Because of seeing this video, I decided to visit Con Dao and stayed at Six Senses Con Dao for my birthday vacation for 3 nights few days ago. It is truly fabulous, the staff, facility, the room, the service, the ocean and the SPA❤️. Thank you for sharing such beautiful review with us.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I’m glad to read that I inspired your stay

[@MarkJohnson-dr4ws]

Thanks for this video. What I particularly like about your videos is that you don't intrude, you don't self-promote as if trying to gain KZbin celebrity, instead letting the images and text commentary speak for themselves. Very appreciated, thankyou.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thx! I want my videos to be about the travel experience, not myself :)

[@imrandavis4031]

a tip: you can watch movies on kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@salvatoredash5823]

@Imran Davis yup, I have been using KaldroStream for since december myself :D

[@sharmithasahadassarma6546]

Perfect locale for relaxing away from hustle bustle of city life. Really looked a dream destination. The blue of the sea and greenery around makes it picture perfect and the ambience of the resort is totally amazing. Quiet and peaceful

[@wilmmichael3629]

I was there last August for 4 days with my family. Best resort you’ll ever go to. If you ever go there, make sure to get a PADI license (diving) first. Diving there is one of the highlights of the island. Also, you should go to watch Giant Turtles breeding (ask your butler, he’ll call the people for you) at night. They’re the last of their kind and almost extinct (~350 left in the world).

[@Falithlosar]

Hey bro! True. I will never forget this. This was just beautiful. I cherish every moment. Best resort you'll ever visit. A special island with rare and beautiful activities and landscape.

[@wilmmichael3629]

Kim Jong-un November to April is best in my opinion. It’s the dry season meaning less clouds and rain (rainfall in the wet season is horrible). I went in August out of convenience (had a lot of free time) but the weather was great anyways, it rained once and the clouds cleared up immediately after. There’s not exactly any cold seasons in the South.

[@jessicahalove5231]

I was in this place last summer and I’ll never forget it. Little bit pity when I can’t enjoy the sea but I have a special day go to the town by bike. Hard but fun.

[@VNExperience]

I live in Saigon so this and this is a short flight from the city. I'm happy for those working in Con Dao that they're opening up the resort (and 3 others) for tourism again. The pandemic has hit people hard...

[@quen7770]

I keep watching all your videos and am creating my my bucket list from them. All your videos are of perfect length and really show all you need to know. I’m keeping this channel my secret! Thanks for your uploads. Brilliant work.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your very kind comment! Have to inspire you :-)

[@amandadarrk1391]

❤️ so majestic, tranquil and beautiful! Thank you. Love ur work. Keep them coming.

[@TheCOSMETICLOVER]

Six senses has never really appealed to me in the same way as Aman but this resort just looked like paradise! The beach is amazing! I also adore the hats the staff wear!

[@SandraNelson063]

I am one of those people who find all that plant life to be very soothing. I could feel my blood pressure go down as I watched! And the bay itself is truly jaw droppingly glorious. And hey, all day ice cream!

[@jonnieinbangkok]

Sandra Nelson Those bays are a dime-a-dozen in tropical SE Asia...I'd suggest Malaysia or Thailand before Vietnam.

[@canadabuon]

if you wanna promote these countries's tourism, it's not so effective ...i see you keep licking around and trying to bring down vietnam beaches by telling people come to bali , thailand , malaysia and stuff like that. People believe in their eyes not from your mouth, now shut up and enjoy vietnam , thank you .

[@minerva7528]

Congratulations to all the people there working in the resort and building this wonderful breakfast every morning. This is always an eye catcher. Chapeau!!!!! 👌👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓

[@Canuckoperafan]

Incredible! And it's not crowded, in fact it looks almost deserted. Thanks for sharing!

[@jonnieinbangkok]

Canuckoperafan Exactly...pretty boring place...nothing but mosquitos and sand lice for company.

[@amynguyen9360]

the beach is beautiful !!! the scenery is stunning ! Thank you for your video !

[@sulabhc1]

this is what heaven would look like, great video!

[@shujathshariff9970]

hey

[@lena2.020]

This hotel is on my wishlist ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@msoviet409]

Something beautiful is waiting to surprise you at every corner and angle. All hidden behind rustic decors. So mesmerizing.

[@MwishaLudack]

This is always an endless entertainment. I so prefer your style of filming and presentation of videos. I'm still amused each time I watch. I don't even regret subscribing. Thank you, it was great! Wish you more strength to continue

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment

[@MwishaLudack]

Welcome sir...

[@flygirl1221]

I love the food shots! I would love to have yummy Asian street food at a nice resort.

[@foskco87]

I would recommend going into the actual town and staying at one of the local hotels/eating food from the local markets and restaurants. Much more interesting. This island is so unique in that there are almost no foreign tourists outside of the resorts. Almost everyone speaks only Vietnamese. Going and staying at a cushy western resort which is isolated away from the locals would mean missing out on the charm of this place. Also the locals benefit a lot from your business.

[@marry1321]

Exactly

[@elisabethsteel3382]

Really love the video, thank you for taking us along.

[@annivali4356]

Very nice. 😊 Looks like a wonderful place where to relax and forget your troubles.

[@AEvans36963]

The water view from the villa deck is beautiful

[@warrenweick598]

I was stationed on this island when it was known as Con Son in 1967. I was the only US Army soldier sent to be with 5 British civilians that were maintaining a Decca navagation site (Green South). My stint lasted about 3 months before being reassigned to Saigon. Beleive me the place has changed dramatically according to this video although the beaches were even nicer when I was there.

[@Ghound470]

Waw share some more stories sir..

[@mashan6675]

My fave is the Oberoi brand! Their service is what sets them apart. Check in formalities not at reception but in the comfort of ur room!

[@ChristinaGuckes]

I love the Six Senses or Four Seasons brand. Such beautiful and luxurious properties

[@Susan-fj8en]

Looking slowly and using my “6 senses” I should say not much money comes out of Corporate Profits on The Upkeeps of this place -- all you are paying for is a hut which is a hop skip and a jump from the ocean !!!! Cmon folks Florida has both East and West coasts with equal beauty 😍😍

[@loveaodai100]

Very well done. I think you have got the amount of time, amount of detail, amount of comments, music just right. Looking forward to every Aman resort reviewed the same way...!!!!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Amanoi will be one of my next clips :)

[@loveaodai100]

Really looking forward to it!! Ps... I was at Phan Rang last week. I can understand it if you never want to leave the resort but if you might there is a fairly new coastal road linking Phan Rang with Ca Na to the south being about 50 kilometers in length. Every inch of that road hugs the coast or is within view of the sea and is extremely beautiful with incredibly beautiful rocky outcrops along the way. One more hint if you might have any more time in Saigon... The Hotel Des Arts (Accor Group) is a really nice place being very new with a rooftop super cool pool and a jaw dropping glass bottom bridge linking the neighboring office building. It is a five star hotel which I think you will very much enjoy mixing classic Indochine elegance with modernity... something not easy to do but they did it well!

[@colinnichols9529]

Fantastic videos and reviews . Pure quality .

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you 🙏

[@RC2214]

I like the theme colors, they remind me of oranges lemons and limes

[@Guerry-3]

Thank-you for taking the time to record, edit, and share your video with us. This is the first video of yours I have seen, and it is very professionally done. I am also impressed with your following, for they have posted some exceptionally thought provoking comments. As far as the resort, I am captivated by its ability to seamlessly blend into the natural setting. I like how a guest is able to be enjoying the rustic beauty of the beach and other areas, yet is merely moments away from returning to the amenities of home. Out of curiosity, did you discover any negatives, such as bugs, jungle animals enjoying your villa in the morning, etc.? Thank-you again for your work. I look forward to your next video.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Hi there, thank you for your very kind comment. For each hotel, I also publish a review on my blog, with pros & cons. This is the review for Six Senses Con Dao (with only a few cons): theluxurytravelexpert.com/2017/07/26/review-six-senses-con-dao/

[@quinnhoang2501]

Love it. Heaven on Earth!!!!

[@kelvinham8576]

This place rates as my favorite of all your tours, not sure why, it is not super plush, not spectacular, but feels right. Like a comfortable beautiful place that lingers in our memories of past. Locked down again in Melbourne Australia, these are wonderful escapes. I miss Bohol, I'm caught in Melbourne and can not get back, this place reminds me of Panglao. The perfect sandy white beach, Bohol with its jungle covered hills plunging into the ocean.

[@vatsalasampat895]

Hey doc. I met an architect friend who works for a renowned firm in Bengaluru. When I recommended your KZbin videos to him he told me that he was familiar with them. Hey doc you seem to be a familiar name in architecture circles. Great going ☺️. This resort is unique in that the motto seems to be luxury in simplicity. The extensive use of bamboo and wooden rafts lend this place a rustic charm. The native Vietnamese hats nón lá are typical of most South East Asian countries. What struck me about the beach is that it is surrounded by lush green mountains. Gosh magnificent doc. Fell in love with the orange, green and white theme for the decor. The ocean facing rooms are such a draw. The idea of an outdoor shower gazing at the spectacular Nature is so appealing. Must do the Six Senses resort soon.💜👛💄👠😊

[@missoury905]

A WONDERFULLY ISLAND - MANY THANKS FOR SHARING

[@TheDricavasa]

OMG!!!!!!! Loved!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aommachannel8121]

Thank you for ur video .make me feel so relaxing.

[@6falconsue]

One of my friends just talked me into spending a week in NYC this October. Haven't been there in years and years. I would be happy to relax at the Six Senses Con Dao for a week with a few good books and exotic drinks rather than fight the crowds in Manhattan. (Oh, I know I will love being back in New York City, though.) What a beautiful beach and lovely grounds! A few too many stairs in your villa (for me, anyway), but otherwise can't fault it. Red suitcase looks quite content on its bench, little knowing what's in store after the trip to Vietnam. Cheers, and thanks for another great video.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Well, I wouldn't mind enjoying a week of Indian Summer in NYC! Or perhaps you should postpone your stay untill Six Senses opens its NYC property next year :) Thanks for your great comment!

[@cuelloroto5569]

Nice video i would love to visit that resort thanks for sharing it with us! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@fabdoesstuffandwhatnot]

the detailing in this resort is exquisite

[@misssasha168]

Wow, i will add this on my next vacation list in Vietnam. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

It's a gorgeous property indeed (and highly recommended).

[@misssasha168]

the Luxury Travel Expert Yes it looks like the real paradise, secluded and beautiful 🌴.

[@jeffkuroda7461]

the Luxury Travel Expert what country are from?

[@cuthomas4664]

What a fabulous resort it is!!!

[@gailpool4042]

Glorious! Thanks!

[@etekbaba]

Like always ..beautiful video! and again, probably because of music, style of filming, I have the sensation that I keep the camera, and, involuntary must have the care how to step.

[@giannisfillis5053]

amazing video...my favourite hotel brand is six senses.

[@ninfav.332]

Thanks for share so Divine chic places👏👌🌞I see u always first in my big tv looks paradise!!!thanks xo

[@dwisatya8092]

It is too beautiful, my favourite six sense so far

[@xSOSAx-TM]

Who else in the comment stopped the video to see what the schedule was??😂😂

[@DrRezaAliRumi]

Me I

[@mfitzpa66]

Such a beautiful place..

[@felineluvr8408]

Like I said in your previous video, you are an absolutely amazing videographer. It's like you're floating on clouds. How do you do it. You blow my mind. Would you ever consider doing a video in Hawaii, Turks and Caicos, Mexico, Fiji, Aruba or Bora Bora? I understand they have amazing beaches and resorts and spas. I would be so happy if you did. Thank you for your amazing carefully planned mind blowing videos. You should be doing this professionally if you aren't already.

[@danaesquires7571]

We were there in November but stayed at Poulo Condor and La Maison. ConDo is wonderful. I'd love to live there one day.

[@JohnSmith-qg3jb]

Great vid - loved the DIY booze station at breakfast!

[@lasbrisas25mio]

Wonderful !!!!! Great video!!!! Wow !

[@alanthompson4912]

Maybe next time walk to water,and maybe even get in ocean and show veiw of resort from oceans edge,I sure wish I could go there someday it looks gorgeous

[@TamNguyen-jf5yx]

Thanks For the excellent video !!!

[@NewGen911]

Four Seasons is definitely the Best of the best and Hyatt Regency hotels & resorts are my favorites.

[@johncalvinhall]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@joonas6036]

Where are you from? I just found your channel and i love it. Also subscribed :)

[@LuxuryTechandTravel]

Stunning amazing resort and great vid as always. Tnx for posting

[@leotal3694]

beautiful location and another perfect show from you doc ! I really appreciate your passion and taste for the way you achieve conveying us viewer your particular "cut". I subscribed your channel and I truly relish watching your high-end globetrotting!!! Just sometime there's a sort of a bit lack of female presence in these paradises... As a matter of fact at least 5 on 6 senses are more widely opened up in that circumstances, don't you think??? Don't mind, just a final afterthought man 😀🤣😅 ✌

[@saanja9017]

Great way of filming and beautiful music👍👌😀🤗

[@andrewbales7327]

Video is really nice and the resort is amazing. I have been to the Six Senses in Da Lat and Ninh Vinh Bay. I would suggest you edit a lot of the video to about 5-10 min. Not many can sit for 45 min!

[@sorinabalan1913]

My travel experience is not so wide, I traveled in Europe, North America and Caribbean. I have a couple of favorite places. One is the Body Holiday in St. Lucia. They include one massage per person each day for those staying more than 3 nights. I guess the spa is one of the best spas in Caribbean. Also, the food is healthy, they have a lot of sports, yoga, hiking activities. I spent 10 nights there having a massage every day. Pure paradise! In Italy (Tuscany, not so far from Sienna) I stayed in an old farm house (transformed in B&B). It was my favorite. It was very romantic not far from some thermal baths. The house was in a middle of wheat and olives fields. The neighbor house was 3miles away. There are very nice and attractive places in Asia - Pacific and South America, but it would be a huge challenge to flight there.

[@graceandmarvellouswonders6249]

I've fallen in love with your style of filming the videos it makes me feel as if I am there truly. Pls don't change it with talking and what not not necessary, plus I feel it would mess up the Aman vibe. We like it quite. Thank you peace

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you. I won't change the style of my clips any time soon.

[@cheryllim8263]

[@shelleyharris2850]

[@dariuszdariusz9027]

Nice vid . . Awesome . . Wish u can make a review about @ Four Seasons Langkawi Malaysia & Pangkor Laut Resort Malaysia . .

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I have published a review of Four Seasons Langkawi Malaysia already (one of my first trip reports) ...

[@mashan6675]

This is a lovely place too. Vietnam on my wish list. Hope to make it there some day!😊🙏

[@luxurytravelexpert]

You should!

[@CS_22]

This is amazing! Six Senses also do Spa's right? My Fav hotel brand has to be the Marriott!

[@shelleyharris2850]

The wood. Simply lovely. 😇😎🤘😍🙌

[@mrsilwood2578]

A great island I enjoyed my visit

[@uboubo2279]

nice video, thank you for sharing

[@02theang]

This would be my second favorite right behind Sonvena Jani!

[@ClaudiaOnyx89]

Wow. So amazing. Vietnam is no doubt a wonderful country with so many beautiful places to see. It is definitely on my travel list after i saw your videos :)

[@jonnieinbangkok]

Claudia Mihalcea It's no different than any other country in SE Asia and is a communist dictatorship...why support that with your tourist money. Go to Bali instead...beautiful scenery, easier to get to, and no communists.

[@ClaudiaOnyx89]

Jonnie Bangkok i know honey but even china is still communist and has a big culture. Such beliefs of religion and regime shouldnt stop tourism

[@o0MeowMeow0o]

Jonnie Bangkok They maybe communist but there is no Bomb attacked like in Bali and Bangkok , just like when u telling everyone dont go to China bcoz they are communist,People will laugh at you.

[@Zarih67]

Jonnie Bangkok plenty of filthy beaches. Travel, learn and accept.

[@iluxman]

Jonnie Bangkok: This is really super stupid "advise"!

[@ericboutilly927]

Yes it was just amazing

[@elizabethsmith2948]

Beautiful background

[@jilldawson89]

I am more like a beach woman, but my husband will definitely love this place. How much does it cost for a room? When is the best time to travel there?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Room rates depend on the season (can be checked on the Six Senses website). Best time for travel is November to April (dry season).

[@fredfoz6730]

Were all meals complimentary as I noticed some prices on one of the menus?

[@markuspaila3385]

I really like Hilton Hotels. Specially in Asia their hotels are on the next level. Unfortunately Hiltons in the US. are a bit outdated :/. I really enjoyed your video, keep it up!:))

[@luxurytravelexpert]

thx

[@nikkiprice8728]

its a beautiful place

[@MrBibibox]

Thanks for your video, but pls note that this is not South China sea, in Vietnam it is called East Sea. Thank you.

Were jellyfish present while snorkeling or on the beach at the resort?

[@gelbfrosch1]

Nice Place to be!!

[@edmsing]

Have you noticed, every warm weather resort is currently running televison commercials, trying to squeeze every last drop out of their winter season, by picturing empty beaches and blue waterways, while even in their off season, which are our hot summer months, an empty beach would still be hard to find…?

[@Wallykget1]

switch at 22:54. I guess its time to test the pool.

[@eniretak33pal52]

Les images de 11.54 à 12.05 et ensuite de 12.21 à 12.28 sont splendides. Elles montrent un cadre tellement apaisant. On voudrait vraiment être là-bas. 24.27 encore ces lits avec voilage. C'est très joli. Se réveiller avec cette vue, mais au milieu d'un cadre intime, c'est formidable de 29.02 à 29.10 époustouflantes images et encore 30.55-30.57 32.25-32.36 42.14 Oh ! des sortes de hamburgers avec ds potatoes !... 43.13 Ca a l'air nettement mieux et la suit aussi. Encore un endroit de rêve, d Paix? Avec une cetaine simplicité. Pas trop de luxe. C'est bien.

[@quangminhnguyen2431]

Does Virtuoso require any high fee for their booking service?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

They don't charge a fee.

It's a Samsonite suitcase
