Hotels with smoking rooms in Gulf of Thailand

"Salinda is a beautiful, private location. It’s like being on an island by yourself. The view of the beach and pool are spectacular and the gardens are lush. Everything is integrated with nature and it is healing and recuperative and a great way to unwind after the rush, rush of traveling through Japan and mainland Vietnam. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was great too (though we only ate the breakfast in-site—we ate at local restaurants for dinner (I highly recommend the Lobster Cave, near the night market.). Salinda staff cleaned our rooms every day without being asked; towels and umbrellas are provided depending on your needs and everything is provided with loving care. I truly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Salinda and will definitely try to come back. The only negative: it doesn’t appear that the hotels and bars in Vietnam don’t really understand how to make international cocktails. (Like pina coladas (not blended) for my daughter, or cosmopolitans for me.). But it’s a minor complaint. Everything else was top notch."

"My wife and I loved fair house villas it’s a perfect location offering a range of options like dinner, markets, beaches and party areas. "

"This was a family of 5 stay, with 2 toddlers and 1 teenager. Everyone loved it. The kids club was great for the toddlers and they have scheduled activities. Maybe after age 6 or 7 it could be to baby-ish. The private pool was aaaaaaaamazing, especially for a night swim. We had the two bedroom villa. Breakfast and dinner was included in our stay. The buffet had lots of variety for the a m. and p.m. The food was decent some dishes were really good. I would definitely consider the food pkg bc outside the resort, nearby, is nothing (that we saw of). There is a shuttle that takes you to Vinwonders and the safari. The hotel staff was nice, the pool was nice, the beach was nice. The property is huuuuuuge. There are coconut and mango trees everywhere. The bed and sheets are standard. The villa itself is aaaaaamazing. It does have a kitchen but we had not dishes or cookware in ours, odd. But we also didnt plan on using it anyway. We did order room svc, the pizza, Ceasar salad, and spring rolls were NOT good. The burger was decent."
