Ong Bon Pagoda Tours and Activities

Possible scam with this management team. When we arrived at the property, we were told that our apartment is not available because of a fire alarm issue. He walked us down the street a couple blocks to another building and said this suite was bigger. When we got there, we found it wasn’t overly clean, it was on the third floor overlooking the back alley and wasn’t as nice as the Song Apartment Building we just came from. He said this was all it’s available unless we wanted to pay an extra fee to get back into the Song apartment building. I looked online Expedia and seen there are still some apartments available so I told him I was going to cancel original reservation and go with a different management company. I walked back to the song apartments and was just about ready to rebook when he called me on WhatsApp and said they found an apartment at no extra cost. The only reason he called me back was because I stuck to my guns and was gonna cancel my original partial Seaview apartment reservation. The apartment was OK, not very well equipped but we ate out the whole time we’re there. Apartment building itself is OK. Beware, if they say “not available unless you pay more” I see others had same problem getting what they asked for.

It is a small hotel with a small pool (which became too crowded during peak hours with kids) and is within walking distance to the beach. It has a restaurant that caters three meals a day and is quite good. Meal selections are mostly Vietnamese. We booked one night to get away from the noisy and crowded Vũng tàu beaches and will consider returning.
