Cam Lam District Homestays

IMPORTANT - This resort is catered to Koreans and 90% of the guest are Koreans. Signs are in English, Vietnamese and Korean and everything is clearly meant for the Korean customers, from the transport service to town at 10am, 3pm and 9pm (Korean time 12pm 5pm and 11pm) to the breakfast spread which is heavy on pork and only 2 dish of chicken and beef. If you are fine with not being the main target customer, this place is okay. Otherwise, go elsewhere. Service was excellent, very attentive and customer focus, but slightly lack in attention to detail. For example, bringing pho noodles to our table at breakfast but not bringing chopsticks and spoon. Otherwise, it was excellent service, 4.5/5 stars. Location was great, nice view, nice atmosphere, 20 mins from airport. 5/5 can't get better. Resort policy is horrible. No outside food allowed, kitchen close by 9.30, so if you are hungry at night, you can't even order Grab food. In room water is only 2 bottles, you're expected to buy more water if you need more, tap water is not drinkable. Turn down service only offer you chocolate or biscuits but no extra water. Restaurant don't offer free still water, you have to buy that as well. Water is a basic human right, they actually try to monetize this. 1/5 hotel policy, utter failure of a resort. Room layout - We got cliff villa, but unfortunately for us, we got the last room at the edge of the cliff villa area. So that means unlike other cliff villa, our swimming pool is to the sides instead of the front of the building. Ferns and other plants are growing so when you are lying down on the bed or on the beach chair or in the swimming pool, all you see is plants, not the fantastic sea view. If you get room 512, you are getting a 'Plant Villa', not a cliff villa, because all you will see are plants, ask for room change because other villa get great view of the sea instead of plants. 1/5 rating, totalling not worth it for room 512 no matter how much they try to convince you that the villa has better view. (Yes, but only if you stand up. Not sure what kind of holiday people are having if they are suppose to stand up all the time). Overall stay 3/5 star. Service is 5 star, but everything else feel like 4 star hotel that's pretending to be 5 star. Policy need to be more guest friendly.

Look no further, this is the most delightful Vietnamese beach resort. The resort was nearly at capacity, we were told, yet it felt so secluded! The design is beyond compare, every detail is just perfect. All the staff was just so warm and welcoming: special thanks to Joe and Ny for making our special birthday getaway so memorable. I'm a spa snob and I thought with daily spa trea**ents included in your spa, they would be perfunctory, but I was wrong. The service and relaxation in the spa was divine, and the choices of services was a great variety. Don't miss the warm bamboo massage! I would recommend this resort to anyone, but especially those looking for a relaxing, quiet spa-focused holiday. Perfect for honeymooners or a girl's trip

This is a brand new hotel with all villa, inside the room is very very clean, bed is comfortable, faculties in the house are new (without kitchenware), but there is a little problem is you will find some little flies inside the villa (because of the drainage system problem), also outside the villa are quite dusty, I don't find mosquitoes around (maybe is not the season) , but honestly, hotel have to improve all the public areas cleanliness, swimming pools are very big, the beach sands are the white and fine but with many trash (hotel already have staff pick up the trash everyday but still many), staff are very friendly but have to improve more English, Cam Ranh is a new developing resort area with many hotels resort along the beach (few kilometers long, still building many resorts) , 5mins drive away from the airport (private taxi cost around: 80,000/way), 35mins drive away from city center (private taxi cost around: 300,000/way), there is a street ”Cau Moi” 10mins drive away from hotel with some seafood restaurants (many local people goes, need to compare the prices)

Despite so many positives; the beautiful villa, great kids' facilities and the great view, the place is massively let down by the restaurants. Not only was the service poor, the food was terrible. We ate at the restaurant 3 times, pizza was the only meal that was decent, all others were average to inedible. Our final night was ruined as we wasted 90 minutes waiting at the Tropicana restaurant for our food only to leave without eating our meals (first time I have ever done this) because all 3 dishes were terrible - rubbery squid that was hard to cut with a knife, beef fried rice that was 250k for a bowl of rice with two small bits of minced beef and the children's noodle soup which was hot water over instant noodles with a few bits of chicken, leaving a starchy mess. The server responded ”yes here is the beef” pointing at one of the two particles of minced beef he could find, and ”children don't like vegetables so we don't put them in the soup” a more disappointing response than the food. It was the only time I've left a restaurant. We had to go next door to the Raddison Blu Lobster in order to eat. The Movenpick is a beautiful hotel but be wary of the food and the stingy offering of water with additional bottles costing 60,000. Stock up on bottles of water and instant noodles, plan to eat at the excellent Raddison or as I heard from other guests- go to the airport for Burger King. A sad state of affairs for an international resort.

I spent three days with my family in the Alma Resort, our room type is the oceanfront villa has 3 bedrooms with a private pool, this was a wonderful villa. I can say this is the most beautiful resort recently and can say it was 5 star + and we absolutely loved it. Especially, there were 12 pools, a beautiful beach which was clean and plenty of sunbeds to relax on at the pools and beach. A multitude of things to do, yoga in the morning, a water park, mini golf, a tennis course, and even a cinema. The Service Center and Receptionist were friendly, they answered all our questions and also made sure we had everything we needed. We can't thank you enough for all of the staff. We were a bit sad we couldn't spend more time at this resort and we will come back here for the next holiday. Thanks a lot!

Recently we had a relaxing 9 nights at Radisson Blu Resort. We found our Junior Suite ocean view had beautiful views and very well appointed. Reception staff were very accommodating especially Diep who assisted to optimise our rooms aircon and was very professional. The breakfast was great as was the buffets dinners as offered a great variety of fresh produce to suit all nationalities and tastes! We found wait and bar staff very friendly in restaurants and bars even if language was a barrier at times- Thanh was very efficient and friendly! Peter the manager is very hands in to all aspects of resort and open to suggestions and listens! The spa staff were fantastic- enjoyed massages and facial very professional. The Manager of concierge was great to organise transport as a few local restaurants close by if needed a change of scenery. All in all relaxing time - you can always use the shuttle if want to go into town!

Here is an updated review of Ranh Riveria Resort using more of your original wording: Beautiful hotel on a fabulous location right on the beach in Nha Trang. I highly recommend getting a room on the upper floors of the main building for the fabulous views. The standard rooms are delightful, with nice balconies to sit out on and feel the ocean breezes. In the afternoon the balconies are shaded, which is just perfect for sitting and viewing the coastline. The food at the buffet was very good with healthy and vegetarian options available. The amenities provided everything needed - toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, earbuds, coffee/tea maker, bottled water. Thoughtful touches. However, do not order room service. The pizza and cocktail I ordered to the room were disappointing and not fresh like the food at the buffet. The all-inclusive alcohol is lower quality with lots of sugary mixers. I had to pay extra for soda water instead of sugary soda. The all-inclusive food is a good value but the alcohol package is not worth it in my opinion. The location right on the beach is fabulous. I highly recommend getting a room on the upper floors of the main building for the delightful views. Sitting on the shaded balcony in the afternoon breeze was a highlight of my stay.
