuk for arrival and departure to the train station. I was so surprised that every staff including new management team (K Ing, K ton and K Too) setup a great BBQ for my surprise BD. All of them are so friendly with fully service mind by checking our plan and recommend the place to visit as well as arrange tuk tuk for us. The breakfast is wonderful and served at the villa. Imagine we has breakfast everyday in front of stunning view. We also try some lunch at the hotel is also amazing delicious. Asking for the far villa for quiet, peaceful and relax with stunning view from the room. The amenities in the bathroom is excellent and align with the rice farm. I believe that it is nearly organic and should be available to purchase. I would strongly recommend to go there. Especially, who loves nature. Beautiful indeed.
