Looking for a place to relax for a few days on our way to Da Lat we spent 4 nights at Juliets Villas Resort. We found out when we got there that clients are usually Easy Riders who stay one or two nights maximum so we were a little unusual. ||||Our villa was large and cleaned daily. The bed was hard but that was to be expected, and we had a beautiful view of coffee fields (in bloom!) and the waterfall. The fan did not work and we asked for a floor fan which was provided. Water in the shower was hot although the water pressure was not good. A new shower head would help! ||We were surprised to see that the buildings and garden are looking a little worn and in need of attention. This is a pity because the surrounding area is so beautiful and it wouldn’t take much to make the improvements to the resort. Based on the photographs online we were expecting more. ||||The food was cooked to order and was good and the staff friendly and very helpful. They arranged for a private car to take us to Da Lat. ||The owner, Juliet, does not live on the property but a family member and two staff maintain the resort. Juliet did stay one night while we were there and took us on a walk through the Ethnic Minorities Village nearby. She and her family are well known in the area.||||We did not have transportation but enjoyed relaxing at the property as well as walking around the area. Wifi at the dining area was good most of the time. ||Overall, we had a good stay here and feel that with a little work Juliets could be transformed into a top of the line...

As a birdwatcher, the plan was to leave before dawn the following morning, bird a bit up the mountain, and continue to Da Lat. After a five minute chat with Pascal, and with an enthusiastic 'Yes!' from my wife and daughter, I cancelled the following night's booking at Da Lat and stayed another at Ivory Falls. It is utterly gorgeous, the most beautiful place we stayed in Vietnam. The food wasn't the greatest we had in the country, but eating out on the terrace overlooking the green valley is a wonderful experience. The rooms are large and clean and the beds comfy. One caveat -if you're not fond of dogs or cats, it's not for you. Five dogs and three cats have the run of the place, which we loved, but it's not to everyone's taste. But if you don't mind furry feet warmers, this is the...
Read moreWe recently visited Ivory Falls with a group of families and teenagers and had a fabulous time. If you want to get out into the countryside this is a great base for walks and bike rides and bird watching. ||The hosts are very welcoming. Phuong was so helpful catering for all our various dietary needs from gluten allergy, vegetarian and fussy. The food was great. The sourdough lived up to expectations.||Pascal has a good knowledge of the local area and came up with a new walk for us every day. ||We cant...
