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!

Bellissima struttura immersa nel verde con bungalow che affacciano direttamente sulle risaie terrazzate.
Camere spaziose e pulite.
Personale gentilissimo, nonostante un disguido relativo alla prenotazione di un taxi da parte nostra, sono stati molto disponibili e gentili nell' aiutarci a trovare una soluzione.
Ottima la cena nel ristorante.
Bellissimo anche il paese immerso nella natura.

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

KtohahaThis 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.

The good traveler
The hotel was okay for a short stay and had most of the basic amenities. They do not provide drinking water which would’ve been much appreciated.
The one thing that must be improved is the bed, it was very hard and extremely uncomfortable.
Otherwise the place is decent, there’s not much to complain about, you get your money’s worth.

Lucas FrankI stayed at this homestay for 10 days and had a wonderful time. I loved the peace and quiet, the sounds of nature, the view, and the incredibly kind, fun, and helpful family. The homestay is located away from the tourist hub, which was a huge plus for me. I found the surroundings beautiful, with the absolute highlight being the waterfall just 100 meters away—I went into the water there every afternoon. Magical. I rented a good scooter from the family and used it to explore the area. I encountered so much friendliness along the way, including in the nearest village, Doan (4 km away). It is definitely a place I would return to. Thank you, family, for all the lovely moments.

ผู้เข้าพักThe accommodation is beautiful but the location is not close to the nice views, attractions or restaurants. So you rely on transportation which the hotel could make more clear. They also didn’t advertise any activities and since their English wasn’t great, you’re kind of left with organizing yourself. It was also difficult to contact them bc they’re not fast in replying to emails, there’s no WhatsApp number on their website, and I couldn’t call with my phone data package. So while the accommodation is great, and Pu Luong is incredibly beautiful, the hotel staff could be more forthcoming with customer service.

NicmicDas 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.
