Description
A restaurant that grew some bungalows, My Lan has simple wood and concrete bungalows with open-to-the-sky bathrooms, which, while probably looking good on the plans were a bit the worse for ware when we visited. Simply furnished with a cupboard and low-lying bed, the bungalows are ok value overall, particularly when you consider how lovely the beach is. At lunchtime the place is often over-run as the beachfront section is given over to a large restaurant, but in the rest of the day you'll have the place to yourself -- just remember their beachfront bungalows are not really beachfront. We'd expect the prices to increase in high season, but staff wouldn't tell us the rates.

A midagede couple like us had a wounderfoul time at My Lan. The atmosphere made it natural to choose wheather you wanted to be on your own or if you wanted to enjoy company of other geusts.
Truely serviceminded staff and a good food.
The bungalows are allright, compared with the price, 12$.
What to do? Just lay back in the hammocks.
A Truly Enjoyable Place to Stay -

We are supposed to avoid hyperbole when posting on travelfish, so I will try to be objective here. We stayed at My Lan for one week and it was very hard to leave.
If you like fresh, cheap seafood, why not stay at a seafood resteraunt? The bungalows are clean and breezy, mosquito nets are provided, and each bungalow has a porch perfect for watching the sun rise while you sip some hot tea or eat fresh fruit (ask the staff and they'll cut up the fruit you buy at the market).
Right now, My Lan is the only place you can sleep on Bai Sao. There is one other resteraunt on the beach but that is it. My Lan's staff is young and sweet, and we had several hilariuos evenings teaching spontaneous English lessons to several of the waiters who were thrilled to have us write down how to spell the colors of the ranbow and explain the difference between boy and man; girl and woman.
Every day about lunch time, the resteraunt fills up with suckers (sorry) who are staying at much much more expensive places on the main strip of beach on the West coast of Ph uQuoc, but they are being taken on a day trip down to what we started to think of as ''our'' cute little beach. After lunch, they all left, and it was ours again!
The staff are mainly concerned with running the resteraunt, so if you need your sheets changed or pillows fluffed or your bathroom cleaned every day, don't stay at My Lan. But if you like walking on the beach, eating great food, and having plenty of hammocks all to yourself, this is definitely the place.
We can't wait to go back, and there's nowhere we'd rather stay.
