Wow, what an amazing place this is. We spent 4 nights at the Ana Mandara Resort and we loved every minute of it. We stayed in a beachfront villa and the views were really spectacular. The grounds were amazing and there were lots of places to chill out - on the beach, the hammocks, the 2 pool areas and it never had the feeling that there were many people around. It was simply a magic retreat in which to relax and unwind in. We received a very warm welcome and the high standards were maintained throughout our stay. What really impressed me was the very comprehensive environmental policy which they have - its detailed in one of the books in the bedroom so its well worth taking time out to read it. The Ana Mandara's environmental policies and what they put back into the local area are highly commendable and should be an excellent example to other hotels. It is very difficult to find fault with this hotel. The infinity pool was incredible with amazing views out to sea. The bedrooms were really spacious and you can even select different types of pillows, box of choccies in the room, the most incredible bathroom, the list goes on. This is an innovative hotel who are committed to delivering excellent services in a great location.

We have just spent the last week of our honeymoon here. (I am writing this at the resort whilst waiting for our transfer to go home). After 3 days in Bangkok and 3 days in HCMC arriving here was like having a cool towel pressed against your forehead. The service & facilities are fantastic from the moment you are met at the airport to the moment you leave. The staff are outstanding, the food is delicious, loads of choice at very reasonable prices given the luxurious location. Only complaint about the hotel was that our room was very dark and we needed the torch they provided to find anything in the the wardrobe! Although maybe that was what it was intended for?! Nha Trang was a lot bigger and busier then we expected so there are plenty of other places to eat and drink if you want a change of scenery, My husband made me get a cylco one day much against my better judgement but I loved it and it's definitely the safest way to get around out here! There are also a few tailors in Nha Trang if you want to get anything made. We had a couple of suits and dresses made at Hoang Yen, 128 Nguyen Thien Thuat which we were really pleased with for around $110 dollars per suit and $35 per dress. The lady there is lovely and speaks ok english but give them plenty of time as they struggled to get ours done in 4 days. I took a dress I loved that no longer fitted and asked for a copy to be made (that would fit!), that seems to work quite well. We would definitely recommend this resort to friends, however, with no direct flights to Vietnam from England it's a long way to come (24 hours travelling awaits us now) without taking in a few more places on the way whilst in the far east.
