“Great for camping”
+This resort have a best beach in Hotram area, I love to come here just because of peacefull place and a lot of tree in the beach. There villa is old and the food is not so good, you can choose this for the family gathering and you should cook by yourself (they have kitchen and full of cookware). To me, they are the best place in Hotram for camping (safe, fresh water, price).

“Only from the outside because we didn't stay!”
+We have booked this resort for Têt holidays as we have a dog and read good reviews about this pet friendly place ... Unfortunately, once we arrived there (not easy to find) we were surprised to see the path to the hotel was narrow and stony. It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but wilderness, far from restaurants or shops or anything. We assumed guests should be stuck at the hotel for dinner because noboby would drive back there at night as there's almost no street light. There are some bungalows by the river and others by the sea. The beach is unattended, neglected, dirty and full of detritus. The bungalows on the beachfront are way more spooky like deserted, not a living soul, no securiry guard, nobody ... We really couln't stay there so we made a U-turn and fled!!!
“Great weekend escape!”
+We loved our weekend at River Ray! I went with a couple friends and my dog, and we all had a lovely time. Very relaxing at the pool and the beach. We even got upgraded to a sweet villa! The staff we great and it was nice to see other people there with their dogs. But the resort area was still clean! The only downside was that the beach is covered in plastic (not the reaort’s fault!) and there was a loud camping group nearby playing extremely loud music. I never really understood if they were part of the resort or not. Overall, we had an excellent time and will definitely be back!! Oh!! I left something small at the villa and the owner had it shipped to me ASAP, such great service :)
“Great with dogs but very local”
+We have been before at River Ray and enjoyed it again. As we always bring our dog we have to stay in the Wooden House, which we like. Only this time the mattresses haven't been very comfortable. Maybe some more offer for breakfast would be good. Even I do not mind to have only Omlet or Pho. But we had my cousin with us who was first time in VN and for her it wasn't so easy. And beach should be cleaned. We are aware that there has been some flooding and heavy rain, but the beach is just too dirty to use it. Good to walk the dog but not for bathing. Drove to the Vung Tau beach instead.

“Ghostly Resort”
+We live in Vietnam and have seen a lot of crazy places so I can say this with confidence , our stay here was plain weird. We arrived early afternoon on a Saturday -- taking a 600K VND Grab car from the Greenlines Ferry terminal in Vung Tau. On the surface, the place looks great. The pool is beautiful, the beach is long and deserted, the buildings seem in good repair. But there was no one staying there. After a couple of hours it began to feel spooky. We had booked rooms in the wooden houses overlooking the river but got upgraded to beach front villas at no extra cost. There was no explanation for the move although other friends later told us that they were moved to the beach because the less expensive rooms near the river had a rat problem. We saw no rats during our stay but we did not see the wooden houses either. There was an extensive lunch menu although it became clear that only a few things were on offer. What we had was good value. Three of us ordered simple plates of stir fried beef, bean sauce pork etc and were stuffed at the end of the meal. The vegetables were crisp, fresh and delicious. Beer was available but there was no wine. We had the pool to ourselves, of course. It

“A remote and quiet place”
+We were upgraded to a villa even thought we booked for the wooden House since the ad said everything else was full. The resort was completely empty. We were the only guests. We enjoyed the upgrade. The villa was spacious, the bathroom needed updating. The beach was littered with garbage even though it was a beautiful stretch of sand. The pool is lovely. The restaurant provided few choices since there were no guests other than us. It felt like a ghost town. Limited food, no reception to speak of. For breakfast we were promptly told we only have bread and eggs. The resort has potential but it did not deliver on this occasion.

“Failed Potential”
+The property was in a secluded area and the beach was okay. However, the property wasn't poorly maintained and infested with mosquitoes, mainly because of the pool (still water attracts mosquitoes, should at least have anti mosquito torches by the dinning area). The room was okay, but the cabin hadn't lots of holes for mosquitoes to crawl through. The only preventive measures taken is a mosquito net over the bed. Not a great experience.

“Great Hyde away from HCMC”
+Spent only one night but could have stayed for a week. Take the boat to Vung Tau (pleasant 90 minutes journey from Saigon). Drive 40 minutes or so to resort and enjoy peace and quiet away from hussle and bustle of HCMC. You can continue enjoying Vietnamese street food and shopping only 30 minutes away from resort. The accommodation we had was a seafront unit in one of the villas. Found unit to be very comfortable: lots of room, excellent bedding. Although bathroom showing its age, it was perfectly adequate. Beach front units are relaxing: listening to the wind through the trees and the waves breaking on the beach, watching the fisherman in their tiny soup bowl type embarkation. Walk along sandy beach and just breath fresh air. Resort's swimming pool is large and over looks the river. Top spot to relax with a book. We enjoyed lunch at the resort: local produce, freshly caught seafood. No pretence of haute cuisine, just simple and healthy vietnamese cooking. The mini spring rolls a real treat. Staff only too happy to please you. Don't be put off by the perceived remoteness. It is a big plus if you wish to experience the more rural side of Vietnam. It is an easy get away from HCMC and

“Off the beaten path”
+The River Ray Estates Resort is situated on a beautiful piece of property right next to the ocean and a river. The land is absolutely beautiful, and the peace, quiet, and solitude make this resort a great destination for those who want to escape the city life. For me, however, it was a bit too secluded and far away from civilization. Fortunately, there was a restaurant on site, although it was outside and very hot. From the outside, the resort looks well maintained and clean; however, the interior seemed to receive less attention. I understand that replacing major appliances or furniture can be costly, so I tend not to be fussy over those sorts of things, but the bathroom needed some work. The blinds that should cover the large window in the wall of the bathtub were falling apart and impossible to close. Anyone from the outside could look into the window, especially at night, which made me uncomfortable. When I booked this resort, I was under the impression that they had airport transportation. I had to take multiple cabs and vans to get to the resort, which cost me over 1,250,000 VND. My suggestion - take the hydrofoil! I will say that I did appreciate the resort's flexibility abo
