Phan Thiet Resort in South Vietnam is on everyone's lips. This is a noisy place for youth parties, nightclubs and discos. But if you are looking for peace and quiet, if you came to the sea with a child, then it is better to find a calmer resort. Mui Ne is just what you need. A former fishing village six kilometers northeast of Phan Thiet city, it has been rapidly transformed in recent years. Today it is a continuous resort area with luxurious new hotels stretching along a wonderful sandy beach.
One of these hotels - Aroma Beach Resort & Spa Muine 4(Vietnam) - this article will be devoted to. Real photos of the hotel will also be presented. And what do tourists say in reviews about this hotel? It should be said that the rating of Aroma Beach Resort in Mui Ne, according to the authoritative Tripadviser, is 4.5 points out of five possible.
A little about the resort
Climatic conditions in thisparts of Vietnam allow you to relax here almost all year round. Mui Ne was chosen not only by travelers looking for peace and measured relaxation, but also by all sorts of surfers. But these two categories of tourists do not intersect. Athletes on boards, under sail or parachute frolic on huge waves on the eastern part of the beach, near the cape. There is no wind in the center of Mui Ne Bay, and especially on its western outskirts. Storms at sea are reliably extinguished by breakwaters.
By the way, the described hotel Aroma Beach Resort (Vietnam) is located just in the western part of the beach, on the front page. But the second line still needs to be looked for, because Mui Ne, a new resort that has just begun to be built, occupies space near the sea. Even inexpensive hostels here boast direct access to the beach. But with nightly entertainment in Mui Ne is tight. The resort is designed for calm, family vacationers or athletes who, after swimming in the water all day, go to sleep with roosters. To have fun in nightclubs, you need to take a bus or taxi to Phan Thiet.
Hotel location
Aroma Beach Resort & Spa Muine 4 is located in the fashionable western part of the resort. Tourists in the reviews regard its location ambiguously. Some do not like that the hotel is, as it were, on the outskirts, a kilometer from the main street. The area, they say, is very quiet, if not sleepy. And others are very impressed with the location of the hotel. After all, the main street is a collection of shops, shops, restaurants and cafes. Quite noisy in this area.
If youcame to Vietnam for the sea and the sun, then "Arma Beach Resort" is exactly what you need. The hotel has its own beach, and its well-developed tourist infrastructure allows you not to leave the hotel throughout your vacation. But if you can’t sit still, then you don’t need to restrain yourself. A five-minute drive from the hotel are the ancient towers of Tap Poshanu, all that remains of the once majestic Shiva Temple. There are many natural attractions in the vicinity of Mui Ne - White and Red dunes, a canyon, a lotus lake.
Hotel area
There are simply no old hotels in the new resort. Aroma Beach Resort & Spa Muine 4was built in 2011, and the last renovation took place in 2016. So the cases shine with novelty. The territory of the hotel is not too big, and this is taking into account the fact that it consists of 28 one- and two-story bungalows, 16 villas and four more buildings. But the space is well used.
The whole area is a continuous garden with flowers, palm trees, exotic trees. The restaurant is located on the beach, so you can enjoy Asian cuisine right under the sound of the waves. The hotel has a swimming pool, according to the reviews of tourists, very spacious and clean. There were no mosquitoes in the area. There is a currency exchange at the reception. According to tourists, the course in it is better than in the city, and they don’t take a commission there. Nearby, 50 meters from the entrance to the hotel, there is a scooter rental and a couple of inexpensive cafes and shops. For family tourists, it will be interesting to know that there is a playground on the territory of the hotel, and the swimming pool hasshallow water area for bathing babies.
Rooms
As already mentioned, guests at the Aroma Beach Resort & Spa Muine 4are accommodated either in villas or in bungalows. There are four more buildings, but they are also low, which creates an additional atmosphere of relaxation. Not a single roof peeks out from behind the palm trees. The hotel rooms are divided into the following categories:
- Villa (50 square meters). These houses are located far from the sea. Each villa has 8 rooms.
- Bungalow (55 sqm). There are rooms with both garden and sea views. Each bungalow has 4 rooms, each with a separate entrance from the street.
- Aroma Triple (85 sqm). In reviews of this category of rooms, tourists mention a huge balcony and a jacuzzi.
- Suite (98 sqm). These rooms consist of a bedroom and a living room. There is also a jacuzzi and a huge balcony overlooking the sea.
- Aroma Luxury (119 sqm). These suites are located on the ground floor, and therefore do not have a balcony adjoining them, but a spacious terrace. There is also a Jacuzzi.
What's in the rooms?
The section will describe the most budget accommodation at the Aroma Beach Resort. The first thing that catches your eye is the mega-bed. It has an orthopedic mattress, and therefore it is very comfortable to sleep there. Tourists say that the rooms are decorated very stylishly, with slight hints of orientalism. They will appeal to those who do not like monotonous hotel rooms. Furniture and plumbing are new, everything functions properly. Televisionwith a flat screen, among others, the Russian channel also broadcasts.
There is a mini-bar, the filling of which, except for drinking water, is paid. Tourists note that instead of cabinets there are niches with shelves, they are twitched with curtains. Is there a safe in the room. In the spacious bedroom there was also a place for the living area - a sofa with pillows and a coffee table. But in this barrel of honey there is, nevertheless, a spoon of tar: the air conditioner is installed opposite the bed. Many tourists were forced to turn it off at night so that they would not be blown away.
Free room service
In reviews of Aroma Beach Resort & Spa Muine 4, tourists claim that you can use the safe for free. Also in the rooms (and throughout the hotel) there is free Wi-Fi. There were no complaints about his speed, the tourists communicated with friends via Skype. As it should be in a hotel with a 4-star status, drinking water is put into the mini-bar every day, and cosmetic accessories are put into the bathroom. But the latter are not only a standard set of soap, shampoo and shower gel. Here you will be offered a toothbrush with paste, a comb and a hair balm.
The bathroom itself is a small apartment. The toilet is separate. There is both a bathtub and a shower cabin, both finished in stone. Each room has an electric kettle, and the maids put bags for making drinks when cleaning. In the closet, guests will find a straw beach bag, a rain umbrella, white bathrobes and slippers.
Food
Most Russian tourists visiting Aroma Beach Resort & Spa Muine 4 order the BB concept. But if you do not plan to leave Mui Ne somewhere, then it is better to pay for half board or three meals a day. The food in the restaurant is excellent. The fame of the skill of cooks spread far beyond Mui Ne. The Vietnamese order weddings and other festive events here, for which the hotel has a banquet hall. It should be said that full board is not "all inclusive", so the services of bars on the territory of the hotel are paid. There are two such establishments in Aroma Beach Resort. One, "Pool Bar", is open from 10 am until sunset. There you can order soft drinks, ice cream, cocktails. The second bar, with the eloquent name "Sky" (Sky), is located on the roof of one of the hotel buildings. You can also order various dishes there.
Most tourists ate lunch and dinner outside the hotel. The most attractive in terms of price they called the institution "Madame Lan". This cafe serves Asian cuisine. In the Deja Vu restaurant, prices are higher, but the choice is more diverse. In addition, there is an entertainment program in the evenings. The disadvantage of Vietnamese catering is that 90 percent of establishments close at 22:00. Only Joe's Cafe is open late in the area around the hotel.
Aroma Beach Resort & Spa 4 breakfast reviews
How do tourists characterize the morning meal? The time allotted for breakfast is humane - from 7 to 10 o'clock, so that both "larks" and "owls" have time to eat. The hotel itself is small, so there was no flea market in the restaurant, even when the hotel was full. The terrace where the meals are held is perfectly shaded, there are no flies, and the tablecloths, crockery and cutlery are clean. The waiters are very accommodating. They quickly clear the tables, bring full trays of food to replace the empty ones. As for the choice of dishes, all tourists, even the pickiest ones, were satisfied.
Usually hotels serve instant coffee. But not at Aroma Beach Resort! Here coffee beans, freshly ground, prepared by a skilled barista. The breakfast buffet has always been divided into three zones: European cuisine (for tourists nostalgic for their homeland), Chinese (for numerous guests from China) and Vietnamese. So it was possible to have a snack both with familiar dishes and get acquainted with the culinary traditions of Southeast Asia. In the reviews, tourists recall that breakfast always had at least six types of fruit. All dishes were very fresh and deliciously prepared. Tourists recommend trying Pho soup - the Vietnamese eat it for breakfast.
Beach and sea
The hotel "Aroma Beach Resort" (Vietnam) in Mui Ne has a small part of the coast. From the buildings farthest from the sea, walk about 50 meters to it. What can you say about the hotel's beach? The coastal strip here is narrower than that of neighboring hotels. But the sand is cleaner. All garbage brought by the sea or left by vacationers is immediately removed by the attendants. Even in a season that is not very favorable for swimming, the waves here are small, not higher than a meter. But since Mui Ne is famous as a surfer resort, you can meet people here onboards and kites.
The beach can accommodate anyone, but sunbeds and umbrellas are reserved for hotel guests only. Since the hotel is on the outskirts, there are very few merchants here. Beach towels are provided free of charge at the pool. Ebbs are observed, but they are hardly noticeable. The sea recedes only a couple of meters. Entering the water is not quite suitable for bathing babies because of the rough surf. But once you overcome it, you can enjoy swimming in a calm sea.
Pool
What do tourists say about this artificial pond at the Aroma Beach Resort (Vietnam)? It is quite spacious, with an adjoining children's area, very clean, no slippery surfaces. On one of the shores of the pool there are four Bali Bed tents, but their use is paid. But sunbeds are presented in large numbers and there are enough for everyone.
There is a bar nearby, it plays soft and unobtrusive music. In general, the hotel has done everything possible to provide its guests with complete relaxation. Another thing is that vacationers, especially from China, do not quite understand why it is not right to yell at the pool, run into the water and splash everyone around.
Free services
For those tourists who have rented a scooter or a car, the Aroma Beach Resort 4hotel provides a place to park the vehicle. Parents can take their child out to play in the playground. It is perfectly shaded by greenery and provided with softcoated. The restaurant for the smallest guests has high chairs, and upon request, a baby cot can be placed in the room. Of the free services, fast Wi-Fi has already been mentioned.
Those who can't go a day without training can pump up their biceps in the gym. You can also play billiards, darts, beach volleyball and table tennis for free. Do you want to watch TV in a big company? For this, the hotel has a salon. There is also a small library with books in different languages. If you leave Mui Ne late, then after checking out of the room, things can be folded in the storage room at the reception.
Paid services

If you want to spend a romantic evening with your spouse, you can entrust the care of a small child to a certified nanny. You can also rent a scooter or car directly at the hotel. True, the services of an office located nearby will cost you less.
The waters near the coast of Mui Ne are not very suitable for diving and snorkeling due to the turbidity of the water. But the “correct” winds here create ideal waves for all kinds of surfing, both classical and its wind and kite varieties. Do you want to join this sport? Tell the reception about your desire, and you will be provided with equipment and lessons from the instructor.
Spa
Full hotel name -Aroma Beach Resort & Spa 4. That is why it is necessary to tell about the center of bathing pleasures especially. Alas, the services in it are paid. The spa center is located in the main building of the hotel. In addition to the sauna and jacuzzi with a small pool, there are also massage rooms. Certified specialists can conduct not only a relaxing session of the whole body. At your request, you will be given Thai, aromatic, oil, massage with heated stones and other similar procedures. The spa center also offers a treatment course. For example, a deep massage of the muscles of the lumbar or neck and shoulder area. There are also anti-aging and anti-cellulite programs.
Tours
Tourists urge guests not to sit in the hotel, but to actively travel around the outskirts of Mui Ne (Vietnam). The reviews about Aroma Beach Resort mention that the hotel has a tour desk. His employee will kindly tell you where you can go on a trip and what sights to see. As a bonus, a free trip to Phan Thiet is included with the purchased excursion.
From expensive tours, you can choose a two-day visit to Hanoi. But this, travelers say, is very tiring. It is better to go to Ho Chi Minh City, this big city is closer. If you want to have fun with the whole family, go to Nha Trang, to the Winpearl Amusement Island. Also, with a guide, you can visit natural attractions in the vicinity of Mui Ne. But it’s better to go to the Cham towers of Tap Poshan on your own.
Lifehacks
Tourists are advised not to buy into the free offer to go to Phan Thiet. This is a useless waste of time. You will be taken to pearl jewelry workshops, souvenir shops and other commercial points where the guide is given a percentage of your purchases. Much cheaper than shopping on your own. Getting to Phan Thiet from the Aroma Beach Resort (Vietnam) is very easy. The hotel is located from this city closest to all others in Mui Ne. It even has a special access road.
So, you need to leave the hotel and immediately turn right. After a couple of minutes you will reach the main highway linking Mui Ne with Phan Thiet. Cross the road and wait for the red bus No. 1 and 9. These routes go through different streets of Phan Thiet, but you will definitely get to the city. The ticket is bought from the conductor on the bus. But public transport only runs until 5:30 pm, so those who like to walk in the evening will have to fork out for a taxi.
General reviews of Aroma Beach Resort (Vietnam)
The lion's share of tourists who visited the hotel liked the rest. Many travelers leave rave reviews about the hotel and admit that they would gladly return here again. Literally every response contains a mention of the cordiality and hospitality of the staff. Alas, the reception staff do not know Russian, but you can communicate perfectly with them in English.
Breakfasts at the hotel received a lot of praise. You can eat well and not be hungry until dinner. The rooms are very spacious, stylishly decorated and comfortable. The maids clean up impeccably. Despite the fact that the services of the spa center are more expensive than in massage parlors on the street, you definitely need to visit it at least once. Many tourists praisebeach. They say that you should not be too lazy to get up at least once at 5:30 to meet the dawn. The sight is breathtaking!
