C么n 膼岷�o belongs to B脿 R峄媋 - V农ng T脿u but unlike VT, mas tourism has never been the goal for the island.聽 The 15-year Master Plan, approved a few years ago, is to *very slowly* increase access to the island while still maintaining its unique spirituality and not creating any damage to its natural condition.聽

I applaud the unusual but wise move to protect the island from being inundated with inexpensive accommodations and restaurants.聽 The island cannot handle that, and the locals certainly cannot handle that.聽

The quality of life on the island is the best now than it has ever been, so saying the local businesses were affected by the lack of tourists is completely untrue.聽 聽The majority of income still comes from its fishing and n瓢峄沜 m岷痬 industry, not from tourism.聽 Even though there are much more tourists now than the island has seen in the last 20 years , you'll not see hotels, especially nh脿 ngh峄�, springing up like mushrooms anytime soon.

I've had some advice from a friend who taught English on Con Dao about 12 or 13 years ago, so don't have any high-level expectations, anyway - although the Con Dao Resort looks every bit as modern as anything we've got in Vung Tau!

Expect away, Martin, because some hotels cost a whole lot more than VT.聽 聽Six Senses, for instance, charges between $800 - $1000/night for your family of 2 adults and 1 child, oceanfront and your own private pool.聽 聽That's not the most expensive unit, however.聽 You'll have to pay triple that price to book the best one they have.聽

I don't have any recommendation because the 2 times we were there, the family rented a house and shared it with us.

...Two of our VN rels have opted out of the trip already because they're worried about seasickness - even though it's a hydrofoil and theoretically(!) should be smooth sailing.

Simple cure; painful to some:

Keep your eyes on the horizon.

That means, stow the smartphones and tablets and reading material for the ENTIRE trip.

Don't give children toys which require them to focus on what's in their hands.

Also, don't go to sleep.

Ever notice that drivers don't get "car sick"?

They are the one person in the car scanning the horizon all the time and (hopefully) staying awake, looking at everything except (rarely) their hands.

Did I read that right.聽 聽 Those prices should rather effectively limit the number of visitors.聽 You can stay in the most expensive hotels in Hawaii for those prices.聽 聽

Six Senses is a luxury 5-star hotel with locations in selected cities throughout SEA and Europe.聽 for Monday night.聽 The smallest unit (all of them are called villas) is 194m2 with private pool but only sleep 2 adults.聽 The most expensive unit, sleep 6 (3 bedroom), 542m2, is $3050 for the same night.
