Escape to Paradise: Ruby Villa's 11-Bedroom Vung Tau Haven!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the chaotic, glorious, and potentially sunburned world of Escape to Paradise: Ruby Villa's 11-Bedroom Vung Tau Haven! This isn't your usual sanitized hotel review; we're going full-blown real here. Think less brochure, more blurry vacation photos with questionable captions.
(Disclaimer: I haven't actually stayed there. But I've spent hours researching, imagining, and basically becoming one with this freakin' villa. Consider me your armchair travel buddy.)
First Impressions (and the Panic That Sets In):
Eleven bedrooms?! Eleven freaking bedrooms! My first thought wasn't, "Ooh, luxury!" It was, "Dear God, who’s going to control this many people? Is there a designated chaperone? Do they offer therapy?" Okay, maybe I'm projecting my own family vacation trauma. But seriously, this place screams "epic get-together," which also translates to "potential for absolute chaos."
Accessibility - A Decent Start (But Room for Improvement!)
Alright, let's get the practical stuff out of the way. Accessibility. This is crucial for a smooth vacation, so let's see. They do mention "Facilities for disabled guests." That's a start. But "facilities" could mean anything from a ramp at the entrance to a fully adapted room. I pray for the latter, but I can't confirm it. Ideally, I'd want to see clear details about ramps, elevators, accessible bathrooms, and what amenities they specifically offer. Also, it would be great to know if the "Elevator" is available for Guest access.
Internet - The Lifeblood of Modern Vacationing
Okay, here's the good news: "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" Rejoice! We NEED this to Google the nearest noodle stall at 2 AM. "Internet access – wireless" AND "Internet access – LAN". They’re covering all bases, which means you can connect your vintage laptop (because, let's be honest, some of us are still rocking that thing) or just binge-watch Netflix in your pajamas. Very important.
The Relaxation Rundown - Seriously, Where Do I Start?
Okay, take a deep breath. Because this is where Ruby Villa really shines… or at least tries to. They've got a laundry list of ways to chill out. Let's break it down:
- Pool with view: This intrigues me. A pool and a view? Yes, please! This is the kind of thing that screams for Instagram glory, so you have to find a good angle.
- Spa: Ah, the spa. Massages (yes!), body scrubs (yes!), body wraps (maybe, depending on how much I've eaten that day).
- Sauna, Steamroom: Need to de-stress? this makes sense! These are places to get sweaty and think about deep things, or just sweat. I choose to sweat.
- Gym/fitness: Gotta burn off all those delicious meals somehow!
- Foot Bath: Yes! My tired feet are already singing praises. The things to do part of it. Things to do: Okay, I'm assuming (hoping) Ruby Villa is near the beach. Vung Tau is on the coast. That means you might want to take a swim or a little walk along the beach. There are also a few other activities in the nearby area:
- Bicycle Parking: If you want to get fresh air, it is possible to rent a bike as well.
- Shrine: The list of things to do include a shrine, it's a good idea to visit and learn about vietnamese culture.
Cleanliness and Safety - Because Nobody Wants the Vacation Flu
Okay, let's get real. This is 2024. Hygiene is everything. Here's what they offer in terms of safety and cleanliness:
- "Anti-viral cleaning products": Good!
- "Daily disinfection in common areas": Excellent!
- "Hand sanitizer": A must!
- "Room sanitization opt-out available": Smart. Some people are paranoid (understandably!).
- "Rooms sanitized between stays": Crucial.
- "Safe dining setup": Another good one to know.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - My Personal Priorities
Alright, folks, this is where I get really invested. Food is my love language. And the list is… comprehensive:
- Restaurants: plural! Thank the heavens!
- Asian cuisine in restaurant: Must-try!
- International cuisine in restaurant: Variety is the spice of life, eh?

I'm in!
- Bottle of water: hydration!
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Make a Huge Difference

Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your meticulously planned, color-coded travel guide. This is… my brain, unfiltered, trying to wrangle a Big Family Vung Tau Ruby Villa 11 trip into something resembling a schedule. Prepare for chaos. And maybe some tears. Mostly from laughter, hopefully.
Vung Tau… Here We Go (Or Maybe Not)
The Premise (Read: The Disaster Awaits): Ruby Villa 11. Vung Tau. Big family. Think: 15+ people, spanning ages from "barely breathing" to "can’t remember breathing." This is less a vacation and more a logistical exercise in herding cats. My cats… are armed with toddlers.
Sunday: Arrival & The Great Luggage Avalanche
- 09:00 AM: Wake up, or more accurately, get woken up by a small human ninja kicking me in the face. Ah, the joys of big families. Pack the car. Struggle to fit 17 suitcases, 2 strollers, a mountain of snacks (because HANGRY is the enemy), and the existential dread of the impending car journey.
- 10:00 AM: The Great Highway Odyssey Begins! (Cue dramatic music). Traffic. Oh, the traffic. Learn the true meaning of patience when stuck behind a parade of motorbikes and slow-moving trucks. My inner monologue is screaming. My outer monologue… is probably also screaming, apologies to anyone who could hear me.
- 11:00 AM - 01:00 PM: Roadside stops. Toilet breaks that take the time of the trip. And the inevitable "Are we there yets?" from the kids. My sanity, it waivers. I have the urge to start screaming.
- 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM: Arrive at Ruby Villa 11! (Cue: Collective sigh of relief, followed by the sound of a thousand people clamoring for a room). I think I saw the sea. I also think it was an illusion, caused by sunstroke. Unpack: The Great Luggage Avalanche! The scene in front me, it resemble in a post-nuclear disaster, only instead of radiation, we have plastic toys.
- 03:00 PM: Assess the villa. Is it as advertised? Nope. But close enough, thank goodness. Discover that the pool is NOT, in fact, a giant jacuzzi as I'd hoped. More like… a lukewarm puddle with questionable leaves. Also, someone tried to claim the best room. Aunts at war. I choose a room with a window, good enough.
- 04:00 PM: Unpack. The task is eternal.
- 05:00 PM: Snack Break. Because we're all hangry, and chaos thrives when we have low blood sugar. Discover we forgot the ALL the peanut butter. Rage. Briefly considers leaving the family for a life of solitude on a deserted island.
- 06:00 PM: The kids are swimming, it's still too warm and the sun is setting, which makes the water look kinda like shimmering gold, which is nice. I watch them.
- 07:00 PM: Dinner! The organized chaos of feeding a large family. Grilled seafood, local delicacies, and the inevitable food fight. I get splattered with prawn juice. It tastes like… happiness, actually.
- 08:00 PM: Bedtime (theoretically). But kids, right? More like the kids are running around the villa, screaming.
- 09:00 PM: Collpase.
- 10:00 PM: Realize I forgot to buy mosquito spray, spend the rest of the night being eaten alive.
Monday: Beach Day & The Sandcastle Catastrophe
- 07:00 AM: Wake up to another little kick. Coffee! Coffee is the answer!
- 08:00 AM: Head to the beach! Pack the essentials: sunscreen (tons!), towels (all of them!), and a vague idea of how to wrangle small humans in the sand. My expectations are low.
- 09:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Beach Time: The sand! The sea! The chaos! The sand is everywhere, but the sea looks spectacular in the morning. The kids build sandcastles that are immediately destroyed by rogue waves. Auntie Sue gets sunburnt. I build the most epic sandcastle of my life. It’s amazing. Then a kid kicks it over. I have a small cry.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch! Another food fight. (I'm starting to see a pattern here).
- 01:00 PM: Naptime for the babies. Or, you know, the adults in the family trying to escape the chaos.
- 02:00 PM: The Great Beach Clean-up. Sand in everything. I find a lost flip-flop. I find another. I wonder if I have all the ones in the house.
- 03:00 PM: Ice cream run! A moment of blissful peace. Until the ice cream melts all over the kids' hands.
- 04:00 PM: Back to the villa. Pool time (the lukewarm puddle!). The kids are fighting each other and it's too noisy.
- 05:00 PM: Take some time for myself to write in the journal.
- 07:00 PM: Another family dinner. This time, pizza. Thank God.
- 08:00 PM: Movie night! Watch a kids' movie at the sofa. Peace and quiet, if you don't include the kids talking from the movie.
- 09:00 PM: Bed. I crawl into bed, wondering if I can just stay here forever.
Tuesday: Diving & Seafood Extravaganza (Emphasis on Extravaganza)
- 08:00 AM: Scramble this day. I wanted to go diving because I saw a shop on the beach.
- 09:00 AM: Head out. The car is still there.
- 11:00 AM: Check the place.
- 12:00 PM: Food. Eat.
- 03:00 PM: Diving.
- 06:00 PM: Back to the villa.
- 07:00 PM: Dinner! Seafood at a local restaurant. The seafood is fresh, the ambiance is lively, and the bill… oh god, the bill. Worth it. I ate everything. Calamari, prawns, crab, fish… pure decadent bliss. I'm pretty sure I saw the chef watching me, amused.
- 08:00 PM: Evening fun! Karaoke. The worst. The best. My Auntie Mai belted out a power ballad, hitting notes I didn't know existed. Pure, unadulterated joy. We all start crying. A family tradition.
- 09:00 PM: More karaoke. Repeat.
- 10:00 PM: Bedtime. I can't stop singing.
- 11:00 PM: Still can't stop singing.
Wednesday: The Markets and The Regret
- 09:00 AM: More Markets! Let's go explore.
- 10:00 AM: Shopping!
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. The markets, the fish sauce…
- 02:00 PM: Back to the villa. Start packing for departure.
- 04:00 PM: Realize I've spent all the money on souvenirs I didn't need. Panic sets in. Regret the giant ceramic dragon statue.
- 05:00 PM: More packing.
- 07:00 PM: Dinner!
- 08:00 PM: Watch the sunset.
- 09:00 PM: Bed.
Thursday: Departure & The Long Drive Home (And the inevitable "Are We There Yet?" encore)
- 07:00 AM: Goodbye to the sea.
- 08:00 AM: Pack!
- 09:00 AM: Leave the villa.
- … The Drive…
- … The Traffic…
- … The Snacks…
- …The kids…
- 10:00 PM: Home. Collapse.
