Jungle Beach is like summer camps for grown ups - with beer. You pay a set price and get a bungalow and all meals are included and served communally. I opted for the relatively new "deluxe suite" and got a 3 bed, 2 story villa with views of the surrounding mountains and most importantly (to me) an ensuite. The upstairs where I opted to reside had a double bed and a hammock in the window. The grounds are lush with vegitation and at the end is a private beach with sun shades. And the view - nothing but blue skies and endless ocean. The water was clear, warm and calm. For four days I did nothing but eat, sleep, read, swim and lie on the beach. At night were card games and a bonfire under the stars. I know this sounds like an advertisement but JB deserves all the accolades it gets. I travelled 12 hours from where I needed to be
but it was worth it. Hands up who wants to join me on a return visit? But all good things must come to an end. Sad to leave all the wonderful people I'd met there I jumped on an overnight sleeper bus and headed north to Hoi An, Tet and a friend from home.

Hi Hayley, still enjoying all your posts, thanks for keeping us updated. Jungle Beach sounds divine...if only you had a private helicopter to quickly you drop you off instead of the 12 hour trip...I'll definitely put it on my list if I ever get to Vietnam.
