Rosewood Luang Prabang

We have stayed at some of the most beautiful and best hotels in the entire world, but honestly upon arrival, it was overwhelming as everything is just so photogenic and stunning! We have stayed at many Bill Bensley hotels in the past, but this one is handsdown our favourite. I restore historic properties as a hobby, so typically love as old as possible with as much character and charm retained, and this was built to look in the traditional Laotian design - along a river/waterfall. Elephant bar is directly over the river and absolutely beautiful, has such old world charm. We had a waterfall pool villa and honestly sitting outdoors every night was magical. The food was great, and my boyfriend bonded with a cat that came around every night so would give it leftovers of my fish (sure the hotel did not appreciate that since the cat tracked paw prints everywhere outside). They take you to town upon demand, which we did not take advantage of, so we stayed a couple days afterwards in town which was of course extremely charming, and as they do not have a gym on site, they have an agreement with a property nearby so my boyfriend was able to use their gym every day whilst at Rosewood. Also, they have a private boat which they can take you out on, which was such a wonderful experience! It was our first visit to Laos and I know it will not be our last.

Absolutely spectacular resort. Please, do not waste any time looking - this is by far the very best in every which way. From the moment you arrive and until you leave, you're surrounded in nature and pampered like nowhere else. The property is submerged in womders, from narltural waterfall to jungle flowers. You must visit this place to fully appreciate. One thing that, IMHO, they should have in every room/bungalow, is a TV set. When I brought it up to hotel staff, they told me that the resort wants guests to be close to nature. Come on, if this is the case, disconnect internet and phones! This resort deserves 5 🌟 +

Lost world ⛳️ surrounded by amazing nature. The hotel is history, in general, when you hear the name Rosewood, you immediately think about the service and the little things in every detail. This hotel is special with a rich history, with a beautiful partially well-maintained area and a mini-private outdoor pool, with a small number of rooms, each room is designed in different designs. Worn up by time. The most important thing in the hotel is the service and it leaves much to be desired. The employees were slow and forgetful, as if they were just learning or students, although everyone looked to be over 30+. The main restaurant 🍽️ was bad, the menu was very scarce and organic, some positions were not available, the service left much to be desired by the employees, then they disappeared as in the game and constantly confused the whole order with memory, they obviously had problems. No one asked about allergens and brought my pregnant wife a spicy 🌶️ sauce, although we notified the waiter that we couldn’t spicy 🚫 we are in a position, but he can see he just ignored it. Serving 🍽️ was strange or it was not as such. The dishes are old. Submission of dishes without clarification. The serving of dishes is very boring 😑 The quality of the dishes is very mediocre. The waiters don't know the menu at all. Some popular items from the menu were not available, to which the waiter said, well, we just have stale meat 🥩 chicken 🍗 is also stale!? How can such a hotel have stale products? Strange restaurant policy. Waiting for food is a bit long. The general WC 🚾 at the main restaurant was just terrible, and even one ☝️ for everyone, cleaning left much to be desired. In general, the claim is only for the service and restaurant, everything else is beautiful, authentic, but a little 🤏 tired. Gym is missing. There is no entertainment for children. 10 minutes to the cent by car. The atmosphere of forgotten luxury lost in the strange hotel management. Good luck everyone 🍀
