Alibu Resort Nha Trang: Snorkeling & Ocean View (2026)

​

Nha Trang Resort Recommendation

Alibu Resort

​

You want to explore Nha Trang city and

snorkel in the ocean,

but booking a separate island hopping tour can be a hassle, right?

That's why, after comparing options based on proximity to the city,

snorkeling opportunities, and ocean view prices,

I chose Alibu Resort.

If you're looking for a Nha Trang resort where you can snorkel,

check out Alibu Resort's ocean view prices and

this comparison of accommodations in the northern area.

5. Concluding My Travelogue

1. Why I Chose Alibu Resort

There were

three main reasons I chose Alibu Resort.

​

First, its proximity to Nha Trang city!

While Cam Ranh resorts offer everything within their complex,

they are about a 50-minute drive from Nha Trang city.

Alibu Resort, located in the north,

is only about a 15-minute Grab ride from the city center.

So, I arrived on a late-night flight and had a partial overnight stay in Nha Trang city.

I had lunch, enjoyed a massage, did some shopping,

and then headed to Alibu to check in.

​

Second, a resort where snorkeling is possible!

There are three main resorts in Nha Trang

that offer snorkeling.

These are Amiana Cam Ranh, Amiana Nha Trang,

and Alibu Resort.

Among these, if you're looking for great value for money

and a quiet, private atmosphere,

Alibu Resort is an excellent choice.

You can go snorkeling directly from the resort

without needing a separate island hopping tour.

They offer free rentals of masks, life jackets,

and aqua shoes at their private beach.

It's shallow at first and gets deeper as you venture out.

There are hardly any waves, so many families

with children were playing in the shallow areas.

​

Third, Alibu's Ocean View Prices!

Among highly-rated 5-star resorts,

the room rates, including breakfast, are quite reasonable.

Room rates vary depending on the view,

with options like garden view, bungalow, villa, and ocean view.

I stayed in a Premium Ocean View King Room.

Comparing with Amiana Nha Trang for a 1-night ocean view stay for 2 people on Trip.com.

(Garden view rooms are about ~$30-~$37 cheaper than ocean view.)

2. Premium Ocean View King Room Review

I stayed in a Premium Ocean View King Room.

My room was number 633, on the 2nd floor facing the pool.

As soon as I opened the door, I could feel how spacious it was.

The room was 58㎡, giving us plenty of space.

It was so wonderful not to feel cramped at all!

A king-sized bed is perfectly placed in the center of the room.

Alibu Resort's mascot teddy bear

was waiting there, and it was absolutely adorable! ♥

From the bed, you get an immediate ocean view,

and the bed is so large, there's plenty of room for two.

It was just the right level of softness, so no sore back for us!

The wood-toned interior, decorated with natural timber,

and even a palm tree created such a wonderful ambiance.

Plus, there's a sofa and a side table,

making it super convenient for a quick room service meal.

On the balcony, you'll find a bathtub, a table, and chairs,

perfect for relaxing while enjoying the stunning ocean view.

In front of the bed, there's a TV.

I was a little disappointed that the channel selection wasn't very diverse.

To the left of the bed, you'll find a closet and a mini-bar,

and further in, there's the bathroom and toilet.

The closet is equipped with an umbrella, bathrobes, slippers,

a hairdryer, and a safe.

A coffee pot, coffee, and tea bags are also provided,

but please note that mini-bar snacks and refrigerator drinks come with a charge.

​

All basic amenities are thoughtfully provided.

Toothpaste and toothbrushes are also available.

There was even a laundry basket.

Two towels of each type are neatly laid out.

The wood-toned interior created a truly pleasant atmosphere.

​

The sink, shower area, and toilet area are all

separated, making it convenient for individual use.

The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash have pleasant, neutral scents.

They're likely to be agreeable to everyone.

I'd recommend using a filter on the showerhead.

I noticed the filter changed color after just one use!

As it's a popular room, it gets booked up quickly.

3. Breakfast/Dinner & Facilities Review Within the Resort

You might be wondering if you'll get bored

just staying inside Alibu Resort, right?

When you check in, they'll give you their KakaoTalk ID.

For breakfast and dinner times, room service orders,

facility operating hours, beach bar happy hour, and even performance schedules,

you can consult with them in Korean.

This made planning a day's itinerary super easy. ♥

① Snorkeling (Private Beach)

Being able to walk straight from your room to the private beach

makes it incredibly private.

Not having to book a separate island-hopping tour

and being able to snorkel right in front of the resort

was the most convenient part.

They lend masks, life jackets, and aqua shoes for free,

which really lightens your packing load.

If you prefer your own clean gear, it's a good idea to bring it.

​

② Swimming Pools

There are two pools, and the water temperature is just right!

The infinity pool is open until 7 PM, and the main pool

is available until 9 PM.

The infinity pool was a bit deep.

It was perfect for swimming and quite a decent size.

The main pool is right in front of the breakfast restaurant,

making it perfect for a dip right after your meal.

With a shallow area and a kids' pool,

it looked very comfortable for families traveling with children.

Evening swims had a fantastic atmosphere too.

There's a pool bar where you can order drinks.

​

③ Beach Bar

The beach bar right in front of the beach caught my eye.

It happened to be Happy Hour, so I went without hesitation.

I highly recommend enjoying a drink while gazing at the sea.

They also have a free welcome drink hour.

There are live performances too, so keep that in mind~

​

④ Breakfast

​

I didn't have high expectations for breakfast, but the variety was quite impressive.

There's plenty of indoor seating and outdoor seating available.

They make fresh Banh Xeo on the spot, and it's delicious.

The pho was dependably clean and tasty.

There were also many Korean dishes, so even picky eaters

should find something they like.

​

​

⑤ Dinner and Room Service

​

Outside food isn't allowed, so we naturally

headed to the restaurant for dinner.

They had a special dinner menu, which we ordered as a course meal.

It was delicious, but the portions were a bit small.

​

​

During dinner, there were live performances right in front of us,

adding to the overall enjoyment of our day.

​

​

Room service is available until 9:30 PM.

Ordering via KakaoTalk was super convenient.

The menu wasn't extensive, so choices were limited,

but both the food and the options were generally good!

4. Two Other Resorts We Considered

Before choosing Alibu, there were two other resorts in the northern area

that I compared right up until the end.​

---

⭐Amiana Resort Nha Trang

is famous for its private beach snorkeling.

It's a fantastic 5-star resort, and great news, they've also opened one in Cam Ranh!

With three swimming pools and even a mud spa, it's absolutely perfect for those who dream of a resort where everything you need is right at your fingertips.

However, for the same ocean view category, the rates were significantly higher than Alibu.

If snorkeling is high on your Nha Trang wish list and you have a bit more flexibility in your budget, Amiyana could be your perfect match.

⭐ Boma Resort Nha Trang

While it has fewer rooms, this 5-star resort boasts chic interiors and a breakfast spread that's truly a highlight.

Initially, I considered staying at Boma Resort for its great value and then taking a day pass to Amiyana Nha Trang Resort, which is within walking distance, to enjoy some snorkeling.

But then I thought carrying my luggage back and forth between resorts might be a bit cumbersome.

Wanting to handle everything, including snorkeling, at one place, I made up my mind and decided on Alibu.

5. Wrapping Up the Journey

I wanted to enjoy both city sightseeing and snorkeling, so after comparing accommodations in the northern part, I chose Alibu.

Getting to the city center was a breeze with a 15-minute Grab ride, and I could walk directly from my room to the private beach to snorkel without needing a separate island hopping tour.

The Alibu ocean view rates were also much lower than Amiyana, making it much more wallet-friendly.

If you're looking for a fantastic snorkeling resort in Nha Trang, I absolutely recommend Alibu Ocean View!
