The Secret Con Dao

Pros: - Great location - Awesome cocktails and happy hour (BOGOF at about 189K each) - Comfy beds - Nice pool area Cons: - This may not bother you but hotel seems VERY popular with influencer types - had people recording videos and having little impromptu photoshoots nonstop around the pool. Also - not the hotel's fault - it was very popular with families so a lot of kids in the pool, which is fine but may not give you the ambience you're looking for if you want a relaxing time. I think it was the start of school holidays in Vietnam though to be fair. - Laundry insanely expensive - use a local laundromat. - The air conditioning is terrible and wouldn't go lower than 22 degrees. This is because they have limited power on the island (fair enough) but if you ask the front desk they can reduce the minimum temp for you. Only found this out on the second to last day which was a shame because I slept terribly in the heat. - Rooms are nice enough but the 'wall' to the bathroom is like a sheer curtain on a rail. The loo and shower are behind actual walls but it doesn't make the bathroom very private. - They play very loud music until quite late (about 11pm) that reaches the rooms. May not bother some but we were there to dive (highly recommend Con Dao Diving) so were in bed relatively early.
