Phu Cat Beach Resorts from RM353

"I've lived in Vietnam for several years and never went to a FLC. If you don't live in Vietnam FLC is a Vietnamese owned and operated company. So 5 stars isn't international standard 5 stars. Also its catered to Vietnamese guests (explained below.) The rooms are nice enough especially if you stay in the Villas. However the service is not 5 stars and certain parts of the Hotel are run down. A few examples would be no pool or bar service before 5pm as most Vietnamese are scared of the sun and won't go swimming before then. Only one restaurant on site which couldn't make the fresh juice on their menu because they said they were too busy. There were like 3 tables out of a 30 tables full. No aircon in the lobby areas. There were several other ones I could talk about but yeah again it says 5 stars but its more like 4. If you think you're getting a good deal because you see 5 stars you're not. Spend the extra money and go to an international Hotel brand. If you want a 4 stsr hotel with pretty decent villa then stay here but keep expectations low like I did and you'll be good"

"The Avani is a secluded gem. The setting is beautiful. You have access to a pool area and a private beach. The staff are gracious as can be. The yoga in the morning is a welcome way to start the day. Highly recommended."

"This is a very nice hotel and the rooms are spacious and clean. However, I would warn English speakers that this hotel can be a bit of a struggle as it didn’t seem there were many staff with English skills. Not a bad thing at all, just want to note that you shouldn’t expect fluent English at all times. Additionally, this hotel does not allow Grab on the property. In order to leave, you need to book a private car or ask the front desk to hire a taxi. The taxis are outrageously priced — ours asked for 150,000 VND for a 2km ride and eventually he settled for 100,000 which is still WAY beyond baseline. The town nearby has some cute cafes and beach access, but is obviously much more limited than downtown Quy Nhon, which is a 20-30 minute ride. Also to note, we were informed by a local guide that FLC properties displaced a fishing village in order to build their resort, and I don’t think I would’ve stayed here if I had known that beforehand. In short, only stay here if you don’t plan to do any excursions or exploration outside hotel property."
