The hotel was brand new (August 2015 when I went) but construction was not completed at the front of the hotel. However, we were not informed of this and walking to the beach everyday looked like being in a war zone. Additionally, the block of the hotel was under construction. So the road was not done and other hotels were being built at the same time and construction vehicles were constantly driving through.
The hotel was brand new and the pool is great. Staff was generally attentive and nice. However, much of the thinking and operating style were very "old school Vietnamese", which was unfortunate. There were some pretty faulty designs, also very unfortunate given such a new and nice looking hotel. For example, the room is non-smoking, but people can smoke in the hallway and there was a large ashtray placed in front of elevator! I would challenge everyone to use the sink without spilling everything out. Also the clientele was interesting. Everyday, the bar, the lobby and the restaurants were all looking like day-care with kids running around and toys everywhere. And that's just to name a few here. Oh also, we asked for an hour of late check-out which was not available for both of the rooms we had. This would have been fine but we were informed that we could have late check-out (2 hours) only if we pay 1/3 of the daily room cost!
I really wanted to like this place but just too many disappointing things.
