Escape to Paradise: Romeliess Hotel, Vung Tau's Hidden Gem
Romeliess Hotel: My actual Vung Tau Escape (Spoiler: It's Complicated, But Mostly Awesome)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans (and maybe a little bit of the buffet breakfast) on my stay at the Romeliess Hotel in Vung Tau. Forget the perfectly polished brochures, this is the real deal. I'm talking dirt, sweat, and the occasional existential crisis brought on by too much poolside contemplation. And believe me, I contemplated. A lot.
Accessibility - Let's Get This Out of the Way: Okay, so accessibility…it's there. Kind of. Elevator? Yes! That's a huge plus. Facilities for disabled guests? Listed as a thing, but I didn't personally experience it, so I can't give a full breakdown. Wheelchair accessible? Again, I'd need more firsthand experience to say definitively. It's listed, but verify with the hotel directly before booking if this is a major concern.
Internet (and the Glorious Lack Thereof, Sometimes): Thank goodness for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! It's a lifeline, especially when you're trying to navigate the local markets (which, by the way, are amazing). But… and there's always a but, isn’t there? Sometimes the Wi-Fi was a little… temperamental. Like, it would decide to take a nice, long nap just when I really needed to upload that Instagram photo of my perfectly sculpted poolside latte art. Grrr! But hey, Internet access [LAN] is available, so you have options. Internet services overall were adequate, but don't expect lightning speed. Embrace the digital detox! (Unless you have to work, in which case, good luck.)
The Room (My Sanctuary, My Mess Pit): Okay, let's talk room specifics. I opted for a non-smoking room (because, you know, lungs), and it was… spacious. Really spacious. Carpeting, blackout curtains (thank the heavens for those!), and a desk that actually was useful. Air conditioning blasted like a polar vortex in the middle of Vietnamese humidity -- a blessing for my sweaty self. The bed? HUGE. Extra-long bed! Towels were soft, and the slippers were a nice touch, after a long day by the pool. Bathrobes were there, too. I’m a bathrobe person, okay? And the minibar? Stocked. Always a plus. I am a bit messy, but it felt fine. Daily housekeeping was on point and a godsend. There may have been a few times I just… left things. My room, I mean. And they cleaned it up. Without judgement. You got this.
Cleanliness and Safety (aka, Did I Survive?): Absolutely! The anti-viral cleaning products gave me a peace of mind (it’s a weird world out there right now, folks). I noticed daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays. They even had hand sanitizer everywhere. First aid kit was available, which I thankfully didn't need. Staff trained in safety protocol seemed legit. So, yeah, I felt pretty darn safe.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Favorite Category!): Where do I even begin? The breakfast buffet was a game changer. Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, a whole glorious spread. I may have gone back for seconds… and thirds… well, let's just say I embraced it. The restaurants offer a mix of Asian cuisine and International cuisine. The coffee/tea at the coffee shop was decent. The Poolside bar was my go-to, because, well, poolside. They had a happy hour, which is essential. The snack bar came in handy for those mid-afternoon cravings. Food delivery through room service [24-hour] was also available. There are Vegetarian restaurant options, I’m told (I didn’t try them, I wasn’t thinking clearly), and desserts in restaurant was a big plus, as it should be. Oh, I also spotted some Salad in restaurant, and a soup in restaurant, just in case you wanted to be healthy, LOL.
Things to Do (and Ways to Relax - My Real Mission in Life): Oh, the relaxation! This is where Romeliess really shines.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The Pool with view was epic. Pure, unadulterated bliss. I spent hours just floating, staring up at the sky, and contemplating the meaning of life (which, let's be honest, is probably just more poolside cocktails). There was even a poolside bar.
- Spa: Now, this is where things got seriously decadent. I went for a massage. Oh. My. Goodness. It was divine. I swear, I felt like I was being kneaded into pure, blissful jelly.
- Body scrub and Body wrap available? Yes.
- Sauna, Spa/sauna, and Steamroom included, for you spa fans.
- Fitness center: It exists, though I have to admit, I may have only peeked in briefly. I was on vacation, after all. But good for you if you can stick to your routine.
Services and Conveniences – The Nitty Gritty: All the usual suspects are on offer: Air conditioning in public area, Concierge services, Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, a Convenience store, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, a Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Safety deposit boxes, and Smoking area.
This is where I got a bit lazy. I really just liked being in my room, or drinking a beer by the pool.
Getting Around (The Fun Part… or Not): Airport transfer? Available, which is super convenient. Car park [free of charge] is a huge win. Taxi service is also available. They also have car park [on-site] and Valet parking.
For the Kids (Spoiler: I’m not a kid, but they seemed happy): I'm not traveling with any kiddos, but Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids facilities are all listed.
A Few Quirks and Imperfections (Because No Place is Perfect):
- The elevator… Sometimes it took a while. I did, on one occasion, end up trekking up the stairs from the third floor. Not a huge deal, but worth noting.
- The signage. It could be a little confusing at times. I got lost. More than once. Blame it on the cocktails.
The Emotional Verdict:
Look, Romeliess Hotel isn’t perfect. It’s not a sterile, soulless chain hotel. It’s got character. It’s got its quirks. It’s got a fantastic pool. And if I’m being honest, it’s exactly what I needed. It was a place to escape the world, to recharge, and to maybe, just maybe, figure out what I was doing with my life. (Still working on that one, FYI.)
My Recommendation?
Absolutely. If you're looking for a relaxing escape in Vung Tau, with a touch of adventure and a whole lot of chill, then Romeliess Hotel is worth a look. It's a solid basecamp for exploring the area, or just kicking back and doing absolutely nothing. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! My trip to the Romeliess Hotel in Vung Tau, Vietnam. Prepare for a chaotic, opinionated, and probably slightly seasick recap.
THE ROMELIESS RAMBLINGS & VACAY VIBES (Spoiler alert: there will be food.)
Day 1: Arrival & All That Jet Lag BS
- 6:00 AM (ish - who the hell knows?): Landed in Tan Son Nhat airport. After a red-eye, I resembled a particularly grumpy badger. The humidity hit me like a wall. A sticky, humid wall. Immigration was a breeze, though. I'm blaming my pre-trip anxiety for expecting a bureaucratic nightmare. Score one for Vietnam!
- 7:30 AM: Taxi to Romeliess. The drive? Pure sensory overload. Scooters zipping like angry bees, honking like a symphony of chaos, vibrant colors assaulting my sleep-deprived eyes. It was…thrilling. In a 'hold-on-for-dear-life' kind of way.
- 9:00 AM: Arrived at the Romeliess. First impressions…? Pretty. Very pretty. Lobby was all sleek lines and gleaming marble, like something out of a Bond film. Except, y'know, instead of a martini, I needed about five gallons of water.
- 10:00 AM: Room Revelation (and a minor meltdown): My room? Gorgeous. Ocean view. Balcony. Heaven. Then I realized I'd forgotten my phone charger. Cue the internal screaming. Rookie mistake. But the view…the view was enough to temporarily quiet the existential dread.
- 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM: Food Glorious Food: Lunch at the hotel restaurant. Oh. My. God. Fresh spring rolls, bursting with flavor. Pho, so fragrant it slapped me awake. I probably inhaled the entire meal. Jet lag and deliciousness are a dangerous combination. I also, for the first time, tasted the local coffee. Strong. Almost to the point of heart attack. But undeniably good.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Nap Time (Thank. God.) : Blissful. Uninterrupted. Glorious nap. The best part of the day so far.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Beach Reconnaissance: Strolled down to the beach. The sand was warm, the waves were gentle. Sat and stared at the ocean, thinking about absolutely nothing at all. Just the sound of the waves. The sun. The sheer simplicity of it all. (Moment of zen successfully achieved.)
- 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner: Another explosion of flavors. This time, a seafood BBQ. The prawns were the size of my hand. I ate until I could barely breathe. No regrets.
- 9:00 PM: Early Bedtime: Crashing. Hard. The jet lag finally claimed me.
Day 2: Adventure & a Nearly Fatal Egg Incident
- 8:00 AM (ish): Woke up, feeling vaguely human. Maybe the jet lag was finally loosening its grip!
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Exploring Vung Tau City: Rented a scooter. (Am I crazy? Yes. Do I regret it? Not yet.) We wound our way through the city, dodging traffic, taking in the sights. The White Buddha statue was impressive. But the REAL star? The local street-food scene. I ate everything. (Okay, almost everything). The Banh Mi was out-of-this-world.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Egg Drama (seriously): I went for a quick bite at a local street stall. And I was going to order an amazing egg dish, but the cart owner had a face that looked like he hated me. And I somehow knocked over a basket of raw eggs. They exploded everywhere. I am pretty sure I had one of the worst days of my life.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Recovering: I went back to the hotel and hid. I needed time to process what had happened.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Pool Time (with a side of self-loathing): Needed to relax so went to the hotel pool. It was calming which I desperately needed. I managed to block out the egg incident and remember I was on vacation.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Sunset Stroll & Street Food Round 2: Found a quieter beach, watched the sunset and felt like I'd finally exorcised the spirit of Egg-Gate from my soul. Refueled with more street food. Nem nuong. Amazing. Pho roll. Perfection. This time, no egg-related disasters. Hallelujah!
- 8:00 PM: Dinner: Seafood AGAIN! This time, a restaurant overlooking the beach. More prawns! More deliciousness! I'm starting to think I should just move here and become a professional eater.
Day 3: Serenity, Seafood & Saigon Bound
- 9:00 AM: Sleep in.
- 10:00 AM: Spa Time: Massages. Facials. I emerged a new (and highly oiled) woman.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch: At a cute seafood place. Last-day feels hitting hard. Sigh.
- 2:00 PM: Beach wandering…etc. : One LAST dip in the ocean and I laid on a sunbed for a while.
- 4:00 PM: Check out: Heartbreak.
- 5:00 PM: Taxi to airport: The final moments.
- 7:00 PM: Fly Home: Sad, but happy and more than a little bit full.
Final Thoughts:
The Romeliess Hotel was fantastic. The food? Unforgettable. Vung Tau? Chaotic, beautiful, and utterly charming. Will I return? Absolutely. I'm already dreaming of those prawns. Egg-Gate aside, this trip was a triumph. And now? I'm ready for a long nap. And maybe some antacids. And definitely more travel writing to help me plan the next adventure. Until next time, Vietnam!

So, like, what *is* this whole FAQ thing, anyway? And why the heck are we doing it *this* way?
Why is this so... *opinionated*? Aren't FAQs supposed to be, like, impartial?
Okay, okay... but what *specifically* is the FAQ *about*? What are we even *talking* about here?
What if I disagree with something? Can I yell at you through the screen?
So, how do I *actually* get started on, um, this "thing"?
About that coffee... what's your *specific* method of making coffee? Like, the nitty-gritty details?
Then, the brewing. French press, usually. Because the full-immersion method gets everything. I heat the water to just the right temperature - I have a kettle that *whistles*. No fancy thermometers here. It's a feel thing, a vibe thing, a "been doing this for years" thing. I let it steep for four minutes. And this is critical, this is where people mess up: *gently* press the plunger down. None of that "slam it down like your life depends on it" nonsense. Treat the coffee with respect! I let it sit for a minute while it's brewing.
Then, the pour. A slow, deliberate pour, into a favorite mug, generally one that doesn't have a chip. (I have the chipped ones for when I'm feeling less… delicate). Then, a splash of oat milk and a single spoonful of brown sugar. And then, finally, THE MOMENT. The first sip. Close your eyes. Breathe it in. That is pure joy. Or, you know, at least a good start to the day. And then, most importantly - I drink it in peace, away from screens.
What's the *worst* thing that's ever happened to you? (Feel free to skip this!)
