Overall the stay was OK. The really great: The pools with uninterrupted views across the Mekong River are a welcome relief from the heat. The good: Room was huge with a very comfortable bed and awesome bedding. The sunrise view from our ground floor room was great. The not so good: Breakfast was woeful. OK we know it is low season and not many guests but surely there could be a variety of "sets" like eggs with sausage and bacon at least, instead basically it was soup with a couple of veges or 2 X eggs with toast and some fruit. For what we paid, which is in the high end, we have had better breakfasts in 2-star guest houses. The really not so good, Location. Unless you have your own transport there is no way to get round the island, unless you hire a pushbike, moto or car. When you do there is not a great deal to see or do. Would we stay again, not really as Don Det offers more variety. Would be OK for 1 or 2 nights with your own transport.

This hotel certainly looks grand but unfortunately does not live up to its promise (this goes for the older building behind the newer one). The standard and deluxe double rooms were not really clean and poorly maintained - way to overpriced. They definitely needed to be updated. On the other hand, the deluxe suite with pool view is new and comfy but there were people sitting by the pool all night which made it difficult to get some sleep. Be aware there is absolutely nothing to do on the island. If you want a boat trip you have to drive off the island, so I would strongly suggest to stay on Don Khon for example.
