Movenpick Resort Cam Ranh

Do I even need to say more? The moment you check in, you won't want to leave. Private pool, main pool, chocolate making, pizza making, kids' craft activities, arcade, gym, mini-mart, chocolate hour, and the best restaurants! I want to come back again!

Arrived at the hotel before 12 PM on a Saturday in August. Check-in was smooth, and I received a chilled welcome drink. My room was scheduled to be ready at 3 PM. I was able to store my luggage, which allowed me to enjoy the pools. Around 12 PM on that August Saturday, most of the deck chairs at the main pool and kids' pool were already taken. However, there were plenty of empty deck chairs at the beach. If you need to inflate floats, the station is located near the main pool, not the beach. Life jackets are available for free rental. There's a kids' pool, a slider, and a kids' room within the hotel, offering various activities. The kids' room entrance from the back of the breakfast restaurant was convenient during breakfast. During breakfast, mascots dressed as pandas and bunnies greeted the children and there was a dance time. There was also a complimentary chocolate hour from 3 PM to 4 PM. I highly recommend this hotel for families with children, as there are so many fun things to keep them entertained! On Sunday morning in August, the breakfast restaurant at 7 AM had very few indoor tables available. The front desk staff and buggy drivers were all very helpful and friendly! The beachfront villa was absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed both the lively main pool with its large slides and the quiet, relaxing private pool at the villa.

The Movenpick offers excellent value for money and facilities. While the price might be a bit high, you can't find this level of service domestically for the same cost. They even accommodated me without extra charge when I mistakenly indicated my child's age as under 1 during booking.

Our last hotel in Vietnam was the Movenpick, just a mile or two from the Westin, sharing the same beach. We arrived before 2 PM and they allowed us an early check-in, which was seamless and a great start. They have a chocolate hour at 3 PM; we walked quite a distance to get there. It was average, but the kids enjoyed it. There are lots of activities at the pool and on the beach, including a slide. I forgot to bring snorkeling shoes, so after sliding, you have to walk barefoot, meaning only one person could be holding the shoes at a time. Pros: In terms of value for money, I highly recommend this hotel. Although the room was a bit old, they provided many complimentary items like the mini-bar, chocolates, and cookies. For my son's birthday, they also sent a cake and fruit. All the essentials were there, and I particularly loved the lounge chair on the balcony. Cons: The breakfast was just average.

We went on a family trip, and it was a great resort for staying with kids. We opted for the full board, and all three meals were excellent, so we had a wonderful time without worrying about food!

I really loved the hotel. The only downside was the elevators in the condo building where the apartments are located. There are only two of them, and staff use them starting at 7 AM to move carts, making it impossible for guests to get in. We often had to walk down the stairs. Also, there are no full-length mirrors, neither in the elevators nor the lobby, only two small ones in the room. But these are minor issues. The hotel itself is superb! The grounds are meticulously maintained and huge; you find yourself saying "wow" at every turn. We visited for our 10th wedding anniversary, and they even organized a dinner right on the beach despite the bad weather. Amazing! Our stay was fantastic 🫶 we'll definitely be back.

unimpressed. Expectations did not meet reality. This hotel was the last stop on our trip to Vietnam, and we'd stayed in various hotels of different standards. It's a very large hotel in terms of guests. Two buildings, three areas with villas. As a result, you have to queue for a table at breakfast. The staff assigns you a table for breakfast. This means you can't sit where you want; we were always seated at the very back of the hall, quite far from the buffet. Perhaps it's because we had a child, and there's a play area back there, but our daughter didn't use it, and we would have preferred to sit closer. The staff apparently knows best. I was also very surprised that there's no Vietnamese coffee in this Vietnamese hotel; they have Americano, latte, and other types. Similarly, there's no Vietnamese massage; they offer Thai and Balinese. (Yet, coffee and massage are the best in Vietnam.) We stayed in the condo building. It's indeed a tired building; the shower broke on our very first day. And the most interesting thing is that there were three of us with a child, and we specifically chose a condo room because we needed a sofa bed for our daughter to sleep on. The room photos showed a happy family with a made-up sofa bed and a regular bed. In reality, we had to pay 750,000 VND per day to have the sofa bed made. That means paying about 2500 rubles (approx. 27 USD) per day just for bedding. This was the first time we encountered such a situation anywhere in Vietnam. Yes, we paid for extra beds in other hotels. But this wasn't an extra bed; it was an extra set of bedding for a sofa that was already there. Everywhere else where there was a sofa or small couch, it was made up for free, and they didn't charge extra as if it were an additional bed. Overall, I don't recommend it. Perhaps it's worth considering other hotels nearby if you want to visit Cam Ranh. But we definitely won't be returning here.

A beautiful resort with an abundance of activities. The landscaping details are meticulously designed throughout the resort. Highly recommended! Choosing Cam Ranh Resort is a decision you won't regret.
