Anantara Quy Nhon Villas

나짱에서 Vietage 열차로 이동했고요 리조트가 도심에서 떨어져 있는 바닷가라 조용하고 깨끗했어요. 거의 리조트내 식당에서만 식사했는데 모든 음식이 매우 맛있구요, 로비부터 식당, 스파등 모든 스텝이 친절했어요. 객실은 단독형 빌라라 프라이빗하고, 문열면 바로 풀이라 아침부터 저녁까지 아무때나 쉽게 사용할 수 있어서 편했고 풀은 물이 계속 흐르고 있어서 깨끗했어요. 어매니티 수준도 높았고 모든게 좋았던 여행이었어요.

We travelled to Quy Nhon on the Vietage, which I highly recommend (see separate review). From the station there was about a 30 minute car ride to the resort, where we were met by Mr Quy Nguyen, the Villa Host Supervisor, who gave us a comprehensive briefing on the resort and provided his WhatsApp number in case we needed assistance. Mr Quy and all the staff were delightful, being very keen to help and very efficient. We had an Ocean View Villa on a ledge with a view out over our infinity pool to the bay, with fishing boats moored in it. The villa was brilliant in its design, build, comfort and amenities. We enjoyed it so much that we took photos and drew plans to build our own, if we ever get the chance! The food and food service was very good, with breakfast being especially enjoyable, sitting on the terrace outside the dining room and overlooking the beach. The beach is private to the resort. Walking North beyond the private section, the beach leads to a fishing village, which is well worth visiting. I had a massage in the spar, which is another spacious, beautifully designed building, on a ledge looking out to bush land. The massage was excellent, and recommended. The resort has a range of activities and tours for guests. Unfortunately we were not there long enough to try them but rather just chilled out in our villa, walked on the beach and enjoyed the food. All very much a five star experience.

We arrived after a wonderful journey on the Vietage. About 35 mins from the city centre one drops off the main road and immediately enters a different world. So restful. It was our planned downtime between the bustle of our visits to major cities and didn't disappoint. Beach Villa 4 proved a fine location with spectacular sunrises over the adjacent island that acted as a tires alarm clock. The resort was very quiet and I assume was not close to full occupancy (and there are only 24 villas in any event) but that simply added to the sense of serenity. One has a beach and all the facilities almost to oneself as most residents rarely moved beyond their villas given how well appointed they are. All of the staff were wonderful and it is almost invidious to name people but in addition to Quy who was our Villa manager and looked after us with great care, we wanted to make special mention of Trieu who was a tremendous host at breakfast (a long and leisurely experience) and Tao who was exceptional during evening cocktails and dinner and such a joy to chat to. We made more use of the spa than we usually to and again the service / ambience was spot on although I suspect we made a poor choice when selecting the head and neck massage which was not quite the relaxing experience we were expecting. That is on us not the staff at the spa but I would suggest checking the nature of a treatment before booking it and not assuming it will be as one might find at home (UK in our case). We didn't venture far (we did use the restaurant at the adjacent resort which is more Vietnamese oriented menu wise) but if like is you want to have a relaxing block between sight seeing and touring I suggest you look no further. One warning is there are biting insects and whilst the resort is treated regularly (it had been on the day we arrived) we both got quite badly bitten on our second and third evenings despite using lots of repellant including that kindly supplied by staff)
