Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Lapochine Resort. There was a large group that came in on our second day and since the hotel knew is was our wedding anniversary and we preferred a quiet room, they nicely upgraded us to a very quiet nice room on the beach. Ms Tu at reception was so nice and thoughtful, she thought of everything we might need during our holiday. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Hue.

A wonderful beach resort.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day stay at this beautiful resort. Their reception was impressive and very welcoming. The rooms were elegantly appointed and comfortable. The included breakfast was plentiful and delicious 😋. The large pool was warm and there were quite a few lounge chairs and umbrellas poolside and beachside. The restaurant served good and affordable food for lunch and supper. We would gladly go back.

The room were fantastic - large and very nice. The happy hour a cocktail options were excellent. The local beach just next to the hotel was full of pollution. The swimming pool needs to be cooled somehow - was very warm and unpleasant to swim in in hot weather. The spa had some renovations happening. It is a little out of town. The local seafood restaurants next door were great. The grounds of the Ana Mandara were lovely - very well maintained. The BBQ on the beach was a highlight. Welcome drink delicious.
