ViengTara VangVieng Resort

We stayed here for 3 nights in April during the tail end of the New Year festivities. The hotel is located about a 20 minute ride from Vang Vieng railway station and about a 10 minute walk from the town centre. We stayed in one of the deluxe villas which are situated amongst a rice field with stunning views of the surrounding limestone kharsts. The accommodation is accessed from a wooden boardwalk which curves through the rice field. Our villa had a bedroom with large double bed and storage for clothes etc, a separate bathroom with sink, toilet and shower and a large outside decking area with long seating area from which to drink in the stunning views. I recommend getting up early to see the hot air balloons that pass over the hotel each morning. We stayed on a B&B basis and you ordered breakfast from reception the night before from a list of about 4 different choices (including a veggie option) which was then delivered to your decking area at the time of your choice. The food was lovely. There was also a restaurant / bar onsite which we only used for drinks and not food. The staff here was super friendly and really went out of their way to help. They kindly booked us a tuktuk to take us to the Nam Xay viewpoint, and the driver waited for us to complete the climb before bringing us back to the hotel. We also used reception to book us a ride to the railway station. The only down point about our stay and which was outside of the hotel's control, was that every evening from 1630-1030 there was incredibly loud music (and I mean loud) coming from an area behind the hotel. It was likely that this was part of the New Year celebrations but it would be worth checking. All in all we had an excellent stay and would definitely stay here again.

Viengtara Resort offers a unique and tranquil experience with its charming bungalows set amidst lush rice fields. Each bungalow boasts a spacious terrace equipped with a huge couch, providing a perfect spot for relaxation and soaking in the serene views. While the rooms are generously sized, they have a rustic charm as they are not the most modern, adding to the resort's quaint atmosphere. A standout feature is the breakfast service on your own terrace, allowing for a peaceful start to the day. The hotel restaurant's prices are on the higher side, the menu is not great and the quality of food maximum standard - the only pro is the view from the deck. The staff's friendliness and helpfulness is very positive, making guests feel well-cared for. The resort's location is conveniently close to downtown, and with scooter rentals available, guests can explore the surrounding area with ease. Viengtara Resort is ideal for those seeking a comfortable and flexible stay amidst the beauty of Vang Vieng.
