There are some places so perfect you can't believe your luck in finding them. That was out experience at Pomelo Garden. The hotel we originally booked was very disappointing so we moved after one night. That disappointment brought us the great fortune of finding this little gem, tucked away in the rice fields between the town and coast. Part of me hesitates to write this review in case this place becomes to busy and popular, but the couple who run it (and live here with their extended family) deserve every possible success. Hoi and Vee (sorry about the spelling!) are the friendliest, happiest and most helpful hosts you could wish for. Nothing is too much trouble. You'd like a vegetarian version of something in the breakfast menu? Just ask! Some yoghurt to go with your morning fruit platter? No problem! Breakfasts are fresh, delicious and substantial. The juice is freshly pressed, often from fruit grown on their trees. In fact, you might have problems getting a coconut juice at night because it is too dark for Vee to climb a tree to get one! Food is available at lunch and in the evening; drinks are available all day. The minibar is priced the same as most local shops. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and pillows and efficient air conditioning. Outside the room was a small terrace with seating area overlooking the stunning gardens, pool and family fish farm. We saw butterflies, dragonflies and even a kingfisher. We borrowed the free bicycles and cycled into town with no problems. It's about fifteen minutes by bicycle, twenty if you take the longer but quieter and more beautiful route through the paddy fields. You can reach the edge of town within ten minutes. You are also well placed to cycle to the coconut village, coast and vegetable village. Taxis are easily available if you prefer. This was far and away my favourite place we stayed in Vietnam. In fact, the next time we see a good flight offer and have annual leave available we plan to come back for a two week stay. Don't hesitate, just book. You won't have any regrets. Just, please, don't come when I want to book!
