Zannier Bai San Ho

A highly recommended resort ～

We stayed at *Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô* in March and were absolutely blown away by the beauty of this property. The architecture, decor, and attention to detail are simply breathtaking. We’ve never experienced such a stunning beach resort, with our private pool and villa set far apart from the next, ensuring complete privacy and tranquility. The resort itself is vast, with the reception and main restaurant perched on a hill, offering spectacular views. The common pool area is also lovely. The food was exceptional, including breakfast—local dishes were exquisitely presented, and every meal felt like a treat. We had lunch daily at the beach restaurant, which was not only beautiful but also well-located, with sun loungers available for guests in the mountain villas. The beach itself is long and perfect for walks, and moving around the property was seamless with golf carts provided by the hotel. Our villa was enormous and tastefully designed, featuring a walk-in closet, a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub, as well as both an indoor and outdoor shower. The private pool was equally impressive. The spa was a unique experience, with minimalist and brutalist architecture, offering something different from the usual resort-style wellness centers. Now, why only 4 stars for such an incredible place? Unfortunately, the major downside was the floating garbage in the sea. Large plastic bags—likely from nearby shrimp farms—were constantly washing up onshore. While the hotel had two dedicated staff members cleaning the beach throughout the day, the stretch of sand is so long that by the time they reached one end, new debris would already appear at the other. While the water itself looked clear, it was unsettling to swim with floating plastic around, and we ended up spending most of our time in our private pool instead. If not for this issue, *Zannier Hotels Bãi San Hô* would easily be one of our favorite vacation destinations. However, until a long-term solution is found (perhaps through a social initiative involving local fishermen), we don’t see ourselves returning.
