I don't know how we afforded this place....but we're gonna enjoy the next two nights here!
Check out La Residence Hotel & Spa online! This place is so luxurious....I'm afraid to touch anything. If it weren't so far away from home....we'd definitely come back! We arrived around noon on our first day in Hue, and spent the next several hours chilling at the amazing resort swimming pool and hanging out with the rich Europeans! Not only is the pool huge....there's no shallow end! It's deep all-around....so we investigated the area and found some foam boogie boards to use as seats to keep us afloat throughout the day! We're using a lot of our free time in Vietnam to just relax! China was a bit hectic...and now we have some time to un-wind.... so we're choosing to lounge on the beach and/or drink all day by the pool!
We've decided to play it safe and stick to the hotel restaurant for all of our meals. We've still got a few days left on this vacation....and we don't want to risk getting sick on some of the shady restaurants around Vietnam. Unfortunately, the hotel menu is quite fancy....and the food looks so elegant that we're not sure whether to eat it or take a picture of it. Needless to say.... we are no longer starving. We're eating much better than we did in China. The hotel staff is instantly at our beck and call. Even when we just glance in their direction....they hurry over! You sure don't get this kind of service at the Holiday Inn! We plan to enjoy all this pampering while it lasts!
