I am writing this one behalf of my brother (Chris) who was due to stay. Unfortunately Chris died before he could make the journey. The resort would not refund the considerable amount despite me providing a death certificate. At every turn they placed insurmountable obstacles in my efforts to obtain a refund. Disgraceful!

We enjoyed our stay at Hon Tam Resort. The executive suites were enormous, huge beds. Very comfortable. There were 4 executive suites per villa. With each villa having a private pool. Totally luxurious. The breakfast at the only restaurant was tasty with a good selection and daily changing local dishes. Everything was fresh and well made. The coffee was strong and plentiful. My criticism of the resort is their lack of service and quality when it comes food and drink. Aside from breakfast nothing else is worth eating. The a la carte menu isn’t executed well. The room service menu is a poor representation of itself. There wasn’t any service at the swim up bar. No one came to take orders while poolside or at the beach. They could be making so much money from us and everyone around us if they had any initiative. Such a wasted opportunity as we were a captive audience, without a shop on the island. Even the mini bar was barely stocked and never replenished during our 6 night stay. There wasn’t even a bar that we could frequent. Such a poor offering. Also, please turn down the thumping music at the pool.

Crystal clear sea. Beautiful lush foliage. We were here many years ago and the bungalows have not changed in all that time. They are in need of a little sprucing up but are fine considering the price. The resort area is smaller now as they have mud baths and beach for just the day visitors, but it is still quiet. Buffet breakfast was surprisingly good, and the only restaurant had good choices for evening meal. With resort credit and free transport to the island the price is really a bargain and a stay here should not be missed.

The resort is just amazing! The facilities are very well mantained, the staff is super helpful and friendly and all meals have a huge range of options. The breakfast buffet is perfect. There are only two minor things we would improve: -Provide information about how to reach the resort. Perhaps as an automatic email after having done the reservation. -Provide information about possible activities in the island e.g., water activities, mud baths, spa, etc. Maybe in a flyer after checking in.

Scenery is spectacular. And the service staff from the check in point to housekeeping to bellman is topnotch. Amenities in the room are outdated and need upgraded. Minibar closet is falling apart. Minh the bellman is the best!

Nice beach and pool- beautiful layout with quaint accommodations- very pleasant and well trained staff- oh and the life guard was very attentive (as was everyone to be fair). A good place you will be happy

The pool - ocean view villa was exceptional! We enjoyed our stay.

The pool was lovely and the beach was beautiful and clean. There was only one place where we could get food that was half decent and open. There was another at the other end of the island but it was mainly a seafood buffet that was not very nice. We only ate the rice. There is not where to get snacks or anything else, it's all in-house purchases. The activities that were available were not great value and setup for quick turn over tourists. We went parasailing for about 5mins only. The staff were very nice and tried very hard to assist us and they can not be faulted. Their English was limited and our Vietnamese was non-existent. I can eat seafood and my daughter is lactose intolerant. This gave us very limited options. Especially when they gave us a set breakfast menu instead of the buffet. We found that we booked for a different stay than we got and would not have stayed as long if we new it was half closed. A stay 1 or 2 nights max is enough.

It’s a beautiful property, and a friendly staffs. Maybe due to COVID, this property is lack of maintenance.

A little bit older, but well maintained and comfortable. Nice pool and friendly service. Not outstanding, but worth going and beautiful location. Would come again if visiting the area.

Enjoyed our stay. Recommend.
