When to visit, where to stay, and what to do. Da Lat is like no other city in Vietnam. The town is located in the central highlands, a mountainous region known for its cool weather and beautiful hilltop views. Additionally, the people of Da Lat are very nice and friendly. Strangers wave at you, pedestrians smile as you walk by, and the whole town as a very upbeat and positive atmosphere. Ice cream is a nickle. Lastly, this is a great community for anyone who likes outdoor activities. You can hike up mountains, go boating.
Because of this, I recommend that you stay downtown. Or, at least within a few minutes of the city-center. There are so many options online, that it gets too overwhelming. Below are my top three picks for staying in Da Lat. The staff is friendly, the rooms are nice and spacious, and you get several great amenities. Ones that really help to maximize your time here. Every room comes with a complimentary breakfast.
The Da Lat Palace is a five-star, historical, luxury resort. A golf course, a library, fitness centers and tennis courts, complimentary bottled water, and free bathrobes. Despite the terrific amenities, and exquisite comfort, the Da Lat Palace is still surprisingly affordable.
The temperate climate makes it easy to enjoy all sorts of fun outdoor activities, from paddle boating around likes to hiking up mountaintops. This is a 2, meter climb, and the view is spectacular. This is fun for afternoon walks, fishing, and early evening paddle boat rides.
When you have some down time, head out here and relax. Read a book by the water, or grab an ice cream cone and walk along the shore. Women are friendly here, and foreigners are a rarity giving you a nice, exotic appeal. As such, day game is your best bet. Go to the coffee shops, or walk around the town square at night. When you see a hottie, walk up to her and start talking. Likewise you can always try meeting girls online.
