Anya Premier Hotel Quy Nhon

$$$ | 44 An Duong Vuong, Quy Nhon, Vietnam

Boasting a terrific location across from the beach, Anya Premier is generally well maintained and you can feel it in their clean, modern city-hotel-style rooms. Quy Nhon is developing quickly, but its location means that nothing can be built in front blocking its view.

Pros

  • Café on ground floor
  • Infinity rooftop swimming pool
  • Great service

Cons

  • Blustery on the rooftop
  • Open concept bathroom divided by curtain
  • Rooms on the small side

Du Parc Hotel Dalat

$$$ | 15 Tran Phu, Dalat, Vietnam

Built in 1932, Du Parc pales in comparison to nearby Dalat Palace Heritage Hotel, which is under the same ownership, but it does have almost 100 years of history and a location walking distance to the lake. 

Pros

  • Near the lake and restaurants
  • Rates have dropped
  • Old-fashioned cage elevator adds charm

Cons

  • Dated rooms
  • In need of a refurb
  • Used by tour groups

Grace Boutique Resort

$$$ | 144A Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Phan Thiet, Vietnam

This family-run place is a beachfront guesthouse with a pool rather than a boutique resort per se, but you can expect a stupendously warm welcome and comfortable clean rooms. It's worth it to get a seaview room, not only for the fantastic breezy vantage over the ocean from the balcony, but also because a newer building blocks the garden rooms.

Pros

  • Beach not eroded away
  • Reasonably priced
  • Very helpful staff

Cons

  • Toward end of the main strip
  • Neighboring resort built up awkwardly close to garden rooms
  • Small pool

L'Amor Boutique Hotel

$$$ | 1H1 Nguyen Thi Dinh, Quy Nhon, Vietnam

Though not a boutique size, L'Amor certainly has a boutique-flair and character with stylish French touches such as ornate wallpaper, art, fashionable furniture, and bathrooms with contemporary finishings.

Pros

  • Ground floor café
  • Rooftop infinity pool and bar
  • Beautiful lobby and reception

Cons

  • Sea view partially obstructed by tall buildings
  • Not boutique size
  • 500 meters from the beach

Pax Ana Doc Let Resort & Spa

$$$ | Doc Let, Vietnam

A cascade of vines and the scent of lemongrass greets guests upon arrival to this serene boutique resort of elegantly understated rooms and bungalows set on a wide, regularly cleaned section of Doc Let. Favored by Vietnamese tourists, Pax Ana has a large swimming pool with a kids' splash area, bicycles, and two restaurants, though the beachside restaurant is designed for banquets, and guests may feel strange dining in such a cavernous space.

Pros

  • Plenty of beach loungers and umbrellas
  • Large pool and kids' splash pool
  • Tastefully designed rooms

Cons

  • Beachside restaurant is designed for banquets so the space can feel cavernous
  • Busy on weekends
  • No other dining options in the area

Serenity By The Sea

$$$ | 88 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Vietnam

This well-maintained, tidy property is located oceanside right in the middle of the main tourist area, and it features well-appointed, spotless rooms with firm mattresses and a sea-view swimming pool where you can watch kitesurfers flit about the bay. The staff is warm and considerate.

Pros

  • Daily housekeeping
  • Central location
  • Helpful staff

Cons

  • Like many parts of Mui Ne, their beach is gone
  • No water dispensers, only bottled water
  • Windows face inward to a courtyard, so there's no privacy when curtains are open

Whale Island Resort

$$$ | Hon Ong, Vietnam

This tranquil beachfront lodge on a 900-hectare uninhabited island in Van Phong Bay, about two hours north of Nha Trang, has basic but comfortable fan-cooled bungalows set among coconut palms. Rainbow Divers offers diving from January to October and from April to July, when whales and sharks converge in the bay to feed. Since opening in 1997, the resort has worked at preserving the local flora, fauna, and marine life, which hopefully the new ownership will continue. Room prices include breakfast and boat transfer to and from Dam Mon pier.

Pros

  • Rate includes boat transfer
  • Diving offered seasonally
  • Just enough activities to keep boredom at bay

Cons

  • No air-conditioning
  • Set meals are slightly pricey
  • Bugs and geckos are part of island life in the tropics
