Păng Xim Holidays from NZ$3,324

I loved staying here. The sea view was so relaxing. The pool and modern apartment made it a great choice.

The room was clean with a fantastic view. However we were given limited information on checkin about the facilities. Pools are fantastic and cocktails great by the beach bar. What lets the resort down is the limited food options you are restricted to what is on site as the nearest town is not walkable. There a mini marts on site with limited options. We stayed from Wednesday to Saturday and it was extremely quiet. We were an English family and got through with google translate which was not a problem for us but could be for other travellers.

"Wyndham" in the name might make you think you are dealing with a hotel, but it's not a hotel at all. (They probably have no connection to the Wyndham hotel chain -- surprised Expedia allows this.) We arrived looking for the Wyndham hotel desk, but found no such thing. Instead, we found slightly annoyed staff at the facility concierge desk, who explained that we had booked rooms from a third party, and needed to call them to get into our rooms. We had no phone number and no idea who to call. After about 30 minutes of walking from building to building, asking reception staff what to do, word somehow reached our agency and a very nice guy came and found us and showed us to the room. It helped a lot that three of our party spoke Vietnamese, and to do it right, you probably need a local phone. Aside from that, the room was decent, a good value for the price. It had a clothes washer and microwave. The view from an outside room is spectacular, and likewise from the rooftop pool of building D. The resort is huge, somewhat isolated, and very crowded on a weekend in July (mostly Vietnamese families, with few foreigners). The beach is decent, and you can eat local seafood on the sand all day. The resort doesn't seem to have any upscale a la carte dining options, but has a decent noodle shop and some cafes.
