Lakeside Dai Lai Hotel

景色还不错，但是如果选择住在2号楼，房东经常会关门，出行有点不方便。深夜回家要敲门，早上回家也得敲门。

Vị trí đẹp, phòng ốc rộng rãi, bể bơi sạch

My family of 4 stayed here for 1 night for a weekend away from Hanoi. This hotel is as described and my rating corresponds accordingly. The room was clean. The beds are firm but we all got a good night's sleep. English is very limited so if you can speak Vietnamese it will help a lot. A free pho breakfast was included. When the staff discovered my family is vegetarian they went out of their way to find an alternative. They made us special eggs on toast and coffee. It was very kind of them to help us in this way. (Vegans may need to pack their own food for this adventure.) The hotel is in an excellent location if you want to catch the ferry over to the island and walk about and see the water features, dinosaurs, temple and have fun at the water park. The ferry leaves 100 m down the hill from the hotel. There is a charge to enter the island (100k pax) and water park (100k pax). We had a fun half day at the island. We would have loved to stay longer and have lunch at the island restaurant but the food for vegetarians is generally very limited in this area. An islander seemed to suggest that the temple had vegetarian meals but it seemed to be closed during our visit. The restaurant at the hotel seemed to be open only for breakfast and being unfamiliar with this location and unsure where we could get a vegetarian meal, we decided to go to the flamingo resort to get lunch. We stayed at the resort for the afternoon and for dinner too. The resort wasn't as much fun as the island and it was very expensive (300k pax just to enter). I recommend visiting the island over the resort if you have limited time. I see enormous potential for this hotel. I think it could be a very popular destination with a bit of work and if the restaurant offering lunch and dinner (maybe they do and we just didn't know). A little information booklet or webpage, explaining the local attractions etc particularly for non Vietnamese guests would be a great addition. I wish the hotel much success.

Mình và bạn mình đã có trải nghiệm thú vị tại đây. Nhìn chung mọi thứ đều ổn. Điểm cộng: phòng đẹp, phong cảnh đẹp, nhân viên thân thiện. Mình rất thích khách sạn vì ngay cạnh hồ Đại Lải, buổi chiều mình đi bộ quanh đó ngắm hồ, ngắm núi, ngắm rừng. Là một nơi đáng để nghỉ dưỡng cũng như công tác dài ngày. Mình chắc chắn sẽ quay lại đây thêm lần nữa nếu có dịp.
