Beautiful video and very detailed review of this resort. Also, I enjoyed your choice of peaceful music which matches very well with this location. Thank you. We will be arriving in VN in August from USA. How were you able to find such a reasonable rate for it?
Comes down to checking multiple sites daily. When I came across great rates I planned the rest of the trip around it. Highly doubt they’ll ever be south of $800 again though. For what I’ve been calling “Six Senses Light…” check out L’alya Ninh Van Bay. Consistently less than half the price but just as beautiful in its own way. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft Appreciate your recommendation. Definitely will look into that. We're traveling from SG to Ha Noi but stopping in Nha Trang, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Ninh Binh and possibly Sapa. Can't afford to stay in such expensive places the whole time. Our kids (all grown!) prefer rustic, but culturally rich places since it is their first trip there... "Finding their roots, so to speak!"
@@DucNguyen-sm6bc when you are in Danang, even if you are not staying there, I would go to the Intercontinental Danang for lunch just for the view. The view is one of the best in VN. Ninh Binh is cheap and amazing.
Kevin!!!! Another lovely interlude to calm my mind and enjoy the beauty of the sea and lush landscape. I can't get over those huge rounded boulders everywhere. Do you think they build around them or were they able to move them around during construction? I can't imagine a machine or crane able to maneuver around those hills to place them. Thanks again.
@@tfft looking forward to more upcoming reviews of resort&hotel in Vietnam and flight reports as well. Your reviews and comments are quite helpful, now I know where I can obtain more detailed information from when I need a getaway 😁
Many more coming! Content from Da Nang, Lang Co, Hoi An, Sapa, Quy Nhon, Phuket, BKK, NY and Samui coming in the next 2-3 months as long as Omicron doesn’t spoil some of the plans! 🙏🏻

Thank you for your honesty in reviewing the resort in Viet Nam . Can I ask how did you get the low price for this resort or any other resort in Viet Nam . We stayed in the resort next door the An Lam Villa now I believed call L'Alliya & paid $AUD 1000/per night for a 2 bedrooms beachfront villa back in 2015
Monitoring prices for sometimes hundreds of hotels or flights is part of my daily routine. Half of it is the time put in and half of it is just sheer luck and knowing where to look. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Dear Kevin, great videos ! They all contain all necessary info that we are looking for while planning our trips in similar hotel classes! We had sensational stay at Ninh Van Bay, in villa no. 9! Do you remember the villa number that you had during your stay? We want to return there soon ! Thanks and bests from Germany
Honestly I don’t know the villa numbers because they replaced it with my placard with my name 😂 Thinking back now the number 8 or 10 is feeling right haha. But I believed I mentioned in the video which ones I thought were best because they were set back from the road. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
To be honest I think it’s difficult to compare them as (maybe not now during Covid) I think they’re trying to appeal to slightly different customer bases. From my experience their strengths are- Zannier: Food program, Local inspired architecture (with extreme attention to detail), the Beach, the facilities (main pool, restaurants, lobby, etc), villas (personal preference…). Six Senses: Service (if you like high touch service), endless activities to book, Consistency, Spa, more family friendly, larger assortment of accommodations. Both: Setting, Sustainability programs I would go back to Zannier first, but only because I was there 6 weeks after they opened and I’d love to do a follow up video a year later.
Great video, very informative and well produced. Came here as we are considering Ninh Van Bay and found what I was looking for plus many more details. Will definitely subscribe to your channel and check out what else you have got.
Thanks very much! I’d suggest you take a look at the L’alya Ninh Van Bay video. Kind of like a Six Senses ‘lite’ and for the money, my choice in the area. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Hello. Where're you from? Very nice trip channel. I wondered why are there so few subscribers. According to my experience, you should research more about youtube and audience insight (ex: people like to see 1 person as a live tour guide in video) in order to spread your video to more people. Hope it helps.
Hi there, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately we had to pause postings for a while due to the lockdown in Saigon. Posting regularly is one of the (many) best way to gain consistent subscribers. That said, we will begin posting new content very soon to be able to get the channel rolling! And I am from New York but have lived in Saigon for 7 years.
Yes I’m sure some people at some point have gotten a few mosquito bites in Nha Trang lol. I didn’t find them to be that prevalent. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Didn’t have a problem at all. In general coastal VN is easy going with mosquitos and the like. At most, a few coils here and there at night (which the hotel has) and you’ll be good. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I have a drone, but between a mix of hotel policies and local laws, it's a rarity that I'm actually allowed to travel with it. This resort for example, forbids them (as do any resorts with private pools). If I was just filming in one country at a time it would be easier, but I often have 5-10 countries in one trip- so if one of those places doesn't allow drones, then I can't take it for the full trip. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Looking to stay here during a trip to vietnam this winter if they re-open to tourists. Not sure I understand how people are getting to travel there. Can you comment?
A great choice for your trip. Vietnam tourism for the most part in the past year has been completely open for citizens and residents inside the country. Vietnam is where I live :)
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Looking forward to Vietnam reopening to foreign visitors when all is safe. I saw your review of Fusion. Between the two, do you have a preference?@@tfft
Your videos have come a long way. This old one is long and thorough but as you've learned, a bit too long. Why was the price so low? What a great bargain.
I would choose Six Senses or L’alya Ninh Van Bay (very close to SS). An Lam I did not have a great experience at and Amanoi, I have never visited, but given where the property is I cannot imagine it’s worth the price (and no matter how much research I’ve done on it, I’ve not been able to convince myself it could be worth it…). If you aren’t familiar with it please check out L’alya, there’s a video on my channel for it- it’s a little less refined than SS but I prefer the setting and the service style, SS just beats them on food. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thanks very much! I build my itineraries and select my rooms using hotels.com. Then before booking I’ll see if it makes sense to instead book any of them through a credit card portal (AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts/Hotel Collection, Capital One, Chase Luxury Hotels). Then I’ll check Kayak/Agoda to see if there are any lower prices. If yes, I’ll book through hotels.com and then submit a price match. On rare occasions I’ll book with another site like Agoda if there’s some extra benefit from VIP/Genius status there. For example, next month at one hotel I’ll be at in Bali the Agoda price was $30 less than hotels.com and I could have price matched it, but the Agoda rate included a free massage. Sorry I know that’s a lot, but yeah- tbh that’s all just a small part of the time I put into choosing hotels and rates 😂. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft Hey this is one of the best answers I ever got in youtube! I really appreciate the time you took, we are big fans of your videos. Please keep on doing what you do!
Cảm ơn sự hỗ trợ của bạn! Hiện tại, tôi đang quay bằng sự kết hợp của iPhone 12PM, GoPro 9 và DJI Mini 2 (dành cho video có cảnh quay bằng máy bay không người lái).
Yes if you’re looking to make quality videos with as little extra equipment as possible- this combo is great (still fills a bag with equipment though haha).
While I was there in 2021 the menus were all tweaked a bit for Vietnamese tastes as only residents were allowed to visit at the time. All of the food I’d say was good, but nothing blew me away and I need to assume at least some of that was due to the modified menus. If you’re considering a stay I’d be sure to contact them and check out the menus ahead of time. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
To be honest I don’t know the number as they replaced it with my name, and they didn’t need the number when signing bills :) If looking at a map of the resort, it is the 2nd to last (2nd highest) hill Villa on the south side of the resort.
In Goa India you can get equally good hotel in less than 80 USD per Night. I do not understand the logic of paying even 324 USD for this. My conclusion is Value one gets far less than paid price.
I’m gonna wholeheartedly disagree with you on that one lol. There is nothing in Goa for $80 that will give you an experience anything close to one of the best Six Senses in Asia.
Inter Continental Resort in Da Nang is a much better price and service. Six Sense Ninh Van Bay price is too high over charge, and their location is isolated.
I actually did not enjoy my time at the Da Nang Sun, even with spire ambassador status at the time, ended up cutting the stay short and moved to the anantara Hoi an which was fantastic.
Don't know why I don't like it. Maybe it's somewhat like Nagaland. Maybe it's because it has a particular style of nature that don't appease me and the fact they Viets eat dog meat kind of puts me off. Same with a lot of countries or places that do so. Btw monkey initiative is good. Because eitherwise they would be a part of the breakfast
Silly to not like a resort because of one (old) cultural practice that doesn’t really exist anymore. Dog meat was never part of the culture in the central or southern parts of the country and even in the north is looked down upon now by the vast majority. A bit of tact wouldn’t hurt.
Just spectacular! This is One of many Vietnam 's best resorts! Bravo for such a nice intro.
Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching 🙏🏻
I think this is the same room i was stay in 2015; they are absolutely beautiful view of the sea. Will come back again when everything back to normal
Glad to hear and thanks for watching 🙏🏻
the climb up to the hilltop villa looks so cool! post-meal, steady state cardio lol
For sure!

What's your opinion on compare Six Sense to Zannier? To me, Zannier is the extremely best resort I've ever stay.
To be honest I think it’s difficult to compare them as (maybe not now during Covid) I think they’re trying to appeal to slightly different customer bases. From my experience their strengths are-
Zannier: Food program, Local inspired architecture (with extreme attention to detail), the Beach, the facilities (main pool, restaurants, lobby, etc), villas (personal preference…).
Six Senses: Service (if you like high touch service), endless activities to book, Consistency, Spa, more family friendly, larger assortment of accommodations.
Both: Setting, Sustainability programs

Hi sir we booked through Agoda but they are asking extra for their boat pickup and drop! They won’t provide?

Because it is isolated is the reason why people go

You telling me there ain’t no single high rise in vietnam in 2005 😂😂
I said in Nha Trang, not in the whole of Vietnam. And yes, in 2005, there were zero high rises in Nha Trang.
I bet you swim from Miaana to six senses.

It’s not worth the price! Look at Hoshinoya Kyoto! 100 times nicer!
Why would I compare Kyoto to Nha Trang...? lol
