It was better than I had expected, even after reading the reviews. The quality and range of food was excellent. The service was very good. The setting, views and design of the rooms was amazing. Loved the outdoor shower. Plenty of activities available and everyone was friendly and happy.

All quiet at the river bank
Super service with a smile. The whispering sound of silence. Delicious food. A splendid room.

We only stayed one night, during our Elephant Park Experience; this should have been longer! The lodges are splendid, all with a beautiful river view. The management had a very problem solving attitude concerning a booking discussion, and gave proof of the best service attitude possible. All staff members were friendly and helpful. So, we regretted to have booked only for one night in this resort, and advice you to stay at least a few days here.

Before arriving I had an extensive email correspondence with the manager about activities during our stay and lodging request (calm bungalow). Rapid and clear responses.
Once arriving we were well received and had three very nice days. It worked out very well with our child, at the time 9 months. We could even have nice calm dinners as the staff happily took care of the child while eating.
We took part in two well-arranged outings: one combined hike and kayaking (without the child), and a second combined village visit, boating and Taed Sae. Both are recommended.

Peaceful haven - very restful
Spacious bathrooms, good restaurant on-site
8.3
Located 30-40 minutes away from the town of Luang Prabang, Lao Spirit Resort is a great place to stay for those who have already seen most of Luang Prabang, and wish to enjoy a peaceful respite in the jungle. The architecture of the bungalows is beautiful, and each has a private deck facing out to the river - suitable for those long afternoons spent reading or doing nothing. Don't expect any wifi reception in the bungalows though - you have to go to the reception area itself for that, or a certain part of the restaurant.
The on-site restaurant is pretty good, and offers a variety of Lao favourites and a few Thai-inspired dishes at reasonable prices.
The reception even provides yoga mats upon request!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Lao Spirit Resort offers various kinds of activities/treks, as well as a wonderful massage experience.

Very nice experience, good rooms, tasteful bathrooms, well-kept garden, good food and wonderful service in organising hikes, excursions and transport.
Ideal to relax, enjoy nature and have a quiet week-end with a bit of luxury. Nice atmosphere, very family and child-friendly. Stunning views at the river or the mountains around.

Very very quiet setting but not much to do
7.3
We stayed here after 2 days in the town. It is very quiet, and it's a long way from anything, so be prepared for a quite stay. If you want peace and quiet, then this is the place for you. If you want the interaction of people, like we do, then it's not for you. There are only 6 cabins on site, and you only ever meet at breakfast, lunch or dinner. The resturant is open all day, so you may not see anyone when you go for your meal.
The rooms are. Very comfortable, and the shower under the stars is amazing. You can have an outside shower und the stars, and it's truly magical. The bath is not very good. It takes a very long time to fil, as he pressure is low, so it's not really practical to have one, unless you have time on your hands.
Their is a Geko that lives between the rood void of number 1 cabin. It's very nosiey, and ocean be a little freighting, if you don't know what it is. You soon get use to the sound though, and you may never see it anyway. It's actually quite endearing aftter a while.
I is near the river, so make us yo put on mossie protection. We went on a 4km trek, which was enjoyable but hot. Ensure you have long trousers for the trek and protect your arms from the hear and nettles.
Its a great place to chill out and do nothing. The food at the resturant is not too bad, but if like us, you are veggie, then the choice is a bit limited.
Overall though, good stay, although lacked atmosphere.

i did a half day trekking to khum village and tat sae waterfall arranged by the hotel. the guide was good and i enjoyed it very much.
Travel tip:
I stayed in the center of Luang Prabang for 3 nights and then 2 nights here.

Beautiful Bungalows, great views, nice food.
Lack of another restaurant to choose from.

Bungalow was clean, comfortable with a private balcony overlooking the river. It is a wonderful retreat.
I enjoyed having no TV, no phone but at the same time an option to use Wi-fi in reception to stay in touch with the outside world.
Staff were always willing to help and please.
Breakfast was great with fresh baguettes and mulberry jam, or Lao noodles plus good coffee andd fresh fruit.
Evening meals used fresh local produce and was of a good standard (Lao and European).
Massage was good.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
We did the guided 2-3 hour walk to a village and then Tad Sae waterfalls it was excellent. The guide had good English and wide local knowledge; food, water and towels for the swim at the waterfalls were carried by the guide. Large numbers of butterflies, being able to talk to local villagers via the guide and seeing how the land was farmed for the different types of rice and wood were some of the many highlights.
