Nice view. The restaurant is very delicious. Staff are very caring. Especially, Mr. Phuoc – the restaurant manager is great, friendly and attentive. The receptionist Gam is very cute and the other staff are also very lovely.” reviewed on Tripadvisor platform.
“Good Service!
Three days to Pu Luong Nature is like heaven. The food was very good, we ordered one but the restaurant accidentally made two so they always gave it to us. The roasted duck with honey leaves and bitter soup were delicious. We booked a regular room but we were upgraded to the room with the best view. But the best thing is to soak in the pool and watch the sunset gradually descending on the hill.e distant mountains and in the heart of Pu Luong nature reserve.” reviewed on Tripadvisor platform
