Before we went to Con Dao, we read the terrible reviews about this resort and arrived prepared for the worst. However, to our astonishment, this was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in Vietnam, and we have traveled the country reasonably extensively! The hotel offers double rooms in the main complex as well as rooms in smaller... More

I am not a fussy person, but for USD50 a night this place was awful. They served squid for breakfast (you couldn't get anything else), the room was horrible and you couldn't even order a cup of coffee.

While the hotel itself is ok (run of the mill 2-3 star facilities) the service will make your vacation a nightmare. See list of issues we faced below,... More

We stayed in a Superior room at the Saigon Con Dao Resort during mid-January 2008. The rate was $38 USD/night for three people which includes a small surcharge for the third person. The resort will pick you up at the small airport and take you to the resort via van. Roughly a 20 minute drive over slightly mountainous roads. The... More
