Ana Mandara Villas Dalat Resort & Spa

Location is excellent nestled amid the hillslopes. Tranquil ,scenic setting. We had a villa studio that's spacious;furniture a bit dated but it has the feel of old French colonial villas; amenities were fine though, only that the modern heater in the room was too small( single digit temperatures at night). Kept very clean. Quiet & calm. Lovely place to spend a restful holiday. Service was excellent; very helpful staff. Generous spread at breakfast. Good recommendation by agent LUX TRAVEL DMC in Hanoi.

Good points Location is very good. Villa rooms are well appointed and sizeable. Hotel restaurant serves both western and Asian dishes of high quality. Yoga class high standard – alas, only Friday, Saturday and Sunday (should be every day in a hotel of this standing) Service from staff is very good. Reception staff very well trained and friendly. Will stop their golf buggies to offer lifts if they see you walking. Breakfast bar is varied and good quality (exception: the fruit offering is less good than other hotels we stayed in). Areas for improvement Sound insulation between rooms is almost non-existent. The bathroom for room 805 appears to be next to the headboard of the bed in room 803 and the sound of water running and people talking woke us up. The coffee-making facilities at breakfast are a joke - completely inadequate. There is one, small, aged Saeco machine that is very slow and a queue quickly forms. The water needs constant refilling and the grounds emptying. Afternoon tea offering is underwhelming, particularly compared to lesser hotels on our tour. Laundry relatively expensive - a number of items came back shrunk and unironed. However, they ironed the pleats out of a skirt. Overall, a bit of a feature of hotel laundry in Vietnam, but for the price we paid, we expected better.

I had a back and shoulder massage and Jo my wife had a facial. Thanh Thao and Thu Thao were utterly amazing. We couldn’t recommend more highly. Such a thoughtful and detailed massage in a tranquil setting. Would love to be able to do this everyday!

The best hotel we stayed at in Da lat. The rooms are stunning with large bathrooms and full amenities. The service is outstanding as the heated pool and complimentary afternoon tea. Thien at the reception was extremely friendly and always checked in on us. While lower buildings can be noisy a bit but accepted. Highly recommend.

I left the place feeling very relaxed and my therapist Thanh Thao was great. I definitely recommend this place. Thanks again!
