Dolphin Hotel and Apartment

We loved our 3-week stay at the Dolphin Hotel. The hotel is immaculate in every way. Our apartment was spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen, large comfortable bed and excellent attractive bathroom. We were on the 7th floor corner room with a view of the beach across the road. The two girls who shared reception duties were such a help to us, introducing us to Grab (the Uber-like taxi service) and helping us get the actual taxis to and from where we wanted to go. We spent a lot of time on the loungers alongside the rooftop pool - that area, including the relaxing area (with sauna and shower) was also kept very clean and welcoming. The hotel was close to the beach and within walking distance but we, as older people, got a Grab to the beach every day to the areas where the loungers were. The Grab cost about $NZ2 and the loungers about the same. There was bar and food service to the loungers. The breakfast at the hotel included a different Vietnamese dish every morning, eggs, bacon, omelettes, fruit juice, fruit, toast, coffee and accompaniments. The only negative I can find with the breakfast was that the juice was a made up powdery drink which is disappointing when in a country with so many varieties of pure fruit juice. However, that was a small complaint and probably personal. The price of the accommodation was really reasonable and we thoroughly recommend this hotel. Our special thanks to the staff who were really so good.

Small hotel a few blocks away from main streets. Nothing immediately at your front doors but taxi/grab rides are cheap. Rooms are nicely decorated, clean, affordable, and includes an average breakfast. This could easily be improved with more fruits and better selections. Roof top pool is small but was never busy during our stay. Laundry service was nice to have and you can drop off at the front desk. Only negative would be that the TV didn't work properly when we wanted to stay in. This is because the internet speeds are low and need improvements. Staff are excellent, kind, and helpful. We enjoyed seeing them as we left and returned from our day!
