A magical place. Following an intense work period and long journey, i arrive at Belmond to welcoming smiles and drumming. Gracious and affable check-in is followed by a Baci ceremony where the shaman explained the Laotian belief that a soul could leave one’s body (it had) and by ritual we restored our souls do ourselves. Then through the beautifully gardened grounds to a large, luxuriously appointed room with a view of the Luang Prabang valley. Terrific made to order breakfasts (not a buffet) including Laotian, Eastern, and Western dishes is eagerly and proudly served by the familial staff. Had cocktails and delicious snacks at the weekly cocktail party talking with very interesting life of the general manager (Salim?) The social and the quiet pools are fantastic, the massage great. Peng, the bartender who doesn’t drink, stirred up interesting concoctions. An ap and a van made everything easy. I applaud Belmond for aiding Myanmar staff with opportunities in Laos while that country is stressed. The staff was more welcoming than my own mother on a trip home. Not only did the beauty and friendliness return a weary travelers would to his body, but the experience elevated my spirit. A remarkable place of warm-hearted, inviting people. Highly Recommend.

Setting, property are amazing. Spa (main reason we stayed here) was really nice. Food unfortunately was a let down, much below standard of some of the nicer Lao restaurants in town (Manda de Laos in particular). Telephones were also down which did not really bother us but a bit strange for a 5*+ property. Next time would probably just go to the Spa and stay in town or at rosewood.
