Delicious Vietnamese Cuisine

The dining experience at Whale Island Resort was a highlight of our stay. I loved that the food was authentic Vietnamese, with each meal being a good surprise from the set menu. The flavors were vibrant and truly reflective of the local cuisine. We enjoyed the variety and particularly appreciated the chance to try dishes we wouldn't have chosen otherwise.

Quaint Bungalows with Charm

I stayed in a lovely bungalow with a charming colonial style, featuring a cozy four-poster bed and ceiling fan. The room was basic yet comfortable, with beautiful views of the bay just steps away. Each morning, I enjoyed coffee on the terrace, surrounded by nature. It was simply serene.

Relaxing Beach Massage

We indulged in fabulous massages offered right on the beach, which was a fantastic way to unwind. The sound of the waves crashing in the background only added to the tranquility of the experience. I felt revitalized and pampered afterward, making it a perfect complement to the overall relaxing atmosphere of the resort.

Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements

My stay was enhanced by the comfortable sleeping arrangements in the bungalow. The bed was just the right mix of firm and plush, allowing for a restful night’s sleep. I wasn’t too bothered by the absence of air conditioning, as the ceiling fan kept the room airy and pleasant even on warmer nights.

I had an amazing stay at this resort with its beautiful setting and tranquil atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, clean, and offered stunning views over the bay. Although the dining experience was unique with a set menu that introduced us to new dishes, I did notice some litter in the water which was a bit disappointing. Overall, this place is perfect for those looking to unwind in nature while being pampered by attentive staff.

This resort truly felt like paradise, nestled right at the beach with easy access to all kinds of snorkeling adventures. The atmosphere was peaceful, perfect for escaping the hustle of city life. The restaurant served delicious meals, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. However, the rooms could use better air conditioning for comfort, and there were issues with plastic waste nearby on the beach.

Whale Island Resort is a beautiful escape in Vietnam, offering a beachfront experience that's hard to beat. I truly enjoyed the serene atmosphere, the fantastic snorkeling, and the delicious food. However, I did notice some litter in the ocean which dampened the overall natural beauty of the location. Overall, it's a wonderful place to relax, but be prepared for some environmental challenges.

I had a wonderful time at the resort, enjoying fantastic snorkeling experiences both in the bay and just off the beach. The food options were excellent, with a delightful five-course menu. However, I found some mornings disrupted by fishing boats preparing nearby, which made it less peaceful than I'd hoped. Overall, it’s a hidden gem for those seeking relaxation and a bit of adventure.
