Escape to Paradise: Lee's EverRich Resort 1BR w/ FREE Sky Pool! (Ho Chi Minh City)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the shimmering, humid world of Ho Chi Minh City and the promise of Escape to Paradise: Lee's EverRich Resort 1BR w/ FREE Sky Pool! Now, I'm not going to lie, I've got a soft spot for sky pools. It's the sheer audacity of swimming in the clouds, you know? So let's see if this place lives up to the hype… and if I, a slightly chaotic travel reviewer, got caught in a downpour of issues.
First Impressions: The Sky Pool and the Siren Call of the Sliders
Okay, the free sky pool. That is the headliner, the big kahuna, the reason you're even considering this place. And honestly? It's pretty darn good. The view is… well, it's Ho Chi Minh City. A concrete jungle, yes, but a concrete jungle with a crazy, vibrant energy. From the pool, you can see the whole shebang. The pool itself is clean, not overcrowded, and the feeling of swimming up there, above the chaos, is pure bliss. They even had those awesome, giant inflatable sliders for the kids (and, ahem, the inner thirty-something me). I spent a good hour just blissfully careening down, giggling like a lunatic. My god, that felt good.
Now, about getting there…
Accessibility: The Real Challenge, or a Smooth Glide?
Alright, let's be realistic for a moment. Accessibility is key, and I'm going to level with you: the listing's description isn't the most detailed. While they do list "Facilities for disabled guests" as a service, precise details are absent. This sends a shiver down my spine. I'm guessing they might have an elevator, which is a must for a high-rise. But do they have ramps? Accessible bathrooms? Wide doorways? The devil, as they say, is in the details. From what I gather, being upfront with them is key before you book. Best to call and clarify.
Rooms: The 1BR, The Chaos, And the Quest for Peace
The 1BR unit felt… well, it felt like a hotel room. Clean, thankfully. Air conditioning blasted away the humidity, which I love. I swear, I’d pay extra just to be perpetually cold! The bed was comfy enough, but not the cloud-like experience I crave. They had "blackout curtains" – a genuine lifesaver for light sleepers like me. Seriously, those things are a gift from the gods. The "complimentary tea" meant instant coffee, not a huge deal breaker, but the amenities were basic. They had a mini-bar, but it was mostly filled with overpriced snacks, which is pretty standard. Oh, and the view? Not as spectacular as from the sky pool, but still decent.
Now, about the "Internet access – LAN" - who even uses a LAN cable anymore? Really? This is like finding a dial-up modem. Wi-Fi was thankfully free and available in the rooms (and in public areas), so that was a win. Thank god. The Wi-Fi could have been stronger, so I can say it definitely had its moments.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Deep Breath of Relief (Maybe?)
Okay, this is a big one, especially with the lingering COVID stuff. They claim they use "Anti-viral cleaning products", which is reassuring. They also mention "Daily disinfection in common areas" and "Rooms sanitized between stays." Hygiene certification is a big plus. They also seemed to be promoting "Physical distancing of at least 1 meter," which is good. Staff training? Check. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Check. But, and this is a big but, I didn't see them actively sterilizing and disinfecting constantly. I'm not saying this place is a germ factory, but I also wouldn't bet my life on it being pristine either. Ask questions.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious, Questionable Food
This is where things get… interesting. They have a bunch of options: "restaurants," "coffee shops," "poolside bar," "snack bar," and room service. Twenty-four-hour room service! Score! The "Asian cuisine in restaurant" was pretty solid, the pho was delicious. But here's the kicker: "Western cuisine in restaurant" felt a bit… off. Like a sad, lonely burger pining for its American homeland. Breakfast was a buffet, and while it was decent, I missed a true Western "big breakfast" with sausage and bacon. I'm addicted.
They also offer "alternative meal arrangements" which indicates they're flexible. Good. The breakfast "buffet" seemed a little chaotic, it wasn't as organized as I'd hoped. But the poolside bar was a saving grace. Drinks were reasonably priced, and the view from the pool, with a cocktail in hand, completely made up for the food shortcomings.
Services and Conveniences: The Good, the Bad, and the Laundry
They've got a lot of services listed: "Concierge," "Currency exchange," "Daily housekeeping," "Dry cleaning," "Elevator," "Facilities for disabled guests" (again, more detail needed!), "Laundry service," and more. My room was cleaned daily, the staff were polite, but the concierge could have been more helpful. They helped me with some things, but they weren't particularly proactive. The fact that I could order room service at 3 am? Golden. Essential.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Spa Days and Fitness Fiascos
The listing includes various relaxing offerings: "Body scrub," "Body wrap," "Massage," "Sauna," "Spa," "Spa/sauna," "Steamroom," and "Swimming pool." The spa treatments were decent, not the best I've ever had, but a welcome treat after navigating the city. The gym? Let's just say it looked like it hadn't been updated since the 90s, and I spent ten minutes on the treadmill. I needed a drink, I really needed a drink.
For the Kids: Babysitters, or Pandemonium Unleashed?
"Babysitting service," "Family/child friendly," and "Kids meal." Okay, perfect for families. I also noticed that there were "kids facilities", but there was no mention of what those facilities were. I didn't see a dedicated kids' area or anything like that, but families with kids are a theme throughout the resort.
Getting Around: Navigating the Saigon Streets
They have "Airport transfer," "Car park [free of charge]," "Car park [on-site]," and "Taxi service." Airport transfer is always a huge win, especially after a long flight. The free on-site parking is a bonus. Taxis are readily available, but be prepared for Saigon traffic, because it's utter madness.
Okay, So, Should You Book It? The Verdict
Here's the messy, honest truth: Escape to Paradise: Lee's EverRich Resort 1BR w/ FREE Sky Pool! is a mixed bag. The sky pool alone almost justifies the price of admission. It's a fantastic experience. The location seems pretty good – you're in the heart of the action, but the specific location and street address are missing from the description. The 1BR unit is functional, not luxurious, but perfectly adequate.
The food is a bit hit-or-miss. Accessibility is a big question mark. But, for the price, it's a decent option.
My Final Opinion:
If you're looking for a luxurious, flawless experience, maybe look elsewhere. But if you’re after a fun, vibrant, and affordable stay with a killer view, then YES, book it! Just be sure to clarify those accessibility details before you commit.

Escape to Paradise: Marincic Inn, Slovenia's Hidden Gem
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, chaotic mess that will be my trip to Lee's EverRich Resort, 1Br, Free Sky Swimming Pool in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Consider this less a polished itinerary, more a… well, a travel diary vomited onto a page. Prepare yourselves!
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Pool Predicament (aka, The Pool That Nearly Broke Me)
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM (ish): Flight to Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN). Ugh, flights. They're necessary evils, right? I swear, I always end up next to the snorer or the window-hogger. This time? Let's hope for a miracle. Pray for my sanity.
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM (give or take an hour): Airport chaos. This is a guaranteed stress test. Finding the right airport transfer is like a scavenger hunt. Pray the driver can actually read my (probably butchered) directions.
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (if traffic cooperates, which it probably won't): The Ride to Lee's EverRich. Buckle up, buttercups. This is where I'm hoping to capture some proper Vietnamese street life in action. But honestly… traffic scares me. And the scooters. Oh, the scooters. I'm going to be glued to that window, wide-eyed and probably making small whimpering noises.
11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (the hour of truth): Check-in, fingers crossed. I pray to the travel gods that the room actually looks like the pictures online. I envision a modern apartment, sleek and spotless. In reality, I'm mentally preparing for something a bit… rougher around the edges. (You know, like my last hotel room in Bangkok, where a gecko seemed to take up permanent residence on the ceiling.)
11:30 AM - 12:00 PM: This is it… the moment of truth - discovering the swimming pool. Honestly? I'm most excited about this, the free sky swimming pool is the one thing I really looked forward to.
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Pool Predicament! This pool. OH. MY. GOD. The view from the pool is breathtaking. Picture the Saigon skyline, shimmering in the midday sun. It's the stuff Instagram dreams are made of. But… and here's the kicker… THE WATER WAS FREEZING! I swear, I dipped a toe in and it felt like an icy plunge. My initial reaction was pure, unadulterated disappointment. I'd come all this way for a refreshing swim, and I was faced with a watery, icy chasm.
I'm usually the first person to jump in the water, but with this pool, I was hesitating. I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and slowly, tentatively, entered the water. It was excruciating. I wanted to scream. I could barely breathe from the shock. My teeth chattered, and for a moment, I contemplated just getting out. But the view… the sheer, magnificent audacity of the view was too much to resist. So I stayed in, albeit briefly. I lasted about 5 minutes and made it out and shivered.
Rambling Aside: This is where my inner drama queen took over. Did I consider faking a drowning to get some attention? Absolutely. Did I contemplate building a small fire pit on the side? Maybe. Did I actually get out and run to my room to find a fluffy robe and hot tea? You BET your sweet bippy I did! This pool, this damn pool, was going to be my personal Everest. I would conquer it! (Or at least bravely endure it for a quick dip each day. We'll see.)
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Recovering from the Pool Trauma. Warm shower, fluffy robe, and a strong cup of Vietnamese coffee (sweetened with condensed milk, because, you know, indulgence is key). I'm going to need to warm up.
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Quick, casual lunch by a decent restaurant. I'm talking Pho. Or maybe banh mi. Whatever it is, it needs to be quick, cheap, and delicious. I may have to Google-translate my way through the menu. Wish me luck.
3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Exploring. I'm thinking a stroll around Saigon. I'm no history buff, but I do want to soak in the atmosphere. I need to find a place to buy a local sim card. I am dependent on Wifi and it's driving me crazy.
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner. I'm hoping to find a good restaurant, one that's not just for tourists. Street food is a possibility after my first pool experience.
7:00 PM - Bedtime: Relaxing with a book or watching movies.
Day 2: Food, Markets, and More Pool Drama
- Morning: Pho! Need to get a fix of Phở, I think I'll just find a good place close by.
- Afternoon: Ben Thanh Market. I'm hoping to score some souvenirs, maybe some knock-off designer goods (don't judge!). I'm prepared to haggle like a pro. (I’m lying. I will be utterly pathetic, but I'll give it a shot).
- Evening: Back to the pool! The icy water calls me, like a siren (a very, very cold siren). Pray for me.
- Night: Find a rooftop bar, drink cocktails, feel on top of the world.
Day 3-5: The Unwritten Chapters
These days are a beautiful, messy blank canvas. I'm leaving room for spontaneity, for wandering down alleyways, for getting gloriously lost, and for stumbling upon the unexpected treasures that make traveling worthwhile.
- Possible explorations: Cu Chi Tunnels (if I'm feeling adventurous). War Remnants Museum (if I'm feeling a bit more serious). A cooking class (because I secretly want to become a banh mi master).
- Guaranteed: More street food, more coffee, more (and hopefully less traumatic this time) pool time.
- Likely outcome: I will miss my flight home. I will eat something I regret. I will embarrass myself in some spectacular fashion. But I will also have an amazing time.
Important Considerations & Quirky Observations:
- Mosquitoes: I envision myself as mosquito buffet. I've packed enough bug spray to sterilize a small country. Wish me luck.
- Traffic: I'm terrified of crossing the street. I've heard there's a specific technique. Apparently, you just walk slowly and confidently into the chaos and hope for the best. Pray for me. Seriously.
- The Language Barrier: My Vietnamese vocabulary consists of "xin chà o" (hello), "cảm ơn" (thank you), and "bia" (beer). I anticipate a lot of pointing and gesturing.
- Emotional Reaction: I'm expecting to feel a rollercoaster of emotions: excitement, anxiety, awe, frustration, pure joy, and the occasional wave of utter exhaustion. This is what travel is all about, right?
So there you have it. My utterly unpolished, highly caffeinated, and slightly hysterical travel "plan." Ho Chi Minh City, here I come! (Wish me luck. I'll need it.)
Palawan Paradise: Chill Out at This Unbeatable Beach Resort!
Okay, Escape to Paradise... Sounds *too* good to be true. Is it? Really?
Alright, deep breaths. My inner skeptic *screamed* when I saw this. "Free Sky Pool?!" I thought, picturing hordes of screaming children and cloudy water. But, and this is a big but, it's *mostly* true. The EverRich Resort itself... It's fancy, you know? Real fancy. Picture gleaming towers and manicured lawns. It's the kind of place you feel slightly underdressed in, even if you're rocking your best vacation gear. The 1BR apartment itself? Surprisingly spacious. I was expecting shoebox, got… well, not a mansion, but definitely livable. And the view? Okay, *that* part is actually paradise-adjacent. Seeing the city sprawl out from up there, especially at sunset, gave me actual goosebumps. It’s not flawless, mind you, but the "escape" part? Solid work, resort.
The Sky Pool – Spill the Tea! Is it Instagrammable? (And is it *actually* free?)
*Sigh*. The Sky Pool. Yes, it's Instagrammable. Like, *ridiculously* so. I spent a solid hour just trying to capture the perfect angle, mostly failing because everyone else was doing the same. The water is clean, the views are incredible. The fact that it's *free* is, well, mind-blowing. I'd expect to pay at least a small fortune for that kind of access in other places! Here's the catch (because there always is one): it can get *busy*. Very busy. Like, fighting-for-a-sunbed-worthy crowded. I'm talking about early mornings or late evenings might be your best bet. I once tried going at midday and felt like I was in a sardine can. Found one little area to chill, but not worth it. But honestly, the view from the pool is worth a little jostling. Just bring your chill vibes (and maybe a good book to distract yourself from the sunbed wars).
What's the deal with the location? Ho Chi Minh City's a big place.
Okay, truth time. It's not *smack-dab* in the city center. It's a bit out, in District 7, which is a more… *upscale* (read: less chaotic) area. This is both a blessing and a curse. It's quieter, definitely. You're not getting the constant motorbike symphony outside your window. But getting *to* the action requires a Grab (the local Uber/Lyft situation). And traffic in HCMC is a beast, people. Be prepared for some travel time. On the plus side, District 7 has its own charms. Parks, decent restaurants, some cute cafes. I found some amazing street food nearby, which was a total win. But if you're the type who *needs* to be in the thick of things, this might not be your ideal location.
The 1BR – Is it actually *livable*? I'm picturing a tiny hotel room...
Nah, it's much better than a tiny hotel room. Much. It's got a proper living area, a (small, but functional) kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The decor is… well, it's… resort-y. Think neutral colors, some generic artwork, and everything perfectly clean. (I am a messy person, so maybe this is the problem). I was actually able to relax. I could spread out, work remotely (thanks, reliable Wi-Fi!), and just generally feel… human. The kitchen is a lifesaver for breakfast, and midnight snack runs. You will not be disappointed. Think about it, a full apartment with a fantastic view. It is quite a win.
What about the downsides? Because there *has* to be downsides...
Okay, here we go. The downsides. First, the location, as mentioned, isn't perfectly central. Second, while the apartment itself is nice, it's not exactly dripping with character. It's functional, but a little… bland. Third, and this is a weird one, the elevators. Sometimes they were SLOW. Like, painfully slow. I'm talking multiple-floor-stops-before-I-reached-my-level slow. I started taking the stairs sometimes just to save time. And finally, the resort itself can feel a little… sterile. Like, I'd love to see a bit more life, maybe a little outdoor cafe, something. But overall? Minor, but I’m just nitpicking at this point. Really, it’s a good deal for what it is.
Is it good value for money? Honestly?
YES. Absolutely. Unequivocally YES. Considering you're getting a fully equipped apartment, access to a stunning pool, and the overall experience... This place punches *way* above its weight. I actually felt guilty at times, like I was somehow scamming them. It's a steal. I would pay more (don't tell them that).
Okay, let's get slightly more specific. Is the *internet* good? I need to work sometimes...
Alright, crucial question. Because, yes, you need to be connected in this day and age. The Wi-Fi in the apartment itself was *excellent*. I'm talking consistent, reliable, fast enough to stream movies and participate in video calls without any major hiccups. I actually got more work done there than I do at home because I wasn't constantly distracted by the internet. Not to mention, you can just go out onto your balcony with a coffee and actually get some *sunshine* while you work, it’s a win-win. Wi-fi in the lobby areas was also solid. However, the pool… sometimes the Wi-Fi would glitch out. I wouldn't be so willing to work there anyway, so I wasn't too fussed. So, basically, 95% good, but be prepared to go radio silent at the pool sometimes.
Anything to be wary of? Like, hidden fees? Or… ghosts?
Okay, no ghosts (that I could tell, anyway). As for hidden fees, I didn't encounter any outrageous ones. Be aware of the usual: potential for extra charges if you trash the place (which, let's be honest, you shouldn't), or if you use the mini-bar (I always check, even if I don't use it just to be safe). The biggest potential "gotcha" is the cost of getting Grab rides if you are not looking to walk a lot. Factor that into your budget if you're planning on exploring the city. But otherwise?
