Chen Sea Resort & Spa

“Paradise on Earth”

I went a few times to the resort. I loved it. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is mesmerizing, the massage is also amazing, and the staff does everything they can to cater to all of your needs.

I went a few times to the resort. I loved it. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is mesmerizing, the massage is also amazing, and the staff does everything they can to cater to all of your needs. It would be so long to explain why this place is amazing so instead of doing so, I will say this : I loved it so much that we organized our wedding there ! ! It was truly perfect. We feel very lucky to have chosen Chen Sea and will certainly come back periodically. A must see for sure.

We were attracted to Chen Sea Resort because the Vietnamese style villas are spacious and clean, and blend in perfectly with the surrounding gardens, woodlands and sea. We enjoyed a friendly and professional welcome and quickly settled in. Wherever we went, staff, no matter who, were friendly and polite. We stayed with our daughter and grandson in a huge two bedroom pool villa which was magnificent! The stairs are very polished so be careful not to slip if you’re only wearing socks. One other word of caution is that the hot water becomes scalding hot immediately, so turn on the cold tap first. We were very impressed with the wide range of delicious Asian and Western dishes available at the breakfast buffet and throughout the day, and as the a la carte menu was reasonably priced we enjoyed dinner at the hotel every evening after happy hour drinks in the bar. Brilliant chef!! The gardens and. pool area are beautifully designed and well tended and the beach area is kept clean. It’s enjoyable to run on the beach in the morning to burn off a few calories before breakfast. We hear that the spa is good, but unfortunately a little too expensive for our family. Overall, the resort is excellently managed and any problems are resolved quickly.

A beautiful, relaxing and private beach-lodge resort. Just 36 large lodges set amongst landscaped beach/garden. The setting is perfect for a peaceful relaxing break, well away from commercialised busy places. We found some interesting walks through the wooded area and along the beach - enough to keep occupied amongst the tranquil area. The resort staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with a wide a good selection. The restaurant menu did not suit us as vegetarian and vegan and the options were not particularly good. The general menu seemed to be a fusion with western food - we wanted authentic local cuisine. It would also be helpful to produce a single brochure, sent by WhatsApp on arrival that provided full information about the services, spa and beach activities - we only found out by chance that sailing, wind sailing instruction was on offer. I also encourage the resort to expand and promote their effort to eco-tourism which is something we increasingly look for when booking. Two things I didn’t like but no fault of the resort - either side of the private beach, the area is full of discarded rubbish and I am sure the company could support local beach-cleaning in general. Secondly, the track from the main road includes 100m with very big potholes - these were a problem for the taxis and seen as the track is mainly used by resort traffic, perhaps the holes could easily be filled with gravel to protect the taxis and motorbikes constantly serving the resort guests. Would I return? If I was coming to this part of the world and wanted to include a few days total relaxation then I would. However, I didn’t like the rest of the island which includes some strange developments/resort towns that are trying to mimic an Italian style (GranWorld) and also Long Beach area is just dirty, run down, and a result of mass tourism.

“Beautiful and luxurious boutique hotel!”

We had a very spacious oceanfront room that was beautifully and tastefully decorated. Huge bathroom including a private open-air shower, large patio including a jacuzzi (although we didn't use it). Superb breakfast buffet including cappuccinos and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the dock. Plenty of fresh seafood available. Great service! There is a spa as well. We also rented scooters just a block from the hotel entrance and they were perfect for getting around the entire northern part of the island, which is worth it! Great and large beach (although the staff must necessarily do some clean-up in the early morning--not the hotel's fault). Don't be alarmed when you first turn off the main road as it is a small, dusty road to get to the resort entrance, but once you enter, it is Shangri La:)
