Nha Trang Marriott Resort & Spa, Hon Tre Island

Good location with nice beach area, friendly and accommodating staff. Warm welcome with fresh flowers and fruit platter is a pleasant surprise. The hotel still has to figure out something with the buffet at breakfast and dinner when more people stay at the hotel (we stayed 12 nights during Chinese new year) - the quality of food and service must stay consistent as we are paying the same or even extra price for a room and meal during busy time. Coming in the middle of breakfast time to empty plates and bowls is very disappointing. Managers acknowledging the problem and willing to solve it gives hope, as this hotel has great potential. Maybe it’s just our luck, but I’ve never seen housekeeping as frequently as in this hotel in my entire life - they always came either at lunchtime when we are in the room or before dinner when we get ready 😂 Also please inform people at check in and your staff about your room locks - the lock catch and door handle can block itself while the door is still open, so the door won’t close properly before you reopen it. We came to our door wide open after housekeeping once, we also saw many open doors on our floor every single day during our stay.

Was an OK Stay, but just OK. I learned, when I arrived, that this Marriot Hotel is a "rebranded" Vinpearl-Hotel and only for about 2 months under Marriot Management. The Staff was enthusiastic, but generally fairly junior In many aspects, Marriot Hon Tre is not yet up to the 5-star-Level they advertise. The Breakfast Buffet was admittedly nice and plentiful, with choices for every taste. The other F&B offers were not attractive for me, so I usually had lunch and dinners outside (which means an effort to go off the island). I see the potential for this property, which however still has to materialize.

Good staff, good location, clean rooms but something is pretty old
