My wife and I spent almost one month at Blue Ocean Resort in December 2022 and January 2023 on a kitesurf trip to Vietnam. We were accommodated in a Sea Front Bungalow (number 104), which are clearly the hotel's best rooms. Facing the beach with a large terrace equipped with two sofas, they are spacious and well-appointed. Room decoration is modern, with a small Asian touch. The bathroom was also very spacious with a shower and an outdoor tub, a very nice feature. Each Sea Front Bungalow also has its own two sunbeds on the sand, very close to the beach. The beach has suffered a lot from coastal erosion over the past years and is certainly no longer what it used to be. Despite sand bags and other remediation measures, it is very narrow in the section in front of the hotel, turning kite launch into a difficult exercise. Hotel and bungalows are located in a well-kept garden with tall coconut trees and tropical plants offering a welcoming shade. Although we didn't use it a lot we found the pool area also very nice. Due to the location and a low occupancy rate during our stay, the hotel was very quiet. Kirsty, the hotel manager, went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable. We never had lunch or dinner at the hotel, but very often had snacks/small bites during the day and liked the food. Breakfast was also very good, although coffee was definitely not up to the hotel's standard. Expresso or higher quality coffee should definitely be offered. We attended the New Year's Eve Party, mandatory for customers staying on the night of December 31st. Although we didn't initially expect much from it, we enjoyed it. It was entertaining and well organized with a proper balance between music, shows (spectacular traditional Vietnamese show), and food. Hotel staff's poor English level sometimes makes communication not easy, but we could always count on Kirsty to make things work. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Blue Ocean Resort, and I have no issue to strongly recommend the place for a stay in Mui Né.
