Fodor's Expert Review The River Resort

This gorgeous riverfront boutique resort with outdoor rain-style showers and truly cool air-conditioning is the perfect spot to start or end a southern Laos excursion. A bit north of Champasak Town, secluded from the road, the resort has two swimming pools, a spa, and a fantastic restaurant. Extras include Mekong sunset cruises and trips to the Bolaven Plateau and Si Phan Don.
