Wonderful little boutique hotel situated in the government protected Tra Que organic vegetable gardens. The surrounding environment is very tranquil, a perfect remedy after the chais of Ho Chi Minh city. The managers Mr and Mrs P are perfect and attentive hosts who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The plot for the hotel is small and they have managed to creatively include a welcoming swimming pool maintained with natural salts rather than chlorine. This does offer a slight down side as the space struggles to accommodate a hotel that is full of guests. We had the hotel to ourselves for a lot if our stay which was fantastic, but when a large group of local tourists arrived the weekend there was s lot of noise. The owner and management tried to mitigate by moving us to the smaller of the two blocks and not let the rooms around us which we were grateful for the attempt, but if was still noisy. I think it’s mainly down to the differences in Western and Asian culture and expectations about a holiday break.
1. Most valuable and Cost effective : Not only price but also all of service, facilities, view and breakfast are beyond the price. I felt this hotel is above the other 5 stars hotels in Da Nang&Hoi An. I have been stayed in DN&Hoian at least a year so that I can compared with other hotels in this area. Definitely The Cilantro Villa is high quality and cost effective. Someone who will stay here will agree what I mean.
2. Sweet staffs : I got a warmest welcome from staffs. Staffs are not many - Its means you could make a good relationship with staffs. I feel like I'm a new fam member from them. They make an effort to help and to feel cozy. I got various garden fruits such as wild mango, passion fruits and other from them. It was always naturally juicy and sweet as sweet as. Cleaning was perfect.
3. Happy breakfast : Someone focusing on Hotel's breakfast how much it tastes. I'm not kind of man before. Unbelievably I was so excited for breakfast and can't wait what's next menu since first breakfast. Right, breakfast of the Cilantro is truly good. All of breakfast they served was fresh and my bias since I've enjoyed Vietnamese food. Perfect. I can't express how much I really loved it.
4. Delight in the beauties of nature : Covered with river and vegetable garden. recommend to stay here if you can drive a motorbike or bicycle. Avoid from crowd tourists and Feel fresh.
5.0 "Stay Here-The best staff and rooms in Hoi An!"
Best Hotel Stay! We were only in Hoi An for a few nights and found this family-owned villa - you need to stay! They are the most courteous and friendly people, a young couple with a delightful house! Breakfast in the mornings is local. fresh, amazing foods with a smile, bikes to go to the town or beach (minutes ride on bikes), and a sweet pool outside the villa. We will definitely be back - the Phuc family is so good to us. They made my girlfriend and I feel like honored guests and made our time there amazing. We can't say enough good things about them.
This accommodation was lovely, clean, modern and peaceful, among the lush, orderly gardens of the area. The proprieters were helpful, kind and engaging, going out of their way to assist us and make our stay enjoyable. They spoke English very well and helped us get taxis, recommended places to eat, brought us to a bus stop on the main road, got us some incense coils we wanted at the market. Breakfast was a delicious bowl of meat, cilantro and vermicelli in a lovely broth, with heavenly tea made from fresh lemon grass. This was by far the best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Vietnam. Being removed from the bustle of tourists in town was a pleasure, yet it was close enough to be cheap and easy to use a taxi to go back and forth. I would happily go back there.
