Binh An Village is a great place to escape the commotion of the city and relax near the sea. We stayed in the room that has the outdoor bathroom, which felt like bathing in a rainforest during our stay in the rainy season. Vung Tau is like a second home to us, and Bing An offers us a different environment than we get in the Front Beach area. The location is far enough from Front Beach to be quiet, but close enough were you can still get to places in a short motorbike ride. They have 2 pools, one that’s fed by the sea and is saltwater, the other is a freshwater pool. We enjoyed the freshwater pool and rarely saw other guests. There didn’t seem to be a lot of other people around the property in general, and the staff was good about keeping the restaurant guests out of the hotel area. The ocean was rough during our stay in August due to monsoon storms, but during the winter it’s calmer and clearer. The grounds are well kept and have a lot of flowers and nicely manicured gardens. It’s a relaxing environment to hang out and watch the boats. The staff was friendly and helped us with all our needs. They promptly fixed the malfunctioning air conditioner in our room. Being so close to the mountain and jungle, there were some creatures in our room like millipedes, but that’s expected in that type of environment so close to nature. We ate at the restaurant a few times and the quality was good. The menu prices are a bit high, even for American standards, but I expect that at any seaside resort. The service is prompt and the view is excellent. I enjoy watching the ships and local fishing boats going by. The restaurant gets busy during weekend days. Binh An Village has a small amount of boutique rooms offering guests a natural seaside environment that’s not overcrowded with weekend travelers from Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a pleasant place to stay if you’re looking for something more unique.

“Almost perfect except...”

I completely fell in love with this boutique resort the moment I checked in since it has only 9 rooms & rooms are divided into 2 areas in a large land right next to the ocean, so I thought I’d have the quietness for myself (as the resort name itself Binh An in Vietnamese means peaceful).

I completely fell in love with this boutique resort the moment I checked in since it has only 9 rooms & rooms are divided into 2 areas in a large land right next to the ocean, so I thought I’d have the quietness for myself (as the resort name itself Binh An in Vietnamese means peaceful). And yes, the 1st day was great as what I expected & paid for (the room rate is high compared to other luxury 5* hotels in Vung Tau city over weekend). I had lunch & dinner inside the resort since didn’t feel like going to town & though the F&B menu is limited but Im okay with it since I don’t consume much food & I only have espresso coffee & water as beverage. But the next morning till my check out time was really noisy with bunches of outside guests came for breakfast & cafe. They run around, shouting each other, smoking everywhere they can, entering the private area that supposedly served for in house guests. None of the staffs asked the outside guests to keep the place quiet & clean & respect in house guests privacy. I really felt bad for such beautiful place, although their staffs are so nice & caring, but somewhat I hope the training must be more proper so the resort can keep in house guests.
