Phu Quoc - Kien Giang - Vietnam
This
beachside resort is splashy, if a bit gaudy. Despite that
(or perhaps because of it!) it is popular as a honeymoon
destination for Vietnamese couples. The problem is that it
doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the island.
The 12 seaside villas are the best bet. They ring a
beautiful swimming pool which is the resort's courtyard
centerpiece, giving the main building a French
colonial-style mansion feel. The service here couldn't be
friendlier and efficient, surprising for a state-owned
enterprise. Other amenities include a karaoke club, massage
parlor, and satellite TV. Oh yeah - and the nightly disco
cruise which you can hear up and down the beach! |

Can Tho - Vietnam
The
Can Tho Golf opened in 2003. It's is a conventional
ten-story 'block' hotel on the banks of the Hau River, a
short distance from Ben Thu tourist wharf in the city
centre. The name is misleading - the nearest golf is on
the outskirts of Saigon .
Even though it does not have a golf course, it offers
a good range of facilities and has excellent views of
the river. Rooms are comfortable, with good bathrooms.
Don't expect much in the way of local or Vietnamese
culture though, the hotel is standard international
style. |
