"We stayed at the hotel for 9 nights in early April 2026, in a garden-view bungalow. This is one of the best places! The location is fantastic – it has its own beach, a restaurant right on the seafront, and two clean swimming pools. It's situated between Phan Thiet and Mui Ne. For dinner, we'd go to Mui Ne by scooter or taxi (around $2-3), a quick 5-minute ride. Sometimes we'd have dinner at the hotel, enjoying the wonderful sea view. Prices are higher than in the village, but you get peace and quiet! Breakfasts are good, though definitely with an Asian slant. There was always something to choose from (pastries, yogurts, omelets...). They're really great for having a proper coffee machine; the cappuccino was excellent!
By the pool, there's a bar with submerged chairs, perfect for cooling off on a hot day with a refreshing drink, taking a dip, and feeling completely refreshed from city life and daily worries. The hotel grounds aren't large, which we actually loved, but they're beautiful, lush with tropical greenery. Fish in the pond, exotic crested birds... all the joys of life. The bungalow was in excellent condition, everything clean and tidy, with daily housekeeping. On arrival, we received fruit and a beach bag. The blackout curtains were a big plus for us, and the balcony had nice furniture, perfect for sitting out in the evening and admiring the surrounding beauty. We especially loved being able to swim in the pool late in the evening when it was completely dark – it was lit up, the water was clean and warm, and no one bothered us; we could swim to our heart's content. The beach has white sand, and the sea was very warm, with small waves after lunch, which we absolutely loved playing in. I also want to mention my birthday, which I celebrated there. The staff were very welcoming; when they saw I had flowers, they immediately brought a vase, and in the evening, a small cake. Returning from the beach, we found a 'Happy Birthday' message made of tropical flowers on the bed (a small touch, but very pleasant)! We rented a beautiful gazebo for 4 hours ($10-12), which included ice cream and French fries.
The only warning I want to give is about sand fleas on the beach. They don't bite everyone. Since I've been bitten by them before (it's not my first time in Asia), they tend to find me! So, don't lie on the beach sunbeds; stick to the ones by the pool.
We highly recommend Aroma; it's a little paradise!"
