What a fabulous hotel is the Pakbeng Sanctuary Lodge. A stunning view over the Mekong River, beautiful rooms and a lovely bar/ restaurant.
There are 2 areas, the lower with superior rooms, a restaurant and swimming pool, and the upper with deluxe rooms and suites, also with a separate restaurant.
We were upgraded to a suite and it was luxurious.
The food is lovely and the drinks cold. The included breakfast was tasty.
