Southern Vietnam Kid friendly Vacations

After having spent 3 nights in a place organise by the tour I was on, I was very VERY excited for the nice hotel I'd booked. They were very welcoming and opened the doors for us, and as we were early, we left our bags to do some exploring before our check in time. The beds were a little hard, but a bit better than most I'd been sleeping on across South East Asia. The room was fairly spacious (twin as I was travelling with my bestie). There was an odd smell down the hallway, and in our room. We got accustomed to it, and noticed that some of the taxis we took also had the same smell. Not sure if it was a specific incense or something. It was a little off putting. The interior was dark and a bit old, but the room was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. We also had access to the mini bar for free which was great as it was so hot outside. The massage parlor was my favourite experience! It was the best massage I've ever had! Highly reccommend. The tipping confused us. They had a base price, then the final price with a tip, but then they seemed to expect more tip even though it was included. As I'm from Australia and we don't have a tipping culture, we were confused as to why we were being asked for extra. We did give a little bit as it was an awesome massage, but we have no idea if it was an appropriate amount. The breakfast buffet was great, and had enough options for everyone. Overall, a good stay!

Nice hotel, friendly staff.

We loved The Rex Old style charm and service in the heart of the most vibrant cities is Asia. We will be back

The staff were very friendly. Couldn't do enough for us

Things are going well but the only thing that really turned me off that is staff burned garbage around the property and black smoke is unbearable.

Salinda is a beautiful, private location. It’s like being on an island by yourself. The view of the beach and pool are spectacular and the gardens are lush. Everything is integrated with nature and it is healing and recuperative and a great way to unwind after the rush, rush of traveling through Japan and mainland Vietnam. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was great too (though we only ate the breakfast in-site—we ate at local restaurants for dinner (I highly recommend the Lobster Cave, near the night market.). Salinda staff cleaned our rooms every day without being asked; towels and umbrellas are provided depending on your needs and everything is provided with loving care. I truly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Salinda and will definitely try to come back. The only negative: it doesn’t appear that the hotels and bars in Vietnam don’t really understand how to make international cocktails. (Like pina coladas (not blended) for my daughter, or cosmopolitans for me.). But it’s a minor complaint. Everything else was top notch.

Excellent resort with great ammenities. The gardens are just stunning and the pool area is the perfect place to curl up with a book. What makes this resort the perfect go to is the staff, Sam is a gift and the entire team do not fail to deliver day upon day. The rooms are a little bit dated but the resort gardens, ammenities and dining options make up for the lack of modern room styling. There are plenty of dining options within walking distance but for the price point and taste factor we happily ate at the resort on multiple occasions, most certainly do the upstairs dining option of an evening, an absolute experience. If you want drinks and vibe pop next door out the back to the left for some drinks and bites and then pop back to the luxury La Veranda has to offer. Truly it’s a home away from home and the staff create this beautiful energy :)
