A lovely stay for just one night. The bed was very comfortable and the room nice and clean. It was great overlooking the river and pool. We were made very welcome. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and had an excellent  meal for a great price. The breakfast was lovely too. 
Thank you!

A Lovely One Night Stay

Only stayed here for one night but would loved to have stayed longer! Beautiful location on the river bank with amazing views from the lovely rooms. Two great infinity pools also. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant is fantastic. Rooms very large clean and comfortable and great beds and bathrooms Highly recommended. One of the best hotels we have stayed in whilst visiting Laos.

Beautiful Hotel, amazing views.

For us it remains the best accommodation to visit the 4000 islands.
The hotel is located along the Mekong on the island of Don Khong, the largest of the 4000 islands.
It has large and spacious rooms that overlook the two swimming pools perfect for relaxing after a day around the islands.
Perfect the possibility, two hours by boat, to leave directly from the Hotel to visit the best known islands, that of Don Det and Don Khon.
Special thanks to Philipe, who accompanied us to the islands and who allowed us to eat fresh fish every evening cooked very well by the hotel restaurant.

The best accommodation to visit the 4000 islands

I strongly recommend the Pon Arena Hotel in Muang Khong, South Laos. A delightful place to stay while visiting the beautiful SiPhanDon (Four Thousand Islands ) in the Mekong River. The owner and his staff had been our
friendly and gracious hosts. Come and enjoy your stay

Lovely place to stay

We spent in the Pon Arena hotel one week. We only wanted to relax and enjoy the awesome pool and tasty food in the restaurant.
The rooms, the pools (there are two pools!), the balconies are very clean. We have seen how careful the staff was cleaning everything around the pool, in the restaurant etc.
Every morning we enjoyed the breakfast and the view of the small islands in the Mekong river and the fishermen in their small boats.
We had fantastic homemade bread and a lot of fresh fruits, eggs any kind, yoghurt, cereals, congee (rice soup), noodles with vegetables and tasty coffee from Italian coffee machines.
They offer a big variety of meals for lunch and dinner - we have tried some of them and were very satisfied.
We were very happy to have Miss Bie at the reception, she made our stay very comfortable and remarkable.
If you wish more activity you can hire a boat and visit the fantastic waterfalls or take a bike and explore the Don Khong island.
We definitely recommend this hotel. We would go back again.

Great hotel with stunning pool on the Mekong river

We stayed in this hotel two nights and found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and the dining room is nice, with a great view of the Mekong. The pools also overlook the Mekong so it is quite enjoyable to sit out there and enjoy the view. Unfortunately we did not have a room overlooking the Mekong. We were across the street. Nevertheless we did enjoy our stay in this hotel.

Nice hotel with a great view of the Mekong

Four of us had the pleasure of staying at the Pon Arena for two days and highly recommend it. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable with large, separate bathrooms and very, very good beds.  The staff was courteous and cared for our needs very well.  The food was very good, but not outstanding.  However, the infinity pools in which one could swim or lounge while watching the life on the Mekong is superlative. You see fishermen casting their nets and people going about their business on the river while you relax in utter comfort. One has the feeling of  seeing  a slice of the real world in Laos while being an unobtrusive bystander who isn't interfering with it. No hustle and bustle. No one jostling to sell, no pressure. What joy!

A Slice of Life in Southern Laos

This is a very large hotel; we stayed there one night.  The room was huge; the bathroom has a separate tub and shower; beds are very comfortable; mini-refrigerator stocked with free water.  We stayed in room 341 facing the Mekong River, 3rd story, overlooking one of two infinity pools (there are rooms in another building that do not face the river).  Looking at the river one can see fishermen in small boats with their nets.  If lucky, you can catch sunrise shimmering over the calm Mekong River.  We ate dinner at the hotel’s restaurant:  had Pad Thai (very good) and Fish in coconut milk with sticky rice (recommended by our guide, it was Excellent).  Breakfast is included:  they make eggs to order, and have the usual juices, fresh fruit, bread, muffins, coffee, etc. The staff was helpful but their English needs improvement.   Across the street from the hotel is an elementary school and we asked our guide to take us there.  Classes were on the small side, children were well-behaved.  The children wearing bandanas indicated they were the best ones in their class.  Fun to go take a look there while you can.  The older teachers taught the younger class because they have more experience.

Great view of the Mekong River.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights and found it to be very relaxing.  The hotel has two pools, infinity style but does not have a spa/massage service on site.  You need to go down the road for this.  The restaurant breakfasts were nothing more than adequate, however, we did enjoy a tasty meal in the restaurant.  The hotel is on an island and there is not much to do if you do not want to take boat trips, other than relax.  As this was our aim, we could not complain.  We would stay in this resort again.

Relaxing with a great view

Certainly the best hotel on the island but be aware there is absolutely nothing to do on the island. If you want a boat trip you have to drive off the island and head south, so why stay on Don Khong island? In itself the hotel is not that great as a resort.

We choose not to eat in the hotel and reasonable food can be found at one of the several restaurants just along the road as you turn left out of the hotel. The place we ate at had a menu in English with photos and the waiter spoke English. As you can imagine the food was significantly cheaper than in the hotel. 

Breakfast was weak but in the time of Covid you have to lower your expectations.

The rooms are ridiculously huge. The bed mattresses are very soft, if you like that then enjoy. I could only stand one night of sinking without trace. 

The hotel kettle in the bedroom was full of dead ants but otherwise the hotel is clean.
