Ana Mandara Villas Dalat Resort & Spa

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.

We stayed at this wonderful hotel for three nights and had an absolutely delightful experience. The property is set in a beautiful pine forest, with elegant villas scattered throughout, each one hosting several rooms. We stayed in Villa 7, which turned out to be extremely convenient thanks to its proximity to the swimming pool, the restaurant, and the main entrance. Our room was Suite 705, located on a raised ground floor. It was a truly stunning room spacious, charming, and full of character, with gorgeous antique details and a beautiful wooden parquet floor. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring a lovely antique bathtub that added a special touch to our stay. The gardens are impeccably maintained, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The staff deserve a special mention: they were absolutely adorable kind, attentive, and always willing to help. Breakfast was excellent, with a great selection and high quality, and the overall environment was incredibly calm and quiet. We also had the chance to try the SPA, which turned out to be an extraordinary experience. The facilities are beautiful, the atmosphere is deeply relaxing, and it was the perfect complement to an already exceptional stay. The location is also very convenient: it takes about a 20-minute walk to reach the market area, which makes it easy to explore while still enjoying a tranquil setting. Overall, it was a truly wonderful stay with impeccable service. We highly recommend this hotel it is absolutely worth it and offers an unforgettable experience. The only thing, in my personal opinion, would be to have a separate pool for children, so that guests can fully relax in the adults’ pool.

We have loved every second and every inch of this wonderful resort! The communication before we arrived was really helpful. Upon arrival we were greeted with warmth and kindness, hot flannels and tea. A buggy drive is to our villa. The grounds are immaculate. Our room was beautiful and so clean with gorgeous views. Each day our room was serviced and when we returned each evening lamps had been put on for us, curtains closed and a little plate of cookies left out for us. Breakfast was the best we have had so far (in 3 weeks of travelling Vietnam). The afternoon tea was most welcomed. We enjoyed a relaxing and refreshing swim on the pool. We had an incredible spa treatment (facial and massage) which made us feel 20 years younger! The reception team organised a city tour for us and our airport transfer; they were so helpful. We have felt to cared for. We didn't want to leave! Thank you to every member of staff for making Ana Mandara such a special place to stay! I would like to add a personal thank you Thao Nguyen (reception desk) who took such great care of us. She is an absolute asset to Ana Mandara Villas!

Ana Mandara is a hotel in an excellent location, about 15 minutes from downtown Da Lat. Its strengths are mainly twofold: genuinely friendly staff, and charmingly designed buildings with equally delightful interiors. I was able to spend a very relaxed, chilled-out stay there. The atmosphere of the restaurant in particular is outstanding (the food itself is solid, though not exceptional). There are, however, a couple of issues. First, the shower and toilet have no doors, which makes privacy essentially nonexistent. Second, the television turns itself on and off at random. In the end, peace was only achieved by unplugging it entirely. That said, I would like to emphasize the hotel’s excellent hospitality: they kindly helped search for an item I had forgotten and even arranged to have it shipped to my home. This level of service truly stands out.

This restored French compound boasts a large amount of 1930s villas. The grounds and the buildings are incredibly well kept. The resort offers lots of fun activities to do including pool deck yoga and a family picnic. The staff at the resort are super friendly and informative. I highly recommend doing at least one of the excursions offered by the resort. We really learned a lot and got to see many interesting things. Our personal favorite excursions was the rural expedition due to the farm visits. All in all this is my absolute favorite resort I have ever stayed at and we are excited to try additional locations in the future. The only thing I would mention is that due to the old age of the villas they can get quite noisy from neighbors so if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs!

I would definitely recommend this hotel for my friends.The hotel itself give you a quite unique experience. When we first arrived they meet us with such a warm welcome. They took care about bags, gave us a tea and follow all our wished for these couple of days. We also book a spa treatment - it was amazing. 90 minutes you spend on heaven with Himalayan Stones therapy. Rooms are spectacular: vintage furniture, bid bed with canopy make you feel you transported to another century. Breakfast were incredible: lot of fresh fruits, local food and some western options. The restaurant menu was not that great (I would expect more based on other aspects of hotel), but still delicious. I was prepared for a bit cold rooms, but still not enough. Keep in mind that in the room is a bit colder than outside. Even we had a heater - you always wearing sweaters (or it's just my personal things) In general, I would love to come back and spend days in this amazing villas among pine forest

Hands down this is the best spa I have ever been to! We came here on our honeymoon and they made it so special. The woman at reception, Trúc, always greeted us with warm tea and went over the treatments for the day. She was very informative and speaks great English. The therapists we had, Thanh Thaò, Thu Thaò, Giang, and Khánh, were excellent. They were incredibly professional and friendly. If you are planning on doing 10 treatments between parties I recommend the spa membership as it is the most affordable way to do this and gives you discounts on food at the restaurant. 10/10 would return the next time we visit Da Lat!

Nestled in a small corner in the center of Da Lat city, there is a very cute resort. I had a vacation here for 3 days and 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed all the services. The hotel was built with classic French architecture, and what impressed me was the quality of service and sophistication in the little things. If possible, I would like to thank all the staff here. Unfortunately, I only remember the names of a few of them, Sales Department Trinh, receptionists and bell men such as Nhi, Nguyen, Trinh, Lam, Bao, Linh, Son, Ai, Chuong. Hope this place is always peaceful, |magical and gentle in its own way. Thank you very much.|Ms. Thao Van
