Diamond Bay Resort
This resort is one place that puts many of these things in the one location.
Situated 20 minutes by free shuttle bus from the city centre, the Diamond Bay Resort is a strange mix of facilities and services that seems to be typical of Vietnam.
The accommodation and settings for the Diamond Bay Resort are faultless, with the white sandy beaches only a few steps away from almost 350 air-conditioned guest rooms and bungalows, some featuring unique and private outdoor showers and hot spas. The bungalows in particular a beautifully laid out, extremely comfortable, private, well appointed, and look out over the ocean
Key features of the resort include the region’s longest swimming pool, the beautiful Song Lo Spa, a golf driving range and tennis courts by the sea, and water sports such as kayaking, windsurfing, jet skiing, parasailing and fishing at a second private beach.
The buildings are set among extensive gardens, with plenty of walking tracks leading to relaxing private settings on the beach.
Work is now well underway on the much-publicised 18-hole golf course – nine holes are virtually complete and it is expected the remaining nine holes will be open late in 2011. While I didn’t get to play on the course (much disappointment), the design looks outstanding and challenging – excellent setting, tight fairways, interesting waterways and good size greens.

Reception at Diamond Bay Resort
Diamond Bay Resort is so huge and spread out that even with a reasonably high level of occupancy, it can feel a little deserted. This can be a distinct advantage if you are looking for privacy and serenity, but especially after the hustle and bustle of downtown Nha Trang or Ho Chi Minh City, it can make the resort feel as if you are a million miles away.
The Resort
Parts of the resort seem to be caught in a time warp, almost a Vietnamese “retro” style. Officially host to the 2008 Miss World competition, much of the décor is still focused on this era.
The resort also boasts a “Wonder Park” wildlife and theme park which is interesting but needs quite a lot of maintenance to bring it up to the standard of the rest of the resort.

Diamond Bay Swimming Pool
The swimming pool is the longest swimming pool you have ever seen, with barbeque areas and lounges surrounding it for your leisure
Our stay was too brief - it is a place where we will certainly return and hopefully take greater advantage of the recreation facilities…..and the golf course, when it is completedVisitors to Diamond Bay Resort have mixed reactions some like the serenity, some would like it to be more crowded. It should be remembered however, that Vietnam is a developing country and as such, the overall resort facilities are outstanding
