Bad experience with massage, rough treatment and got the feeling she did not want to be there doing the massage. Above restaurant issues noted.

This hotel was not a good fit at all for us. We request king beds or 2 beds throughout our trip - this was neither. It was not central air, bathroom outside. I have breathing issues and we never assumed this would be an issues. Kimkim could not help us with a different property so we found our own property and transferred the next night. The toll away bed they brought in at a different villa was not suitable for my husbands back. This was a total disappointment. We loved where we transferred to and we’re able to solve our own issue .

Hi Susan,

Thank you so much for all your valuable feedback and amazing photos. I love to see your Facebook everyday, indeed!

I also appreciate your feedback on the unsuitable hotels. I think we will learn a lot from this experience and be more careful in our selection in the future. Thank you for your constructive feedback, and we are glad that we were able to share a small part of the costs with you. I hope to welcome you and your family back to Vietnam soon!
