Hon Tam Resort (formerly MerPerle Hon Tam Resort)

Amazing vacation and complete relaxation! My husband and I stayed at Hontam Resort and were absolutely thrilled! We booked a sea-view bungalow, and it was the best decision. What we particularly loved: Room View: Simply mesmerizing! Every morning started with an incredible panorama of the sea. Bungalow: The room was very spacious, clean, and cozy. The interior was stylish, the bed was super comfortable, and it had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Staff: The guest service was top-notch. Everyone was very friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. Every request was handled instantly. Atmosphere: A true paradise for a romantic getaway. Quiet, well-maintained green grounds, and a sense of seclusion. We will definitely be back! A huge thank you to the hotel for our unforgettable vacation. We recommend it to all couples!

It was great, I should've stayed another night. But that's just how travel goes, always a few regrets. Gives me a reason to come back next time though!

This was our second time staying at this hotel, and we'll definitely be back again. The grounds are pleasant for walks, with plenty of shade. We really liked the hotel's pool. The beach is good, and you can even snorkel there.

An excellent place for relaxation and unwinding! The staff are very polite and always ready to help. The breakfast buffet is fantastic. You can also have delicious lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. There are many beautiful spots on the island, plus Vietnam's largest mud bath resort complex, built on local mineral springs. Overall, it's an excellent place, a solid five-star experience!

Everyone chooses their own way to relax, and my family and I booked a room for one night. For us, that was enough. The hotel is beautiful with its grounds, the quiet, the sounds of nature – and that's probably all its advantages for me. The sea near the hotel was dirty and cold, though the beach was clean. My mom immediately hurt her foot in the sea because of hidden rocks. We quickly moved to the pool. We took some lovely photos and enjoyed the nature by the pool. It was convenient to get to the bungalows by buggy. The room itself was old; the doors were difficult to open, and the bathroom also turned out to be dangerous. My child hit their leg hard on the step around the tub when getting out – thankfully, no fracture. We applied cold and later went to dinner at the restaurant (the only one on site, where breakfast was also served). Dinner was a complete disappointment 🙈. My mom ordered shrimp in a rice flour flatbread, but there were no shrimp, and the flatbread itself was dry and didn't taste good! I had some horrible-tasting pork cartilage, and the meat on a stick wasn't impressive either. My child ordered a burger, which was a 3 out of 5, but at least he was full, unlike the rest of us 😅. If we had stayed at this hotel for several days, we would have been 100% hungry. Next was bedtime. Since I have a child, we went to bed early. A loud noise scared us; we even thought someone had gotten into our room. It turned out to be either the neighbors across the hall or staff members coming to the door to move furniture. It was so loud that it made me truly appreciate the quiet of our city hotel. Breakfast was excellent, varied, and filling. Afterward, we walked to areas A and B (where the mineral pools and mud baths are located). After check-out, we immediately headed into town. We didn't see the point in staying on the hotel grounds any longer, even though we could have stayed all day. Thanks, a one-day stay was great, as long as it didn't include dinner. But for several days? Definitely not.

A heavenly place. Great beach, beautiful views, and a delicious breakfast. We got a magical room with a sea view and a private pool.

The room had great views and a private beach, and the shuttle service was mostly reliable. However, the hotel delivered my luggage two hours late, causing me to miss my scheduled mud bath on the first day. I requested a late checkout for the next day to attend the mud bath, which is a paid activity, but it was denied due to full occupancy, with no alternative compensation. This was very frustrating. In the end, I had to pack my bags, shower in the communal bathroom, and after that, the hotel shuttle wouldn't take me to the front desk for checkout, nearly causing me to miss the boat back to the mainland. The staff's English proficiency was barely existent, with only the lobby manager speaking it, making communication difficult. The facilities were a bit old, and the water pressure was low, but thankfully the water temperature was fine. There was a gecko in the room, but it's understandable to have small animals in this kind of environment. Dinner was terrible; don't bother eating it.
