Six Senses Con Dao

非常棒的體驗

很可惜天氣不好

An incredible experience from the minute we arrived. The resort is very beautiful and our room (a duplex one bedroom villa on the beach) was understated luxury, very private and supremely comfortable. Each guest gets allocated a bike on arrival, which is great because the resort is spread out along the bay. Our room was very close to the main part of the hotel, so we didn't need them but did enjoy a few little potters to the far end of the resort and back. The food in both restaurants is top quality and the breakfast was one of the best I've ever had. There was so much choice that we found it hard to actually choose and ended up eating far more than usual. Staying here could mean simply chilling and enjoying the environment but we chose to take advantage of the various activities on offer such as 'feed the fish' golf, where you hit out into the sea using biodegradable golf balls that are filled with fish food! We also did a cooking class, which took place in one of the three kitchen gardens and did a guided jungle walk. Oh, and there was also an amazing spa where I had a wonderful massage. The staff, without exception, could not have been more friendly, helpful and welcoming. A special mention goes to Nhan, our GEM (Guest Experience Manager) who made our stay extra special and even managed to return my husbands earphones by flying them express courier over to our hotel in HCM City after he left them in the room. We are now total Six Senses fans and looking at where else in the world we can stay with them, though we'd love to go back to this hotel at some point in the future too.

Der Strand ist sehr schön. Man kann gut am Strand spazieren gehen. Es gibt einen schönen Spa Bereich mit Sauna und Dampfbad. Die Villen sind gross mit eigenem Pool. Ich hatte an meinem letzten Abend Lobster. Der war sehr lecker. Vielen Dank an Tú Nguyễn (Guest Experience Maker) für die super Betreuung.

IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING STAYING AT THIS HOTEL, BE AWARE THAT YOUR DECISION WILL IMPACT THE ENTIRE ISLAND. Unfortunately, the hotel enforces a policy that prevents the local population, fishermen, and other tourists from accessing its two private beaches. This restriction negatively impacts the local community, which relies on fishing and tourism for their livelihood. I witnessed two fishermen expressing that they were not allowed to fish or access the rocky shores of these beaches, which constitute a significant portion of the island. Over 400,000 tourists visit the island every year, and during the seven days I stayed here, I saw the hotel’s beach every day. I could count only two people using it across those seven days. What does the hotel expect to happen if all beaches are closed under similar exclusionary policies? Conversations with European tourists revealed their reluctance to recommend the island to friends due to these restrictions. If you're staying at the hotel, be aware that there are several other beaches, even more beautiful than the hotel's, that you will also be prevented from accessing. Con Dao has all the ingredients to become a standout destination: breathtaking landscapes, a rich history, and welcoming locals. Just be aware that by staying here, you are supporting and encouraging an outdated policy of restriction that harms the entire local population. Tourists don’t expect perfection, but they do expect fairness, accessibility, and respect for the natural beauty they came to enjoy.

good point great hospitality tasty food clean beach and pool need to improve limitation to the use of hot water (it depends)
