Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort

We had a very enjoyable stay at Meliá Ho Tram and are already planning our next visit. The resort is beautiful, spacious and surrounded by lush greenery. The landscaping is very well maintained, with plenty of trees providing ample shade and making the entire resort look incredibly picturesque. What we particularly loved was the sheer size of the property. The resort spans a huge area, giving it a wonderful sense of openness without ever feeling cramped or claustrophobic. There is plenty of space to stroll around and enjoy the surroundings at a leisurely pace. Rental bicycles are also available, which is a lovely way to explore the resort and enjoy a relaxing cycle through the greenery. The swimming pool is huge and never felt overcrowded during our stay. The beachfront is amazingly wide, creating an impressive view and adding to the overall spaciousness of the resort. The combination of the expansive beachfront, greenery and open spaces really makes the property stand out. The beach itself, however, wasn’t particularly clean. Willow Farm was a lovely experience for our family. We enjoyed feeding the animals, especially our son. It’s a nice addition to the resort facilities and something different from the usual swimming and beach activities. Breakfast had a great selection of Vietnamese dishes, which we absolutely loved. We also dined at Muoi Vietnamese Restaurant twice for lunch and enjoyed both the food and service. The Beach Club was another nice spot for some bites and fresh coconuts. With the beautiful surroundings and relaxing atmosphere, it was a pleasure simply spending time around the resort without feeling the need to venture elsewhere. Service was generally good throughout our stay. The front desk staff were fluent in English, making both check-in and check-out smooth. The concierge team was also helpful. A couple of things we felt could be improved. Firstly, the drinking water policy. Only four 330ml cans of complimentary drinking water were provided per room daily, regardless of the number of occupants. Additional water was chargeable, even when requested through housekeeping. Being adequately well travelled, I find this rather unusual for a five-star resort. Nowadays, most five-star hotels I stay at provide additional drinking water as needed, or have filtered water dispensers installed in the rooms or lift lobbies. Having such a strict limit on something as basic as drinking water feels rather petty, especially for a resort of this standard. Secondly, the in-room slippers were reusable rather than disposable. While I understand the environmental considerations, I would personally prefer single-use slippers for hygiene reasons, particularly when it comes to items worn directly on the feet. Thirdly, buggies at night didn’t have the courtesy to off their headlight when driving past walking guests. Our eyes are temporarily hurt by the blindly light in the dark surrounding. Nevertheless, this issues did not affect our overall enjoyment of the stay. The beautiful landscaping, expansive grounds, spacious beachfront, enjoyable dining experiences and relaxing atmosphere made this a wonderful getaway for our family. We particularly appreciated how the resort never felt crowded despite its size and range of facilities. It’s the kind of place where we could simply slow down, enjoy the surroundings and spend quality time together. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already looking forward to returning.

Spa with Tam very good. Very relaxing.

We enjoyed our stay at Meliá but this review is especially to say how good the service was throughout our stay. Standout was the spa experience at YHI - a beautiful Japanese onsen and then a massage. I recommend Aya as the massage therapist - such a treat

Had massages with Nha and Nhu at the Spa and they were great. Relaxing and well worthwhile if visiting

We spent 5 nights here & stayed in the tower in a suite on the 15th floor. The views out to see were amazing, the staff, food, pool & a massage at the spa was fantastic. The spa receptionist Nguyen greeted us warmly & our therapists Truih & T.Tien were amazing 10/10
