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

Pandanus Resort & Spa Mui Ne is the place to stay when you are in Mui Ne Area and looking for some relaxation and restfulness. It has 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 the nature. The receptionist gave me a warm welcome 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 to get first hand information by a destination expert on what to do in Mui Ne. Steve, the General Manager of the Resort uses this event to welcome all of his guest personally which I highly appreciate. He is responsive and always motivated to answer the questions of his guests.
