The architecture and grounds at Ocean and Maia are spectacular. The local area is pretty quiet, but Cat Tien town is only 20 minutes walk along the beach, and there are good local seafood restaurants there. Food options at the resort are limited and expensive
My family enjoyed the accommodations. Front desk staffs were professional & friendly. Bedding was very comfortable. The villa is spacious with Kitchenette, dining room table. Good layout. Free breakfast is a plus. We had a car so we just went to the town for dinner. Che desserts at Mr Beans is a must try.
Everything is excellent except for pick up guess area policy. It did not make sense when the resort did not allow our drive to drive to the front of reception area to pick up guess, even it was raining and the parking lot was far from the front desk.
We had a wonderful stay at The Ocean. We stayed for 3 nights in a Villa, 4 adults and one 1.5 yo baby. The Villa was well equipped and very comfortable. The master bedroom with a large bathroom and bathtub was great. The open concept living space was convenient, and well lit. The resort is new with excellent gym, large clean beautiful pool and play room for kids. There is only one restaurant, on the Maia Resort ground (neighbour). The menu was diverse with specialties every night (steak, chicken, Vietnamese...) and serves fresh and delicious food. One downside is that there is no other option for restaurant on the resort or walking distance, so be prepared to pay quiet a hefty price for food.
We used the spa, it was fantastic, 4-hand massage and bamboo stick massage. Also quite expensive but very good service and serene environment.
The beach is beautiful and very few people. It was rough weather, double red flag, so no swimming but beautiful for walks.
Overall we loved this resort, the staff really is wonderful and made our stay great. We hope to be back.
