InterContinental Grand Ho Tram

Our goal was to visit Ho Chi Minh only, but took this 3 hrs free shuttle bus trip due to request from our kids to enjoy the beach. The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous and a definite 5 star hotel. Everything from the cleanliness of the resort, the design, the decor, the size of the room/ bathroom, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Type and quantity of pool is great - although the resort was crowded you can always find a comfortable spot to rest on. Only downside is the F&B availability, which is very inflated price. There is no shuttle bus provided to the downtown which is 3 KM away with few other affordable restaurants and couple of small convenience store. So there is not much activity around besides the beach. The beach itself was clean due to constant cleaning, but rubbish floating around in sea. We were not comfortable swimming there. The kids helped the cleaner to collect at least a bag full of rubbish from the water.

We are very please with our journey at this hotel & resort. Our family has enjoyed the facilities at this resort (Pool Bar, Liquor shops, bowling, etc.). They evan have a movies theater but we didn't try it. We went to a local fish market (750m from hotel) to have fresh seafoods. It was cheap and excellent.

Enjoyed with my family.

Oh I really love this hotel who ever manages it does perfect job!We were upgraded from grand golf view room to grand corner view which was the most amazing view that you could ever get!:)Service absolutely 5* very professional.Super friendly staff.We loved the ginger restaurant which served Vietnamese delicious food.Buffet breakfast had so much choice that you could wish for!Location was nice as for me as there isn’t much around.Lots of new 5* resorts going to be build within a year or 2!The beach is nice and cleaned every day.New Years Eve party was fun with cool DJ and pole dancers!I would def recommend the hotel for either couples or families.

Great venue for a getaway. Commendable staff that went above and beyond to accommodate special requests (e.g. vegetarian food options; doctor to check on injured child to cite two examples!) Tip: plan ahead and book their popular free shuttle to/from HCMC (we discovered this option too late and booked private transport)
