Meliá Vinpearl Cam Ranh Beach Resort

“Very good buffet breakfast. Villas need partial updating. Room service menu needs expanding.”

I think this place offers one of the best buffet breakfasts in Vietnam, with a wide variety that was all cooked nicely. The resort itself is pleasant, with beautiful gardens and a spacious layout, and the main outdoor pool is outstanding—right on the beach. However, the villas lack any fencing or screening between the three 3‑bedroom units, so the neighboring lounge room window sits just 60 cm from your private pool, offering zero privacy. The pool edging had a buildup of grit and grime, and the tiles were falling off. Maintenance workers were cutting trees right at your back door early in the morning. Although the villas include kitchens, they provide no cookware, glasses, cutlery, or pans, so you’d have to rent them and spend almost 1 million dong for basic plates and utensils—an unreasonably low price. I doubt the floors are mopped between guests, and there are no nearby food options.

“Rất đáng gia!”

The breakfast was private and very good. The breakfast menu didn’t change.

“Relaxing and gorgeous”

We were bumped up from a 3‑bedroom garden view to a 3‑bedroom beach view, which made staying close to the sand a real treat, especially if you’re willing to pay the extra. The resort spreads out, so the beach is a 10‑12 minute walk from the lobby, or you can request a golf cart. The private pool was a highlight, and we called room service a few times for dinner right by the pool; the menu was solid and you can order through their app. The main pool also offered food and drink from one of the restaurants. The Mango Bingxu was a daily favorite, and the breakfast buffet was big and varied. Early mornings and afternoons on the beach were less crowded. The beds were incredibly comfy and the villa was roomy. When a sliding door needed fixing, the staff arrived quickly. The staff were very helpful. The Korean BBQ was a bit underwhelming—the pork and beef were tough. A sign in the villa asked us not to hang wet suits and towels outside, but inside the bathrooms had almost no hanging space, especially for bath towels; a retractable drying cord over the tub, plus more hooks and bars, would help. The beach chairs filled up fast in the morning, so adding more would be useful.

The hotel was excellent, with service at the highest level. There were no flaws.

“A wonderful luxury experience”

Sometimes you stay at a place that sticks with you forever, and this was one of those. I absolutely loved it. The apartments were beautifully furnished, well laid out, and super comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic, offering a wide range of multicultural dishes. The complimentary yoga sessions were set in a gorgeous environment, led by a fantastic instructor, and they were a calming way to start each day. The resort also offered free tuk‑tuks that would pick you up from your apartment door and take you to the beach, restaurants, spa, or anywhere else on the property. I’d highly recommend this beautiful resort to anyone seeking a luxurious experience.
