"We stayed at Ana Mandara Resort with my mother for a few days. Unfortunately, although the resort is advertised as a five-star property, it did not meet our expectations. Overall, I would personally rate it closer to four stars.
Our check-in was strictly at 3:00 p.m., which wasn’t a problem, but our first impression of the room was underwhelming. We booked a Garden View room, and while it was comfortable and clean, it didn’t feel worth the price. My advice is to spend a little more and book a room with a better view, as it will make your stay much more enjoyable. The resort itself is very green and well-maintained, but it’s much smaller than it appears in the promotional photos.
There is one main swimming pool, but it was always full of children, making it difficult to relax. When I entered the pool, I also noticed an unpleasant smell, so we decided not to swim there. We ordered drinks at the beach bar, but the service was quite slow—they even forgot about my coconut, and I had to remind the staff about my order.
The beach is beautiful, and it’s easy to take stunning photos there. However, in the afternoon and evening it becomes very crowded, and finding an available sunbed is difficult unless you reserve one in advance. Personally, I don’t think guests at a five-star resort should have to reserve beach beds just to have somewhere to relax. We also noticed that some of the beach mattresses had visible stains, and a few of the towels looked old and slightly yellow, which was disappointing.
Our first day was honestly frustrating, and I felt that the resort did not justify its price. Thankfully, I contacted the manager, who handled the situation professionally. He arranged reserved beach beds for us every day, made sure we received clean towels, and genuinely tried to improve our experience. We also decided to upgrade our room to one with a better view, which made our stay much more enjoyable. I truly appreciate the manager’s efforts because he really turned the experience around.
One thing to keep in mind is the location. Cam Ranh is quite far from Nha Trang city—about a 35-40 minute taxi ride each way. While there are a few local seafood restaurants nearby, you’ll need to budget for transportation if you plan to visit Nha Trang or its attractions. Cam Ranh itself is still developing, and there is a lot of construction along the coastline.
Overall, while we enjoyed the beautiful beach and appreciated the excellent service from the manager, I don’t feel the resort offers good value for the price. If you’re considering staying here, I would recommend booking a room with a sea view and being prepared for the extra costs and the resort’s location. For us, it simply wasn’t the five-star experience we were expecting."
