The Villa Santi Resort and Spa has had mixed reviews on Tripadvisor. I can only say that the ones that were negative must have been having a bad day.... we found the place magical. The grounds are wonderful .. especially if you go for a walk early morning - mist over the mountains, rice paddies that are unbelieveably green, wondering... more

There have been mixed reviews on this Hotel so this one is deliberately detailed. The Resort:- This was built some 6 years ago by the owners of Villa Santi Hotel which is in the centre of town.It is some 4K south of Luang Prabang with access off the main road by a 500m unmade road but this is likely to... more

The Santi Resort is situated 6Km from the centre of town in a rural and somewhat isolated location sorrounded by paddy fields. It is jointly owned by Villa Santi which is located in town. A Shuttle bus operates between the two frequently and is efficient and necessary given the location. The Resort comprises accomodation blocks in extensive landscaped gardens which... more

Don't confuse this with the Villa Santi Hotel (which is in the centre of Luang Prabang). Villa Santi Resort is a fair way from the centre down a dark & bumpy dirt track. Having said that tuk tuks were readily available & cheap (agree the price 1st)! The resort is set in pretty grounds & the pool area was very... more

We had booked 3 nights at this Resort. We were staying in 4 different hotels in Laos and Cambodia and due to our budget could only afford to "splurge" in one hotel. We had decided this would be our splurge so we booked a suite at $248 per night. We were very disappointed. It was the most expensive of the... more

We stayed in this resort in March while on holiday from Singapore. While not on the scale of the big resorts of Phuket and Krabi, it was lovely anyway. Our rooms were large wtih fresh linens, and cushy duvets and our balconies overlooked the fields beyong where water buffalo grazed. The spa is simple but well appointed and I enjoyed... more

The setting for this hotel is lovely, and the swimming pool is beautiful. However, the restaurant is its weakest point, with poor, slow service and not the most inspiring cuisine. The english ( or any language other than laotian) of the staff is also poor, so be prepared for some communication difficulties ( a problem not unique to this hotel... more

Had a wonderful stay at the Villa Santi. This was my second time - I was also there for 3 days in November 2005. I had such a good stay that I came back! Beautiful setting and lovely rooms. Fabulous breakfasts. Only stayed there at night - during the days I went to the Kuang Si Waterfalls and for a... more

Villa Santi Resort Luang Prabang Lao The brochure pictures, in a welcome change from many ads, are accurate as the pool, room, and grounds lived up to expectations. Well, the bathroom could use some tile work and the showerhead had a tendency to spray water in interesting directions, but the pool is an oasis of relief when the temperature reaches... more
