Escape to Paradise: Texas Corner Resort, Phan Thiet's Hidden Gem
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the chaotic, beautiful, and hopefully-not-too-sticky world of Escape to Paradise: Texas Corner Resort, Phan Thiet's Hidden Gem! Forget those perfectly curated Instagram shots; I'm here to tell you the REAL story, warts and all. (And trust me, I looked hard for the warts… though, you know, a little bit of Phan Thiet humidity always keeps things… interesting, haha!)
First Impressions: Getting There and Getting In (Accessibility - or Lack Thereof, Ugh!)
Okay, so the whole getting there situation isn’t exactly a walk in the park (unless you're a park ranger with a helicopter, in which case, I’m jealous). Accessibility… well, it's a mixed bag. I’m not a wheelchair user myself, but it's clear there are some limitations. The review mentions "Facilities for disabled guests," which is good in theory. I did see an elevator, which is a massive plus. Just be sure to confirm specifics on accessible rooms and routes before you book. Honestly, a resort that truly prioritizes accessibility gets bonus points in my book!
The Wifi Whisperer and Internet Adventures (Internet Access and All Those Techy Bits!)
Let’s talk about the thing that keeps us all from pulling our hair out: the internet. "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" Yes! And it generally worked, bless its little electronic heart. I even managed to upload a selfie of me looking utterly windswept (thanks, Phan Thiet wind!) without wanting to chuck my phone into the ocean. They offer Internet [LAN] too – for those who are old school like me. I'm sure, in the Business Center there is also Xerox/fax! This is a big deal in a place where the wind is your main distraction.
Rooms: My Own Little Sanctuary (or, Where I Learned to Love Blackout Curtains)
Right, let's talk about the rooms. Honestly, they were pretty darn great. Clean, well-appointed (that "desk" was actually functional!), and with all the usual suspects: air conditioning (a lifesaver!), mini-bar (hello, late-night snacks!), and a safe for my, ahem, valuables (mostly just my passport and a rather embarrassing collection of souvenirs). My room had a perfectly functional "window that opens" – that’s a win in my book, because I hate feeling trapped. Pro-tip: Those "Blackout curtains"? Amazing. Seriously, they're a godsend. Perfect for sleeping in after a long day of…well.. doing nothing and just enjoying the pool.
Dining, Drinking, and Decadence (Food, Glorious Food!)
Okay, this is where things get really interesting. The resort has quite a few restaurants, "Restaurants," "coffee shop," "Poolside bar," and "Snack bar," that makes this place the perfect choice for people who want to drink all night. And don't forget "Asian breakfast" and "Western breakfast" or "Salad in restaurant" and "Soup in restaurant." "Bottle of water" is available in all room and there's plenty more of "essentials condiments" to use.
I did not venture to the “Vegetarian restaurant,” it was a missed opportunity! Though I did experience the "Happy hour" at the "Poolside bar." Pure bliss while watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand.
Things to Do: From Chill Vibes to Full-On Pampering
This is where Escape to Paradise truly shines. "Swimming pool [outdoor]" - check! It's gorgeous. Seriously, the pool with a view is breathtaking, with plenty of space to lounge around and soak up the sun. I spent a significant amount of time there… let's just say my tan is coming along nicely.
Now, for the "Spa" and "Spa/sauna". I did what I came to do. I booked a massage. And let me tell you, that body scrub and body wrap? Heaven. Honestly, best decision I made all week. The therapist was a dream. And the price? Shockingly reasonable. I emerged feeling like a brand new human. They also have a "Foot bath," that I regrettably didn't try, though. It was tempting.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Covid-Era Reality
Let's be real, we're all a bit obsessed with cleanliness and safety these days. Happy to report, Escape to Paradise seems to take it seriously. They mention "Anti-viral cleaning products", "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," and the staff are trained in safety protocol. They certainly went above and beyond. Yes, there were things like "Hand sanitizer" and "Masks," but I can actually say I felt safe. They even offer "Room sanitization opt-out available" which is a nice touch.
The Staff: Smiles and Service (And a Little Language Barrier, Sometimes)
The staff? Generally lovely. Friendly, helpful, and always eager to please. However, the English wasn't perfect across the board. No worries, though. A smile and a bit of pointing got us mostly through everything. They genuinely seem to care.
Now, the Imperfections… Because, Hello, Reality!
- The Beach (Kinda): Okay, the beach isn't exactly pristine. It's a bit of a walk, and depending on the tide, it can get a little… well, let's just say not every stretch is postcard-perfect.
- The Location: It's a bit removed from the heart of Phan Thiet. This is good if you want peace and quiet, which I certainly did. But if you’re craving nightlife, you'll be relying on taxis.
- Getting Around: While they offer "Airport transfer," "Car park [free of charge]," and "Taxi service," moving around is no easy feat. Try your best.
The Verdict: Is Escape to Paradise Really a Hidden Gem?
Honestly? Yes, with a few caveats. It's not perfect. It's not a five-star luxury experience. But it's charming, relaxing, and offers a genuinely lovely escape. The pool is incredible, the spa is divine, the staff are friendly. And that feeling of tranquility? Priceless.
My Quibbles & Quirks
- I wish they had more vegan options.
- More outdoor seating with good view wouldn't hurt!
- This place really should have a water slide.

Broadbeach Paradise: Stunning Lvl 19 AirBnB w/ Gold Coast Views!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my brain and then into the chaotic, glorious mess that is a trip to Texas Corner Resort in Phan Thiet, Vietnam. This isn't your meticulously planned, Instagram-perfect itinerary. This is the raw, unfiltered truth of what happens when a slightly-unhinged travel enthusiast (me!) hits the road. Consider this your pre-emptive apology for the tangents, emotional outbursts, and general lack of organizational skill. Let's go!
Day 1: Arrival & Sandcastle Dreams (and Meltdown)
- Morning (aka: the hellscape otherwise known as the airport): We land in Ho Chi Minh City and…oh my god. The heat hits you like a brick wall, the jet lag is kicking your ass, and you suddenly realize you've forgotten to pack that vital thingymajig (for me, it's always my toothbrush adapter). The cab ride to the airport is a blur of honking scooters, vibrant chaos, and me clinging to the seat like my life depends on it. Arrival to Phan Thiet is a rollercoaster of emotions, I hope I will feel less stressed after arrive at the hotel.
- Afternoon: Texas Corner Check-In & Initial Wonders: We arrive at Texas Corner. The air is thick with the promise of beach bliss. My first impression? "Okay, not bad…" Then it's a frenzy checking. After all the stress, there's a pool! I am obsessed with the pool. Someone get me a cocktail, stat! This place is so relaxed, I could get used to this.
- Early Evening: The Beach, the Sand, and the Existential Dread: And then…the beach! Sigh. The sand is the perfect color and texture. I see the waves crashing while I get in. The sun begins to set while I am still in the cool water. Everything is quiet and I could stay still for a while.
Day 2: Kiteboarding Catastrophe (and Glorious Redemption)
- Morning: The Kiteboarding Debacle: Okay, so I decided I would try kiteboarding. I'm thinking, "How hard can it be?". Turns out, very, very hard! Picture this: me, flailing about in the water like a particularly inept seal, the kite doing its best to launch me into orbit, and the instructor trying not to burst out laughing. I spend more time underwater than on top. My ego is bruised, my limbs are aching, and I am covered in more sand than a sandcastle convention. I'm pretty sure I swallowed half the ocean. I almost fell. I have a little fear of heights too. But I got it! I managed to finally get on the board and go! After a lot of failing, it was wonderful.
- Afternoon: Seaside Savasana & Sunset Serendipity: I deserved it. I retreated to the beach, laid down on my towel, and closed my eyes. The sound of the waves is so meditative and soothing. The wind on my skin is a welcome balm. Then it was all about the sunset! The best part. I never get tired of sunsets at the beach.
Day 3: Seafood, Scams, and the Search for Happiness
- Morning: Mui Ne Market Mayhem: A trip to the local Mui Ne market beckoned. I was warned about the haggling but I was optimistic. The local markets is bustling with activity. I ended up with a ridiculous hat and a severe headache from the bartering wars. I now know how much I am willing to pay and what I don't need.
- Afternoon: Seafood Feast & Food Coma: The seafood, though…oh, the seafood! Everything is fresh, grilled to perfection, and bursting with flavor. I'm talking grilled tiger prawns the size of my hand, succulent squid, and enough crab to make a crustacean jealous. I ate until I could barely move. The result? A serious food coma. So serious, in fact, that I'm pretty sure I almost missed the sunset.
- Evening: The Sunset Saved!: I woke up in the nick of time, and rushed myself over to the viewpoint! Sunsets at Mui Ne always look fantastic, the color changing to blue, orange, and purple. This is the best part of the trip.
Day 4: The Desert and Some More Beach
- Morning: Red Sand Dunes Adventure: An absolute must-do! the Red Sand Dunes, where you can rent a quad. Climbing the dunes, is a work out, but the view from the top is spectacular, and going down is thrilling. It is definitely a photo opportunity as well.
- Afternoon: Beach Day Refresher: After the sand dunes, I went back to the beach. Swimming, reading, and just relaxing and soaking up some sun.
- Evening: Chill Vibes and Dinner: Enjoy the chill vibes by the beach. Have drinks and enjoy a nice meal,
Day 5: Departure and the Aftermath
- Morning: Last Swim and Farewell: Say goodbye. I get one last swim in the pool before heading off. The pool is now a little bit more empty, with less of the same tourists from the first days. I feel very bittersweet to leave behind the chill vibes, the seafood, and the wonderful beach.
- Afternoon: Travel day I head back to the airport
- Evening: Reflection Thinking back on the trip, I realized that it's the imperfections, the unexpected moments, the times you completely mess up that make a trip memorable.
So there you have it, folks! My messy, glorious, and at times slightly embarrassing account of my adventure at Texas Corner Resort. Remember, it's not about perfect, it's about real. And sometimes, real involves sand in your hair, a bruised ego, and a serious craving for fresh seafood. Now go forth, embrace the chaos, and make your own travel mess!

Okay, okay. Fine. But WHY is it so... [insert perceived characteristic] ?

What are the benefits, supposedly? People keep harping about them...
Is it… worth it? Seriously. Honesty time.
Okay, okay, maybe I'll try this. But where do I even begin?
