I recently stayed at Tom Hill Resort and
0:02
Spa in Puquac. And honestly, I wasn't
0:04
expecting to love it as much as I did. I
0:06
found the place kind of by chance during
0:08
the low season at a special rate. Just
0:11
600,000 VND a night or $23 for two
0:14
people with breakfast included, which
0:16
already sounded like a good deal. But
0:18
what I got was way beyond expectations.
0:21
The hotel is located at the top of a
0:23
hill, and that gives it something really
0:25
special. From the moment I arrived, I
0:27
was greeted by a sweeping view of the
0:29
ocean with the sky opening up in front
0:31
of me. The C view room I had was
0:34
spacious, clean, and bright with large
0:36
windows that let in the breeze and that
0:38
same incredible view. Waking up there
0:41
every morning felt peaceful. Just the
0:43
sky, the water, and total calm. Now, the
0:47
breakfast, it's served on a terrace that
0:49
overlooks the ocean. Just imagine
0:51
sipping your coffee as the sun climbs
0:53
above the horizon, surrounded by palm
0:55
trees, and fresh air. The buffet is
0:58
varied. Eggs, noodles, fresh fruits,
1:01
vegetables, warm dishes, and a few baked
1:04
goods, too. The chocolate bread had the
1:06
chocolate on top instead of inside,
1:08
which is a little messy in the tropical
1:10
heat, but honestly, it was still tasty.
1:13
The staff are friendly and keep things
1:15
replenished. And that view alone makes
1:17
every breakfast feel like a moment to
1:20
pause and enjoy life. The infinity pool
1:22
is a highlight right below the terrace
1:25
facing the sea. It's split into a
1:27
shallow space for kids and a deeper area
1:29
for adults. Floating there while
1:31
watching the sky change colors in the
1:33
late afternoon is one of those memories
1:35
I'll keep with me. The pool truly feels
1:38
like a rooftop pool, even though it's
1:40
part of a hillside. I've stayed in many
1:42
places across Vietnam, but for this
1:44
price, this is the best pool experience
1:46
I've had. Another unexpected plus, free
1:49
yoga classes, several sessions each day
1:52
in a calm, shaded space. Whether you're
1:55
a beginner or just want to stretch with
1:57
a view of the trees and sky. It's such a
1:59
nice way to start or end the day.
2:01
There's also a small gym, enough to stay
2:04
active. And location-wise, you're only a
2:06
10-minute walk to the beach and the town
2:08
center. Even better, the Vinbus free
2:10
shuttle stops right down the street,
2:12
which is super convenient if you don't
2:13
want to rent a bike. I had originally
2:15
booked just three nights, but I ended up
2:18
extending to 12 because it was perfect
2:20
for both relaxing and doing a bit of
2:22
remote work. The Wi-Fi was totally
2:24
reliable, even during video calls. In
2:27
short, Tom Hill Resort was a lucky find
2:29
that became one of the most enjoyable
2:31
and comfortable places I've stayed in
2:32
Southeast Asia. It's peaceful,
2:34
practical, and incredibly scenic. If
2:36
you're ever in Pukquac, don't overlook
2:38
this place. It's more than worth the
