hi guys welcome back to the channel my name's mandy my fiance lloyd and i have been traveling
southeast asia for the past seven months now and today you're joining us in sappa vietnam at one
of the most luxurious hotels we have ever stayed at hotel de la copo if you don't know where sapa
is or much about it it's a popular trekking base camp it's surrounded by rice terraces
it's absolutely stunning and it's located in the huang lian sun mountains it's actually a
really nice change in temperature in comparison to the other cities that we have visited and it
actually gets quite cold here in winter but right now it's absolutely beautiful we've actually done
a full travel vlog on sapa itself so if you're interested in viewing that i will link it above
for you but without further ado let's get into viewing this incredible property so the first
thing you'll notice when you pull up to your hotel is how grand it looks oh my goodness
underneath is actually a train station as well that does take you to the famous cable cars that
actually overlook sapa which is super convenient if that's something you want to do while you're
here but so the outside actually looks like a train station it's absolutely beautiful when
you come into the lobby you'll notice just the amazing french sort of nostalgic feel that you get
from all the decor and the artwork it's absolutely stunning from top to bottom very beautiful i was
stunned when we first walked in so a lot of the staff they're beautiful very attentive they're
just very traditional it's very nice everyone was very friendly when we checked in and we were just
in awe and we were given these this amazing hot chocolate to sit with as a welcome drink when we
first got here it was the best hot chocolate i've ever had i wish it was bigger and then so after
you have your welcome drink and you check yourself in you are escorted to your room so you will
enter through these amazing gold elevator doors that will take you up to your floor depending
on which room you are staying in we were staying on the eighth floor with a amazing view of sappa
when you first enter your hotel room the first thing that you will notice is the incredible open
concept of the room they have used glass dividers to divide from the bathroom through to the main
bedroom and then to your balcony which can be separated with incredible velvet curtains that are
heavy and luxurious absolutely beautiful and in our room it is painted and decorated an incredible
dark green which is one of my favorite colors so i really loved it in here and i really think it
sort of matched the outside of sappa itself being so green and lush bringing it inside as well when
you first walk in and you notice your massive big bath i was so excited and i definitely took
full advantage of this bath created a big bubble bath for myself did a face mask did a bit of
self-care that was so needed after all the travels that we've been doing that was the perfect way to
unwind the bathroom has incredible lighting inside of it little lanterns it's very nice
to set the mood if you are wanting just to relax in the bath you can turn off all the other lights
in the rest of the room and just have your mood lighting on i'm a huge lighting person i think
it's a very important concept for setting a tone or a mood and they nailed it absolutely beautiful
in this room if you want a little bit more privacy if you're staying in this room with someone else
like i was with my fiance lloyd it's very easy you just pull a curtain around the open concept
windows and you have a shut off room which gets really dark and nice and again is really beautiful
with that lighting moving into towards the bedroom you'll notice that you have a tv that's fully
equipped with movies television everything that you need just below that is a fully stocked mini
bar which we did take advantage of i did have a little beer while i was having my self-care
bath and lloyd had a beer and relaxed as well on the bed as well as when you open the cupboards
just next to that there are two big fluffy robes for you to check on to enjoy and relax in just
to make yourself feel completely at home which we pretty much wore the entire time that we were here
once you reach the bed you'll notice the incredible bed head with the french inspired
artwork above the bed it's so beautiful it's the comfiest softest cloud-like bed i have ever slept
on i had the best night's sleep i have had on this bed and it was very very hard to wake up in
the morning because of that you'll also notice the beautiful light fixtures that are either side of
the bed that are very stunning with very beautiful jewels hanging from them all of the artwork in
this room is very glamorous and very high quality very stylish french influenced it's beautiful
and it only makes me want to go to france more and more past your bed you will find your balcony
which looks out onto beautiful sapa itself the most beautiful town overlooking the mountains it
was a bit misty when we first arrived in the mountains having a look out here drinking a
tea you actually get to see the city center from here it was absolutely incredible we
were just blown away we stood out on the balcony and just gazed for hours in awe the city does come
quite alive you can hear horns and it does get a bit noisy but luckily the the doors here are
very soundproof so you can't really hear it from from your room so we did still sleep very soundly
after you've checked into your beautiful hotel room we recommend heading up to absinthe bar
so absent bar is up on the rooftop like the rest of the hotel luxurious french
influenced with beautiful beautiful food the view from absinthe bar was it was just
stunning as well we were up in the clouds it was so beautiful again you can look all over sappa to
the mountains all the greenery is absolutely beautiful very lucky to try the new menu
thank you to the manager who also brought us over some incredible white chocolate popcorn
espresso martinis and if that doesn't sound good honestly it tastes even better than it sounds
it it was really good the food was incredible and for just having appetizers we were full
and did not need dinner after just having these entrees so i definitely recommend
giving that a try if you're going to stay at the hotel it's very cozy beautiful atmosphere
and the bar itself is stunning after heading to absinthe bar we recommend going for a walk
through the garden in the courtyard this place is so well kept the plants the garden itself
is so stunning worth doing a walk through near sunset the lighting is just beautiful you can see
up through all the other balconies that are around in the hotel very beautiful we do recommend giving
that a little walk through it's pretty dreamy and at sunset it was really really nice at night when
the city does come alive you will see so many different lights and attractions and things the
hotel is actually in the city center and overlooks the city center so you can see a lot of different
music and concerts and people and so many tourists that all come to sort of congregate
in one area and you can see that from the hotel we do recommend heading into that area at night time
and going for a walk around definitely also try one of the local hotpot restaurants we went to
one and it was our first time doing a traditional hot pot and it was delicious we ate way too much
and that seems to be the thing to do here in sappa the best part also was that it was just
walking distance from the hotel so you're in close proximity don't need to take a taxi you can walk
and there's so much to see when you wake up in the morning we recommend heading down to the gym
if you are like us and like starting your day with a bit of fitness or yoga we head straight
to the gym and the gym is everything that you need also stunning very blue bright great music playing
inside the gym really gets you motivated to have a happy and healthy start to your day and you're
going to want that physical activity for a little bit later on because you're going to want to burn
a few calories first thing in the morning the gym is located just next to the pool which the pool is
the nicest pool i have ever swam in i have never seen anything like it there are so many sculptures
the lighting everything inside was just stunning i i felt like like i felt like i had to keep picking
my jaw up and lloyd and i just kept looking each other like where are we this is absolutely insane
it was just beautiful head to the gym have a swim at the pool and
then you have to head to the hotel buffet breakfast we have had so many buffets
over our time of living in hotels for the past nearly eight months and this one tops
all of them i've never seen a buffet breakfast that had a complete brie cheese wheel a donut wool
pork belly those are just a few of the things that i'm rambling off but we were just blown
away we ate way too much again this whole trip we ate way too much food but that buffet breakfast
topped every other one we have ever done the food here has just been absolutely incredible
so definitely make sure you include the breakfast and make it in time i know it's tempting to sleep
in because the room is so comfy but make sure you make it to the buffet breakfast in time
um i believe it goes till about 10 or 10 30 and eat your heart out because that food was
so good after spending a lot of time just hanging around the hotel there's so many different things
you can see here every bit every little detail has been thought of all of the artwork on the walls
the carpets the flooring everything has been thought out and it is stunning if you do have
the time to peel yourself away from this hotel we do recommend spending a few hours visiting cat cat
village it was a highlight of our time here in sappa it was one of a kind like something out
of a fairy tale so we do recommend taking a taxi to go see cat cat village i believe it was about
90 000 dong for entry and it was a little hiked down but it was absolutely worth it so
there's a little bit of advice to you if you are wanting to come and looking for something to do
during the day it wasn't too hot the beautiful thing about sapa is that it is in the mountains so
the temperature is a little bit more comfortable than that of the rest of vietnam and we really
really enjoyed it and if you're looking for somewhere to get married look if you've been
following our channel for a while you'll know that lloyd and i are actually on the hunt right now for
somewhere to elope we are very indecisive but this place seems to be at one of the
top options so far because it is stunning here and this hotel actually has a wedding function
room so if you are looking for somewhere that would be beautiful to have a wedding or a
ceremony i really think this would be a great option for you so that's just another thing
