Casa Marina Resort

Very good location, great rooms and service

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.

Chambre super deluxe surplombant la plage magnifique. Toutes les commodités, belle salle de bain ( pas de baignoire). Vue splendide de la chambre. Wifi fonctionnel. Personnel chaleureux et compétent. Piscine d’eau de mer, plage propre, malgré quelques sacs plastique. On peut utiliser des kayaks. Un buggy vous amène de la piscine à la réception et vice versa à la demande. Petit déjeuner excellent (attention, peu de plats européens) avec un personnel adorable. Seul bémol : une réception avec musique (forte) et karaoke a eu lieu un soir : bruit et musique jusqu’à 22:00. Je me suis plaint auprès de la réception et de la manager qui nous a proposé de changer de chambre pour la nuit, ce que j’ai apprécié mais il eût été préférable que l’on nous informe AVANT afin de prendre des dispositions pour ce soir-là ! Attention : pas de navette vers Quy Nhơn situé à 12 km. En bref : excellent séjour de 6 nuits, malgré l’inconvénient cité plus haut.
