A wonderful experience!
Pros:

A stunning view with impressive mountains behind and a turquoise sea in front of my balcony. I highly recommend this resort as well as Condao for those who wish to explore a hidden gem among vast blue ocean, where history and nature are combined perfectly. Thanks a lot !

A truly unforgettable hotel for all of the wrong reasons.
Pros:

The beach outside was nice, but the sun loungers were disgusting. The pool is filthy, children and adults seemed to ignore the algae. Breakfast was ok. Same buffet every morning. No need to book a hotel with ‘private beach’ on Con Dao, there’s more empty beaches than full.

Cons:

The entire hotel is severely rundown. It’s just for Russians, whom I can only assume are getting a great price. I read the reviews before booking, and thought how bad could it be, it’s worse than you could possibly imagine. Most rooms are abandoned, the staff are untrained, bar the one man show who’s simply annoying. It is extremely poor value for money. We ate there once and that was enough to understand why no one else was. You can read from other reviews the multitude of broken/dangerous/filthy parts of the hotel. To top it off, expect to get hassled to leave a positive review after you leave - I can only imagine this is the only reason some reviewers have said good things. You have been warned, stay away.

Pros:

Resort nằm trg khu yên tĩnh tuyệt đối, có view đẹp, cung đường từ thị trấn đi vào đẹp tuyệt vời.
Bữa sáng ngon, ăn trưa/tối giá cả hợp lý, ngon.
Phòng thoáng, sạch.

Cons:

Bãi biển nhỏ, và toàn đá, khu này sóng lớn.
Ko có bãi tắm như ở thị trấn. Vào đây chủ yếu là yên tĩnh thôi.
Nhà vệ sinh ko có nước rửa tay.
Mùa này nhiều ruồi và côn trùng quá lụ, này là điểm trừ. BQL nên có cách hạn chế côn trùng mới được.

Un séjour agréable grâce à un cadre magnifique et une équipe très réactive et adorable, malgré quelques points à amélior
Pros:

Le cadre de l’hôtel est vraiment magnifique, avec une vue depuis la chambre absolument superbe, qui reste sans doute le plus beau point du séjour. La plage privée est un vrai plus et permet de profiter pleinement du lieu. Le petit-déjeuner était également très bon, varié et qualitatif. La piscine est agréable et le reste du séjour s’est globalement bien déroulé.
Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié la gentillesse et la réactivité de la réception, qui a été adorable avec nous tout au long du séjour et particulièrement efficace lorsque nous avons rencontré quelques soucis.

En résumé, un hôtel avec un cadre exceptionnel et beaucoup de potentiel, mais qui nécessite encore quelques améliorations pour être totalement à la hauteur d’un 4 étoiles.

Cons:

Même si nous comprenons que l’hôtel est encore en développement avec des travaux en cours, certains points mériteraient d’être améliorés pour correspondre davantage au standing annoncé. À notre arrivée, nous avons été assez surpris de trouver de nombreux insectes morts dans la chambre, y compris dans le lit. La douche était également bouchée au début du séjour.
La propreté générale pourrait être un peu plus soignée par moments, et les travaux peuvent parfois nuire au calme du lieu. La piscine mériterait aussi un meilleur entretien. Enfin, il n’y a pas de salle de sport.
Le personnel est dans l’ensemble très gentil, même si la communication peut parfois être compliquée en raison de la barrière de la langue et du peu d’employés parlant anglais.

Naprawdę warto polecam.
Pros:

🌴✨ Pobyt w Orson Resort na Con Dao był absolutnie wyjątkowy!
To miejsce ma niesamowity klimat – z jednej strony dzika natura i góry, z drugiej turkusowe morze oraz przepiękna, spokojna plaża. Idealne miejsce, żeby naprawdę odpocząć i oderwać się od świata.

Pokoje przestronne, czyste i z cudownymi widokami na ocean.- jeżeli taki sie weźmie Personel bardzo pomocny serdeczny ,menadżer Nick załatwi wszystko co będziesz potrzebował – od pierwszego dnia czuliśmy się za opiekowani. Śniadania smaczne, świeże i z lokalnymi akcentami, możliwość też zjedzenia przepysznej kolacji na miejscu.

Największy plus? Cisza, prywatna plaża , basen i atmosfera totalnego relaksu. Wieczory przy szumie fal są tutaj niezapomniane 🌊, i widok na krzyż Południa

Jeśli ktoś szuka spokojnego, klimatycznego miejsca na Con Dao – Orson to świetny wybór. Na pewno wrócimy! ❤️

Ok but ....
Pros:

Nick went out of his way to ensure all guests were enjoying their stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was nice, restaurant food was good too. Location lovely but isolated. Bed was comfy.

Cons:

Room #427 - ocean view partly blocked by stairwell turret, shower flooded bathroom due to slope of floor, plus other issues in the room. Hotel not deserving of 4 stars as poorly maintained. Discounted price still overpriced for the quality.

Pros:

Secluded location with private beach.
Amazing views from the pool and beach.
Large and spacious rooms.
Great breakfast buffet.
Nick who is the best hotel manager ever and was a highlight of our trip. He always made you feel looked after.

Cons:

Renovation was happening right next to pool.
Food service is slow and a lot of the staff seem hesitant to interact with non Vietnamese tourist.
Although website had gym facilities listed, this was being renovated at the time of our stay.
Place is in need of minor repairs.

We picked the location away from town so you need a taxi to get into town. Check strict conditions for scooter hire.

Overall we really loved our stay at Orson.

Con Dao Orson
Pros:

The location,on the beach was fantastic.
The manager, Nick - was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The upkeeping of the facility was poor. The premises looks like it needs serious renovation. There is lack of maintenance of the property. It seems that the facility is un-managed.
The staff are useless - they don't understand a word of English.

Ein wundervolles Hotel
Pros:

Wir fanden alles großartig. Ich verstehe die teilweise schlechten Bewertungen gar nicht. Ja, ein paar Dinge müssen noch fertig gebaut werden, aber unser Zimmer war groß, schön und sowohl ohne Ameisen als auch ohne Ratten, die wir NIRGENDS auf dem Gelände sahen!
Nick ist, wie viele bereits erwähnten, immer zur Stelle und hilft, wo er kann. Allerdings widerspreche ich den anderen Aussagen, den Rest der Mitarbeitenden betreffend: es konnten viele Englisch und ALLE waren hilfsbereit und freundlich! Vielleicht lag es daran, dass auch wir freundlich waren?

Great - not bad, not amazing. Stay for the beach and location, not the amenities.
Pros:

The variety and quality of the breakfast buffet was surprisingly good! The private beach cove was absolutely amazing and should be Orson's major selling point. Great for swimming, snorkelling and even flying a kite!

Cons:

Reception desk in the morning shift could use some better training. Simple questions we asked was answered with uncertainty (e.g. renting motorbikes, tours, check-in times) and didn't convey confidence. I just wanted to relax but instead it felt like I was at work again asking follow up questions repeatedly. It would be great if they could be more proactive...

I understand the pool is undergoing renovations but they should really ensure it is safe. Having metal wires poking up in the middle of the deck is a serious tripping hazard (I tripped over it - and no, sticking a coke bottle over it doesn't make it a safety precaution)

Sehr erholsamer Urlaub in Traumgegend
Pros:

Das Orson Hotel liegt abseits aller Orte und ist damit sehr ruhig. Gut ist schon die kostenlose Abholung am Flugplatz sowie das Hinbringen. Der Empfang war sehr nett und begann mit einem Welcome-Drink.
Wir bekamen ein Zimmer im 5. Stockwerk mit einer außerordentlich schönen Aussicht auf Pool und Meer. Das Zimmer war mit 65 m² inklusive eines riesigen Balkons sehr groß. Das Bad war sowohl mit einer großen Wanne als auch einem vielseitigen Duschpaneel ausgestattet.
Obwohl das Hotel gut ausgebucht war, blieb es immer ruhig.
Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und sehr gut mit vielen Früchten. Auch das sonstige Essen war vielseitig und sehr schmackhaft. Wir hatten 8 Nächte gebucht und das Glück am vorletzten Abend an einem reichhaltigen BBQ mit vielen Meeresfrüchten frisch vom Grill teilnehmen zu können. Besonders hilfreich war NICK, der uns immer wieder mit eigenen Getränke- und Eisdessert-Kreationen überraschte. Auch bei der Essensauswahl war er sehr hilfreich. Eistee mit Früchten und
Eiswasser standen den ganzen Tag kostenlos zur Verfügung
Außerordentlich nett war auch der Hotelbesitzer Alex Trong, der uns schon beim Frühstück persönlich begrüßte und auch sonst immer mit seiner natürlicher Ausstrahlung zur Verfügung stand.
Der Pool war extrem groß mit einer Wassertemperatur von geschätzt 29 °C immer zum Schwimmen einladend. Zwei eingebaute Whirlpools ergänzten die Wohlfühlmomente.
Das Meer war extrem sauber und hatte nahezu die gleiche Temperatur wie der Pool. Allerdings war der Sandstrand nur bei Ebbe frei. Aber auch bei Flut konnte man bequem ins Wasser gehen und hatte ein großes Stück nur sauberen Sand unter den Füssen. Die Liegen am Pool hatten bequeme Polster und Strand-Tücher gab es ohne Einschränkungen.

Cons:

Einige kleinere Punkte, die unseren Aufenthalt aber nicht störten:
-im Zimmer gab es nur eine Ablage für unsere 2 Trolleys
-die Poolbar war noch nicht ganz fertig
-der am Strand gesammelte Müll sollte öfter aus den Mülleimern geleert werden
-am Pool und Strand gibt es Sandfliegen
