To be honest, there isn't really a great deal to say about Mui Ne. The beach was nice but at the same time quite dissappointing. The current was too strong to go in the sea without practically falling over. We stayed at Mui Ne Backpackers - which seemed to be one of the only low-budget accomodations that actually had a few people there. The rest of Mui Ne was either completely dead or filled with rich Chinese tourists in really fancy resorts. It was a bit strange. The nightlife was pretty shit, to be blunt. Our hostel sorted out a "bar crawl" every night, which consisted of dinner and then on to the same two or three bars each night. In keeping with most beach towns like this, the music was awful, made worse by the fact that they were trying to push it through a soundsystem that couldn't handle it - the result was that it sounded as if everything had been recorded and played back on a phone - as anyone who ever uses public transport can attest, this is torture.
On our last day in Mui Ne we had to check out at 11am, but wait until 1am for our bus. We found another resort with a better pool that agreed to let us use their pool all day if we ate our lunch there. We had tried at loads of nicer resorts (the ones full of Chinese tourists) but they weren't playing ball. Where we ended up was deserted and they had wi-fi so it was all good. Long day though with lots of waiting around.
There isn't alot else to say, because there wasn't alot else to do. We ate some decent food and chilled out, met a few cool people. Our next stop was Nha Trang. Despite originally being in our plans we had decided to skip Nha Trang because we heard Mui Ne was similar but much better. Because of the open bus ticket we passed through there anyway so we decided to check it out and see for ourselves.
