A great place to spend a day on the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of Nha Trang. We booked tickets through Trip.com, including mud baths and lunch. We loved everything.

A great decision to visit this place!) It's cleaner to the left of the pier, but the food 🥘 is so-so. Quick-heat meals and beer are 50% more expensive. We take everything with us in a cooler bag or on site, and we definitely buy tickets ourselves or in advance at the ticket office. We didn't take advantage of the mud baths; we were too squeamish. Don't fall for the "I have my own boat, I'll take you there for 800,000 dong" hype; the boat ticket and entrance are half the price. Departure from the Vinpearl reception.

This is a very beautiful island, with blue water and white sand. I chose the mud bath, mineral bath, and swimming pool combo for 400k VND per person. If you're going in a group, you should buy the tickets yourself (instead of letting the boat driver buy them) as you might get a "buy 5 get 1 free" offer. The shower area smelled terrible, full of urine, but the changing rooms were okay. The mineral pool was clean and clear, and there weren't many people, so you didn't have to crowd. The grounds were clean, green, and had a luxurious design.

I went on a one-island tour - 450k VND/round-trip boat ticket + entrance fee (no buffet). Advantages: Beautiful, clean beach Many attractions Food and drinks available Chairs for napping under the trees Beautiful rocky beach for photos and catching crabs and snails Free showers and locker storage (bring 200k VND cash deposit for lockers and 200k VND for towels) Large and beautiful swimming pool, including an infinity pool The Vietnamese pancakes were decent (50k VND/2 pieces). Ice cream 50-70k VND/piece. Coconut 70k VND/fruit. Disadvantages: The mud bath was quite boring, the water had only a little bit of mud color. I got bored after 10 minutes. The 110k VND mud bath fee seemed unnecessary. The pool in the mud bath area was dirty, with fallen leaves and a urine smell? - The beach was much cleaner.
