Golden Coast Resort and Spa

We got this place for around $40, which was a good deal. Beach was cleaned every morning, clean rooms, tasty meals. Breakfasts were ok but not 4* as well as the pool, nice, children friendly but not 4*. It is far from the city. If you like a quiet place out of reach of bars, clubs and restaurants, it will be the place for you. Also, $70+ you will find a better quality 4* hotel...

If you want a place to go party, this is not it. It is located 10-15 minutes outside Phan Thiet, by car. Mui Ne is on the other side of town, about 25 km. There is not much around the resort, just sand and other resorts. My girlfriend and I stayed 6 nights in march/low season. It was really quiet, maybe 20 other people staying there. Mostly russians and scandinavians. At the time we stayed it was some young couples, some families and mostly people over 40. We wanted at place to relax, so it didn´t bother us. We spent the time by the pool, beach, swimming, etc. There are trips to the sanddunes, etc available from the resort. And they have a shuttle bus that goes in to town and back several times a day. Did this once. But really didn´t see much of the town. The resort has it own beach. The big waves was fun, at least I thought so, my girlfriend not some much. And some of the days it was a red flag - because of to much wind. The staff is very friendly and helpful. BUT, some of them speak very little english. One day after the maid had cleaned the room, we couldn´t find a plastic bag thats was on the floor of the bathroom.(contained medicine and various bottles, etc). When we asked the reception about it, in very simple english, they didn´t understand at all. One of them came with a plastic shower cap(!). But some kind of manager came with us to the room, we tried to show her by speaking simple and showing with a bag on the floor, but it didn´t work before we wrote simple english for her on a paper. 20 minutes later they came with our bag that they thought was trash. So if any problem with understanding, try write it down! :-) The breakfast buffet is good. Be sure to be there in time before 10am, because at 10am it is gone. There was wifi, but not in our room. works in the reception area and by the pool though. You can also rent a motorbike there. On the other side of the rode from the hotel there are two small shops, it you want cheaper beer/snacks/wine, etc. This is a place to chill out. Very peaceful.
