We stayed for 8 nights at the resort. The owners and staff are lovely and very willing to help in all ways. The food is quite good, though the menu is rather small. Our kids loved the monkeys, dog, and talking birds. They were a real treat. I think, however, that the prices are very high for Lao. We did... More

We stayed at the Zen Nhamkhan Resort for two days and two nights at the end of March 2013. It was disappointing to say the least: - Despite confirming a date, time and place of pickup in two emails with Moon, the driver failed to turn up. After two reminder phone calls and 40 min later, the driver finally arrives... More

Dear Guest, I would like to add to the comments you sent us on the disaster dinner! ‘Because of this bit overcrowded they offered to replace the wine, but for us it was fine and they were nice enough to reduce 50% the price of a bottle of wine. They offered me a free appetizer and free transportation to town... More

We arrived at the Zen at the midpoint of our 32 day tour of Vietnam/Laos, 7 of which were in Luang Prabang. Take advantage of the pricing and stay for at least 4 nights as we did. Once you find great serenity and relaxation in such a beautiful place why would you want to leave? Luc kindly recommended “Serenity” (name... More

The setting is really beautiful. Gorgeous views over the pool to the mountains. We had a villa that was quite big and interesting..with an outdoor shower - remember to shower before dark :), and again amazing view. The terrace was nice, with wooden chairs that were not too comfy. Wish they invested in some pillows so you could actually sit... More
