Golden Coast Resort & Spa

Wir sind in Saigon gelandet, haben da eine Nacht verbracht und sind am naechsten Morgen mit dem Zug nach Phan Thiet gefahren. Das Hotel liegt wirklich weit weg vom Trubel und ist sehr ruhig. Der Strand ist zwar schoen und gut ausgestattet mit Liegen usw., das Meer ist aber nicht so klar und teilweise stark verschmutzt. So sieht es aber am ganzen Kuestenabschnitt aus. Auch am Pool gibt es genuegend Liegen und Sonnenschirmen. Alles ist sehr sauber. Fruehstueck ist sehr gut! Die Anlage wird 24 Stunden ueberwacht und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. English ist ein Problem fuer das Personal....sind mehr auf Russische Urlauber ausgerichtet. Wir haben es aber mit Humor genossen und letztendlich klappt dann auch die Verstaendigung. Es waren auch Russische Gaeste anwesend, aber total ruhig und unproblematisch, viele auch mit Kinder. Weniger ruhig waren da die Vietnamesische Gaeste....teilweise sehr laut und asozial.

We (couple) had a very relaxed and mostly nice time at the hotel and its beach. I would recommend the hotel but there are some downsides and some suggestions for the hotel as well. One downside is the remote location of the hotel and that the restaurants that are available in the small town are pretty bad. The hotel offers a shuttle service but I would suggest to make this shuttle service cheaper or for free to reach Phan Thiet easier (because there are better restaurants and some distractions) and to offer one way trips as well, not only two way (like this guests are more flexible). The breakfast was average; it was much better over Vietnamese Lunar New Year, probably due to the higher number of guests but I would have liked to have a bit better food also before (sweeter fruits for example). The beach of the hotel was cleaned regularly but the water unfortunately was pretty dirty sometimes. The rooms were nice and the balconies with the view to the garden were very nice and quiet. The other guests were calm as well, many families, couples, etc. The hotel could also (together with the other hotels in town maybe) keep the town and the beach outside of town cleaner. There was a lot of trash which definitely makes it much less attractive. For a remote location I would expect the nature surrounding the hotel to be more clean.

Bra pool och frukost. Läget är dock lite avsides, så det finns inte mycket att göra på kvällarna.

주위에 식사 할곳이 30분정도 차량으로 이동 하는것이 문제이나 대체로 시설은 무난 한 편이었고, 단 베란다 문을 열고 바다바람을 맞이 할때 방충망이 없는게 좀 불편 했습니다..벌들이 많아 꼭 필요한 방충망~~~모기,,,등등 그런대로 편안하고 조용하게 가족 여행 좋겠습니다..

Wir waren insgesammt 18 Tagen in Vietnam Unterwegs und haben uns absichtlich für dieses Hotel entschieden da für uns in dem Moment nur Ruhe wichtig war. Und das haben wir da gefunden.

We stayed in one of the bungalows which was great, easy access to the beach and good bathroom. The TV channels weren't that great but that's an incentive to go to the beach. Wifi coverage was limited, we found it only near the main reception/restaurant area. The beach itself was nice, although it was a little rough due to the time of year (Feb) - we still swam though. And the pool is great. I'd recommend this hotel if you want to get away to a quiet spot for a few days, just keep in mind it's a long way from the 'action' of Mui Ne. We went to Mui Ne for the day by catching the Resort shuttle bus, and then number 1 or 9 public bus from Phan Thiet, of course you can just take a taxi but that may be $20 each way. There are 3 local places to eat on the other side of the street from the Resort. Breakfast at the Resort is great!

The rooms were very nice. Big, clean, and well-maintained. The staff was very friendly, but communication was pretty basic. The beach was picked up in front of the hotel, but not on either side where it was very trashy, including two hypodermic needles. The trash soon migrated over the hotel beach. Strong afternoon winds brought high surf. It wasn't very swimmable, and the water was murky all the time. (our visit was Jan 31 - Feb 04). Phan Thiết is about 190 km east of HCMC Bến xe Miền Đông bus station - about 4.5 hours with a 20 min break. The hotel is about 15 km south. Take a taxi for about 120,000 VND. Have a printed copy of the name and address, preferably with Vietnamese diacriticals. English isn't so common as in HCMC. There is a local bus that that we didn't try.

Beautiful location on the beach near Phan Thiet City. The hotel runs a shuttle back and forth that is very convenient. Our king-size bed was huge and the room was very clean and everything was in perfect working order. Lovely shower and the balcony was very comfortable. The hotel pool was very nice and the hotel restaurant was pretty good and has a great breakfast buffet. The resort is perfectly maintained and quite lovely. Only three things I didn't like: 1. The second night we were there they were hosting some party for Vietnam Petroleum that used the whole pool area and kept us from swimming. They also played music that was so ridiculously loud our waitress couldn't hear us order and it was even obnoxious in our room quite far away (and I'm young). This was probably a one-time thing and it only lasted from 6-9 or so. 2. The ocean wasn't very clean (some sort of algae or something) and smelled kind of bad. Also, fishing boats frequently came into the swimming area, which is pretty dangerous if you think about it. It was kind of interesting to see what they were catching though. 3. The hotel staff's English is pretty limited. We asked for help about train or bus tickets and they could only tell us "one in the morning, one in the afternoon" so we ended up sitting at a bus station for 4 hours. Still, the shuttle bus driver took us to the station (past his destination), and I'd say overall the staff and resort were lovely.

If you want a place to go party, this is not it. It is located 10-15 minutes outside Phan Thiet, by car. Mui Ne is on the other side of town, about 25 km. There is not much around the resort, just sand and other resorts. My girlfriend and I stayed 6 nights in march/low season. It was really quiet, maybe 20 other people staying there. Mostly russians and scandinavians. At the time we stayed it was some young couples, some families and mostly people over 40. We wanted at place to relax, so it didn´t bother us. We spent the time by the pool, beach, swimming, etc. There are trips to the sanddunes, etc available from the resort. And they have a shuttle bus that goes in to town and back several times a day. Did this once. But really didn´t see much of the town. The resort has it own beach. The big waves was fun, at least I thought so, my girlfriend not some much. And some of the days it was a red flag - because of to much wind. The staff is very friendly and helpful. BUT, some of them speak very little english. One day after the maid had cleaned the room, we couldn´t find a plastic bag thats was on the floor of the bathroom.(contained medicine and various bottles, etc). When we asked the reception about it, in very simple english, they didn´t understand at all. One of them came with a plastic shower cap(!). But some kind of manager came with us to the room, we tried to show her by speaking simple and showing with a bag on the floor, but it didn´t work before we wrote simple english for her on a paper. 20 minutes later they came with our bag that they thought was trash. So if any problem with understanding, try write it down! :-) The breakfast buffet is good. Be sure to be there in time before 10am, because at 10am it is gone. There was wifi, but not in our room. works in the reception area and by the pool though. You can also rent a motorbike there. On the other side of the rode from the hotel there are two small shops, it you want cheaper beer/snacks/wine, etc. This is a place to chill out. Very peaceful.
