Veggin' Out in Phan Thiet

1047435-799863-thumbnail.jpgAlthough trying to find just the right place to stay in each destination we visit can be a bit of a struggle, this time it was easy; on the recommendation of our friends Margot and Charlie who were in Vietnam last year, they told us we MUST stay at Victoria Resort and Spa.  Okay, they are permanently on our AWESOME list.

This resort was beautiful - located on 14 hectares of lush, tropical land, pressed up against the ocean and beach, we were in heaven.  Our beach front bungalow was just perfect, with a direct view of the ocean, an outdoor rain-shower, and a lovely froncolny (how Jason refers to front balconies).  The landscape of the entire property were wonderfully manicured with lots of pretty flowers growing everywhere, as well the pools were expansive and refreshing.1047435-799861-thumbnail.jpg

Our 48 hours here was all about pools, beach, food, and naps.  The internet connection was terrible and only available in the poolside bar, so we were forced to put our computers aside and just completely relax (a well needed break from these machines that seem to control us at times!)

From the stellar seafood beach bar-b-q, to the incredibly friendly and personable staff, and the amazing pools, we did not want to leave this place.  The only reason we didn't extend our time here was the lack of reliable communication (internet access), which puts a damper in Jason trying to run his company.

1047435-799864-thumbnail.jpgSad to say, we never even left the property of Victoria Resort to explore the surrounding area.  We feel okay about that, considering we've seen lots and lots of places over the past 4 months.  If you ever just happen to be in Vietnam (I mean who isn't), and are looking for a perfect, romantic getaway you have got to check out this place.

I am so glad you liked the Victoria Hotel and we feel so cool to have made it to the AWESOME list :) We extended our stay there by one day but we weren't worried about internet. Glad you got to unplug a little.
