Laos Scuba Diving Vacations

Enjoyed my stay. Difficult with the language barrier. Staff seem timid and not confident in their work. Cocktails were not great.

After a month travelling across SouthEast Asia and staying in numerous 4 and 5 star hotels, this was the best. An excellent stay to conclude my vacation. The staff, facilities, food were of the highest standard. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Ideally located to allow you to work everywhere in Luang Prabang. Exceptional.

We sure enjoyed our stay at the Victoria Xiengthong. The location was near most local attractions. The staff was very attentive to our well-being. Additionally, we were grateful to a surprise upgrade to a wonderful suite. We’d certainly use this facility for our next travel.

The bad: Unless I'm reading this wrong, this place shows up as a 5 star on Expedia. 5 stars is NOT the class for this hotel. I got the deluxe balcony and couldn'tell the difference between any of the rooms, so if you're gonna stay, maybe have them show the difference between the rooms, so you know what you're getting, (mine didn't have the white soffit shown in the pic, so maybe it wasn't the right room?). We got Lao massage, and would certainly not do that there again. There was no strength put into it, it was more of a rub than a massage. It's a tiny, tiny room. The balcony is the walkway up to your room (it does have sitting furniture on it, which is nice). The good: The bed is super comfortable.

Incredible team, beautiful property.

Nice property, the various restaurants in particular were very nice and food was really good although some items were extremely overpriced. I live in Hawai'i and some of the prices were the same as at home which shocked me. Restaurant staff was phenomenal, warm and friendly. I would not stay there again though simply because of the location - not convenient at all and kind of in an odd spot, honestly. It is right on the river but it's not particularly scenic and It's a 15 minute taxi ride to any of the major tourist sites. The hotel does provide a free shuttle to the night market but there are numerous hotels right there you could choose instead.

A spectucular location with great views from the east bank of the Mekong River of the broad river, boats on it, and the surrounding karst mountains in the near distance beyond. Peaceful and beautifully maintained acres of landscaped gardens. Historic home of former revered Lao Prince. Good AC, wifi, shower or tub bath. Pool was wonderful with very nice chaise lounges and umbrellas but only about 8 of them, not enough if there are many people using it. Very good food options, both western and Southeast Asian. Some issues with food needing to be brough on trays from seperate kitchen, some dishes arrived only warm. Lovely decor. Cable TV is not all that good, less than strong signal, only a few channels in English. Free shuttle service seven times a day into LP city 2.5 miles away. Friendly service, Stephen the operations manager very helpful and speaks good English. Limited English from the friendly staff. Well managed and clean.

Beautifully decorated and appointed heritage style boutique hotel with many nice touches such as free drinks in the room. Good breakfast choices in riverside restaurant. Very helpful staff willing to arrange personalized excursions.
