They have some activities available, like snorkeling and kayaking and we recommend them, it's not very expensive. Rooms are very simple, as... More

Sole resort on the island provides all that you need for an island holiday. Food is amazing & plentiful. Service is friendly & professional. Diving is incredible. No air con in bugalows, but with a breeze & a fan it is no problem. Recommended.

We stayed on Whale Island for 2 nights. The island and the beach and the calmness of the place makes it a paradise. The service is also good and the atmosphere very relaxed. Just a couple of things to note. No air conditioning in the bungalow and the temperatures can be very high at night too. And the heat keeps... More

Great snorkeling outside our rustic bamboo bungalow on the remote island beach. The water was crystal clear (especially in the morning) and just off the resort beach is a diving park; filled with colorful tropical fish, a shipwreck, and coral reefs. Watch out for jellyfish and sea urchins. Smuggle in your own snacks and beer because food and drinks are... More

Late review. Went there with the family in October 2011. We enjoyed it a lot. Our intention was 7 days but that was to much with kids so we stayed in Na Trang the last night. The kids got restless and there was not much to do on the island but swim, snorkling and scuba diving. And explore the island.... More
