I had a wonderful stay at APEC Mandala Hotel. The facilities were excellent, the room was beautiful, and every aspect of the hotel exceeded my expectations. However, what truly made this stay unforgettable was my butler, Dương.
I arrived at the hotel feeling very unwell, and from the moment I checked in, Dương went above and beyond to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. He anticipated my needs before I even had to ask and genuinely cared about how I was feeling. His kindness, warmth, and attentiveness were unlike anything I’ve experienced at a hotel before.
Not only was he incredibly professional, but he was also so friendly and funny. We were constantly laughing together, and he made me feel completely at ease despite travelling alone in a country where I didn’t speak the language. He never made me feel isolated. instead, he made me feel looked after like family.
When I needed to withdraw cash, Dương personally took me to the ATM. Then, when I realised I’d need more than I’d originally withdrawn, he happily came back with me without hesitation. It was such a simple gesture, but it perfectly summed up his willingness to help with absolutely anything.
The moment that really showed how exceptional he is was when he messaged to ask if I needed anything. I had fallen asleep and didn’t reply. Rather than assuming everything was fine, he actually came to my room to check on me because he was genuinely worried about my wellbeing. That level of care is incredibly rare and meant so much, especially when I wasn’t feeling my best.
Dương didn’t just provide excellent service, he showed genuine compassion. His kindness, patience, and generosity transformed what could have been a difficult trip into one I’ll always remember for the right reasons. He is a true credit to APEC Mandala Hotel, and I sincerely hope the management recognises what an extraordinary employee they have. Thank you, Dương, for taking such wonderful care of me. You didn’t just make my stay better
you made it unforgettable.

Anonymous UserAlthough a bit far from the city center, this resort is quiet and has fresh air. I had a comfortable stay during my 3 nights here. Especially, there are two swimming pools, one for adults and one for children, and the breakfast includes delicious kimchi, which is a big plus. The in-room refrigerator is refilled daily with 2 free beers, 2 cokes, and 2 sparkling waters, and snacks are also replenished daily. Every night, the band enthusiastically performs live music at the cafe. Daily city tours are offered exclusively to full-day registrants in the morning. Additionally, there's a pick-up and drop-off service to the Walking Street in the evening. This is a very good resort, and I'd like to visit again next time. My only disappointment was that the shower filter turned a deep ochre color with rust after just three days of use. I highly recommend bringing several filters with you. There was no sign to request room cleaning, but if you just go out, the room gets tidied up. After cleaning in the morning, they even come back in the evening to make the bed. Please note that the room is tidied twice a day. Aside from the rusty shower water, everything else about this resort is excellent and satisfying.

Guest UserIt was a perfect vacation.
This was a family trip with our 5-year-old child.
There were fruit flies in the breakfast restaurant, and they were landing on the fruit. Some action needs to be taken, I think. Other than that, it was really, really good.
Friendly staff, quick service, and the special room cleaning were excellent.
We had a wonderful stay. I was debating between the Centara Mirage Hotel's waterpark for my child and the Anantara, which I wanted to visit, but there's no comparison. A vacation is always best spent wherever mom wants to go ^^

This hotel exceeded our expectations! It wasn't overrun by tour groups, mostly frequented by locals on vacation and a few foreign guests (including us). It's a shame there's only one restaurant, but the menu is quite comprehensive, offering both Vietnamese specialties and Western dishes. Since we were with my parents, we all opted for the local Vietnamese cuisine, which was both generous in portion and delicious. The beach was immaculately clean, and the staff were very diligent.

Das Hotel macht einen im öffentlichen Bereich insgesamt guten Eindruck. Erwähnenswert sind insbesondere der schöne tropische Garten und der große Swimmingpool. Der zum Hotel gehörende Strandabschnitt wird regelmäßig gesäubert, jedoch ist der Sandstrand außerhalb des Hotels völlig zugemüllt. Schwimmen im Meer war wegen des starken Wellengangs fast die ganze Zeit über (11 Nächte) verboten. Die abgelegene Lage des Resorts bringt es mit sich, dass es in der Nähe keine Restaurants oder Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt. Dafür gibt es mehrmals täglich einen kostenlosen Shuttleservice, u.a. zum Coopmart. Die späten Rückfahrzeiten von dort sind allerdings ungünstig. Von diesem Einkaufszentrum aus kann man fußläufig Teile der Innenstadt von Phan Thiet erreichen. Interessant ist dort der Fischereihafen. Rings um das Hotel finden sich zahlreiche Bauruinen. Außer am verschmutzten Strand kann man keine Spaziergänge unternehmen.
Unser Zimmer: Im mehrstöckigen Hauptgebäude mit Aufzug. Ausreichend groß mit kleinem Balkon. Das Bad hätte dringend eine Generalreinigung (Dusche verkalkt, Holzteile vergammelt) und Renovierung nötig, das Möbel ist in die Jahre gekommen.
Restaurant: Große Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken zu relativ günstigen Preisen. Qualität und Größe der Portionen variieren stark. Das Frühstücksbüfett ist ausbaufähig und vorwiegend asiatisch, die angebotenen Getränke sind billig.
Service: Alles wird schnell erledigt, das Personal ist hilfsbereit und freundlich.
Publikum: Vorwiegend russisch. Viel Umtrieb an Wochenenden durch Vietnamesen.
Zusammenfassung: Aufgrund verschiedener Einschränkungen würde ich trotz des überwiegend positiven Gesamteindrucks das Hotel vermutlich nicht wieder buchen.

Location: the resort is about 15 km / 20 mins from Mui Ne beach, which is perfect as it’s away from the crowd, you can enjoy the peace and quiet without over tourism, but still close enough to get to Mui Ne by scooter or taxi.
Service: really friendly and helpful staff, on our arrival day we got delivered a homemade cake as gift together with a little cute letter about the story of the “Kitchen gods”.
Food: brekky is buffet style and offers quite a bit variety including fresh noodle station, fresh fruits, Vietnamese and western food. The restaurant has the perfect sea view. We also had lunch and dinner there, the menu is not extensive but offers good variety, price is of course a bit higher than other local restaurants that we have been in Vietnam but still not too over priced and totally justified with the sea view and quality.
Hotel facilities: they offer free bike rental, free kayak, motorbike rental right from the hotel with minimal cost. The gym is small but nice. There’s also tennis court, squash and 2 swimming pools (including one amazing infinity pool).
Rooms: I booked a deluxe garden view room and it came with sea view which I was positively surprised. I booked my parents a deluxe sea view room which is huge. Both came with balcony which is nice to chill. The bathroom is a bit old and worn but clean, I like the interior as it gives the local cultural charm so I don’t mind that some place feel worn.
Highlight: the resort garden is huge and so beautiful! Beautiful flowers, lots of coconut trees, we spend so much time just roaming around the gardens. The private beach gives you peace and quiet to truly enjoy without external tourists. For these reasons I would highly recommend this resort!

Upon arrival, check-in was completed efficiently at Reception and I was helped to my room with my bags.
During the walk to the room I noticed that the grounds had a distinctly uncared for appearance. This impression was reinforced when I arrived in my room, which was old, tired and in need of full refurbishment. There were signs everywhere of years of poor quality maintenance.
The view over the small beach from the room's balcony was nice but the balcony itself needed refurbishment and painting too.
Looking around the grounds, I couldn't see any other guests - it was like the Marie Celeste.
The common areas, such as the restaurant didn't look very in inviting and also seemed in need of refurbishment. It seems management has not invested in the upkeep of this place.
I decided to go for a walk and, approaching Reception from the beach area, next to a water feature, I encountered two rats! On return from my walk I saw another large rat to the right of Reception. More rats than guests?
By this time I had decided that I did not want to stay in this hotel (despite having pre-paid for the room, hence no refund) so I packed my bags, checked out and moved to a much nicer hotel I'd found to too far away.
The hotel could be nice but would need substantial investment and refurbishment before I'd consider staying here. I can't see how guests rated this place as 10. For me it's a 6 at best.

Far but we liked the chill vibes, there were just too many people in that place, making us unable to enjoy the facilities fully. but price is very reasonable and is good if there are objectives to travelling there.

This hotel barely scrapes by as a 4-star. Its positives are its location, the wide beach, and plenty of available sun loungers (no need to wake up at 6 AM!), plus excellent breakfasts.
Now for the downsides – the cleaning! And it's not even about the quality. The system was completely incomprehensible during our 20-day stay; sometimes they'd clean at 11 AM, sometimes at 2 PM, 4 PM, or even 6 PM. You'd see the cart outside the door, then they'd leave, and two hours later, nothing had been done. Towel changes seemed completely random – if it looked clean, they'd just fold it and leave. Beach towels are also exchanged in the room; if you're at the beach or pool with your own, there's no exchange, and you end up chasing staff around for one. The mattress is very firm, which you can get used to, but the pillows, oh my goodness, I never got used to them. The balconies were dirty, and the windows could at least be cleaned once a week. In the last couple of days before we left, they started renovations in our building (the one closest to the sea) – more like cosmetic touch-ups, but at least it'll be cleaner.
On weekends, a lot of locals arrive, and it gets very noisy, whereas weekdays are much more relaxing. Also, there's a varied crowd of our compatriots; the first two weeks were very calm, then a real 'Tagil' group checked in.
But overall, Vietnam is wonderful. I adore Mui Ne despite its sometimes rough sea; the food is delicious and cheap, and thanks to the wind, there's no suffocating heat. You can also get a decent massage for an affordable 170,000 VND.
Almost forgot – the coffee, of course, is the most delicious and varied!

颜值担当少女2号This hotel is very nice. The style is very holiday-like. The view is good. Breakfast is not a buffet. You can order a staple food and drinks. I live in a view room and the surrounding area is very convenient. There are seafood places along the road.
