L'Alya Ninh Van Bay

We've had a great time at L'Alya and did not want to leave. Our butler, Quyen, is very attentive and professional. All our requests are resolved promptly & my diet preference is taken into account when she delivers sweets & snacks at 3pm daily. The breakfast is fantastic! Both Vietnamese and Continental options are really good, though we prefer the Vietnamese options more. Nested in a bay, the water here is so calm, perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling and swimming. We did enjoy the private diner and everything here, we will be back!

The hiking guide should speak better English and should not rely on me (a Vietnamese guest) to translate. While I can do so for my husband who is a foreigner, I'm here for holiday and hiking under the heat is quite exhausting to speak & translate everything back to him and to other guests. It's the guide's job to communicate to all guests in both English & Vietnamese. As others have mentioned, lunch & dinner options are much more expensive than in town while the quality is not superior, furniture also needs an upgrade as it's getting tired. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed everything here.

Amazing, clean and huge private villas designed in a very descrete way. The butler service, which can be customised, is very helpful and takes care of all your needs and questions. The facilities are all in good condition and the gym has all you need. The beach is accompanied by a beautiful pool and the tranquility is really special. The trails around the resort let you explore the beautiful nature.

Some of the restaurant‘s pricing was a bit intransparent and felt a bit random. We are vegetarians and can only review this based on the veggie menu, the food is top notch!

We spent 4 days on this gorgeous peninsula resort just north of Nha Trang. We had a beach house which which we shared with our son and his girlfriend. The beach house was beautiful, with its own pool. The bedrooms and main en-suite were spectacular with an outside shower (which I love). The outside has sun beds and an outside cabana facing straight into the beach. The rooms were fully serviced every day. The restaurant provided a good selection of Vietnamese and western dishes and the beach bar, a good selection of delicious cocktails, wines and beers. We were taken to the ‘fish farm’ in the bay where we selected fresh oysters, crabs and lobsters. They were delicious but without doubt the oysters were the stars of the show and easily the nicest we have ever eaten. Thanks to the restaurant manager and chef for accompanying us there. But of course we cannot fail to mention the beautiful Vietnamese staff, so caring , polite, humble and friendly. Too many to pick out individually, they were all fantastic. Special thanks of course to Jayce Dat, our butler who just made everything so special for us and attended to our every need. Thank you so much, we will definitely return

Nothing

Fuss free airport transfer (advanced booking required with a fair price) with a boat ride over to the peninsular. Warmly greeted upon arriving with an early check in to the lagoon villa which came with a private pool! Our Butler, Quyen was exceptional and always ready in responding to our queries. The villa itself was spacious and came well stocked with drinks, fruit platter and sweet desserts daily. Happy hour at the beach bar was really relaxing, meals prepared at the restaurant were superb. The staff of the resort were always with a smile and despite some issues with language, everything was perfect. For couples looking to be away from all the noise of the city, do consider this resort as an option!

Some of the Complimentary activities required payment which was not explained clearly.

Great Location with stunning view on the nearby nature (sea, rocks etc). Very quiet and a perfect place to relax. The villas are clean and lack of nothing. Also are the villas a very private spot, you can’t see your neighbors. Complementary activities included (like Jungle Trail or Yoga) which are nice to have to spend some time appart from „beaching“. Breakfast very good, the quality is good and you have a big variety of western food and Vietnamese cuisine.

Further activities and also the restaurant are very pricy compared to the price level of Vietnam. The prices (for the restaurant and activities) are on US / EU hotel level and the quality was not adequate for that price. Further the staff has a very poor understanding of English, what often ends up in misunderstandings (make yourself comfortable to repeat what you said many times)

an absolute incredible getaway, in a quiet secluded location. a place to relax and unwind the resort was beautiful and villa was well equipped with comfy bed, tv, full villa speakers. we had a villa up in the rocks and felt very private. the staff are lovely and go above and beyond, they have activities during the day while not the best they are free and fun, lots to explore. the breakfast was incredible with lots of options. unforgettable 4 nights of relaxation and paradise

if we’re being honest the food is very overpriced for what you get, even local food you are paying 10x the amount you would in the city, this is fine if you expect 10x the quality but it just isn’t. either better food or cheaper prices is needed. resort was very quiet when we came and seemed like often beach bar didn’t have any staff at maybe because it was quiet.

The property was beautiful and felt very much a part of the jungle it was situated in. The gardens were gorgeous and really well grown in. We loved how much private space there was and the design of the villas was timeless. The beach was really well maintained and the sea was also very clean.

The only comment I would make is that by our 3rd of our 4 night stay the private pool at our villa became a little dirty and could have done with having been cleaned on day 2.

-we loved the privacy, villa secluded in the threes -very nice privat pool -huge villa -very delicious food -organised airport transport was good with no problems

-Having a privat Buttler fussing around us was a bit to much sometimes for us, even tough he ment well -Just one stand up paddle and you have to pay 10$ per hour, thats a bit stingy

Beautiful remote location. Very very relaxing Great staff - loved our butler, Loved the food and beverage managers, chef and waiters. The welcome team etc . The team worked really hard to provide great service, especially with the gluten free food for my celiac husband. You must order the passionfruit brûlée! Best desert ever! They also bake their own delicious gluten free bread.

We did love the food in the resort, so fresh and delicious.

The property locates in the forest so might be aware of some unexpected insects
