Meliá Vinpearl Cam Ranh Beach Resort

Probably one of the best buffet breakfasts in Vietnam. Had everything you could imagine and cooked well. Nice resort. beautiful gardens and surrounds. Spacious. Exceptional outdoor main hotel pool. Right on the beach.

No fencing/screening in between the 3 bdrm villas. For what they charge you per night, you'd expect privacy. The neighbours loungeroom window is about 60cm away from your private pool. No privacy at all. The edging within the pool had a build up of grot and grime. Pool tiles were falling off. Maintenance workers cutting trees right at your back door first thing in the morning. The villas have kitchens. How ever the villas do not provide anything to cook with. No glasses, no cutlery, no pans, not anything! This all needs to be hired. For a family to cook a meal in your own villa, you would have to spend close to 1 million dong to use plates/cutlery etc. That was pretty poor and cheap. I dont believe the floors are mopped in between guests. No food options close by.

We got upgraded to the 3 bedroom beach view from the 3 bedroom garden view. Being close to the beach was lovely, and I do recommend if price allows. The resort is very spread out, so there is about a 10-12 minute walk from the beach to the lobby or you can call for a golf cart pick up. Private pool was great. We got room service several times to do dinner by our pool. Nice room service menu and you can order on their app. The main pool also had food/drink service from one of the restaurants. The Mango Bingxu was awesome and we ate it daily. Breakfast buffet was large and varied. Beach was less crowded early morning and during the afternoon. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the villa was very spacious. We had repair work needed on a sliding door and they came promptly. Great staff-very helpful.

The Korean BBQ meal was a bit disappointing--the pork and beef were both very tough. There is a sign in the villa requesting we not hang wet suits and towels outside, but bathrooms inside had very little hanging ability particularly when you account for bath towels. Having a retractable drying cord over the tub would help, as would more hooks and bars. There was plenty of space for that. The beach chairs filled up quickly in the morning, so adding more of those would be beneficial.

Every now and then you stay at a property that you’ll remember forever. For me, this was one of those properties. It was my absolute pleasure to staying here. The apartments are so beautifully appointed in furniture & furnishings, layout and comfortability. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was absolutely fantastic with varied multicultural cuisines. The complementary Yoga in a gorgeous setting was a calming and grounding way to start each day, with the fabulous yoga instructor. The complementary tuk tuks are readily available to drive you to the beach, restaurants, Spa Centre or any location around the resort, picking you up directly from your front apartment door. I would highly recommend this beautiful resort to anybody who is looking for a wonderful, luxury experience.
