Xuanmai Garden Resort

This place is great for relaxing in Pakse! The lady who runs this place, Ngoc, is a great host and speaks excellent English! You are truly well looked after at this resort and they can keep your luggage stored whilst going on the Bolaven Plateau Loop!
We arrived very early in the morning from Vientiane on the night bus, and we were so glad when Ngoc advised us via email that she would make our room ready (with no extra charge) for a 7am check in. This was heaven as it meant we could continue our sleep right after arriving.
Breakfast included is quite basic and good. The fruits offered every morning was a huge bonus! We had the omelet every morning and it was nice that they made it healthier adding some greens (kale?) in to it :)
As a vegetarian, they were able to accommodate my dietary and made a delicious vegan Vietnamese coconut milk based curry for me in the evenings! Please note that you need to place an order for the dinner on the same evening latest in the noon, so they know what to buy from the market :)
The resort also offers a variety of tours if you are interested on those. We purchased our bus tickets to Cambodia from there the day before departure!
Now on to the minor negatives. The WiFi signal (great speed) is not strong enough to carry a signal in the furthest rooms from the restaurants and the resort is located about 5-6km from the town centre, so you need a scooter or taxi/tuk tuk! Also the garden is quite dry during the dry season.

I had a lovely stay there. I was Very Glad to be a Bit Outside pakse downtown, which i find too dusty, smelly and Boring. Ngok is a lovely host, Trying everything to make you happy. Great Garden to Start the day with Yoga in. Top Choice!

Das Hotel ist ca. 5 km vom Stadtzentrum entfernt. In der näheren Umgebung gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt. Die besten Restaurants sind im Stadtzentrum. Ngoc die Hotelgastgeberin bietet auch Essen an, die Preise für das Essen ist jedoch höher als im Stadtzentrum. Das Frühstück ist ganz gut, leider gibt es keine grosse Auswahl. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und vorallem sehr sauber gehalten. Das Bett ist bequem.
Bei Ngoc kann man Scooter mieten um Paksé selbst zu erkunden. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Xuanmai Garden Resort genossen. Das Hotel ist sehr empfehlenswert, das einzige was ein bisschen stört sind die 5 Kilometer bis ins Stadtzentrum. Bei Fragen hat Ngoc immer ein offenes Ohr gehabt und ist sehr hilfsbereit. Wer ein paar ruhige Nächte möchte um die Ruhe zu geniessen ist hier komplett richtig.

Very nice experience. The staff is very nice and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. I would go back.

Ngoc and her staff are very nice and friendly. A very relaxing place to stay before and after doing Bolaven loop. We will stay there again after visiting 4000 Islands before flying out of Pakse.
