We enjoy the pool, so we always grab the pool side if we can. There is a table and two chairs on the patio, ideal for reading the papers in the morning or have a light lunch or early poolside dinner. It is also on the same floor as the spa, which makes getting back to your rooms afterwards, easier. If the pool is noisy, or you need privacy, go inside with the drapes drawn, and ask the butler to make some afternoon tea. During the rainy season, take the city views, sunny and outdoorsy take the pool is my take on Saigon.
