Just. Wow. We had been traveling Vietnam for a week and half up until this point and this place blew our damn minds. This is the kind of place that you can fly in and do JUST this if you are looking for a remote chill oasis. We stayed 3 nights but could have done 1 week. At first I was a little nervous about my choice as we drove to the lodge because it is quite far from Sapa town. But I quickly realized that the grounds and food were so wonderful....I didn't want to leave. When we arrived, we decided to upgrade to a Pool suite and if you are thinking about it....go for it. The room was so gorgeous. I wish I could take the shower home with us. We talked about how if it had a kitchen we would live there. The pool water was super warm, which was nice very early am and at night- but not great in the hot afternoon sun. But no worries, because you can head over to the infinity pool which is STUNNING and get served cocktails and poke bowls in cooler water. The food is wonderfulllllll. From breakfast, to room service, to the pool, to the steakhouse- seriously better than anything you will eat in Sapa town. Maybe it's just the places we went to in Sapa town but we just were not impressed with anything we ate there. There is a free shuttle to the town, but beware when staying in town to the darker hours as the last shuttle will take you back around 1:15pm. I don't recommend using grab to get back. We got scammed. Driver accepted it, then said he had to charge his car for 15 min before taking us so we got out but he continued the ride, I had trouble figuring out how to cancel it, not sure if you can while a drive is active? After 10 min I finally tried writing a stern message to him in Vietnamese using google translate and he then canceled it. Negotiate with a taxi driver or ask the hotel to arrange a car for you. The ride back at night is bumpy and dark. In Sapa town, we loved Moana and Cat Cat village- wear comfortable shoes as there are a lottttt of steps. At the lodge, I booked a body scrub...HIGHLY RECOMMEND. It's like a scrub massage and it was so relaxing. My skin felt so soft and buttery afterwords. Wish I booked other treatments there. We also did a private hike with Hi. He was a wonderful guide. It was about 2 hours and the scenery is UNREAL. The rice paddies and mountains are just beautiful. You might get followed by the village women trying to sell you things, at first I felt uncomfortable..but then it turned out to be a part of the experience. If you want to buy something at the end of the walk to support them , do so. What I like about the staff here, is that they are there when you need them- but it is not overbearing. I just love being able to text someone a food/drink order on what's app. You will be able to schedule spa and tours this way as well. I truly hope to revisit this place one day. Thank you for a beautiful experience.
