Vietnam: hotel con piscina nella provincia di Provincia di Thanh Hoa

MELIA VINPEARL in downtown Thanh Hoa is a six-star hotel, masquerading as a five-star home away from home, to re-quote a line from my previous review of my favourite KL hotel. But Melia is even more of a home away from home for a neighbouring guest like me from Asean because Thanh Hoa isn't exactly a bustling capital city as Kuala Lumpur (KL)...or a country where English or Malay (my native tongues) predominates. It's got more of a rural city countryside vibe, steeped in the soul of national history, like Jogjakarta in Indonesia, for instance.  It claims Vietnam's earliest legendary hero Le Loi as its hometown hero although he's accurately from a small hamlet nearer to its airport in Tho Xuan, called Lam Son; which apparently is being scaled upfor high-end tourism.  Back to Melia Vinpearl in Thanh Hoa. Why do I love i, rate it and recommend it without reserve?  Two reasons which are from the top, literally: 1. Its hotel manager, Robert Ngo, a hometown boy from Kon Tum (a 20-hour bus ride away in Vn's Central Highlands), now calls Da Nang home, but whose full dynamic homework is all about ensuring the energetic vibes of this gem of a hotel. You can feel the sense of being cocooned and spoiled by its A-star service and staff - from frint-desk to backend (housekeeping, room service et.al) and this energy originates from Robert (see pic of Bob and me at the breakfast buffet on the 6/f which has a fantastic spread.  The USP of Robert's theme is, well, pretty basic at its roots: pricing. The rates are horribly impossible to reject for such all-round six-star excellence.  2. Its 34th-storey penthouse-feel restaurant whose menu was curated by Robert personally when he took charge a couple of years back. He leveraged on the strongest suit of the hotel's class master chef, focusing on honing the latter's favourite culinary skillls.  A pared-down menu where each dish starts with delicious and elevates to 😋 yum 😋 excellence. My particular favourite: the boneless chicken served  with a side of mashed potatoes. Irresistible! And that's coming from a culinary curmudgeon who likes chicken least of all ”meats” despite originating from the homes of Chinese chicken rice - Malaysia and Singapore. If you wanna get the calming comfort of a long cool evening indoors dining for a couple of hours, this sky-high restaurant is the place...and sharing it with the hotel's watering hole - the Skybar - helps. The frozen margaritas ate consistently excellent and the whiskey sour, superb. As for the rest of the hotel, well, it's worth every ringgit, sgd, USD, Euro and yeah, penny you have for a trip's accommodation - go find out. It's utterly value-added worth it!  YAP, Koon Hong Malaysian-born Singaporean, who may well decide to call Vietnam home soon. 🇸🇬 🇲🇾🇻🇳

Het is een prachtige locatie. Weg van de drukke hoofdweg. De bungalow (DG-7)was prima. Schoon. Rustig. Prachtig uitzicht en vlakbij het kleiner zwembad. Het ontbijt is goed. Verwacht niet de keuze aan brood en beleg zoals in Europa maar ze doen goed hun best om het westerlingen naar de zin te maken terwijl er ook genoeg lokaal eten is. Service is uiterst vriendelijk en snel. Soms moeilijk communiceren maar nooit vervelend of onbeleefd. Laundry service is supersnel! In de buurt niet echt veel te doen. Paradijs voor wandelaars. Aanrader!

Location was a little out of the main town (20 mins by taxi) but closer to the smaller town (10 mins by taxi) with assortment of shops shops & restaurants. Resort was. very quiet and away from the night life in town. We enjoyed the spacious room with a sea view balcony and the room was clean and air conditioned. Showers, beds were very comfortable. The resort has two main zones and a golf buggy to take you to either side (or a short walk) when required. The beach side resort has an enormous salt water pool complex suitable for kids and adults. Leading on from this pool you can step onto the beach which was quit shallow for quite a way out making for easy splashing in the surf. The other accommodation side has an indoor and outdoor pool and well equiped gym. We arrived in the off season so only one restaurant was open most of our stay - the food was of a high standard with great breakfast. Unfortunately the only bar open during our stay was the cigar bar with frequent smokers making it impossible to enjoy a quiet cocktail most of the time. Overall the stay was very nice and the staff are exceedingly friendly & helpful which made our stay all the better

This was one of the most bizarre and dystopian stays of my entire trip. Checkin and checkout were unnecessarily lengthy and frustrating experiences. Two of the restaurants were closed, spa was closed, bar was closed, and the one restaurant that was open didn't do cocktails just watermelon juice or beer. We had the private villa and pool. Room was great, spacious and comfy bed. Although much of bedroom was taken up by desk for TV which could've been wallmounted. Lovely balcony, a shame there was no seats to sit out on it. Pool was really gross and dirty when we arrived. Pool cleaner came and made it much better but still the corners of Pool floor were grimey. No furniture on pool deck either. Much of rooftop taken up by flowerbed full of dead plants. Outdoor shower was cool and beautiful lake view. Ordered ice and it took an hour and a half to get to our room even though I never saw any other guests. All the staff were pleasant and happy. Some good things, but for the price we payed it was not worth it when we compare it to other stays we've had in Vietnam.

This is a hotel, not a homestay, and the service reflected as such. Competent, efficient, adequate, but not warm. No extra effort to welcome or help me, especially when I asked for help finding a motorbike back from the Hieu Falls. They told me there would be plenty of drivers, but there were none. If you want to pay more money for a generic experience you can get anywhere else, then this is probably good for you. Otherwise, please consider supporting a local family running a homestay which has rooms likely just as nice and will treat you with real care. Yes, the infinity pool is nice, but the rice paddy is the OG infinity pool. Next time I will stay elsewhere and try to keep Pu Luong smaller, slower, and more personal.

One of the best places I’ve stayed at in Vietnam!!!! So beautifully designed, the food is amazing (try the fish in dongo leaf wowwww), service is very personal, I felt so well taken care of. Would recommend it again and again and again. I want to mention Hien who is a shining light and Duan who took me on a motorbike tour and made my day really special. Can’t wait to go back.

L'hotel è un'albergo molto bello, ma non è vicino alle belle viste, alle attrazioni o ai ristoranti, quindi si basa sul trasporto che l'hotel può chiarire. Non hanno annunciato alcuna attività e, poiché il loro inglese non era grande, è un tipo di sinistra con l'organizzazione di se stessi. È stato anche difficile contattarli bc che non sono veloce in risposta alle email, non c'è alcun numero WhatsApp sul loro sito web, e non potevo chiamare con il mio pacchetto di dati telefonici. Così, mentre l'alloggio è grande e Pu Luong è incredibilmente bella, il personale dell'hotel potrebbe essere più prossimo con il servizio clienti.

Das Zimmer mit eigenem Pool und Blick aufs Meer war unglaublich schön! Alles war sauber und man konnte auch die Anlage des Haupthauses benutzen. Alles war sehr schön und der Service war sehr gut und freundlich. Das Frühstück war sehr gut nur das Abendessen hat uns nicht so gut geschmeckt und wir sind lieber in der Stadt essen gegangen. Der Burger im Restaurant war nicht so lecker, das Essen in der Stadt aber sehr gut. Es war aber auch Nebensaison und fast nichts los. Wenn viel los ist, ist das Essen vielleicht auch besser. Die Massage im Spa war super! Wir haben sie gleich wieder gebucht. Es gibt nicht wirklich einen Strand sondern nur eine Wand mit Treppen durch die Felsen aber es war auch schön, das Meer einfach nur zu hören. Der Transport vom Flughafen Hanoi dauert zwar sehr lange aber dafür war das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis wirklich sehr gut.

Phòng rộng rãi, bể bơi to, không khí thoáng đãng mát mẻ, đồ ăn tạm được
