Quick Take: A flawless, ultra-luxury sanctuary that feels like a private island, provided you ignore the half-finished 'ghost town' developments just outside the gates.
Reviewed by @vikulyahappiness1562613: I stayed in this Ocean View Suite and the layout was incredible. The terrace became our go-to spot for sunsets, and the bathroom felt like a personal sanctuary. It's rare to find a twin room that feels this upscale and spacious—perfect for traveling with a friend.

Before you book
Good to know
- Download the IHG app; it's useful for ordering buggies and room service
- Grab (Uber equivalent) works perfectly here for getting to Sunset Town or Duong Dong
- The 'complimentary' laundry is per bedroom, so a 2-bedroom villa gets 6 pieces daily
What to pack
- Mosquito repellent (lush gardens = bugs, though the hotel provides some)
- Smart casual dinner wear (Oku and Bar Jade have a chic vibe)
- Swim goggles (the pools are stunning and you'll spend hours in them)
Room Genie
Best picks
- Ocean View Suite (Sky Wing) for the best views and privacy
- Sky Pool Villa for a 'penthouse' feel with a private infinity pool high above the resort
Rooms to avoid
- Lagoon Pool Villas (ground floor) if you want total skinny-dipping privacy
- Garden Pool Suites if you prefer ocean views over a walled garden
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would appreciate a high-floor Ocean View Suite in the Sky Wing to maximize the sea view and privacy. Please avoid ground-floor units near the main buggy pathways.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, during the dry season (Nov-April). In the rainy season (May-Oct), red flags often fly due to rough surf and currents.
Is it worth upgrading to a villa?
Only if you need the extra space or a private pool. The base 'Ocean View Suites' are massive (78sqm) and arguably have better views than the ground-floor villas.
How far is the night market?
The Duong Dong Night Market is about a 20-minute drive. The hotel is in a quieter, developing area.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, it is very family-friendly with a dedicated Kids Club (ages 4-12), kids' pool, and daily activities like cinema time.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's spectacular. Check your specific rate, but most bookings include the Rice Market buffet.
What is the deposit policy?
Standard luxury hotel hold; usually one night's rate plus incidentals.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask for the 'off-menu' cocktails at Bar Jade; the bartenders love a challenge.
- ✨
The 'Garden Pool Suites' are often used for upgrades; they are lovely but can feel a bit dark/enclosed compared to the Ocean Suites.
- ✨
Use the complimentary bikes to explore the resort grounds, but don't expect to bike far outside the gates.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Ghost Town' vibe immediately outside the resort gates (stalled construction projects).
💡The glass on the balconies can get salty/dirty quickly due to the sea spray (housekeeping cleans it, but it happens fast).
💡You can order a 'floating breakfast' for your private villa pool, but it's mostly for Instagram (eating wet toast is awkward).
💡The 'Serenity' luxury yacht owned by the hotel offers sunset cruises that are actually worth the splurge.
💡The toiletries are Acqua di Parma – very high end.
