La Veranda truly is a magical place. Sure, as is evident from the pictures, it is an incredibly beatiful place. The idyllic boutique hotel, with its tropical garden and exquisite buildings, overlooks a wide pristine beach where you'll have plenty of space to enjoy the ocean. The main building is gorgeously decorated and it will be impossible to resist having one of the hotel's signature drinks on the veranda overlooking the sun setting in the ocean. The rooms are gorgeous and impeccably cleaned. The food is absolutely amazing. The breakfast is spectacular and was the highlight of our day - the Vietnamese dishes offered at breakfast could compete with most of the dinners we had had during our stay in Vietnam, not to mention the pho. Mix that with a great offering of Western options - do not miss out on the Egg Benedict - and a wide variety of options, coupled with bottled fresh juice, resulted in the most enjoyable breakfast experience I've ever had. Be sure to try out the many great dishes offered at the garden restaurant (Le Jardin) and DO NOT miss out on the Vietnamese buffet offered once a week or so. And, not least, the food at the main restaurant (The Peppertree) will guarantee to blow you away. The complementary daily activities offered by the hotel were really enjoyable and provided a really nice complement and touch to our stay. We made sure to attend all of them - the afternoon tea, the cooking class, the rum tasting were all great. Do not miss out on those, nor the great spa! But what truly makes this place so special is the service. The kindess, attention and hospitality that the staff - all of the staff - at La Veranda shows you will draw you in and make you feel right at home. At the end of the stay, it felt like leaving a family.

Very good selection of fresh produce for breakfast.

Larger selection of Asian fruits for breakfast….lychee, rambutan….and pineapple would have been good.

From check-in till check out the ALL the staff were fantastic. Very personal attention, nice welcome drink, excellent bed room, Peppertree restaurant was awesome. Had 2 great spa experiences as well.

Unfortunately the adjacent hotels might get a wee bit noisy early evening (this is a typical Vietnamese hotel management problem thinking that loud boom boom music is welcomed by the tourists while sipping a drink near the bar / beach and enjoying the lovely sunset! Maybe mainland Chinese and Russians love it?) but it doesn't detract from our awesome experience in the very lush surroundings.

People and service orientation make this place exceptional, the team is eager to make your time at the resort simply wonderful and they succeed most of the times. We loved the beach - smooth sea entrance, super clean, well attended, spacious & picturesque; the design and relaxed & elegant air of the property; spa and yoga classes - thank you Thu!; great cocktails at Le Bar; and the eloquent cuisine of the Peppertree restaurant. We visited La Veranda second time after 13 years and were happy to find out that all good things we cherished from our first stay are still upheld. All in all, big warm thank you to Ms Van Cu and her amazing team for taking such good care of us!

The hotel surroundings though have changed quite a bit since 2010. A busy town is just a step away. Noisy and crowded bars on both sides of La Veranda beach, regular smoke clouds from garbage being burnt by locals somewhere in the city.

What a beautiful stay! We loved the French colonial style of the hotel. The room was super comfy. The beach and sun loungers were well catered for with more than enough space (unlike the surrounding hotels). Food was great. The best thing about La Veranda is undoubtedly the friendly, genuine and helpful staff. Extra special shout out to Sam, who was so incredibly proactive and attentive - he is a gem! The Vietnamese food experience was absolutely delicious! Madame Catherine's spirit was certainly felt! Will be back!

Nothing.

Attention to detail outstanding across the board. Staff excellent, so attentive esp Cam (reception)Duong and female supervisor in restaurant just wonderful! Food and cocktails amazing, can go on and on. Staff training is exceptional and it really shows !

NOTHING

This property is beautiful with lush vegetation all around. We loved the pool and beach plus the eating areas on the large verandah was a lovely, relaxing setting. We really enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the restaurant, plus the free afternoon tea on two of the days that we were there. Exceptional food. All staff were so friendly, helpful and flexible. We appreciated a late check out to fit in with our plane departure time. I would definitely stay here again.

Best to book breakfast on line when booking the room as much cheaper than paying the price when you are at the hotel.

Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful Property was maintained to an excellent standard Food in the restaurant was lovely

Gracious French colonial style property ,aesthetically very attractive . Impeccable housekeeping and maintenance.Lovely cocktail bar and terrace. Nice pool , effectively a private beach area. Walking or very short taxi to many good restaurants. In house dining options good but very expensive compared with what's available outside.

Hard to find anything to criticise although breakfast not included in room rates - it was everywhere else in vietnam. In room instant coffee doesn't really cut it at this level - especially in vietnam.( In contrast the teas provided were outstanding)
