Van Chai Resort | Resort in Sam Son, Thanh Hoa

“Everything was absolutely perfect!!! We could not have asked for a better time. All of the people at the resort went over and beyond. We would highly recommend your resort and would give a 5 star rating. Thank you for everything!!!! Best regards to everyone ❤️ Heather and Tony”

“We were one of very few groups when we stayed due to time of year but the staff were nothing but accommodating regardless and upgraded our room on arrival. There was no one else using the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi but was put on whenever requested, towels were refreshed constantly and everyone had a smile for us. We had a few different massages which were lovely and the food was great. We had a lovely few days relaxing here after an adventure filled trip, it was just what the doctor ordered. We had our taxi and bus booked for us and on leaving our bus was put back an hour so they extended check out to make us more comfortable. The resort is an hours drive from Nimh Binh. We had a check out of the town and what was open was lovely but not a ton was due to time of year again I expect but wasn't needed because the resort catered perfectly for our 2 days!”

“I was in Van Chai Resort for last 3 weeks. Just came back home. I found this place as unique, beautiful and in the local style. But I travel a lot and I have been almost in all continents and I saw many beautiful resorts specially every time I look for the same local style. While the unique place is not only pretty buildings, good place, trees, flowers, etc but above all the people. People who serve visitors every day. And for the first time in my life in Van Chai I’ve met wonderful staff of resort. Employees of Van Chai are very helpful, friendly, kind, caring in very natural way. Cool and great staff. But two persons deserve special distinction and they are Haiha and Thuy Vu. Both absolutely fantastic and the best. More time I saw Thuy and I can say she is absolutely professional, carrying about all details making tourists think only about rest. Ladies bravo. Thanks to them and specially Thuy professionalism I’ve made decision to come back to this resort with friends. Best resort, best people ever:)”

“Amazing hotel, good service, everything better that expected”

“Everybody needs to be spoiled once in a while , I chose this hotel for that reason to end my holiday on a high note , and I was not disappointed it was everything that I could wish for . Yes it cost a bit more than your average hotel in Asia , but Wow it was worth every penny , and was the cream on my cake to end my last four days in Vietnam , I will definitely be doing it again . Thank you all at Van Chai Resort”

“The resort itself was quite nice, the staff friendly, but there were a few issues including the spa and indoor pool not working until the day before we left. The beach was really grey and not suitable for swimming. But there were two other major problems - the team building group who came for one night which had karaoke playing through the whole resort til 11pm. It was so loud that we had to the turn off the TV because we couldn't hear it. The following morning at 6.05am, we were awoken with extremely loud music and "Hello, hello, hello" blaring out from the microphone as the team building recommenced. When family members complained, we were met with 'it's team building', followed up by a small plate of fruit. The ultimate problem was though, the 24 hour construction going on around the resort as the town was building new roads and resorts ready for the major tourism event the following week. The noise was non stop, but the shuddering was worse. We had to put tissues behind the pictures on the wall because of the rattling. The trucks beeping at all times of the day and night and the machinery noise was awful. I know it wasn't Van Chai's fault, but no discounts or offers were made to compensate in any way. There were 22 friends and family members at the resort, and honestly, if there was another resort near by but away from the building works, we would have left. In another year, I am sure the resort will be lovely, but not yet.”

“It was still low season with routine maintenance happening so not many guests staying. But there was a peace and calm about the resort that made it very relaxing and rejuvenating. All the staff were attentive and helpful, especially at reception and in the restaurant. The pool was a big hit with our 7yo son but so too the grounds. The beautiful gardens could be appreciated from many resting points. Breakfast menu could have more variety, but dinner choices were excellent. Ocean view room was plenty big enough for 3 people and well equipped without being excessive. Clean, tidy, and mosquito net over bed standard. Located right on water front, it was easy walking distance to local town. Several restaurants immediately next door. Overall a great place for a relaxing weekend with the family or a romantic getaway.”
