I wonder if this property is over priced given its location. Seems like a lot for SE Asia this is not a knock on the property itself but just the cost in relation to some other high end competitors. I am drawn to it because it seems like a great bang for my points, but based on other comments it does strike me as a place I would not want to stay on my own (maybe I will meet a beautiful Vietnamese woman who I can take there, although I am unlikely to be in vietnam long enough to get to that point in a relationship). Also, since I have limited amount of time in Vietnam I think it would be a mistake for me divert there given everything else that there is to see. If I was with someone else AND I either had a ton of time in Vietnam or I had visited before then I probably would strongly consider this property.
