Chez Carole Beach Resort & Spa

Мы не ожидали,что нам так понравится отель!!!атмосфера полного релакса и тишины! Море и пляж чистые, полотенца всегда есть. Тенечек от деревьев тоже есть!!! Каяки на закате это бомба! Все соответствует фото!)

卡羅爾海灘渡假村有私人的海灘, 適合喜歡寧靜及游泳的人渡假村的位置距離富國大世界只有幾公里遠,渡假村有提供出租機車.早餐很好,缺點是拖行李到房間路面不平,而且有一段距離,來住的人別帶太多行李

度假村環境不錯～ 有私人沙灘🏖️ 適合喜歡安靜的朋友…… 歐洲人韓國人居多…… 就是前台服務有點跟不上，讓人鬱悶…… 入住的時候有人幫忙拿行李， 走的時候就沒人管了…… 給我安排的山上路不好走唉…… 還好行李不夠多，不然一個人沒法拿下山路…… 服務態度跟上的話就完美了……

It is private beach and very quiet beach but also it is in the middle of no where. Far from the town. We have to rent motorbikes at the hotel. But so far, I like it there. I would recommend it if you like quiet. The room is clean. The water not hot enough for a bathtub.

To summarize "Chez Carole" failed to impress me. I stayed 6 days early November. As mentioned by other reviewers there is a lot of potential but... The beach and the tranquility are definitely a plus. The beach is nothing extraordinary but it is ideal if you just want to relax and enjoy "farniente". However there long chairs are far from comfortable. Plain hard and heavy wood (or good imitation) with nothing on top to soften the contact ;-) There are a couple of "kayaks" and 2 "surf" boards to use for free. What I missed most in the hotel was facing caring and welcoming employees. There was no hello, no good morning (except at the restaurant for breakfast and even there not always) or good day. Mostly no eye contact. With very very few exceptions the staff was distant, not welcoming and, well, not helping really. John the manager does his job professionally but I missed a deeper contact. Chinh in charge of the egg station (very good omelets) and pho was great and fun and helpful. So was Thienh (?) in the kitchen cooking wonderful plates with fish for me every night. A bright smile. A desire to please guests. Genuinely. I loved that ... and of course the food he prepared. Tâm in the restaurant was also very professional and helpful. These guys helped me feel better at the resort. Hospitality throughout Vietnam is absolutely great so my experience "chez Carole" surprised me quite a bit. Overall the resort feels old and just maintained to survive. Dull in my opinion but, agreed, this is very personal. Also it is obviously in a remote place. It is some 2 or 3 Km walk/drive to the closest village therefore renting a motorbike or using Grab (or just asking the hotel for taxi) can be something to consider. Btw the closest Vinbus (free electric buses throughout the island, running every 15 minutes or so) stop is roughly 4 Km from the resort. I booked one of the cheapest rooms. Spacious with a desk, a good sized fridge, a locker and an efficient air conditioning system. Weird enough the fridge would only work with the key in the key holder. So taking the key with you would shut down power (electricity) for all devices, including the fridge. Not ideal to keep anything cool in the fridge when leaving for the day... The breakfast was nothing exceptional I found, especially for guests suffering from food "incompatibilities" (in my case "sugary" items because of diabetes due to surgery). For "normal" people the spread was quite good with a large sweet section (breads, cakes, fruits). Unless you really want it quiet, secluded, next to a beach and with an affinity for more "traditional" housing architecture resp. feeling with an interesting pricing, you may want to also consider other options.

I was gladly amazed with this hotel! The value price/quality is beyond worthy.... Excellent location, right in front of the beach, super comfortable bungalows, nice terrace, elegant swimming pool. Tasty breakfast and the most kind and warm service from the staff, specially the manager who helped me to arrange chófer, activities and tours.
