Spa in Palace Hotel quite good but looks old already
Spa center in Petrohotel (new hotel near Lam Son stadium) much more fresher and better equipped..
One problem both places have too much compulsive service .. especially service boys with their maniacal attempts to help in everything, even in taking off your underwear
If you are visiting the Mary & Baby Jesus round in Strawberry Beach bay you may like to give Vung Tau Yacht Club at 33 Tran Phu a try. You can eat, drink, stay (hotel/long term residence). A hidden treasure and a nice place for a romantic sunset while sipping a cold beer… Cheers! Alan
Any progress in Vungtau Marina project? I saw the master plan of marina and yacht club on your website – it looks impressive
We stopped there a few weeks ago for a drink and were told to go away! i dont think we will be returning any time soon.
i’ve lived in Vietnam since i was 26 (30 now). The Vietnamese people have trouble understanding that western people know how to do things for themselves, i’m quite sure they are under the impression that we all have slaves that wipe out bums for us back in our countries or origin. When I explain to people i was homeless as a teenager, they simply call me a liar. I am now a qualified teacher and have been enjoying life in general in Vietnam, but the attitude of locals is the only drawback. I tend to only hangout with other foreigners as they are much easier to get along with and far more relaxing.
Don’t expect too much in ways of service, if someone is acting stupid just walk away, don’t bother arguing, keep small amounts of money in a different pocket than your wallet so they can’t see how much you’ve really got. I’m sorry if people are hurt by my words, but after almost 4 years i feel i can make a general observation. the reasons i live here are simple, i only have to work 15 hours a week, rent is cheap, food is cheap, life is cheap…..oh and the women are beautiful (well my woman is anyway).
I am sorry but I do not appreciate your remark about Vietnamese. It is obvious that you will never understand Vietnamese or Eastern people in such that view. Honestly I am wondering what kind of people you are interacting with. If you just spend your time in pubs, bars, discotheque… then I can get it through. I do not deny your remarks about the security on street. There are always bad guys and good guys you are not right when you evaluate Vietnamese like that. I am a teacher too and I have my own ethics for my job. I prefer to study with a foreign teacher with all my respect in his personality and responsibility than a hypocrite teacher. How can you spend your life in that opinion while you are living and working here?
I was seeking some information about my hometown to introduce to some foreign friends and I saw your remarks. I can’t help that and I wanted to write this comment. Oh ya, your words are really hurtful and not polite. I think that you also love your own country and people there. I debate because I respect people surround my life in my country. I suppose that you would adapt to the life-style here in Vietnam rather than keep being disgusted. Hopefully this comment finds your friendship not humiliation.
Max, how is your observation connected with Vung Tau City and how these commets are related to “where to go”?
Concerning your opinion, this is your personal opinion.. and basing on my personal observation – local people treated to you the same way as you treated to them …
And as about foreigner teachers, those are working here, most of them (by my personal opinion) come here and stay here exactly because – “… work 15 hours a week, rent is cheap, food is cheap, life is cheap….”
What do you want their will think about you ??
Quiet… quiet guys..
Not a place for fighting here….
Better tell me any good place in Vungtau for hair cut. Tried 2 barber shops but all not good
There’s a men’s barber shop on the LH side of XVNT street heading away from town, just north of the market and a couple of hundred metres before XVNT meets Le Hong Phong. 30,000VND, but they do a good job.
Hello to ALL ! Have you been to Vung-tau cable car connecting the ground terminal on the Tran-Phu beach to the Big mountain’s hill ? The round-way ticket is VND100,000 /pax (adult) and VND50,000 /pax (children). Being on the hill, you can have overall view to the city. If you have visited there, I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks !
I’ve have been there many times. Before there nothing to do and very boring. Only good view on the City and pine trees forest. Now better. Have roller coaster, small zoo and other things.

Very pity they closed the road, before I came up to the mountain by car, now its not possible.
Cable car is good and view from cabin is breathtaking
SPA CENTER IN PALACE HOTEL AND MASSAGE mentioned above closed already. Please update info.
Actually this place was good, now have no idea where to go for massage in Vung Tau.
Will be arriving in Vung Tau 12th of February and would like to be doing a motor bike trip sightseeing etc and good leads out there, would be appreciated cheers Allan.
