Casa Marina Resort

After a fabulous but hectic week sightseeing in Hanoi and Hoi An, this place was just what the doctor ordered! Lovely quiet beach and amazing, oversized beachfront bungalows. Loved stepping off the balcony directly onto the beach for an ocean swim, and watching the village fisherman go about their daily work and the local kids playing beach soccer. Rooms were immaculate and hotel staff professional, friendly and helpful. While there were some language barriers when liaising with some staff (to be expected - and I hasten to add, their English way surpassed my Vietnamese!), the delightful resort manager speaks fluent English and she couldn’t have been more helpful - even going as far to arrange for a staff member to drive to Quy Nhon to pick up medication when one of our party came down with the flu (and suggesting warm ginger tea, delivered to the room). Grounds were lush and beautifully kept. I’d read prior reviews about the pool being damaged and murky, but it appears to have been fixed up as it was clean, refreshing and functioning perfectly during our stay. We were here in off season and low guest numbers meant daily breakfast (included in room rate) was offered from al-a-carte menu, rather than extensive buffet style, but was more than adequate. Can’t comment on restaurant apart from breakfast, as we opted to dine at local restaurants on the beach which offered fabulous fresh seafood (and a big shout out to Big Tree Bistro which serves up the most authentic Italian pasta and wood fired pizzas I’ve ever eaten in Asia!) All in all, a great experience and our party of 6 in unanimous agreement that Casa Marina gets a big thumbs up from us.

If you can afford it, choose the bungalow with ocean view, like we did. Just opening the door was amazing. At night you hear the waves rolling. It was nice swimming in the sea, although there was a lot of rubbish. We collected it and handed it over at het restaurant nearby, where we got a beer for free. We went there for dinner too. Staff at the reception was friendly, but when we asked the staff at the sea to kayak (which was included in the hotel price), we could only sup. The kayak could not be used. This is a place I would like to come back to.

Beautiful location, a varity of good food for breakfast and very friendly staff. I want to come back!

Clean and relaxing. Staff was very accommodating

Relaxed and right on the beach

I was told that this resort just reopened on Nov 6, 2021. The room was good and kept very clean, the food was good but, service very slow in getting a 2nd glass of wine!!! Water sports weren't opened yet. Internet cost US$25.00/14 days for one device. Worked ok on cell phones, they needed to install Fire Fox on my Microsoft Surface Pro tablet in order to get wifi? I couldn't wait for the download, it was extremely slow and when tethering to my cell phone, I couldn't connect to my online accounting software. We went to Jolly Rogers Restaurant to use their WiFi. It worked extremely well. Great restaurant, great food and owned by Canadians.

We stayed at Casa Marina for 3 nights. The beach front rooms are large and comfortable. There is an on-call buggy service which will take you to the lobby whenever you want. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large. However, the flush in the toilet was not working properly. This is something the resort must look into. The pool was average sized. The breakfast had limited options but was good nevertheless. The staff are very helpful and courteous. The only "drawback" is that the resort is about 12 kms away from the city. So, you'll have to get to the city by taxi or by bike every time you want to get out of the resort. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and would recommend it to others who are looking for a nice place to stay away from the city.

First room for 1.4 million was tiny and unclean , 2nd villa ok. Staff , not very helpful, I boy was pleasant and friendly and actually looked like he wanted to be there . Check out they tried to charge me again although already paid . No one to help carry our bags downstairs to the cab . Got your money , see ya , was the attitude .
