Thuy' HomeStay - the Song Vung Tau

This tower block of owned and rented apartments is clean modern and feels safe. They have an infinity pool that has fabulous views over the area and BBQ areas kids play area and kids pool / water play area a gym and laundry. The pool lacks pool lounge beds and seating often we could not get one and when in the pool on 2 occasions other family’s sat on our beds just moving our books sun lotion to one side even sitting on our towels and the staff did nothing to stop them even though they were right there . The staff also did nothing to stop a rather racy photo shoot that a young girl was doing where she actually lowered her bikini bottom bearing her bum for the photographer the staff just whipped out their phones and took photos - much to the itratation of a family sitting next to me with young children . But over all the building is quiet with no loud behavior that we saw. Really apart from the pool the only down side is the elevators they only stop on certain floors and it can be a pain to work out at first they also skip your floor leaving to wait over 10 minutes to get to your desired floor. And they are sooo slow . We resorted to using the freight elevator quite often. Parking costs were an issue we heard about from several people but did not use ourselves so i cant real say . The building is in a ok location a bit out of the main area but a supermarket is walkable as is a back beach ( deserted a bit dirty and not particularly nice ) and grabs are easy to get to get to restaurants but over all the area is very quiet . In our particular case we checked in late with our host meeting us personally but then she left her 8 year old son to take us to the apt and she just disappeared. He got lost at first did not speak any English and when we got to the apt it had not been cleaned only the bad made up . We managed to contact her and she told a staff member to come see it as she did not believe us . The staff member was very helpful and saw immediately that it was dirty with trash left and dishes not cleaned or vacuuming done . We had to sleep there that night but they moved us to another unit the next day by noon and did bring clean towels so we could shower. The unit had a spectacular view with 4 points of water visible -the view just went on for miles and is definitely a perk of a high floor so think about that when booking . Units tend to have have washer a kettle hairdryer etc but often don’t come completely furnished for home cooking so if you plan to do that bring your own dish clothes plates knives forks etc we had non only small bowls spoons and chop sticks and nothing to wash or dry the dishes with and were given only 1 roll of toilet paper . Also there was no cleaning products but we were told to clean or we would be charged. Id say shop around for the best host take an apt on a high floor and you should enjoy this building and what it has to offer families for a few days
