We had a lovely time at this resort. And while I want to give it a 5, there were just a bit of little things that were missing to make it quite a 5. And while I wanted to give it a 3, there were just a bit of little things that made me smile and boost the review up a notch.
THE GOOD: The set up is awesome, especially for big/multiple families. We were 3 couples and 1 family with 2 kids, and our 2 story resort had 4 rooms, each with a full bathroom. Each room was big and luxurious, and better than one Hilton king bedroom. There were 3 rooms upstairs, with two of them facing the beach. One of the rooms had a balcony overlooking our private pool and the lake. There was also another room downstairs, next to the kitchen. Bedrooms had large TVs, double vanity sinks in the bathroom, and king beds.
Downstairs, there was also a half bath, so we didn’t have to go upstairs to use the bathroom while hanging out in the dining room or the living room.
There was also a kitchen with a stove, fridge, water pot, and lots of cabinets downstairs, as well as a dining table. Living room had nice sofas, and a balcony leading to the private pool.
The breakfast buffet is very nicely spread out, with a variety of foods, too much for us to eat all in one meal. We had three days so I got to taste more of it.
THE BAD: While the set up is nice, upkeep needs some work.
The balcony upstairs overlooks the pool and lake is pretty awesome to sit and relax. But the railing is full of rusty spots so be careful if you’re leaning against it - you can hurt yourself.
The kitchen is nice, but despite all the cabinet space, there are no utensils whatsoever for it to be of any use. The range is there for show - it doesn’t work. Not broken, it was made to never work. Thankfully the fridge works, but that and the water pot was about the only things that worked. So if you want to warm up any food or make any food in this beautiful kitchen, forget it. As nice as the kitchen is, it’s like a fake door that opens into a wall.
Our room looked and felt clean, but only in the areas immediately accessible. I was trying to access the hdmi cable behind the tv to connect it to my laptop and almost chocked on all the dust. A quick wipe down with the toilet paper showed some black dust.
The breakfast buffet is extensive but only a few of the hot items change each day, so you’re stuck eating pretty much the same thing every day. It’s a huge hit or miss with some of the hot foods - some are good, some aren’t. By the third day, I wasn’t feeling so much adventurous and stuck with just one hot item and local fruits.
WHAT MADE IT BETTER: Service. Our servers, maids, and drivers were always super nice and friendly. Loved each and every one of...
Read moreMeliá Vinpearl Cam Ranh provides outstanding service and extremely comfortable facilities. We spent there our Christmas and New Year vacation and I have to admit that it was unforgettable time!|Our adventure and satisfaction started since the first moment we arrived to Meliá Vinpearl Cam Ranh. The front office particularly the manager on a name Lee gave us an excellent villa with convenient location., she was very cooperative and friendly. |Villas are extremely comfortable and suits to expectations of experienced travelers. We had our own swimming pool and just a great view to indoor lake.|We chose full board plan , and enjoyed it in full. The food was extremely delicious and great variety of meals workable for meat lovers or just classic vegetarian. All my family loves Asian food particularly Korean- so we had an opportunity to enjoy it everyday. |Personal observation: for breakfast- the restaurant was always busy with guests, but during lunch or dinner it was truly quite and we had a feeling like all restaurant just served for several visitors like us:)|Personally I enjoyed the fact that the territory of hotel was very green, lots of coco nut trees or mango trees. I liked to pick mangos and eat it fresh- nice experience.!|Special appreciation for main swimming pool area and beach, both are unforgettable. During our stay the weather was amazing, but waves at sea were big enough and it was prohibited to swim. I am not a big fun of swimming, as a result I was not upset with big waves at all, because I just enjoyed to relax at sea coast breathing fresh air.|I want to underline that it was very convenient to use Tuk Tuk, generally it took them 5 minutes to pick you up from villa or lobby.|I think it will useful to mention, that hotel is just 7 minutes drive from airport and 5 minutes from Cam Ranh city - where you can find lots of spa or restaurants. I recommend to go to Nha Trang city- super place for shopping or entertainment.|To reach there- use Grab or green taxi, lots of drivers are near the lobby to hotel.|By the way always talk to customer care of hotel, I had few times a need to ask some support from Maya (front office manager of Meliá)- she was very useful and friendly.|Summarizing above I need to say that Melia Vinpearl Cam Ranh - is a hidden paradise, top class resort, with amazing service and lovely nature. |I want to say personal appreciation to General Manager Mr.Mario- he runs this hotel perfectly, always personally controlled all events and just everyday life of hotel.|I will definitely return this hotel again and recommend for those who love excellent service and comfort.|Thank you for...
Read moreOn Easter Sunday (9th april 2023), I held my destination wedding at Melia Vinpearl Cam Ranh and it was the perfect venue! No words can fully describe how highly I recommend this resort!! i had booked this venue only 2 weeks before the wedding
The first night on arrival i was greeted by Anh Viet (general manager), he was very welcoming and friendly and went out of his way to help me and my family. All our luggages went missing in transit from Melbourne airport to Cam Ranh airport and this was missing for 3 days before the wedding and we were all highly stressed with no clothes to wear but Anh Viet was very helpful, calling up the airports tracking down our luggages and getting them delivered to the resort just in time for the wedding. He went above and beyond to help me daily, he messaged me multiple times on whatsapp daily to check whether i needed anything extra or to arrange any transport around Nha Trang
I stayed at 2 different villas there, first at the lake villa for 4 nights and then after the wedding I moved to the beachfront villa where I stayed for 3 nights. Both were totally amazing and luxurious, very clean and spacious, each had a private pool, the interior design was french provincial and absolutely stunning!The beds were very comfortable ensuring a good night sleep and the housekeeping staff were extremely polite, always greeting me when walking past and willing to help.Getting around the resort by foot was easy and relaxing and i got to enjoy the breathtaking views or the other way was to call a tuktuk (a small buggy) this was also very easy and fast The buffet breakfast was included and had a great variety of western foods including an egg station, different types of bread, and vietnamese food - it was so good i gained 2 kg in 7days! The restaurant by the pool was very good with delicious cocktails too and the first 2 nights I ordered room service and this was delicious tooThe beach was amazing it was very wide and private and very clean. Even though it is a massive resort, everywhere was spotless, the staff work in redibly hard to also ensure the lawns were all well maintainedi used the spa massage service and it was really relaxing - highly recommended if you need to wind down!
This resort has created wonderful memories for life! I was treated like royalty here! i've been to many hotels around the world and i can say hands down this has been the best resort and you won't find anywhere else where where you get this amazing treatment at an affordable price10 stars easily! cannot wait to...
