Whale Island Bungalows: small bungalows on the beach

The only accommodation option on Whale Island doesn't come at a cheap price... most stay in bungalows, but families or groups can stay in a larger house-style construction, which is a little bit cheaper... Forget the photos on their website, the bungalows are more basic than it is shown: a bed, a bedside table, a fan and a little shelf... no window, well, a wooden one that doesn't quite close (but opens up really well)... while they are OK for a short stay, for sure they are not good value for money. I guess that one pays for the wonderful location rather than for the lace where you sleep.

Unique Qualities: Right by the beach... a few steps and you are in the water. Moreover there's quite some distance between bungalows, so that you can have all the privacy that you need.

A bungalow for two people, including transfer from Nha Trang and 3 meals a day cost 135 dollars for 1 night (garden view) or 160 dollars (sea view), for 2 nights 205 dollars (garden view) or 255 dollars (sea view) and for 3 nights 270 dollars (garden view) or 345 dollars (sea view). The longer you stay, the cheaper the price... but never very cheap.
