We flew into Saigon then had a few hours drive to Mui Ne, the kite surfing capital of Asia.
We stayed at the Anantara Resort.
Highlight was playing in the sand dunes
We loved this Italian joint for pizza and pasta
in Phan Thiet,
57 Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street
Good Morning Vietnam is the name of the place
Friend recommended GRACE BOUTIQUE RESORT
and said:
And then we were only there for a couple of days, but we did a 4:00 am wake-up to get to the white sand dunes in time for the sunrise, and it was amazing! We actually did a jeep tour (organized by Van at the Grace Boutique Resort) of the white sand dunes, the yellow sand dunes, a little fishing village which was cool, and then a 1/2 mile walk in a river that was just a few inches deep to a little waterfall. It was an amazing 1/2 day.

I went to Phan
Tiet for a conference about two years ago and really enjoyed the mood
there. It is a typical beach town in that it is quiet, calm, and not too
busy. One of the reasons it is not too busy is because it is someone of
a hike to get there. The drive from Saigon is about 5 hours but it is
not a casual or fun experience. The road is very congested with trucks
which have no problem swerving into oncoming traffic and taking over
your lane. Hopefully you will have a hired driver and car that will
drive responsibly and will not resort to driving like the big trucks.
Another tip, don't do the drive at night which can be even more
harrowing.
Once you are in Phan
Tiet/Mui Ne, the weather should be very nice. It is one of the world's
best locations for kite surfing so if you have ever wanted to try it,
that will be the place. There are also the dunes which I have heard are a
lot of fun although I didn't have time to go see them myself. I am sure
the kids will enjoy running/falling/sliding down the hills for hours. I
am not sure what else there is to do there but I am sure your resort
can provide some ideas. Maybe a boat trip? Snorkeling? Just relaxing on
the beach?

I'm sure you have your Vietnam trip all planned, but I recently skyped with my friend who did Mui Ne this summer, and thought I'd pass along her thoughts. They showed us pictures of the sunrise in the sand dunes and it looked absolutely incredible.
Hey-
I said I would send this over just in case
your friend wanted to hear a random person's opinion on lodging in Mui
Ne. We stayed at the Grace Boutique Resort (which was really just
a glorified B&B...I think there were 12 ish rooms?) It was
beautiful and the staff was SO nice. It has amazing reviews on
Tripadvisor, so I know we're not alone:

I want to do it all again! The beach outside of the
Grace Boutique Resort wasn't amazing, but we were really okay lounging
by the pool anyway. You and Nate really need to get over there!
Love,
