From traditional Vietnamese dishes, to more familiar English Breakfast options, all I could think of was there.&nbsp;If this isn&#8217;t nice, I don&#8217;t know what is!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7310 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Hay-Hay-18-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hay Hay (18)\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-id=\"7310\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Nam Hai holds an almost&nbsp;legendary status in the ETG office as one of the most luxurious and comfortable beach resorts in Vietnam. Having tried and tested many&nbsp;of Southeast Asia&#8217;s best hotels before, my standards were already very high and I wondered whether my experience would match the hype.&nbsp;It certainly did.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7309 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NAM-Rooms-Beachfront-Villa-Private-Pool_v-1-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"NAM-Rooms-Beachfront Villa-Private Pool_v-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" data-id=\"7309\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After a busy 10 days touring the country, I&#8217;d decided to pay a visit with friend and fellow ETG Travel Specialist Becky, mainly to relax by the beach. I remember arriving and immediately unwinding. The lobby, whilst impressive, is in no way intimidating and it&#8217;s the kind of environment where nothing felt too much effort for the staff to do. For example, I&#8217;d lost one of my UK adapters and wanted to borrow one &nbsp;from reception. This was all arranged without any problem whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7311 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NAM-Dining-The-Bar-Entrance_v-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"NAM-Dining-The Bar-Entrance_v-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"7311\"\/><\/p>\n<p>My room was very spacious with a large comfortable bed&nbsp;(certainly as I child I would&nbsp;have dived&nbsp;into it immediately, but I managed to restrain myself.) The furnishings were sumptuous and I loved reading my book on the day beds both inside and outside the room itself. I stayed in a beach villa looking out over the beach \u2013 a beautiful view \u2013 and whilst many other rooms are positioned in this way, they have been built in such a way that they each feel very private.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7312 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NAM-Rooms-Beachfront-Villa-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"NAM-Rooms-Beachfront Villa\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" data-id=\"7312\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dinner was incredibly delicious. There is a huge range of options from Vietnamese, to Indian, to Western, so if you are staying for a few days you&#8217;ll never be bored for choice. I can highly recommend the curries, having sampled them myself. Another brilliant feature of the hotel is its location. The resort is just a 15 minute drive from Hoi An so you can easily go into town for food, shopping or just to explore.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7313 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Dollarphotoclub_95023798-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hoi An colored buildings.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-id=\"7313\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Another lovely memory was arriving back to my room to a crisp, turned down bed, complete with relaxing candles and traditional tranquil music playing. I missed this a lot&nbsp;when coming back home, to my own bed, in the UK.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7314 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.experiencetravelgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NAM-Rooms-Bedroom-Villa-Interior01_v-1-1024x649.jpg\" alt=\"NAM-Rooms-Bedroom Villa-Interior01_v-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"507\" data-id=\"7314\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The rooms were&nbsp;fairly&nbsp;dimly lit, which makes it quite romantic (it was a bit of a shame I was there with Becky!) Nonetheless my entire experience was peaceful and&nbsp;restorative. I&#8217;d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach stay during your time in Vietnam, an insider tip also is to use the spa in the morning \u2013 it&#8217;s a fantastic way to start your day and the resort offers 20% off on treatments before lunch.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>To see how a stay at The Nam Hai&nbsp;can be tailored into your&nbsp;holiday to Vietnam, have a look at these sample itineraries.
