Mui Ne Beach Escapade 8-9 Aug 2009 ~ Day 1 Part 3

After the tour, we went back to our room and took a quick bath before proceeding for our BBQ dinner at our resort to celebrate our 1 year anniversary.

Seahorse Resort & Spa in the evening Guess which floor we stayed at? Hahaha... =) Getting ready to party...
It’s in a lush garden setting! Nice and romantic feel… but the food and service is only 5.5 out of 10! On the voucher, it was stated that the dinner starts from 630pm to 930pm. We reached there at 715pm. Guess what? By 820pm, the chefs and servers started clearing the food and buffet tables! Wakaoz…just because MOST people had taken their share. One of the servers still countered us (he came to get some feedback from us during our breakfast the next day) that we came late and most of the Vietnamese guests came at 6pm! Hmm…Singaporeans are not that kiasu after all!

Overall, I would still recommend this hotel for its stylish beachfront resort, good-sized room with a balcony and open-style bathroom, picturesque beach, nice swimming pool and pool bar, where refreshing array of cocktails and tasty snacks are served. Nice spread of buffet breakfast. Service at restaurants can be improved though. Front desk service is good.

We went for a stroll along the streets. Mainly only restaurants and massage parlours operating. Saw some hotels along the way. Other hotels that I may want to try next will be Terracotta, L' Anmien Mui Ne Resort & Spa (expensive) and Coco Beach (good reviews on this but it's staying in a hut).


Darling and I, not very satisfied with the dinner, went for another round of gastronomy experience. Bought an ice cream for 20,000D at the Gecko. Then we proceeded to one of the recommend restaurants in my list, the Luna d’Autunno is an Italian restaurant. The menu includes fresh pasta, great salads and fine pizzas from a wood-fired oven. There is also an extensive wine list. We had a pizza Salame, a Tiger beer and a set meal that included a pasta Vongole, a tiramisu and a soft drink. Pizza wasn’t as nice as the one we had in Phuket. The Italian Restaurant David in Vung Tau taste better. Or maybe we were already not that hungry...
