Hon Tam Resort (formerly MerPerle Hon Tam Resort)

The rooms are old and outdated. The bed linen was dirty, and there was a damp smell in the room. The scenery is beautiful though. You can stay for one night, but no longer than that.

Everything was excellent. The staff were attentive, and the beach was magnificent. The boat to and from the city runs every 2 hours, it would be great if it were more frequent. Breakfasts were decent. The island itself is beautiful. We plan to return.

1. What I didn't like: 1) I made a reservation for August 2nd to August 4th, 2026, back in March 2026. When I arrived at 4 PM, timing it with my boat ride, they said they couldn't find my reservation and I couldn't check in. └ I kept insisting they reconfirm and questioning why my reservation wasn't there. Eventually, they said they had a spare room and let me in. (Trip.com showed no rooms available for that date... what's going on?) → Trip.com: The Vinpearl reception told me to contact where I booked, so I did. Trip.com said my reservation was confirmed and they had verified it with the resort. (What the heck?!) → Vinpearl: I received a KakaoTalk message asking if everything was okay. When I told them what happened, they confirmed my reservation was valid. In conclusion, we just looked like the strange ones... ㅡ,.ㅡ (They say a good start is half the battle, but this...) 2) Accommodation: It was old, and there was a lot of dust on the interior walls. Cleanliness is fundamental for accommodation... it seems they don't clean properly... (I had to wipe it myself to hang my wet clothes...) The window sills were so wide that bugs could easily get in. (There was a dead cockroach in the room). They should really add something to keep bugs out... there were also traces of hatched bugs on the wall... 3) There were stains on the bathroom wall (snot marks, mold...). It was hard to ignore. It seemed like the towels were washed carelessly... there were several brown stains. └ I think it would be good for them to visit other resorts and learn about their cleaning standards (perhaps even using a separate cleaning company and having the resort manager check every room after checkout). 2. What I liked: 1) Being on an island, there weren't too many people, and it was great for using the beach and pool. 2) All the front desk staff were friendly, making it easy to call the buggy car. Although they said it would take 15 minutes, they always arrived within 5 minutes. 3) The breakfast was delicious. The staff at Seabreeze were also very friendly. 4) After the mud bath, there were surprisingly many places to go on the way back to the accommodation (3 swimming pools (including the one for the accommodation), a children's water park, old houses, and restaurants scattered around). Conclusion: If you can overlook the flaws, it's very satisfying. 90% willingness to revisit (the condition of the accommodation deducted 10%).

It was great! The beach was clean, the sea was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was super.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything. It was an unforgettable vacation on a stunning island, with friendly and polite staff, a clean pool, cozy rooms, and diverse cuisine. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and acquaintances!

Room: Initially, I wasn't happy because the air conditioner's outdoor unit was right outside, and so was the one next door. It would be a bit noisy at night for someone sensitive to sound. So I changed rooms, but it was a bit complicated. At first, they asked me to just make do for one night and change rooms the next day. With the help of Ctrip, I finally moved to another room around 9:30 PM, but I had to pay extra. Ctrip really helps when you need it, no complaints there. Brother Liu's help was truly excellent. Service: My sunglasses went missing, and I kept reporting it on WeChat. Eventually, they found them for me. The service was excellent. One person was particularly enthusiastic; I think the untranslated image was their employee ID number? Environment: Very good, I liked it a lot. I stayed once and would like to come back again. Experience: Fantastic. Excellent service.

Gorgeous island, excellent beach. The pool villa was just super! Breakfast was good, and for dinner, we had the buffet with lots of seafood and BBQ beef. However, the à la carte dinner menu didn't have a very wide selection. The staff was very responsive. I loved everything. I'll definitely come back!

Before checking in, I read many reviews of hotels, and some of the negative ones I really couldn't understand how they were written. During my 3-day, 2-night stay here, to be honest, whether it was the front desk, back-office services, or concierge, restaurant, and other departments, we highly commend the excellent service. However, for many current tourists, there are too many low-quality guests. These low-quality guests are not here to enjoy a holiday; they are here to spoil it.
