L'Alya Ninh Van Bay

Unpretentious luxury! We had a lagoon side room which was huge and the outdoor shower was an amazing experience everyday! The food was pricey but good, especially breakfast. The spa was also very good. We had a treatment each day we were there (3) but we most highly recommend the Vietnamese Wellness Experience package. The staff is extremely friendly and will help you with anything you want. They are not pushy so you need to do a bit of research to know what you want to ask about but when you ask they will go out of their way to make it happen. Ask to see the monkeys!

There are not enough words to describe how special our stay at L’Ayla Ninh Van Bay was. We were lucky enough to stay for 8 nights and it was a true slice of paradise. Every single member of staff we met treated us with such kindness and warmth. A few shout outs to the restaurant staff Vy, Dung, Quan, Huy, Trai, Duy, Dien to name a few but there were so many more we didn’t write down in time!! They made us feel great and added so much to our trip where we felt true friendship, love and will miss seeing them everyday. Tam, our butler, was the loveliest, kindest man who looked after us so well and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Connecting transfers, day activities and daily tea boxes just a part of his kindness. The hilltop room was stunning, we were visited by monkeys on the daily and the grounds containing butterflies and birds truly lit up the area on peaceful walks. Housekeeping always ensured the villa was super clean and ready for us once we had returned from the beach. The restaurant had an array of amazing choices. The Vietnamese options were vast and always delicious we ate so well and never went hungry. We cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a little slice of paradise, truly. We are truly thankful to have visited and will be making plans to return.

Absolutely worth the trip. It is a bit of a journey to get here but they truly do an amazing job. The whole staff (esp Tam & Nhu) are wonderful, kind, and genuinely helpful. The food menu is extensive with options from all over the world and the breakfast is excellent. The spa is very well priced and delivers a truly relaxing experience. The real highlight, though, was seeing endangered monkeys throughout our stay. Easily one of the prettiest hotel settings we have ever experienced.

Best Butler's service

Our stay at Lalya was definitely 10/10. We greated very warmly at the lounge, and were taken to the resort by speedboat!The hotel boasts an amazing private beach, expansive greenery , biodiversity and activities but real stars that truly make it a little paradise are the people here. We stayed in a lagoon villa, which was the perfect paradise for our 4 nights there. The rooms were very well equipped and superbly maintained. The food at the main restaurant was always on point. Everything at breakfast was so fresh and well prepared with plenty of live stations and choice for western and Asian cuisine. The a la cart menu for lunch/dinner had lots of choice too. Mr. Duyet the restaurant manager, has truly made our stay memorable. We are vegetarian and he went out of his way and got us especially made dishes which were out of this world. The team including Vy were very kind and hospitable. Hats off to Ha and Vinh for making us the heartiest pho and pancakes everyday. The spa: Thi is incredibly knowledge and is a master of her art. My only regret is leaving the spa appointment towards the end of the stay. Hau and Yum gave us an incredible massage . They were clearly practised and knowledgeable. The review would be incomplete if I didn't mention the jack of all trades for our stay here, An (our butler), who is an absolute star. He is personable and professional. He remembered all our requests and preferences and had solutions/ answers to all our questions.
