Description
Hai Yen has basic bungalows and is truly a backpacker haven being very intimate -- in other words a good place to meet people. It's also cheap, helping lighten the load on the wallet. A selection of rates are available, and you can choose from fan and air-con, single or double -- the rooms don't have hot water. The bungalow interiors are as you would expect for what you pay -- functional. The hotel is situated at the northern end of the beach and the frontage down here is deserted compared to the kite surfing clutter down the coast. Overlooking the ocean is a concrete terrace with parasols and deckchairs, a fantastic place to read a book or sip an evening drink, although it's a shame about the ugly wire fence just in front. Free Internet is provided, and the main strip of restaurants and bars is a five minute drive along the beach road.

Excellent! -

We stayed here for three nights in November 2007. Rooms were spotless and new. We had two double beds, fan and private shower for US$8. And we were a stone's throw from the water which was nice. The restaurant was great (cheap Beer Saigon) and the staff and owners were so sweet. The owner even scolded a xe om driver for overcharging us. I would definitely stay at Hai Yen again.

Hong Di Bungalows
70 Nguyen Dinh Chieu St, Mui Ne Beach
One of the more popular backpacker options in Mui Ne, Hong Di has a bunch of beachfront huts along with rooms in a longhouse setup back off the beach, which are excellent value for Mui Ne. Very friendly staff maintain spotless rooms -- these places really are clean. The garden setting is lush and... more
Small Garden
48 Nguyen Dinh Chieu St, Mui Ne Beach
This charming little backpacker haven just down from Sunsea has bamboo and wooden hexagonal bungalows set in a coconut grove running down to a clean stretch of Mui Ne Beach. The bungalows are obviously well-loved and looked after and the staff here are particularly welcoming. Rooms are clean though... more
Keng
72 Nguyen Dinh Chieu St, Mui Ne Beach
Situated next door to Hong Di, Keng is a good backpacker haven equalling Hong Di on all counts. The rooms, with their semi-firm beds and rather unusual ceiling decor, are spotless and set up in a longhouse style. All face onto the central garden area which is well-shaded and has a common area. As... more
Ngoc Bich
52 Nguyen Dinh Chieu St, Mui Ne Beach
Ngoc Bich has a bunch of hexagonal bamboo and wooden bungalows, identical to those at Small Village, where they are of a better standard. The owner, despite his initially friendly presence, turned out to fib about a range of details such as onward transportation options and has a habit of shouting... more
Mellow Bungalows
117C Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Ham Tien, Phan Thiet
Mellow is run by amiable Englishman Paul and his wife Tien. For those who wish to escape the package tourists and aren't interested in luxury appendages, this is one of the cheapest places in Mui Ne -- an off-the-beach budget jewel. For kite surfers, this place is perfect -- it's a stones throw... more
