Vang Vieng Resort

The resort situated infront of Nam Song River and walking distance to Chang Cave over the red bridge, that was the reason why this resort is chosen in Vang Vieng. The upkeep of this chalet style resort just require some refurbishment, however we are not that particular as the basic facilities is available. Isolate yourself in the afternoon near the riverfront is the best time to unwind over there.

Arrived here having pre-booked and paid via an on-line system. Left 30 minutes later and moved into Jammee guesthouse up the road. The whole place had an atmosphere of neglect and decay. The electrics in our cabin were distinctly dodgy, the mattress was made of concrete and the pillows were heading that way, and there was no Internet service at all. The problem was that having paid on line there was no chance of us getting our money back. However that seemed a price worth paying to go somewhere nicer, and Jammee was fine for us, as well as being cheaper than the Vang Vieng "resort". I would urge readers not under any circumstances to book this place on line. Go and see it before parting with money. Actually I don't think that it will be active much longer. The story locally is that after two recent floods the owners have lost heart, and the place is being run down.

For $10-15/night you really can't go wrong in this location but don't expect a brand new room. They are rustic and could use a facelift but beds were clean and service great. When our daughter hurt her foot they were right there helping and offering to drive us to the pharmacy. The location is brilliant right on the banks of the river with stunning views of the limestone mountains. There are free bikes to use albeit only 1 speed and not in tip top condition. It is nice in that it is on the edge of town but only a 5 minute bike ride to town so best of both worlds. The property is nice with sitting areas around each bungalow but the grounds could be much better with more vegetation and less gravel.
