Tad Fane Resort

The hotel is very nicely located. The accommodations are quite simple cabins. The hotel staff is nice but linguistically overwhelmed, unmotivated and not at all helpful. Dinner at the restaurant was bland and unimaginative. Leg breakfast was missing the fruit. We're not staying here a second time.

We relied on Google to take us to Tad Fane Waterfalls and it took us here where we paid 20,000 kip per person to get in and 5,000 kip to park our rented motorcyle. I love the sound of the birds as soon as we got into the resort. The trees are tall and provided a lot of shade. There are bungalows for overnight stay too. We reached the deck and saw Tad Fane down below, it was underwhelming. We were so far away when we expected to be down where the water is. We tried to ask the staff if we can hike down but they said "no". We're also way up so it might take hours to hike. There's a pricey zipline on top of the waterfall for $35/person. Interestingly, they also offer ziplining with coffee where they send you over with a table ($60) and overnight stay at the zipline ($200). We left after taking a fee photos. Nothing else to do. There's souvenir shops on the way out.

Located at km 38 Paksong, Highway 16E from the city of Pakse. You have to drive 500m red dirt road to this resort. Entrance fee is 10,000 Kip / person and 5,000 Kip / motorbike. This is a great place to admire the Tad Fane waterfall, along with a coffee shop counter and rows of wooden chairs and swings. We did not choose to stay here because it was far from the city center and I found that decision completely correct. Staff do not speak English, they are also very indifferent, not welcoming guests. Buying a bottle of water and settleing the bill is really a big challenge when we cannot understand each other, they are really not acumen in prediction, which is very difficult in communication. I was worried that if we had a problem during the stay, it would be almost impossible for them to understand and resolve the problem.
