Thap Ba Hot Spring Center

Good hotel on beachfront in walking distance to market, restaurants and coffee shops. Was disappointed with the number of sunloungers (about 6/8?!) on the beach which is surprising for the size of hotel.

Beautiful property, helpful staffs but it was not for us. The on going construction limits where you can go. We stayed in one of the coastal suites. The room was spacious with decent view from the balcony. The large window in the living room looks directed at the wall of another villa. Front of villas are nicely landscape but the villas are very close to each other so it feels like I was staying in some upscale manicure neighborhood and not at a resort. Breakfast was okay on first day, and we felt like bánh mì was not fresh. Breakfast was better on our second day. We prepaid for half board option and tried one dinner. It was very good. We cut our stay short because we felt too confined.

We spent five nights at L’Alya Ninh Van Bay as a family of four, and it was an incredible experience. The setting and privacy define this place. The resort sits in a quiet bay framed by mountains and open water, with so few villas that you rarely feel other guests around. That sense of space and calm is what makes it feel truly luxurious. On arrival, my wife actually started crying because she was so moved by how beautiful it was. The villas and grounds are immaculately maintained. Everything worked, nothing felt overlooked, and housekeeping serviced the room twice daily. Service was warm, attentive, and responsive. Our butler, An, was outstanding and made the stay seamless. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and well executed. A mix of Western and Vietnamese options, good fruit, strong coffee, and made-to-order items. It set the tone for the day. Food overall was very strong. The grouper grilled in banana leaf was a highlight (order in advance—they source it fresh for you). We also appreciated the personal engagement from the restaurant management team. A private sunset cruise on the catamaran—with canapés, bubbly, and a waterslide for the kids—was unforgettable. A true luxury experience defined by setting, privacy, and thoughtful execution. We’re very glad we chose to come here.
