Last Chinese New Year, I went to Nha Trang, and this year I flew to Ho Chi Minh City. My travel plans were quite last-minute, and honestly, Ho Chi Minh City doesn't have many attractions. Hotels in Mui Ne were ridiculously expensive, so luckily, Malibu Hotel had rooms available, and we just booked a private car to get here.
Vung Tau is pretty much on par with Sanya Bay in Hainan – lots of people and very lively. The seafood stalls are incredibly affordable because there are hardly any foreign tourists here (no Westerners, no Koreans, no Chinese). The only downside was that ordering food was a bit difficult as English communication wasn't great, so I had to rely on my phone for translation. It's definitely an affordable type of holiday destination.
The hotel is a standard Vietnamese chain five-star. The room had a small balcony with a sea view, which was generally very good. The pool isn't huge but suitable for kids, basically meeting the needs for a family vacation.
