Very simple standard rooms. Lovely pool
The standard rooms are very basic. Other rooms are likely to be much more comfortable. The pool and location on the beach are great. Breakfast is ok.

Rundown resort
This property may have started as a 3 star resort by Vietnamese standard but it has since deteriorated to a run down poorly maintained 2 star hotel. We got the best rooms of the hotels but they still disappoint. The bathroom is disgusting with a public toilet looking toilet. There is a coconut sticking in the toilet but it is infested with maggots. There are people partying late to midnight. The beach is strewn with trash. Service is ok, staff are responsive. Restaurant is decent and breakfast is average. We ordered lunch from here and it is surprisingly good. Overall, book if you must, otherwise, find better maintained places
Improperly installed faucets  in all 5 rooms we booked
Nasty toilet sitting next to an infested coconut tree

Terrible! Stay away from this hotel!!!!
Where to start? I booked a bungalow beach front. Swiming pool area: - sunbed are all broken - sunbed mattres were never been removed during the night or during rain. They are extremely dirty. People eat and drink some spirit on it. They are sticky and full of mushrooms (humidity) - dirty towels never been removed from sunbed Beach area - actually no more, which not hotel fault - extremely dirty never been cleaned! A garbage area. (See pictures) fishing nets, shoes, platics bottle, broken glasses, extremely dangerous to walk on the sand without shoes. Room - dirty room dust on fans and wardrobes - NO HOT WATER! In the shower. Restaurant - breakfast!!! OMG, can you cover at least with some nets over your buffer plates. Fruits amd bread full of flies and ants. Motorbike for rent - extremly bad maintenance Why I have checked out after the first night here the main reason: - around 10pm 4 vietnameses guys around 35-40 years checked in and booked 2 bungalow next to mine. They started acting like degenerate kids around the swimming pool. They started to swim, shouting, even bring a guitar for singing karaoke right in front of my door till 1 am. I was supprised that no security or the owner stopped them. At 5.30am I was supprised to see the same guys sitting on my terrasse and shouting and drinking coffee. Staff didnt move a fingers. Then they took my terrasse furnitures away and continue tO be extremly noisy. NEVER AGAIN IN THAT ABANDONNED HOTEL

The experience here was very welcoming. I’m from Canada and my girlfriend is from Vietnam. We didn’t have any issues. Hotel staff was super nice. Breakfast was average. No complaints here. My first time here in Mui and, everything closes around 10pm just a heads up.

Lovely resort, the food was always delicious and the pool is bigger than it looks! Breakfast was sometimes amazing and other times basic, a bit unpredictable. And the website says you get a discount at the neighbouring water sports company, which is not true. The staff are all lovely and helpful

Nice place to stay at
Nice place We booked a room with an extra bed that we did not use I think it was good as then we got a bigger room The others seem to be small I liked the breakfast especially as I could get fried eggs or omelette Everything seem to be clean and nice We could rent a scooter say the hotel. Which is important to have unless you have own transportation Pleasant staff And nice pool Only thing I world remark on Is the hot water The water was never properly hot in the shower

You get what you pay for
Well... You get what you pay for. It's the cheapest place on the beach Mui Me. The pool area is ok, but can get over run with kids, which renders the beach view bungalows terrible. Not a problem on week days but breakfast takes a bit in options. The facilities are a little run down and if your door works your toilet leaks, or vice versa. That being said we booked 2 extra nights so it couldnt have been that bad.

Mui Ne Ananda beach resort
Good value/location for the price. Not as fancy as other resorts nearby but we had a good time and kept within out budget. Private cabins with thatch roofs under palm trees, small pool and private beach area was nice. Cost included free breakfast. Mix of local and western food. Cons: There was sewer smell in bathroom because plumbing was not done correct and the front desk person wasn’t very friendly.

Not 3 star , go elsewhere.
Booked a garden view room to find the view was a brick wall out of a very small window. Bed as hard a rock , bathroom decrepid and very much in need of repair. Looks like the sort of room I stayed in for $1 a day when backpacking in the 80s plus TV and noisy AC.Complained and offered an upgrade at twice the price. Went down the road and found a 4star for less than the upgrade price. Moved the next day, refund declined.

Nice stay at Ananda Resort
Very nice, peaceful beachfront resort. Staff very welcoming and always smiling. The breakfast that was included had a good variety of items, Vietnamese and western selection; omlette/egg station included. Had a beachfront room which was nice. For those who say there’s a musty smell, yes there is until you get the AC going. It is a beach resort after all so the humidity is high and the AC is not left running if the room is not occupied. Bed was a bit on the hard side but thats the norm in Vietnam. We were comfortable and enjoyed our room. One thing to note, the beach in fromtmof the resort and neighboring ones, are quite eroded right now and efforts are in place to prevent more erosion.

The resort was a little more rustic than I expected but still lovely. I was in an economy room - there were no frills. The room was basic. There was no shower or tub, the shower head was in the bathroom. The service was impeccable and good free breakfast!

Friendly Staff and Solid Beach
Great location with a decent beach for the area. Not many hotels have a good beach left. Food was good. Won't blow you away but was just fine. Only complaint would be the outdoor showers. We knew about them when we booked but it made us realize it's just not our thing anymore. Lots of mosquitoes back there.

Can't praise it enough
The best accommodation on the beach in the best position. The staff were all amazing and we're very curteous.,They couldn't do enough for you. A huge thank you to them all. We had an amazing time and can't wait to return. Have told some friends who are going in June and they will probably book some time here. The accommodation was always fully booked and customers who had only booked for a few days were desperate to try to extend their stay. Can't praise this place enough. Stunning gardens in a stunning location. Please add it to your "must visit" place. sorry no photos on my phone to upload as all on camera but the pictures online don't do it any justice.

Great location and reasonable price. Needs a better breakfast and service but the staff were friendly enough you and you get reasonable value for amount you pay. (cost us just over 1 million VND a night after discounts). Smaller than I expected. Nice chairs outside rooms.

Charming bungalow
Ananda has prime position right on the beachfront and is a charming hotel made up of several separate bungalows. The swimming pool is pretty chilly and the beach has quite a lot of rips so I didn't go swimming, however if you're keen to try out kite surfing it's a great location to do it. The breakfast is served beachfront and has a reasonable selection of ok food. Definitely order the omlette as that was delicious. The room is a good size and has an open shower. There are a few ants in the bathroom and our toilet was broken, however we aren't too fussy - I just thought it was worth mentioning. Service is great and they organised a tour for us to the sand dunes and fairy stream. Try to get an hour at fairy stream as we ran out of time. You can also ride ostriches at fairy stream if this is what interests you. Overall this is a charming little hotel and is priced reasonably for what you get

Nice hotel by the beach
Recently renovated hotel, spotless rooms with attention to detail. The owners try to meet their customers needs and make continuous improvements to hotel. The beach outside the hotel is lovely and they have provide plenty of beach chairs for their customers. The breakfast is nice but not spectacular. The food is also nice. The main improvement would be to make the place More happening in the evenings.

Lovely and very relaxing
Lovely and very relaxing. The room is clean and the bed is very comfortable. Spacious bathroom too. House keeping is quite late. They do it around 1-2PM. The pool is a little small but it's never crowded since most guests prefer the beach. The beach front is clean and well kept. Breakfast is very limited but enough to get you going for the day. Restaurant is very good but the service is a little slow. Location is very strategic. A lot of convenient stores, spas and restaurants. Taxis are plenty too. Will I check-in to this resort? Definitely!

Nice villas on the best part of the beach
Great value for nice villas and a smallish infinity pool on the best section of a great walking/running/swimming/kiting section of Mui Ne beach. Fanily friendly, good breakfast was included. We were upgraded to the largest villa without asking when ours was not available upon arrival. There are some mosquitoes here and no gym but an expansive beach to do whatever Take advantage of the 4 hr Jeep tour of all the main sites at the front desk.

Not bad, but very overpriced
For half the price you can stay at a dozen other places of similar quality. Not a bad place, but considering the price I was expecting much more. The pool is tiny and breakfast is lacking in effort. The bungalows are nice, but they are squeezed close together. Avoid the "sea view" rooms as they open right onto the pool deck, so people on the sun beds are literally 10 feet from your door.
Response from Laurent on 7 Mar 2015
"Thanks for your review. We strive to be price competitive and if you want to stay on the beach (and not on the other side of the road without beach access) in Mui Ne, we can't think of any better-priced option. We have in fact a relatively low density of our bungalows, lots of space for the tropical garden may give a different ""feel"" for it. We still hope that you have enjoyed your stay with us and wish you all the best from Mui Ne! "

Best Deal in Mui Ne
My girlfriend and I just had a four night stay here (in late-August, which is supposedly the "off season") in one of the four beachfront bungalows. Firstly, let me begin by stating that the staff here is fantastic. So kind, helpful, courteous, and good at what they do. Everyone spoke very good English and everything came with a smile. What makes this an ever sweeter deal is that we got curious and checked around the neighboring resorts for their prices. There is NOTHING in this area that competes with Ananda's prices. Yes, it is a bit smaller than some of the others and maybe doesn't have so many bells and whistles, but we were so absolutely blown away by what they did offer that it didn't even matter. The breakfast buffet was really delicious and had enough options that you didn't get sick of it after a few days. Lunch/dinner prices are also very comparable to the vast majority of neighboring restaurants. There are plenty of Vietnamese options as well as sandwiches and other more western foods. Decent beer prices and fresh coconuts too! The room itself was great for us. Very large, really good AC, and a huge bathroom. Bed and bedding weren't anything incredible but were still nice. Our room included a mosquito net. One small complaint, albeit it very small, is that the thatched roof leaked a little while we were sleeping. I'm sure this just comes with the nature of staying in a bungalow. Some geckos and mosquitos made an appearance but, again, I think that comes with the territory. Luckily this is not a malaria area, so we were not overly concerned. Waking up every morning and opening the curtains to a beautiful view of the infinity pool, palm trees, beach, and ocean made it all worthwhile. Absolutely worth every penny!

Great resort shame about the beach.
The hotel, rooms, pool, garden and staff were all fantastic and it's in a great location special mention for Han in the restaurant who was really lovely and looked after us so well. Only down side here was the rubbish on the beach which seems to wash in from the sea but which no one bothers to clear up it's such a shame as if the beach was cleand up this place would be better than Nah Trang.
