Whale Island Resort

WHALE ISLAND resort was organized in 1997 and after almost 30 years the vegetation has became abundance, well kept, branches properly trimmed so that you have imagination of staying in perfect garden. The bungalows were nice bamboo hats, facilities were clean, in very good condition. Fans in bungalows, beds covered with muslin against mosquitos, warm water, complimentary drinking water. Staff was extremely friendly and responded positively to all our requests. Food in the restaurant (no other option of catering as there is no other restaurant or grocery shop nearby) was very tasty, bar had good selection of world alcohols. Beach is a shell-type beach which makes bare fool walking a bit painful. Water in the sea is crystal clear. You must however be careful while swimming as some big rocks are withing the swimming area and in some areas sea urchins can be easily spotted. Sport centre with mask/tubes, kayaks. Massage services at quite reasonable services. 30 min walking trail to the summit gives nice panoramic view of the area specially at sunset time. In generally – good place for total relaxation.

We stayed a couple of days at Whale Island Resort. The food and cocktails were remarkable and because the island is not accessible by car, it was really quiet on the beach as on the sea. There are some nice hiking options and for snorkling as well.

My friend and I booked this resort for a one-night stay on March 3, planning for a short but memorable getaway. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed — the resort is absolutely beautiful, and the staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and informative about all the activities available. The private transport service we booked made getting from Nha Trang to the resort easy and comfortable. We had an amazing time swimming in crystal-clear waters, soaking in the breathtaking views, enjoying delicious food, trekking on the island, and kayaking. However, the main reason I'm writing this review is to share how incredibly supportive the resort team was during a critical and vulnerable moment. In the evening, I accidentally stepped on a sea urchin, and since this had never happened to me before, the pain was intense, and I was in complete shock — I needed to get to a hospital as soon as possible. Amidst all the chaos, the resort manager quickly stepped in, arranged a boat and a private car to the nearest hospital, and personally accompanied us at night, helping with the Vietnamese language. He stayed with us until I calmed down and the doctors took care of everything. In an incredibly kind gesture, he also covered the first-aid care expenses while we were still processing what had happened. In such a stressful situation, his support, presence, and understanding meant the world to me, and I’ll always be grateful for his kindness. So, if you’re considering this resort — go for it! It’s a stunning place, and the level of care and hospitality is exceptional. I just wish I hadn’t gotten injured, but even that experience showed me how wonderful the team is. 10/10, absolutely recommend. Writing this review is my small way of saying thank you!

If you like to read, write, relax, no one bother you, good food, this is the place. The food is excellent, 5 course set menu change everyday. The potato soup French style is even better than in France. The Apple Salad is so refreshing. Room is clean, the staff is very helpful.

A very nice relaxing and quiet island. We have enjoyed our three days on this nice resort, an idyllic place! Very cosy bar and terras with good cocktails, fruitjuices and a great view! The food is excellent with a set menu of 5 courses vietnameze specialties. The snorkeling in the bay is quite good, not for corals but there is a lot of different fishes. Many thanks to the friendly service of all the staff!

We stopped here for 2 nights as part of a group cycling from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi. The ferry across takes about 20 minutes. Lovely island with I think no more than 35 guests allowed. Rooms are all the same but good, toiletries, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities are provided. Rooms do t have air con but there is a ceiling fan and mosquito net for the bed. We had no issues with being too hot or bitten. You can hire snorkelling equipment, kayaks and there is a small catamaran. Sun loungers with cushions and beach towels provided. As others have said mind the sea urchins, which aren’t an issue once your swimming. Massage service available, 45 minutes for around £12. Not the best (in my opinion) but others liked it. The food was great, we had a 5 course set menu so tried dishes we probably wouldn’t normally have. The staff are friendly..
