The resort’s general manager, Le Dai Hai, said: “As a newcomer on the Asian tourism map, we are tremendously honored to be recognized at this year's World Travel Awards. With this achievement, we are poised to redouble our efforts to deliver the most valuable experiences to our guests.
“Moreover, our dedicated staff will continually craft engaging activities and unique services to ensure that Ana Mandara Cam Ranh remains the foremost choice for travelers planning their Vietnam adventures.”

The 5-star resort offers an array of leisure spaces, including a sprawling outdoor swimming pool, a tranquil spa sanctuary, and an organic garden that supplies fresh ingredients to its two restaurants, known for serving sumptuous Asian cuisine.
