( 062-374 3086; www.xinchaohotel.com ; 129 Ð Nguyen Dinh Chieu; r US$20-50; ) Im-
pressive new hotel (owned by kitesurfers) set well back from the busy coastal road. A lot
of thought has gone into the design, with rooms grouped around a pool at the rear, and a
small lounge area (with pool table) and roadside bar-restaurant that add to the appeal.

HOTEL $$

( 062-384 7008; www.fullmoonbeach.com.vn ; 84 Ð Nguyen Dinh Chieu; r from US$56; )

An artistically designed place where the committed owners have consistently upgraded
the facilities to keep up with the competition. Features a bamboo-shaded pool, rooms with
four-poster beds and terracotta tiling, and an oceanfront bar. However, it's a little over-
priced; try to negotiate a discount.

BOUTIQUE HOTEL $$$

( 062-384 7440; www.miamuine.com ; 24 Ð Nguyen Dinh Chieu; r US$90, bungalows US$130-190;
) Everything is right at this stylish beachfront hotel. The gorgeous accommoda-
tion features designer furnishings dotted around a beautiful tropical garden. The pool area
is particularly attractive, facing the ocean and bordered by the excellent Sandals restaur-
ant, and the friendly, efficient staff really give the hotel that little extra polish that is lack-
ing elsewhere.

Eating
As Mui Ne is an upmarket resort rather than a backpacker stronghold, it's one of the most
expensive places to dine out in Vietnam.

Com Chay Phuoc

(15B Ð Huynh Thuc Khang; meals 20,000d; 7am-9pm; ) An exceptional little vegetarian
place owned by Di, the ever-helpful English-speaking owner. There's no menu, but al-
ways four or five freshly cooked Vietnamese dishes. You eat on bamboo tables in very
clean surrounds. It's right opposite the Eiffel Tower of the Little Paris resort, on the far
east of the strip.
