Six Senses Ninh Van Bay【4K】INCREDIBLE 5-Star Resort Review

[@qdbodisava9210]

Just spectacular! This is One of many Vietnam 's best resorts! Bravo for such a nice intro.

Thank you very much for the kind words and for watching 🙏🏻

Great narration. Very good coverage.

Easily your best video ever. Beautiful camera work and the background music was perfection.

[@tfft]

It's one of my oldest videos, so I don't kno what that says about my new ones 😂 Either way, thanks very much!

[@shakesnbake]

So interesting to watch one of your old videos for the first time - that music was epic.

[@DucNguyen-sm6bc]

Beautiful video and very detailed review of this resort. Also, I enjoyed your choice of peaceful music which matches very well with this location. Thank you. We will be arriving in VN in August from USA. How were you able to find such a reasonable rate for it?

[@tfft]

Comes down to checking multiple sites daily. When I came across great rates I planned the rest of the trip around it. Highly doubt they’ll ever be south of $800 again though. For what I’ve been calling “Six Senses Light…” check out L’alya Ninh Van Bay. Consistently less than half the price but just as beautiful in its own way. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@DucNguyen-sm6bc]

@@tfft Appreciate your recommendation. Definitely will look into that. We're traveling from SG to Ha Noi but stopping in Nha Trang, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, Ninh Binh and possibly Sapa. Can't afford to stay in such expensive places the whole time. Our kids (all grown!) prefer rustic, but culturally rich places since it is their first trip there... "Finding their roots, so to speak!"

[@nhl1508]

@@DucNguyen-sm6bc when you are in Danang, even if you are not staying there, I would go to the Intercontinental Danang for lunch just for the view. The view is one of the best in VN. Ninh Binh is cheap and amazing.

Great video, very informative and well produced. Came here as we are considering Ninh Van Bay and found what I was looking for plus many more details. Will definitely subscribe to your channel and check out what else you have got.

[@tfft]

Thanks very much! I’d suggest you take a look at the L’alya Ninh Van Bay video. Kind of like a Six Senses ‘lite’ and for the money, my choice in the area. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Glad to hear and thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@marti_in_tx]

Kevin!!!! Another lovely interlude to calm my mind and enjoy the beauty of the sea and lush landscape. I can't get over those huge rounded boulders everywhere. Do you think they build around them or were they able to move them around during construction? I can't imagine a machine or crane able to maneuver around those hills to place them. Thanks again.

[@tfft]

Thanks very much 🙏🏻

[@patricknguyen2680]

I m new to yours channel!!! Ya freaking awesome mate!!! Just one thing missing from ya awesomeness!!! How about investing in a fly cam???

[@tfft]

I have a drone, but between a mix of hotel policies and local laws, it's a rarity that I'm actually allowed to travel with it. This resort for example, forbids them (as do any resorts with private pools). If I was just filming in one country at a time it would be easier, but I often have 5-10 countries in one trip- so if one of those places doesn't allow drones, then I can't take it for the full trip. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@skrichiequinto]

Love all your videos! Big fan, what type of search engines do you use to check for hotel prices?

[@tfft]

Thanks very much! I build my itineraries and select my rooms using hotels.com. Then before booking I’ll see if it makes sense to instead book any of them through a credit card portal (AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts/Hotel Collection, Capital One, Chase Luxury Hotels). Then I’ll check Kayak/Agoda to see if there are any lower prices. If yes, I’ll book through hotels.com and then submit a price match. On rare occasions I’ll book with another site like Agoda if there’s some extra benefit from VIP/Genius status there. For example, next month at one hotel I’ll be at in Bali the Agoda price was $30 less than hotels.com and I could have price matched it, but the Agoda rate included a free massage. Sorry I know that’s a lot, but yeah- tbh that’s all just a small part of the time I put into choosing hotels and rates 😂. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@skrichiequinto]

Dear Kevin, great videos ! They all contain all necessary info that we are looking for while planning our trips in similar hotel classes! We had sensational stay at Ninh Van Bay, in villa no. 9! Do you remember the villa number that you had during your stay? We want to return there soon ! Thanks and bests from Germany

[@tfft]

Honestly I don’t know the villa numbers because they replaced it with my placard with my name 😂 Thinking back now the number 8 or 10 is feeling right haha. But I believed I mentioned in the video which ones I thought were best because they were set back from the road. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@ralfboettcher8250]

We had a hill top villa, not a beach front ! Can send the resort map on which I marked out villa

[@BabyDingo]

Thanks for the video! How was the mosquito situation there?

[@tfft]

Didn’t have a problem at all. In general coastal VN is easy going with mosquitos and the like. At most, a few coils here and there at night (which the hotel has) and you’ll be good. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Which hotels did you like better between this Six Senses vs Zannier bai San ho

[@nguyennhuquyet912]

Hello. Where're you from? Very nice trip channel. I wondered why are there so few subscribers. According to my experience, you should research more about youtube and audience insight (ex: people like to see 1 person as a live tour guide in video) in order to spread your video to more people. Hope it helps.

[@tfft]

Hi there, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately we had to pause postings for a while due to the lockdown in Saigon. Posting regularly is one of the (many) best way to gain consistent subscribers. That said, we will begin posting new content very soon to be able to get the channel rolling! And I am from New York but have lived in Saigon for 7 years.

Have you thought about reviewing Six Senses Rome?

Not a lot coming from Europe this year, next year perhaps!

[@tanletran7270]

Thank you for your honesty in reviewing the resort in Viet Nam . Can I ask how did you get the low price for this resort or any other resort in Viet Nam . We stayed in the resort next door the An Lam Villa now I believed call L'Alliya & paid $AUD 1000/per night for a 2 bedrooms beachfront villa back in 2015

[@tfft]

Monitoring prices for sometimes hundreds of hotels or flights is part of my daily routine. Half of it is the time put in and half of it is just sheer luck and knowing where to look. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@snackingallday]

Hi! Do you recommend this or Amanoi or An Lâm? We can’t decide!

[@tfft]

I would choose Six Senses or L’alya Ninh Van Bay (very close to SS). An Lam I did not have a great experience at and Amanoi, I have never visited, but given where the property is I cannot imagine it’s worth the price (and no matter how much research I’ve done on it, I’ve not been able to convince myself it could be worth it…). If you aren’t familiar with it please check out L’alya, there’s a video on my channel for it- it’s a little less refined than SS but I prefer the setting and the service style, SS just beats them on food. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@billc6762]

With the room door open like that, will mosquitos be a problem. Someone went to a Nha Trang resort and got a few mosquito bites

What's your opinion on compare Six Sense to Zannier? To me, Zannier is the extremely best resort I've ever stay.

[@tfft]

To be honest I think it’s difficult to compare them as (maybe not now during Covid) I think they’re trying to appeal to slightly different customer bases. From my experience their strengths are- Zannier: Food program, Local inspired architecture (with extreme attention to detail), the Beach, the facilities (main pool, restaurants, lobby, etc), villas (personal preference…). Six Senses: Service (if you like high touch service), endless activities to book, Consistency, Spa, more family friendly, larger assortment of accommodations. Both: Setting, Sustainability programs I would go back to Zannier first, but only because I was there 6 weeks after they opened and I’d love to do a follow up video a year later.

The reason why hotel rates fluctuate is because they now adapt to dynamic pricing which is same as the airline industry.

A great choice for your trip. Vietnam tourism for the most part in the past year has been completely open for citizens and residents inside the country. Vietnam is where I live :)

[@mickc8452]

What were the best meals there?

[@tfft]

While I was there in 2021 the menus were all tweaked a bit for Vietnamese tastes as only residents were allowed to visit at the time. All of the food I’d say was good, but nothing blew me away and I need to assume at least some of that was due to the modified menus. If you’re considering a stay I’d be sure to contact them and check out the menus ahead of time. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@rwrae72]

Your videos have come a long way. This old one is long and thorough but as you've learned, a bit too long. Why was the price so low? What a great bargain.

[@meditravel4924]

may I know your hilltop villa number?, thank you

To be honest I don’t know the number as they replaced it with my name, and they didn’t need the number when signing bills :) If looking at a map of the resort, it is the 2nd to last (2nd highest) hill Villa on the south side of the resort.

[@mindyluc2651]

Inter Continental Resort in Da Nang is a much better price and service. Six Sense Ninh Van Bay price is too high over charge, and their location is isolated.

[@tfft]

To each their own :) In my experience, the two properties are targeting different customers so it's difficult to compare apples to apples.

[@sodizzy3339]

Because it is isolated is the reason why people go

[@jamesphelps1958]

I actually did not enjoy my time at the Da Nang Sun, even with spire ambassador status at the time, ended up cutting the stay short and moved to the anantara Hoi an which was fantastic.

[@keshabpoudel3126]

In Goa India you can get equally good hotel in less than 80 USD per Night. I do not understand the logic of paying even 324 USD for this. My conclusion is Value one gets far less than paid price.

[@tfft]

I’m gonna wholeheartedly disagree with you on that one lol. There is nothing in Goa for $80 that will give you an experience anything close to one of the best Six Senses in Asia.
