Vietnam: hotel con spa nella provincia di Lam Dong

Dalat Palace Heritage Hotel It’s true that the last time we stayed at the Dalat Heritage Hotel was years back. It had a different name then too, when it was, we believe, under a different management. The place was beautiful, with vanished wooden floors, beds with canopies and bath tubs on steady golden legs. Golden taps and fresh looking bathroom tiles. Most importantly, it was clean, the cushioned chairs felt firmed, the rooms & bathrooms brightly lit. It was an equivalent if not better than the Raffles in Spore. We decided in our latest trip to stay at the now Dalat Heritage Hotel for two nights, 23 & 24 July 2025 . We learnt that it had changed hands and while we expected it to have aged, we thought most hotel managements, would have done some upgrade, some renovation some replacements of essentials. Sad to say, our stay was a tremendous let down. I’m trying not to use the adjectives “traumatising experience” and will not offer photos, so that the hotel has an opportunity to spruce it up and bring it to its former glory. The property has too much potential & history to be abandoned by visitors to Dalat. We stepped into a an old, tired looking lobby. Waited a long time to register and was told to expect welcoming drinks which never came. We girls had to use the “ladies. ” another disappointment. It was old, the flush was a pull up lever which almost didn’t work. The taps were tarnished. We finally got into our rooms. The floors were scratched, not quite the varnish, but we thought, it’s ok, a little authenticity, somethings must age. The beds still had its canopy, but the linens looked worn, tired. The little table with its two cushion chairs were well placed, but the cushions were totally worn, we could feel the base of the seat. There was a dressing table, thoughtful… but then there was no light for any lady, vain or otherwise, to apply her war paint. The room was badly lit, no extra lights at the dressing table or anywhere. The stand alone cupboards were large, but dark as well. I almost missed the black hair dryer kept in there, and we couldn’t find the room slippers and had to ask for help to locate it in the cupboards. The most disappointing was the bathroom. It was badly lit as well. The taps were all tarnished and without my glasses, I could see the bits of mould growing around the base of the tap. There was also limescale deposits. The floor tiles were badly worn, and I wish I could say it gave the bathroom a feel of the grandeur of yesterday years ageing gracefully, but hygiene is too important here to do so. The highlight was when we took a shower and stepped into the bathtub supported by “stone legs.” It wobbled continuously and made such a lot of noise that kept the user on edge. Then, we saw it all, the grouting of the wall tiles were caked with black moulds. To top it all, the bathroom had a stench of clogged pipes. It stayed with us like a faithful friend that won’t leave even if we tried pushing him out the door!! Did I mention the mosquitoes that bunked in with us? They bit my friend on the face & eye lid which swelled for 2 days. In the mornings, they sounded the wake up calls around our faces. If it had been possible, we would have cancelled the wake up calls. Breakfast was good. There was a good spread and the chefs behind the counters were friendly and all smiles. However much could be done to train the waitresses, who hid in corners. I asked one of them where the toaster for the bread was, she said there was none. I found it on the second morning. It was there all along. I guess her English needs polishing. Luckily, the porters were friendly and quite quick with umbrellas as it rained the whole 2 days we were there. On the whole, the hotel had a handful of local guests while we were there. I hope they chip in, in encouraging the hotel to relook at its offerings. We would really like to go back, but perhaps, only if someone wrote a review that says otherwise.

La costruzione stradale era in corso intorno all'hotel. Era inconveniente andare intorno con polvere, ma l'hotel era pulito e il personale era amichevole e bello. La colazione era particolarmente buona. Se si chiede dove stare, consiglio questo hotel.

Anantara è un piccolo paradiso a MuiNe. Il resort dell'hotel è ben preparato per prendere turisti da tutto il mondo, il relax è un must. Non appena arrivate mentre aspettate, siete benvenuti con un massaggio rilassante e un personale meraviglioso vi aiuterà. Se si visita MuiNe, Anantara è il posto giusto per voi, splendide opzioni per colazione, spiaggia pulita e camere calde e accoglienti. Grazie in particolare al servizio dettagliato della signora Thao GM, la signora Dung, che ha preso cura della nostra stanza, la signora Huyen, che ci ha aiutati prima di arrivare, e ogni persona dall'hotel che ci ha sempre salutati con un sorriso e una mano d'aiuto.

I had a wonderful stay at APEC Mandala Hotel. The facilities were excellent, the room was beautiful, and every aspect of the hotel exceeded my expectations. However, what truly made this stay unforgettable was my butler, Dương. I arrived at the hotel feeling very unwell, and from the moment I checked in, Dương went above and beyond to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. He anticipated my needs before I even had to ask and genuinely cared about how I was feeling. His kindness, warmth, and attentiveness were unlike anything I’ve experienced at a hotel before. Not only was he incredibly professional, but he was also so friendly and funny. We were constantly laughing together, and he made me feel completely at ease despite travelling alone in a country where I didn’t speak the language. He never made me feel isolated. instead, he made me feel looked after like family. When I needed to withdraw cash, Dương personally took me to the ATM. Then, when I realised I’d need more than I’d originally withdrawn, he happily came back with me without hesitation. It was such a simple gesture, but it perfectly summed up his willingness to help with absolutely anything. The moment that really showed how exceptional he is was when he messaged to ask if I needed anything. I had fallen asleep and didn’t reply. Rather than assuming everything was fine, he actually came to my room to check on me because he was genuinely worried about my wellbeing. That level of care is incredibly rare and meant so much, especially when I wasn’t feeling my best. Dương didn’t just provide excellent service, he showed genuine compassion. His kindness, patience, and generosity transformed what could have been a difficult trip into one I’ll always remember for the right reasons. He is a true credit to APEC Mandala Hotel, and I sincerely hope the management recognises what an extraordinary employee they have. Thank you, Dương, for taking such wonderful care of me. You didn’t just make my stay better you made it unforgettable.

Il più povero servizio che abbia mai avuto. Il check-in sul desk front lentamente.Molti ospiti aspettavano più di un'ora per arrivare alle chiavi della stanza. Nessun arco con ascensore E mi è stato risposto che non forniscono servizi di pulizia o di maquillaggio 😡, anche io rimango più di una notte!!!! Sono solo ”supporto” per cambiare la tovagliola? !? Che diavolo si chiama ”supporto” qui?

I stayed for two nights and arrived late at night. The Front Desk staff who welcomed me were very warm and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a room upgrade, which I truly appreciated. The resort itself is lovely, with beautiful gardens and flowers that create a relaxing atmosphere and make it enjoyable to walk around. The room was generally nice; however, there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom, and the soundproofing could be improved as I could easily hear people talking in the corridor. Breakfast was generally good, with a nice selection of food. The staff were attentive despite the busy hours. The main disappointment during my stay was the inconsistency regarding the late check-out. One day before departure, I was confirmed a complimentary late check-out until 2pm, and my key card was even extended. I appreciated this gesture, especially since I had mentioned that I did not mind paying if needed. However, on the day of departure, the manager informed me that the hotel was fully booked and that the late check-out was no longer valid. Unfortunately, no alternative solution was offered, and it seemed as though there was some doubt about my confirmation. Luckily, my bags were already packed, and I was able to check out immediately. I later sent an email to express my concern. Another manager responded politely and offered a solution and courtesy gesture, which I appreciated. However, by then I had already checked out and made alternative plans, so it was a bit too late — though I do value the effort to follow up. I was also traveling on my birthday. While I am not someone who expects celebrations, it was a little surprising that there was no recognition at all, especially for a brand like Grand Mercure. Overall, the resort is beautiful and the service is generally good, but better consistency in communication and service delivery would enhance the guest experience.

A classical dame that needs a lot of maintenance. The breakfast offers a wide variety of choices. The room furniture is outdated and the bed is out of support. The fresh air and environment is good. The staffs are friendly.

Retroazione dell'hotel Follow-up Ho riferito al responsabile del servizio l’atteggiamento del personale di ricezione e il modo in cui è stato affrontato il problema. Vorrei esprimere la mia apprezzamento alla signora Nhi per la sua disponibilità a ascoltare e riconoscere il feedback dell’ospite. La signora ha affrontato la denuncia con un atteggiamento positivo e ha compiuto ogni sforzo per migliorare la situazione. Durante il soggiorno di due giorni, i suoi sforzi hanno consentito al cliente di riconoscere la sincerità dell’hotel. Come hotel a cinque stelle operante sotto un marchio internazionale, l'atteggiamento di servizio è di fondamentale importanza se l'hotel intende attrarre più ospiti internazionali. Il rispetto reciproco è essenziale. Mentre la proprietà può ancora essere considerata per i futuri soggiorni, coloro che si aspettano un vero standard di servizio a cinque stelle sono consigliati di moderare le loro aspettative.

L'hotel è comodo, non molto grande. Il personale è gentile, cura. Il pranzo è meglio lungo la strada in un foschnit, o un caffè con crociere, andando a 300 metri a destra)))) spiaggia come tale no, piscina su quattro) ma siamo venuti con un cane, così su tutto, ma,, occhi chiusi. Nel problema dell'anima con la funzionalità dei mixer e a noi e nella stanza dei nostri amici ..... È possibile vivere, ma non molto ....))))

Il mio soggiorno era pulito, ben mantenuto e ben progettato. Il resort offre una vasta gamma di servizi e un sacco di bellissimi punti di check-in, rendendolo particolarmente adatto per le famiglie. Tuttavia, il servizio di bug elettrico è un po' limitato, non ci sono molti veicoli disponibili e il tempo di attesa può essere piuttosto lungo.
