Six Senses Con Dao

A secluded resort ideal for both families or couples. The rooms are private and accommodating. We had the beach almost entirely to ourselves. The service was always attentive and friendly. The breakfast buffet is simply wonderful - we made it a point to luxuriate over it during our stay. Dining there for lunch or dinner is very much overpriced - better to take a taxi into town or use one of the free bicycles on offer (about a 30 to 45 minute ride).

Gorgeous, quiet, and totally relaxing, both in the villa and on the private beach. Expensive but worth it - only regret is not staying longer!

The experience I had was very relaxing and satisfied. My tips are: (1) having the fluffy pancake & free icecream during happy hour, (2) taking a small trip to watch coral by kayak, (3) discover the astronomy by booking 12-24hours ahead. I'm definately comming back here soon.

The resort is set on a beautiful beach in a private cove, surrounded by green, jungle-clad hills. The villas are also very nice, with a modern yet rustic feel. They felt very private, and it was easy to forget that there were others staying at the resort until we left for meals or drinks. The included breakfast was also excellent. Unfortunately, despite these excellent features, we felt a little let down by the service standard at the property. While all the staff were very friendly, and seemed to want to be helpful, it felt like many were inexperienced and nervous, and lots of small errors occurred. It also seemed to be service by committee on most occasions, with no one person seeming to be responsible for the table, and we might suggest that a more one-on-one approach would work better. The food and drink costs on the resort were very high, particularly relative to elsewhere in the country, and it did feel a like the resort was taking advantage of the captive market. This would likely have been less irritating had we not encountered the service issues described above. Overall, notwithstanding the few downside points, we did feel the resort was a great stay, and the island of Con Dao is definitely worth a visit for those prepared to assume the cost.

Everything was perfect. Cannot recommend enough. Went in October, weather was great and released baby turtles back into the sea!

Con Dao is a quiet island; and we arrived during the low season. We stayed at an Ocean Front Deluxe Pool Villa; it's more pricey than the Ocean View villas, but when you get to lie on the sun lounges and see the ocean right in front of you with nothing blocking your view, you realise it is worth every penny of it. As for the villa itself, I would call it a simple kind of beauty, with almost everything made out of wood. Having the bathroom downstairs can be quite troublesome at times, especially at night. This is partly due to the fact that lighting is minimal at this resort, and walking up and down the stairs in your villa can be sort of a challenge. An outdoor rain shower also sounded very exotic and romantic at first – but a problem I encountered during my stay was the wind. It can be quite windy on Con Dao Island, especially at night. Perhaps this gives you a reason to use the indoor bathtub for a long bubbly bath instead. Food at the resort was of extremely high quality. The waiters were fantastic as well. What really made Six Senses Con Dao stand out was the people – staff members greeted you whatever time of the day with a smile on their face. The Six Senses Spa was also terrific. The head massage during the body wrap cured me of my headache on the first day. Overall, staying at Six Senses Con Dao has been an amazing experience. I have absolutely no hesitation when recommending this place to friends and others.

its very good and comfortable and absolutely awesome breakfast!!

Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic place, however when you consider you spend about $10k for 6 nights including fairly basic food you really expect everything to be flawless, however, that's not the case. The food is good, but when you consider that you in saigon eat better for a tenth (!!) of the cost then you start to wonder. The fish wasn't great, always overcooked even though they do offer a new one to you but then it's a bit too late. The seafood tasted quite muddy indicating it's farmed, and probably as they say organically, but if it's not top of the line in taste, then don't bother. Our "butler" was great, and really did consider our requests to have a lot of privacy. One thing we did appreciate though was the fact that the Food and Beverage manager and his girlfriend both are good sommeliers, giving really good wines. however expect to pay 8-10 times more than you would for the same wine any where else in the world. They sold basic Jacobs Creek wine for a lot of dosh that's normally one of the cheapest wines you can get. All in all, it's a great location, but you better rush to get there since I bet in 2-3 years it will be run down, and the whole island very overcrowded.

Location is outstanding. Service can be spotty at times. Food is expensive but it might be because of its remote location.

Enjoyed my 40th bday celebration here with my girlfriend and I must say, we couldn't have picked a better spot. The villa was amazing, food was to die for, and service was truly 5 star. I'd highly recommend indulging in either or both the in-villa BBQ or the chef's table dinner in the cellar. Both were truly amazing experiences.
