The staff are amazing! So lovely and helpful. The rooms are so clean and comfortable bed. The restaurant has delicious lunch and dinner, it would be better to have a buffet breakfast added with more options. Currently only continental breakfast. For the cost a bit more options would be great. Could hear people upstairs walking around, also in the afternoon quite a strong sewer smell when you first walk around the side of building to room doors. Pleasant facilities and great adults only!

The breakfast is a very basic continental. We ended up eating breakfast most days elsewhere. The bar has yummy food but could do with a renovation to make it more inviting. If it’s windy this property gets no shelter at all. We spent most of our time out of the resort. Short walk to yummy Saigon and Central station coffee.
