Romantic Hotels in Pakbeng

Neziaazmi Malaysia

Remember Shangri-La, that fictional place where it was like heaven on earth? That's what it felt like. Please please stay here if you can. We're pretty bummed we only stayed one night. We booked this place for our one-night lodging in between the two-day slow boat ride on the Mekong from Luang Prabang to Huay Xai (which is highly recommended, btw). The pictures were pretty good, but man, the actual place was even more breathtaking. The view of the Mekong was out of this world. We were so taken that the first 10 minutes we got to our room all we did was stare at the view and pleasant-curse at how insanely beautiful everything was. This place was built and designed by some very very thoughtful architects and designers. The room was nearly all teak, making it warm and cool at the same time. Beds were comfy. And the layout was very cool. Staff was super attentive and gracious even though we were the only ones there (COVID really depleted number of visitors). We didn't want to make them cook dinner just for us so we went into town for food (it was a wonderful short walk with the starry night sky above us). The breakfast the next morning was very delicious. They even cooked us some fried rice and noodles to take on our boat ride from Pak Beng to Huay Xai. We want to come back. If you're looking for a quiet refuge to just escape it all or finally work on that writing project or whatnot, choose this place.
