I came in rainy season and needed a 5-star in case I got rained out, which happened.
Room: I had a deluxe king room. Room 626 was a corner room, spacious, nice bath. I'd recommend it, though all the deluxe rooms are great. They built the hotel into the side of a mountain. It's hard to get a bad view, unless you’re getting a room labeled that way. The Lobby is actually the top floor. I'm here on off-season. I found it super quiet up here. Bed very comfy. Sheets crisp white. Sapa is in nature, so a lot of people do experience bugs at other hotels. I did not. I think they spray discreetly to minimize that.
SPA: I got rained-in, so thankfully the facilities were great. The hotel has a jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna. These are SOOO key if you're coming during rainy season. It’s a bit chilly. Also a great perk if you’re doing a lot of activities. Spa is on the lower floor, so you can enter the hotel from there if you’re walking up to the resort.
SERVICE: I had a SNAFU on booking and though the hotel was full, and it was 4am, staff really tried to help as best they could. I'd double check reservation for Asian countries if booking through expedia and arriving at odd hours like I did. The managers offer a VERY high level of service. They must know that it can be difficult for non-Vietnamese to navigate. I'm limited review length, but seriously, I have more stories of staff going out of their way in 2 days then I do during weeklong stays in other places.
