Luxury Hotel Review - Pandanus Resort & Spa Mui Ne, Vietnam

Tim Kroeger reviews Pandanus Resort & Spa in Mui Ne, Vietnam, sharing insights on its beachfront villas, tropical gardens, spa treatments, dining, and peaceful coastal setting.

Pandanus Resort & Spa Mui Ne is where to stay in the Mui Ne Area and look for relaxation and restfulness. It opened in 2004 right next to the beach.

The accommodations are built in a huge garden with tropical plants, lakes with lotus blossoms, and small streams. Read here my Luxury Hotel Review – Pandanus Resort & Spa Mui Ne.

My first impression of the resort was very positive. It is a calm and peaceful place close to nature. The receptionist welcomed me, and the check-in was easy and fast.

After a refreshing shower, I went to the daily complimentary wine and cheese reception.

It is a good chance to meet other guests and get first-hand information from a destination expert on what to do in Mui Ne.

Steve, the Resort’s General Manager, uses this event to welcome his guests personally, which I highly appreciate.

He is responsive and always motivated to answer the questions of his guests.
