Introduction
Mui Ne's life as a tourism destination began when Coco Beach Resort opened back in 1994. It was a delightful spot back then and it remains a favourite today. Sadly, the standard Coco Beach set for low impact development has rarely been followed since.
Mui Ne is in a rough patch right now - tourist numbers have dropped since the collapse of the Russian market in 2014. So there are some very good deals available - especially in the more upscale resorts.
Our listing is a very small selection of what is available in Mui Ne - but we think it's the stuff you really should know about.
Mui Ne has many very mediocre developments and it's also lost half of its beach to erosion. So choose your resort carefully.
First check whether your resort has a beach. We'll tell you in our reviews. Most travel websites and many resorts are more circumspect about conveying this important detail to travellers.
When beaches have been lost, resorts have tended to build unsightly concrete sea walls to stop further erosion. They limit further erosion but I'm told they also preclude the return of any sand to rebuild the shore. They also make swimming on the beach pretty awkward.
Mui Ne's best deals are for travellers ready to spend more than $100 per night. The range of cheaper resorts is less impressive - especially alongside Vietnam's other resort destinations.
Take note that Mui Ne resort prices rise dramatically during peak periods which include Christmas and New Year, Tet (Chinese New Year), April 30 holidays and Septmeber 2nd holidays. It's probably best avoided during these times.
