La Résidence Phou Vao
Overview
Welcome. Baby cots are free, but extra beds for older kids will set you back US$60 a night. A babysitter is on tap for US$10 an hour.
Best for
Kids who don’t need a lot of flashy entertainment. This is a low-key destination.
Recommended rooms
All are quite spacious and can easily accommodate a baby cot or extra single bed.
Activities
This is a small city, so ask the concierge about getting your hands on some bikes to make the local wat-hopping a little more entertaining. Day trips involving elephant treks, rafting and hiking are a good distraction in the surrounding countryside.
Swimming pool
Children are quite welcome at the infinity pool. There is no shallow end but a lifeguard is on duty from 8am–6pm.
Meals
The kitchen staff is more than happy to cater to junior tastes during restaurant hours, and can heat baby milk and food when necessary, or make up packed lunches. There are no high chairs.
Babysitting
Give the staff at least two hours’ notice and someone can look after the littlies for US$10 an hour.
No need to pack
Baby cots, provided free.
Also
Extra beds for older kids cost US$60 a night.
