Sonata Resort & Spa

We got an upgraded room on arrival. Service was professional and friendly. They had a shuttle to the main town of Phan Thiet, a private beach and a good selection of food in their restaurant. Bao at reception was kind enough to arrange a local tour for us and all the staff members were friendly and helpful. We stayed 8 nights. The climate in this part of Southern Vietnam is good all year round.

The breakfast buffet had very limited options, and the food was not tasty or served hot. I came for breakfast at 8:00 a.m., but almost all the food was already gone. The soup were nearly empty as well. I had lunch at their restautant and The restaurant staff were rude when they told me to move aside so other guests could come in. In details, I was sitting at an empty table, but instead of politely asking for my support to make space for new guests, they rudely told me to move aside.

Pros: A fantastic Oasis that is more beautiful in reality than in the pictures. We are a family of 6, who had a villa. The whole hotel and the area are an aesthetic experience. We have been a lot and traveled, but this is probably among the most beautiful hotels I have been to. The food at the hotel was absolutely ok, the beach was clean and pretty around the hotel, but there is a LOT of garbage in the area outside the hotel area. It was a bit windy while we were there, but there were not very big waves. However, there were a lot of currents in the water, but skilled lifeguards guided us to where to swim. The price level at the hotel is also absolutely ok. I can't think of a better place to relax and recharge the "batteries". The shuttle bus is a great offer, you get around a bit and get to see and eat a bit in other places (Phan Thiet) and is also free. The staff are really friendly and try their best to assist you. (may be a bit of a language challenge) Cons: Located a bit "far" from everything else. There is little to do after 6pm except eat and after 10pm everything is closed. The staff have a bit poor English skills, but there are definitely exceptions among the staff. A lot of trash (plastic) outside the hotel area (not the hotel's fault as their areas are absolutely perfect, but it would have helped the overall impression) this is because you don't have to walk many steps outside before there is a lot of trash

The resort has good facilities, and the staff is generally kind and polite. However, several important aspects are poorly managed and negatively affect the overall experience. One major issue is the sun loungers. Many guests leave towels on them very early in the morning to reserve them and then do not return until midday. This behavior should be clearly prohibited, as it prevents other guests from using the facilities. The restaurant food is far below expectations. The dishes are bland, poorly prepared, and not at the level one would expect from a resort. Some items on the menu are clearly not well executed. For example, we ordered Tom Yum and received a tasteless soup with poorly cleaned shrimp, which was very disappointing. The bicycle service is also misleading. Bikes can only be used inside the resort, but the property is not suitable for cycling due to stairs, bridges, and stone paths. It would be better not to offer this service at all. Finally, the shuttle service to Phan Thiet is very disorganized. There is no respect for order of arrival, and staff do not intervene to manage the situation properly. Overall, this place is far from offering a premium experience. It feels more like a low-category resort designed for guests with little respect for basic rules of coexistence. I would not return and would not recommend it unless you are prepared to deal with poor organization and a lack of basic courtesy.

Great destination for beach lovers with a beautiful garden and lovely pool. The service‘s totally great. Rooms are nice, clean and cozy.

We were really excited to come here after reading the reviews of fantastic food etc. Our welcome was nothing but short and cold, you did get a welcome drink on arrival however mine was taken away mid drink. Check in was rushed, there was no explanation as to where things where in the resort, no times of the pool, gym, tennis or spa given, or if there was any themed food nights or entertainment. Our room was BEAUTIFUL! Nothing to complain about other than the potential of having dressing gowns for that extra touch, but honestly the bedroom was one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Loved the fruit basket on arrival in the room. Now the food. Food is huge thing when you’re travelling especially for 9 weeks. And I have never felt so disheartened with the food here, one of the sole reasons why we booked this hotel. The first night we asked if the ribs came with rice and it got lost in translation so ordered garlic rice on the side…of course it came with rice. So the second night I ordered the grilled prawns expecting rice, but no rice came. Even though we asked. Our fresh Vietnamese rolls came as we were finishing our dinner, ideally this should come all together and the waitress tried to take our food away whilst we were still eating. There was a lot of Russian guests staying, who would bring in take away food and sit in the prime restaurant seats by the pond to eat. For me these tables should be reserved for paying guests at the restaurant. In the mornings there was a severe lack of sunbeds around the pool, people reserving beds but not using them. The gym..is not suitable, incredibly small range of weights with a wobbly weights bench. I feel like this hotel has so much potential to be fantastic, however the management and service truly let this hotel down (massively). We have now checked out and staying in a different resort not too far away and believe me, I wish we had came here the entire time instead of Sonata.

Wonderful hotel. Very beautiful place. Delicious food. Very welcoming and helpful staff. I really liked everything. I want to come here again.

Awesome place to stay, staff are friendly and helpful, exceeds expectations. Definitely returning and recommended to anyone

The resort is amazing and beyond beautiful. The staff were also excellent they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and everything was very clean.

One of the best and we have been to many 5 stars places around the world!

We stayed here after a business trip to Ho Chi Minh to relax and that is exactly what it was. Relaxation! Super nice ambience and great friendly staff. They have service shuttles available to most places in the region and we really enjoyed our stay here! Recommended

The best place ever to start your journey with Vietnam. Friendly professional administration, beautiful landscape and architecture of the Resort, filled with music and calm relaxing points where You can find a rest for your soul and body! Exceptional quality and kindness In each and every question. Thank You very much!

I loved the entire experience and wish I could have stayed longer than the 2 days. Certainly planning on returning and staying longer when I do. The staff was lovely and the food was amazing. Loved the ice coffees by the pool! The breakfast buffet in particular was amazing! The fresh fruits and vegetables were beyond delicious. Would love to see more protein options for the vegetarians (fake meat etc). The non vegetarians had a huge variety of meat, fish, eggs, and other dishes to choose from.

The resort is beautiful and was a wonderful location for friends' wedding. It's a calming place, has a pool and of course the ocean. We stayed in one of the villas and found it really comfortable. The reception and staff are very helpful. They helped us organize a day trip for our group and made a lot of arrangements on short notice. It can get really hot, so it was nice to just have some places to cool off, like at the bar. The food is great, but if you travel around Vietnam, you'll see that the options here are limited. However you will be really happy if you love seafood. I highly recommend a getaway here.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sonata Resort. Especially the staff is super friendly and the garden area is awesome. The pool temperature is super comfortable and the beach is empty, clean and silent. The restaurant is good, we'd luke to have a bit more choices for the breakfast buffet.

Beautiful property. A very relaxing stay here. Unfortunately, not specific to this property but the entire area is full of garbage including plastic in the water & on the beaches. Very sad. This area is growing and has incredible potential for a relaxing family beach vacation! The priority here should be cleaning up the garbage.the staff here we noticed were picking up garbage from the resort beach. Despite this we had an amazing time here!!

We’re have s lot of fun . It’s fantastic vacation . Thanks Sonata. we will return it again. It has nice garden view, pool and beach views. Good services!!! Toi rat thich. Co le toi se dat ban nuoc ngoai cua toi ve day choi. Toi chac rang ban toi se thich

Attentive staff, sophisticated service, beautiful and very well organized. Food was great and the beach was super clean with lifeguard all the time. Suitable for every trip purposes. Would highly recommend this resort for anyone who want a quick get away from hcmc

What a wonderful place to stay. We are spending 2/3 weeks travelling in southern Vietnam, we booked to stay 4 nights at the Sonata resort, and we loved it. We had a warm welcome when we arrived from the reception, our room was super clean with a bowl of fruit for us to enjoy during our stay. The gardens and the pool were absolutely beautiful, but most of all it was the staff within the resort who were so kind and attentive. Our stay was over the Vietnamese New Year celebrations, and guests were invited to join in with making traditional food parcels and other activities, which was so much fun, and must have been a lot of work for everyone. On New Year's Day, the general manager Pham Quang Hau, gave everyone a half bottle of wine to celebrate. In the restaurant, Nguyen Dinh Thi and his team were fabulous, though we mostly ate on the terrace facing the garden and sea.

Best experience. We felt absolutely relaxed and at home. The staff were friendly. All services and some more were included in our package, which was reasonably priced.The weather was to harsh to swim in the sea but we made do with the serene pool. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Spent 4 wonderful nights here. Beautiful sandy beach for long walks, palm trees, no crowds. It is a full service resort with pool (and pool bar!), spa, gym, restaurant, and lots of space to walk around. Very attentive staff, and lots of groundskeepers doing work to keep all the trees and flowers beautiful. There is one restaurant on site, which is has a pretty wide selection (which is good because there really isn’t anything else within walking distance. On a couple occasions we had some issues with language (servers just nodding and going away without understanding our order, instead of waiting while we used Google Translate), but that was minor. We had one unpleasant interaction with a staff member, but the manager was extremely attentive and sorted it out immediately. Overall, it was a great place to relax, walk on the beach, read novels, and have a cocktail or two.

Pretty nice area overall, quiet and great atmosphere. Room is relatively new and has all the amenities you need. Garden space has great design and is the spot to chill at night. Customer service was amazing and very helpful. Pool and beach area is also great and the staff attending it are very nice as well

The resort is very airy, with lots of coconuts. Enthusiastic and cute staff. Sonata has a very delicious breakfast buffet, delicious and filling. Currently, there is Dau Giay and Phan Thiet highway, so the way to the resort is also more convenient, shortening the time a lot. Liked this place very much. Will come back if there is a chance

Kì nghỉ tuyệt vời, từ cây xanh, bờ biển đến phòng ốc. Nhân viên lịch sự, thân thiện. Sẽ quay lại

A tropical oasis, suitable place to escape from the noise and dust of the city. We had a very relaxing trip, the staff were always welcoming and responsive to all needs

Very beautiful resort with green garden and large swimming pool. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The food is delicious. We will come back next time

Đã đi và quay lại nơi này rất nhiều lần. Sau nhiều năm dịch vụ thay đổi rất tốt, đạt chuẩn 4sao. Con người nơi này thân thiện, đồ ăn ngon, cảnh quan thiên nhiên đẹp tươi mát. Đặc biệt giá thấp hơn so với các ressort lân cận. Tuyệt!

Super

When we check in the staff didnt come with us and show us where the room is. The room dont have the list of items. After that when we check out they said they lost the dish in room , but when we come in doesn't have any dish in the kitchen.

No gym, we been the only people at hotell first day good breakfast. Than bad for every day.

離市中心太遠,很不方便。早餐選擇小，房租貴，缺乏吸引力。
