This hotel is fully legit. Everything you see on the site that you think is an over-sell is actually for real. This is a very nice, big hotel with impressive lobbies and courteous staff everywhere. The room we booked was like a presidential suite, and borderline opulent. As Americans we felt very comfortable here. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, and frankly a highlight of the trip. There are two pools. A fun one, and the big nice one on the beach at the "beach club" that you can walk to from the hotel lobby. Yes, the beach club thing is completely for real, and right on a private beach you will have basically to yourselves. At times we felt like we were in a rap video - it was in fact that cool. The other interesting thing is that Vung Tao is a destination spot for Vietnamese tourists, not foreigners. So about 90% of the other hotel patrons were well-to-do Vietnamese people. So, if you are scared about going to a nice hotel in a foreign country and being surrounded by other foreign tourists - don't be. This hotel is authentic, upscale, and Western-friendly. We were well taken care of by genuinely courteous staff at all times, and will be coming right back here for our next trip to Vietnam.
