Our stay here was absolutely magical! The resort offers stunning views of the Mekong River, and the gardens are beautifully maintained, creating a serene atmosphere. Our villa was modern and well-equipped, though I would have liked a bit more storage space. The restaurant had a fantastic menu, but the service, while friendly, could be slightly improved in terms of attentiveness. Overall, this place provides great value for a memorable getaway.

Our stay at this resort was truly lovely, with breathtaking views of the Mekong River and beautiful grounds filled with rice paddies. The rooms were modern yet comfortable, offering a great ambiance. The service was excellent but could have been more attentive at times. The dining options were good, though slightly on the pricey side compared to local eateries. Overall, it was a tranquil getaway, perfect for relaxation, but I wish there had been more storage in the room and perhaps more efficient transport for nearby attractions.

The River Resort offers a serene getaway with beautiful river views and well-maintained gardens. The breakfast is plentiful, and the pools provide a nice touch for relaxation. However, the service felt a bit impersonal, and while the dining options are good, the prices can be on the higher side. Overall, it’s a nice place for a peaceful retreat, but improvements in staff engagement would really elevate the experience.

This resort is truly a hidden gem along the Mekong River. The beautifully designed bungalows provide a serene atmosphere, making it the perfect getaway. While the breakfast was solid, I found the water pressure in the shower quite low, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it's a beautifully tranquil setting perfect for relaxation, just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Pakse.
