Xuan Hien Resort

As other people said, the place looks like the photos. People from the hotel are welcoming, the room is clean, big and you don't here anyone from the others houses. Like the pool (also very clean), the gate is open all the time, meaning you can come back at whenever hour you want. Having a bath in the pool when the sun is down makes all the difference in holidays. You're not in a tourist place, but you have all the calm and the confort of a resort. The Sao Beach (which is really the most beautiful beach of the island) is just at a little more than one kilometer away and you can rent a motorbike directly at the resort for 180 000 dong/day (and they are accommodating with the hours). In literally 4 minutes, you are there. If you want to spend time in the south of the island with some confort but without be disturbing by others tourists, this is the place you should stay.

Two things stop me to put the maximal note to the establishment : - You don't have any accessories or hooks to hang your beach clothes or your laundry (that's a shame because there is a lot of space, especially in the room behind the bathroom). - In the bedroom, there is only the air conditioner. If you prefer a big and old fan (like me), you don't have the choice.

The proximity to Bai Sao beach was convenient. The pool was really nice. It was easy to hire a motorbike to cruise to the beach and nearby restaurants. The staff were nice and helpful. The bathroom was spacious and the bungalow had a rear entrance for extra privacy in the bedroom. For people with a car or their own motorcycle there is plenty of parking.

The staff has a low level of English, but they were very warm. There's no bar or restaurant as advertised with the exception of an unremarkable optional breakfast. Bring your own booze from the shops.

Very clean bungalows, outdoor shower was lovely. Good sized pool. Good lamps, storage etc in rooms. Helpful staff.

No breakfast or food offered, unfortunately.

The bungalow was nice. Clean, comfortable bed, Nice bathroom. Nice pool with clean water. Breakfast was Ok. Staff were friendly but their English limited. Rented a good motorbike 180,000 a day. It was quiet most of the time. Occasionally some noise from other guests but not too much. A pleasant and comfortable stay. With the motorbike we visited both west and east coast beaches and the nearby town of Kiên Giang with the amazing and bizarre pseudo Italian town of Sun Town is definately worth a visit.

Sunbeds at the pool very uncomfortable without mats. The chairs in the room and patio also hard and uncomfortable. Soft mats are needed. Also there's nowhere to hang your swim wear to dry. We hung them on the patio furniture. Also nowhere to properly hang towels in the bathroom and nowhere in the shower to put your soap except the floor. There was a drying room but no hangers to hang your clothes on. These things were mildly annoying but didn't stop us having a great time.

the pool and the bedroom

the service wasn’t good and they didn’t serve breakfast when I booked the hotel breakfast was included in the price and then later on they cancelled it because they run out of staff.
