Having stayed at the various options, Amano'i stands out as by far the best.

Nam Hai is a series of endless steps and water hazards, and what nobody tells you is that the Villa interiors are raised and have the beds, tubs and desks all sunk into this bizarre platform of a sleeping-emailing-bathing experience. Accidents are so common that staff laughs about them.

Con Dao is seriously rustic, with the buggy outdoor bathroom style so loved by its creators, but not by me.

Amano'i is a stunningly designed resort with great food, great spa and service and a real sense of place. No buggy bathrooms, no hazardous steps. It's an easy choice. The Villa homes are especially stunning.

Would I return to Vietnam, though? Only if there was something else of an equal standard to Amano'i, because it is not a hugely welcoming country - more like China than Laos or Cambodia. You have to respect Aman for being able to find staff that care.
