Lotus Muine Resort & Spa — Hotel in Phan Thiết City

Booked this place through a conventional travel agent in person. I think she used Expedia. We thought the price was very reasonable. Weren’t really sure what to expect as reviews were a bit mixed. |We stayed in a bungalow with a lovely deck overlooking the grounds and ocean. We found it very roomy with 2 single beds. Everything worked fine. The included breakfast was pretty good. Lots of choices with an egg and crepe station. The only issue we had was the coffee wasn’t always hot especially if the restaurant was busy and the pot didn’t sit on the warmer very long. Restaurant staff were excellent. Very attentive and friendly. | The check in staff were all top notch. Every request was looked after promptly and happily. They also spoke English very well so that made it easy for us. |We charged some meals and spa treatments to our room and the check out was perfect. No “extra” charges as some reviews have indicated. |The pool towel procedure was explained to us. We were to always return them to the room. Not leave them by the pool. One review complained about a problem at checkout because they did that. Not staffs fault if you can’t follow simple procedures. |We only ate 1 dinner and it was Reasonably priced and OK|We usually walked to local restaurants. There are about 3-4 local restaurants within a 5 minute walk which were all good and very cheap. |We rented a motorcycle from a guy directly across from resort entrance. $12 for 24 hrs plus fuel. Awesome thing to do and cheap. That night we rode into town for dinner. |Beach was mainly sandy. Check out a few rocks at low tide so you know where they are before swimming. Nice hard packed beach to walk in both directions to view sunrise and fishermen. This is the quieter end of the resort area. Pool was great. Very clean and warm. Enough deck chairs but I don’t think resort was full. May be a problem if it was full||We hired a private car to deliver us from Saigon and pick us up. Good driver. Cost $95.00 US each way....

Location: it is located in a quiet place, but not too far from the town, (it takes you 10 - 15 mins travel by Taxi, and costs about 100.000 VND), and easy to access to other landmarks / attractions. Besides, opposite the resort, there is an outlet where you can buy water, some packed foods, or rent motorbike.||Room: It seems like every room in the resort can fully or partly have sea view. My room is twin one, not too spacious. The balcony is nice with sea view. ||The only minus for the room is that the Air con didnt work really well, too hot at noon. And Wifi connection was not so good. ||Swimming pool is big, nice and clean.||The beach was clean, and tidy up every morning I guess. ||Staffs were helpful and friendly. ||Food was good enough with acceptable prices, breakfast was good, but vegetable was not really fresh. ||Besides, not so many extra services 're offered at the resort, such as spa, gym, ... ||In brief, the resort is good and value for money for family or group traveller, or for ppl who love quiet place with...

We had a nice family room on the 3rd floor with wonderful view to the sea. And unfortunately it was the only great thing about this hotel. |Breakfast was so so, there were constantly noisy repair works ongoing. On the beach there was always red flag so no swimming allowed. On the neighboring beaches you could swim safely. Actually you can’t swim at hotel beach as there are many sharp rocks. Me and my friend hurt ourselves. |Our passport were kept for the whole stay at the reception so we felt like hostages. |Biggest disappointment was at the checkout. We have been asked to wait about 30 min while our room has been checked. We were told to pay for the 2 beach towels that at the end have been found at the pool. It should not be the guests responsibility to constantly watch the towels etc |Hotel is located about 5 km from the center so if you want to try any Vietnamese food you always need to take a taxi. Hotel restaurant is very expensive and disappointing. |Sorry to say but I do not...
