The IMPERIAL Vung Tau Hotel

Great hotel. Perfect for Xmas. Lovely Xmas tree and decorations. It’s a shame they were doing so much construction in vung tau when we were there but we still really enjoyed our stay here. The food for Xmas dinner wasn’t great but the seafood restaurant across the road by the beach la sirena was amazing.

When you picture a beach hotel resort, you should think beach, beautiful ocean water, lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a nice fruity drink with an umbrella in it. This place was far from that. When you first get a look of the place you should look at the architecture. Think French mixed in with Greek, mixed in with English, mixed in with Italian. Whoever was the architect must have been drunk or on absinthe when they created this monstrosity. The colonial outfits that the bellboys and the mixed European artwork made it all the worse. Next came the beach. The beach would have been nice if there wasn't excavators, rebar, wiring, metal walls and other construction going on surrounding the beach. I didn't even want to step foot on the beach without fear of stepping on a nail or getting something from the water which has runoff from the construction. Private beach of doom! The Imperial Plaza next door has seen better days. There is only one shop open inside and as for the rest of the building, who knows. it's been walled off from other people to see. How about the room? They gave me a free upgrade. Nice of them but it didn't make much of a difference. My friends had the same type of room I booked before the upgrade. The only difference is a dining room which wasn't used since I was eating out. The wall outlets of the room were in areas where you can't really use them to plug in your things. I had to wrap my phone charger around an antique nightstand just to get power. Light switches were in very inconvenient areas of the room, I gave up turning off the living room/kitchen area. Bottled water were these 2 tiny bottles given in each room. I went down to the corner market just to buy water for my room. Counter space in the kitchen was good but in the bedroom or bathroom, not even there. The bathroom had a nice bathtub for baths...not meant for showers even though there is a shower. There was no curtain so water was flowing of the sides and splashing on the floor. This hotel paid some good money to make the pictures look good, but don't trust them at all. The construction to the beach is not going to be done anytime soon and I highly recommend you stay very far away from this place.

Beautiful spot. Just wish the hotel bar and restaurant was open a little later. The rooms were lovely and beds were comfy.

Hotel is clean and nice, but better don’t swim in the sea, water isn’t clean.

The hotel itself has a great feel and is very luxurious with great service. Everything is good, except across the road is basically a 1km + building site, so the vibe of the area is very poor.

Very clean and well kept room. Great view from the room facing the swimming pool. The facilities are pretty standard for a 5 star resort. Buffet breakfast was rather disappointing as most of the dishes tasted quite bland. Its a short walk to the beach with breathtaking view. Love our stay there!
