Hey fam, heading to Mui Ne soon?
But deciding where to stay is low-key stressful, right? 😂
I actually stayed at two totally different resorts in Mui Ne:
one overflowing with healing vibes and top-tier convenience,
and the other? Packed with activities but… kinda wild vibes too 🌪️
Whether you’re solo, traveling with friends, or on a romantic getaway, this review is a must-read before you hit that “book now” button!

💖 Bamboo Village Resort: Aesthetic + Convenience Maxed Out!
So, why did I snatch up Mui Ne Bamboo Village Resort for my Mui Ne stay? Just one reason! It’s SOOOO close to Mui Ne city! Fishing Village, all the bomb food spots, you can seriously walk everywhere. For a solo traveler like me who just wants to roam freely, it was a total win!
If you want Insta-worthy shots + healing near Mui Ne city, this is it!
The moment I opened the resort door, seriously… the palm trees and garden? Insane! It was just like a painting. The super clean and tidy facilities got an ‘A+’ from me right away. Room condition? Absolute perfection. The panoramic window view of the palm trees and pool? Mui Ne aesthetic resort photo zone 100% agreed! 📸
Even though Bamboo Village is near the city, once you’re inside the resort, zero noise. Just birds chirping, wind blowing, and palm leaves rustling. Pure chill. Seriously! Walking around the resort alone at dawn? Pure healing. Just chilling by the pool, totally spacing out? That’s how you get real healing vibes!
And the breakfast restaurant being right by the beach? Just insane. Eating while feeling the cool sea breeze? Mind-blowing. Everything was so calm and cozy, I could just focus on myself without any complicated thoughts. Mui Ne Bamboo Village is a super high recommend for anyone who wants a real ‘chill trip’ in Mui Ne. You won’t regret it!
🌪️ Pandanus Resort: Activity Heaven… But Wild Vibes?
Okay, now let’s talk Mui Ne Pandanus Resort. I was legit shook because it’s SOOO different from Bamboo Village! Why did I pick this one? Just one reason! They said it had TONS of activities! Yoga, tennis, cooking classes, bike rentals… I was hyped to do it all inside the resort!
But the moment I got there, I was like, ‘Oops!’ It’s like, super far from Mui Ne city. Calling a cab took forever, and the round-trip fare? Money just vanished. If you’re like me and want to hit up city restaurants and shopping, this is a real skip. The travel stress was too much ㅠㅠ
They said it had a ton of activities, but due to personal stuff, I only managed to do the yoga class. That was such a bummer. BUT, turns out I was the only one, so it became a 1:1 private lesson! Total win-win! LOL The instructor totally checked my posture, and I was super focused on yoga. 🧘♀️ That part was legit!
But then at night… ugh… My room was right next to the bar, and the performances went wild ’til super late… 🎧 Couldn’t sleep. Woke up feeling like a zombie. If you want a quiet chill, you gotta pick your room location super carefully.
And… I seriously almost had a heart attack. I saw three king-sized cockroaches in the hallway!!! 😱 Luckily, they were all… dead? So I was like, ‘Phew… that’s a relief…’ (Is that even a relief? LOL) Saw so many geckos too. Okay, it’s a tropical area, so it’s ‘nature-friendly,’ I guess…? But for me, it was low-key terrifying…
But honestly, if you’re gonna legit do ALL the activities, Pandanus Resort could totally be a real value-for-money Mui Ne resort. If you like the ‘all-inclusive’ style where you do everything inside the resort, it might not be bad! (But be prepared for bugs, just sayin’!)
🏆 Final Verdict: Which Mui Ne Resort Wins?
