The undeniable advantages of the Sun Sand Beach Hotel are hospitable service, a variety of services, a democratic cost of living and a good location. Tourists who are accustomed to spend their holidays not only on the beach and in a hotel room, will be pleased with the proximity to the lively Vietnamese resort of Mui Ne, where everyone will find entertainment to their liking.

The last restoration of the hotel complex was carried out in 2016 – the apartments equipped with high-quality upholstered furniture and appliances meet the highest requirements. To make the right choice.

Let’s take a closer look at all the features of the hotel?

Location and infrastructure

The cozy hotel complex is located on the first coastline, which is especially convenient for travelers who love a beach holiday, tourists with small children and representatives of the older generation. The popular tourist town of Phan Thiet is just 16 km away. Among the interesting sights of this resort it is worth noting:

  • A picturesque stream of fairies.

The easiest way to get there is by car – in this case, the trip will take no more than 15 minutes, depending on the traffic congestion. Coming to Vietnam, tourists prefer to rent a car. If you also made such a decision, choose only proven companies and carefully study the terms of the contract so as not to overpay. An alternative option is to order a taxi. Please note that bargaining with local drivers is possible and necessary.

Nha Trang Airport is 190 km from the hotel. For a fee, a shuttle service can be arranged for guests – the journey time is not more than 3.5 hours.

Food is organized flawlessly, a wide selection of delicious dishes, including for children. The territory of the hotel and the beach is clean and well maintained. Within walking distance of cafes and restaurants with large portions and affordable prices. If necessary, there is a pharmacy opposite – it was not difficult for us to explain. It is necessary to visit the surf club, where for a small fee you will get a lot of fun. »

Beaches & Pools

The hotel has its own sandy beach on the east coast of MUI. Guests are provided with free sun loungers, umbrellas, towels, and there are many bars and restaurants on site. Establishments open early in the morning and work until sunset, so if you want to have a snack in between bathing, there will be no problems. The gentle descent into the water makes the beach Sun Sand Beach Hotel safe for children and tourists with disabilities.

Travelers who find passive beach holidays boring, are provided with a lot of opportunities for active and extreme leisure. Here you can do water sports, visit the school of kitesurfing and kiteboarding, enjoy the beauty of the underwater world, diving. By the way, did you know that sophisticated tourists consider local diving the best in the world?

Please note that from June to September, the resort notes a change in the underwater current – during this period you can see debris and small pollution in the sea. The hotel staff takes this point into account, promptly eliminating problems.

It offers a jacuzzi, adult and children’s pools of open type (150 and 60 square meters), equipped with a safe descent. For those who want to combine a pleasant stay with health benefits, there is a massage room, which can be visited on a paid basis.

Ira, St. Petersburg: “We had a rest in January 2018 with a large company. We got a spacious triple bungalow by the pool, and friends booked a room directly in the building. Living conditions are quite decent, all equipment is in working condition, there is hot water, and Wi-Fi catches even on the beach. A separate plus to the polite and attentive staff, it is clear that the staff genuinely appreciate their guests.”

True gourmets are recommended to visit the popular open-air restaurant Vo Ke, which is located near the SPA center. In the menu you will find many original dishes from seafood, exotic fish and animals. The peculiarity of the restaurant is that food is prepared directly in the presence of guests – this approach allows visitors to make sure that the products are fresh and cooking standards are observed. Sea delicacies are perfectly combined with red and white wines, which are also presented here in a wide range. The interior of the institution is decorated in oriental style: wicker furniture made of bamboo, traditional Vietnamese lanterns, a mixture of bright colors. And the cost of dishes will please even economical tourists.

To get acquainted with the cultural and natural attractions of Vietnam, you do not have to look for a guide yourself – the tour desk works on the territory of the hotel complex. Experienced guides will make a group or individual tour, based on your preferences, budget and wishes for the duration of the trip. The price of the tour will cost a little higher than that of street guides, but this should not confuse you. After all, if the quality of services does not suit you, there is always an opportunity to make claims and return part of the money.

Elena, Okhotsk: “To be honest, I did not expect special quality from a three-star hotel. However, the “three stars” were no worse than the “five stars” in Egypt, where I rested the year before. The hotel has a quiet atmosphere, atypical for Asian countries, the staff is friendly and hospitable. On the beach you can always have a snack, buy freshly squeezed juice, look into the souvenir shop, where national clothes and jewelry are sold. The only downside is that the beach was sometimes dirty, but this is a common occurrence after the rainy season. In general, I recommend the hotel to anyone who is looking for a relaxing beach holiday at reasonable prices!”

Hotel Rooms

Guests can choose from comfortable family apartments or original bungalows. The rooms can accommodate from two to four people. Extra beds are available on request – in some cases, you will have to pay extra for this. Children under 7 years old stay free of charge. Please note that there are no entertainment programs for toddlers at the hotel. If you are planning a family vacation, it is worth taking care of the child’s leisure time in advance.

The total number of rooms in the hotel is 81. All apartments are equipped with comfortable double beds, air conditioning, TVs, refrigerators, bathrooms. There is a safe for storing valuables. The balconies offer magnificent views of the picturesque garden, the sea coast, the beach with white sand.

Despite the fact that smoking is allowed on the territory of the hotel complex, all rooms are only for non-smokers. Pets are not allowed.

Ivan, Irkutsk: “I was at different resorts in Vietnam, so I have something to compare with. Of the positive aspects, I would like to note the spacious, well-groomed territory, beautifully decorated green garden, clean beach. The food pleased not only with the quality, but also with the assortment of dishes: there were always fruits, exquisite local delicacies, salads and snacks on the table. The rooms are spacious, cleaning was carried out every day. To the city and the picturesque fishing village – literally a stone’s throw, even not necessarily take a taxi, you can walk and walk. I recommend this hotel to everyone!”

Quality of service

The hotel staff speaks English and Vietnamese. Cleaning is provided regularly and laundry and ironing services are available at an additional cost.

Traveling on a rented car, many tourists prefer not to stay long in one place. It is for such travelers that the hotel has free parking, which does not require prior reservation.

A separate plus I consider a gentle descent into the water, there is no sharp increase in the level of depth – this is very important, since I rested with the child and worried about his safety. The quality of the rooms fully corresponds to the “stardom” of the hotel, but the courtesy and sincere goodwill of the staff exceeded all expectations!”
