we stayed in shades over the lunar new year, so we were originally concerned with the price-but the apartment was great. we were in a beachfront 1 bedroom apartment which was huge and the sounds of the waves almost deafening... until you close the door which is double glazed and you barely hear a thing! really good apartment, great pool(albeit...

After travelling with our two daughters (5 and 7) around Central and Southern Vietnam, we were so relieved and happy to land at Shades for some complete R&R. We stayed in the family unit on the ground floor, where our girls could come and go to the pool as they pleased and we could relax right on the ocean front... More

We recently stayed at Shades, with a 2yo son for a short holiday. We ended up staying longer than planned, it was so enjoyable. The apartments are excellent,a nd very well kitted out. Te hosts Sharon, Vaughan and all their staff are helpful and friendly. The location couldnt be better. Thanks for a great stay, More

We are a family with 2 boys 10/11 and just stayed there for 4 nights. In Vietnam we heard Mui Ne could have (a) lots of mosquitoes and (b) be a bit like Chaweng (Samui) etc, eg very crowded with low-end tourism. Well ..... nothing of that in Shades!! First of all it's in a central but relatively quiet spot... More

I have to apologize to Vaughan and Sharon for the delay in writing this review. My friend and I stayed in the Penthouse for a month in June 2010.

My husband, 17 year old son and I were in Mui Ne in late Nov for 8 nights. We had visited Mui Ne 7 years ago when it was literally just a fishing village. We were pleasantly surprised that these days, there are so many resorts to choose from. We selected Shades as it was highly ranked on tripadvisor and... More

My partner & I have just spent 4 nights at Shades. Very relaxed, modern, clean, right on the beach, swimming pool, yummy breakfast also great alternative eating places & bars, a stones throw away.

Personally, I do not like reading 5-star reviews, as they are normally exaggerated and / or biased. This hotel however, fully deserves 5 stars and nothing else. This boutique hotel (only 9 rooms!) is the best I have stayed in for a very long time. Everything is amazing in this place: - World-class service by charming Sharon &Vaughan from New... More
