Help a first-time-traveler in Mui Ne

Hi all!

In Mars are we going to Asia and Mui Ne (Sealion Resort) for the first time and is looking forward to a lovely two week holiday. I麓ve been reading alot in this forum for help and tips but have a few questions I hope you can help me with.

- How much does lunch and dinner cost?

- Is there only seafood at the restaurants or does they also serve meat or chicken?

- How麓s the snorkeling in Mui Ne?

Thanks in advance

Help a first-time-traveler in Mui Ne

hi Magnus

I don%26#39;t know about snorkeling, but I can help with the meal questions. The restaurants do serve meat and poultry beside seafood. Cost for a good sumptuous meal runs from $15-$40 for 2, with seafood like oyster, crabs and prawn, including beers but not liquor. I guess you can go for much less at local restaurants but the ambiance is no comparison.

We had a wonderful dinner at Ngoc Suong, a famous restaurant where our table was on the beach in a beautiful setting and it costs us around $40. I highly recommend everybody in Mui Ne to check it out for a romantic special dinner. Too bad their website does not state the price but you can have an idea of what they serve.

We also had lunch at Hoa Vien restaurant. It is also very nice with a beach view. And if you%26#39;re a fan of Czech beer, they brew their own on site.

Another one we visited was the Cay Bang restaurant next to Hoa Vien. The food was good, fresh seafood but the crowd is loud, the facilities not really clean and service is very slow.

All in all, the food would be good wherever you eat in Mui Ne. You%26#39;ll like it. The highlight of our recent trip was indeed the food.

Happy planning.

Thank you so much for your answer!

I麓ve written down your recommendations and will try to wisit them once we are there.

It sounds really great that you can have a sumptuous meal for that amount of money. But can you (or someone else) tell us how much a simple lunch and dinner may cost in Mui Ne? We are trying to figuera out how much money we need to allocate to this vacation.

And another questions I cant find the answer to, how much does a bottle of water costs?

Hi,

I can give you some examples about food cost.

There are always the very budget small rests

where you can eat for $10 p.p.

But for a european standards restaurant:

Lobster 750000 dong Kg

Tiger prowns 500000 dong/Kg

Fish excellent quality 20-400000

Tuna 300000 - Chicken 300000

1Euro=23000 dong

see pictures of fish prices inside my review for

Terracotta resort

Good Luck

For a simple lunch or dinner we chose to eat at the two roadside eateries directly across from SinhCafe%26#39;s Mui Ne resort. They allowed us to choose seafood from the day%26#39;s fresh catch which they prepared for us on the spot. It was very good and the service was beyond friendly. These restaurants lack the upscale atmosphere and beachfront views of their counterparts down the road but the food and service are uniformly excellent. The cost was about 7USD per person including beer.
