Escalade Experience

The Escalade Experience is a small hotel in Cam Lap. If you are staying here do not expect it to be a fancy resort. Almost no English is spoken by the staff. The rooms are basic, but have air conditioners, fans, TV and working wifi. You can get rooms with a balcony overlooking the bay, which is full of fishing boats. There is a little white sand beach where you can swim, but again, lots of fishing boats are right offshore. This is a fishing village and so everyone here is involved in the industry. The hotel rooms are thin walled, so you can hear guests in neighbouring rooms. The restaurant was a highlight. It has great seafood. When I stayed, they had just brought in a catch of fresh lobsters, and I mean, JUST brought in. We picked two out and had them for dinner -- delicious, and cheap. I would recommend this hotel if you are planning to explore Cam Lap and want a stopover here to try something different south of Nha Trang. But don't come here expecting a beach vacation, it's more of a jumping off point to explore a hidden part of Vietnam that few people will visit.
