Loy Pela Voyages
An antique rice barge turned all-inclusive floating resort
About this hotel
This is not a conventional hotel but a converted antique rice barge, and that single fact sets it apart from every other riverside property in the area, with sophisticated rooms and a sundeck built directly onto the vessel. The all-inclusive structure covers breakfast, free Wi-Fi and full-service laundry without extra charges layered on, and the pool on board gives a way to cool off between excursions along the river. SEEN Restaurant & Bar is two minutes away by land for those wanting to step off the barge, and Asiatique The Riverfront is eight minutes by taxi. The airport transfer runs about 47 minutes by taxi, in line with the riverside cluster, though the barge setting itself is the reason to book here over a standard hotel.
- All-inclusive
- Pool on board
- Sundeck
- Kid-friendly
Our take
This suits travellers who specifically want the novelty and romance of staying on a converted rice barge, with the all-inclusive pricing simplifying the cost of a multi-night stay. Anyone wanting a large hotel with extensive facilities or a fixed, land-based address should look at the conventional riverside hotels instead of this floating stay.
- Book well in advance, rooms on a converted barge are limited compared to a standard hotel
- Take advantage of the all-inclusive structure rather than adding extras elsewhere
- Step off at SEEN Restaurant & Bar two minutes away for a change of setting

Why guests love itI would choose Loy Pela Voyages for something different: an all-inclusive stay on an antique rice barge, with sophisticated rooms, a pool on board and a sundeck. It is rated 9.0 across 138 reviews and is described as kid-friendly. SEEN Restaurant & Bar is two minutes away and Asiatique eight minutes by taxi. Rooms on a converted barge are limited, so I would book well in advance and use the all-inclusive structure instead of adding extras elsewhere.
