Con Dao Resort

The food here was good. The location is good also and it is perfect for a seaside holiday. The island is not too large so you can find almost all the needed services around this area.

We went with a large group on a recommendation from a family friend who has stayed here before. The hotel offers free shuttle service to and from the airport so make sure you contact them to confirm pickup time if they do not contact you to arrange for pickup at the airport. Every room has either a nice tropical view or ocean view so you will not be disappointed. The hotel has free breakfast in the morning that changes each day including Western and Vietnamese cuisines and eggs are made to order. The hotel has a white sand beach in front of the property and it is a short walk away from many inexpensive restaurant options down the street. The hotel's restaurant offers lunch and dinner. The food and drinks are priced higher than nearby restaurants, but is decent quality. The pool on site is a nice amenity to have to help cool down. The hotel also offers free small daily water bottles, but I would recommend stocking up for cheap at a nearby shop. We had never rented a scooter before, but since much of the island's roads are very well maintained and sparsely travelled we though it would be perfect to try one. The hotel can has an office where you can rent scooters cheaply, but our friends negotiated 120,000 VND a day with a kind gentleman across the street. This helped us quickly access a nearby temple, get to other beaches on the island, the national park and the harbour for a snorkeling tour. The hotel's shower pressure is wanting and do not be surprised if you see a gecko or small ants in your room. They are harmless and common in this area. That being said, do not leave food out or something might get in it.

This is the perfect location on the beach. The ocean view and pool are exceptional. Been there 4 times and always wish our stay was longer. The grounds are beautiful. The staff is very accommodating and welcoming. The buffet in the morning is really good.
