Le Bel Air Resort Luang Prabang

We stayed 2 nights and booked 2 rooms as a family of 4. They put us in 2 adjacent rooms with shared balconies. It was perfect for our needs and age of kids (12 and 14 years old). The room had everything yu could possibly want and need and the layout was well-planned. The decor and architectural details are classic and beautiful giving a brand new property a bit of old world charm. We were nervous booking since it was so new but the professionalism of all of the staff was impeccable from wonderful cocktails, poolside attendants, spa treatments (we tried the Lao massage), to the presentation of meals. They even arranged a private van to take us to Vang Vieng at the end of our stay. We regretted not staying longer to try their tours which all looked great and I feel based on other efforts to be contienscious of local culture and environment that their tours are probably non-exploitative or intrusive of local culture. The property did well to use natural local products, cloth linens in the restaurant and lobby bathrooms. I am told the owner is Lao which I liked that this is local. It was too cold during our stay to swim (cold rainy weather) but its beautiful to just sit by the pool and have hot tea, cocktails and snacks. The meal presentation is beautiful!!! And we thought reasonably priced for a resort. I had a signature cocktail with Iron ball gin, and passionfruit that rivaled that of a cocktail I had at the Ritz in Paris. Breakfast is both buffet and made to order.
