Yes this is truly a magical place to visit- care will need to be taken so that it remains untouched by the 1000’s who visit.

We loved out 2N3D trip!

The room was terrific, staff fantastic, fun activities & places visited very picturesque.

Happy hour and spring roll making was a heap of fun.

The food offered was generally very good and our need for gluten free largely accommodated with ease. Large selection for each meal available.

The food is my only slight negative- a mix of international styles and very tasty.

I think its an opportunity missed- Vietnam has a diverse selection of local cuisines available and this would have been an opportunity to showcase them.
In the 3 weeks of our travel in the country we had an amazing selection of food.

Please don’t be afraid to be proud of what you have and showcase it for the many people who come to see a truly wonderful area.

Often tourists are looking for the true local experience and not what is the ‘expected’.

This review is not negative, merely an observation of what would make it more interesting and fulfilling experience.
