Vinpearl Resort & Spa Nha Trang Bay

Not being used to Resorts, this was an entirely new experience for us. Vinpearl Resort & Theme Park is on an Island off the coast of Nha Trang City, and we checked in at the mainland station; everything was very lavish and new, and the process was Ok, if a bit convoluted. A bit like Disney, the place runs like a gigantic machine. We were taken by large passenger speedboat to the island, where we got an electric Tuk-Tuk bus to our particular hotel (there are several on the island). We finalized our check in there, then went by personal Tuk-Tuk to our Villa. I'd booked one of the independent Villa units separate from the main hotel, and it was like a full-size home. Situation among beautiful flowers and vegetation, with a private deck and small private swimming pool, the place was amazing. High ceilings, three toilets, two bedrooms, it was like a small palace. Beds, furnishings and amenities were very nice. Having the whole space to ourselves, and especially the private pool, was outstanding. Getting anywhere or going to eat was a bit of a process; one had to call reception and order the Tuk-Tuk to come and take you where you'd like to go. The Beach and massive public pool at the main Hotel were amazing, stunning in size and beauty. I rented a Jetski from the Watersports team and it was amazing. The famous cable-car to the mainland was magical, and allows you to easily cross back to Nha Trang; the speedboat service is also available to transit with. Overall the Villa and the setting are beyond stunning, and I'd happily have spent a week there, and the resort experience I'm sure is comparable to any such place.

The island itself has a very good infrastructure. It is very green, has restaurants and electric cars to drive you around. All the common areas are very clean. The sunbeds were sufficient if you look further along the beach. The beach itself is white sand and a very calm water with no waves or rubbish. A lot of staff members are there to help you, but English is still a problem when communicating. We liked the buffet breakfast and lunch, has lots of variety. The room was spacious with a sea view. The entertainment could be better on the pool or on the beach, because everything except the ball was for money. Only 1 ball for available, and they take it from you once it’s 7 pm sharp.

Fantastic location on the beach, amazing view. Staff are excellent, polite and helpful. Beautiful comfortable room. Breakfast very good except every morning they ran out of coffee cups or one of the coffee machines wasn't working. One day stood in the line for almost 10 minutes. Not sure if the Lagoon Beach club is actually part of the resort but the food there was very average, no vegetables or salad to choose. The Imperial Club about 500 metres away on the other hand was very good. We ordered way too much food as staff did not guide us as to how big the servings so a lot got wasted. Biggest problem we had was, we could not get money changed. We had a travel card but it was not working in Vietnam and the hotel would only allow us to change $100 one day (which was Sunday) but today Monday at 12.00noon they had no money. Luckily we were travelling with friends who had a little extra changed so they could lend us enough to get by.

The resort itself is pretty great. It has three restaurants to choose from, not including The Imperial Club and the other hotels on the island. The beach is nice and has a good amount of chairs and huts. The staff are quite helpful and efficient when it comes to getting you on and off the island. The cleanliness is amazing and our favourite restaurant was the Oceania Italian.
