Phu Hai Resort is a beautiful but secluded resort. We had a villa and it was beautiful. I especially loved the outdoor bamboo shower!

It is a short distance from both the Mui Ne strip and Phan Thiet city so taxis are required if you wish to leave the grounds. And if you get the reception staff to call for you, you will wait a good 20 mins before a taxi arrives. Better if you just walk out the the gates of the resort and find a whole bunch of them sitting there waiting.

I wouldn't recommend more than a few days stay there as I got bored as there is limited stuff to do.

The staff aren't that great and were pretty rude to my parents when they came to visit. (they assumed my parents were locals & not not foreigners and blasted across their Walkie talkies for the staff to keep an eye on them!)

All in all, the place is perfect if you want to kick back & relax but if you want to do things & see places I'd go elsewhere!

This resort really surprised me, i never been to Vietnam before and did see this resort on the internet from Denmark. It has everything you need for a family vacation, very big pool, very Nice and big bungalows/ villas by the sea. Very good restaurant and cheap prices compared to the quality. We stayed in a villa 1. Sea row, biggest bathroom ever, 2 big beds and very big buffet breakfeast every morning even though it was low season. Only negative thing: you need a taxi to go anywhere, but 2 first days you just need to enjoy the resort and it's facilities. We stayed there 6 nights with our 2 children age 5 and 7. We payed about 750 kr. Pr. Night 4 people incl. Breakfeast, villa about 70 square meteres.

Our family group stayed for a 2nd time at Phu Hai Resort in November for 1 week, and how reassuring to see that some things don't change! Resort was as peaceful, well-manicured, and comfortable as it was 5 years ago.

We shared a 4 person bungalow (1 bedroom downstairs, 1 upstairs - each with private bathroom, and 3 separate A/C units worked well) with direct sea view, and the only sounds we heard (day & night) were the breaking waves. The staff addressed immediately our small concerns when A/C stopped working or light bulb needed replacing, and there is a silent army of groundskeepers who sweep the beaches and resort grounds each morning to remove the smallest fallen twig or leaf. True - power did cut out now & again, usually for no more than 10-20 seconds -- but we witnessed the same thing when we stopped in for dessert at the 5 star "Anantara Mui Ne Resort." So, power outages are not unique to Phu Hai.

The resort is now more "Russian friendly" than it was 5 years ago, with menu items now printed in Russian (along with English, German). And there were a good number of Russian couples and families staying there in November, but all were well behaved -- no drunkenness, screaming kids, or excessive cell phoning in the public areas of the resort.

Breakfast (included) does become a little mundane after 1 week. No fresh juices, and no variation in anything on the buffet: omelettes, blini, cut fruit, Vietnamese soup, and simple bread & rolls each morning. But passable. And we stayed "in" for dining during 3 nights at Phu Hai, and never tired of the Vietnamese fish, noodles, and soup selections. (There are European selections, too; we just never tried them.) Not spectacular, but adequate and well priced. The other nights, we went into the Mui Ne village - about $2 taxi each way.

As for the unlucky MBA group who had theft problems, we had cell phones, an i-Pad, and two laptop computers with us. No theft issues. We found the grounds were discreetly and regularly patrolled by staff, maybe in response to their laptop thefts. At any rate, I don't think crime is a regular concern at Phu Hai. All in all, a very peaceful beach resort.

“Beautiful hotel ...wonderful service”
Stayed here for three nights at the end of a tour of Vietnam. A great place to unwind and beautifully laid out. The hotel was quite busy yet it never felt crowded. Staff were universally attentive. My wfe and I simply loved it.
