Compared with the resort's own car

Resort transfer: The resort lists a private transfer from Tan Son Nhat and Ho Chi Minh City and a scheduled shuttle bus, both at extra charge with the price confirmed at booking; no price is published (hotramresort.com/how-to-get, read 4 Oct 2026). Reserve on +84 913 781 524.

Our private car: $50 (1.300.000₫) for a sedan, $56 for a 7-seater. Per car, tolls included.

The shuttle bus leaves 48A Dang Dung, Tan Dinh, at 14:00 and leaves the resort at 11:30; it must be reserved at least 48 hours ahead and is subject to seats (resort site, 4 Oct 2026). It is a city shuttle, not an airport pickup, so a booked car is the straightforward way from the airport.

Is this Ho Tram Osaka Resort, and is it still open?

It is the same resort under a newer name. The 2009 listing for Ho Tram Osaka Resort & Spa gave 63 rooms and 18 bungalows, a Gecko restaurant, a spa and an email at hotramresort.com. Today Ho Tram Beach Boutique Resort & Spa trades from that same web domain with rooms, bungalows and pool villas, its site footer still names the operating branch as KDL Ho Tram Osaka, and Foody’s Vietnamese listing still carries the Osaka name. An independent review describes over 80 rooms and bungalows on about 8 hectares of beach with casuarina trees, which matches. Quote the address and the resort’s current name to your driver and the front desk.

Does the resort run a shuttle from Saigon?

Yes, but a paid one and only once a day each way. The resort’s site lists a scheduled shuttle bus from 48A Dang Dung, Tan Dinh, in Saigon at 14:00, returning from the resort at 11:30, reserved at least 48 hours ahead and subject to seats. Meliá and Dhawa run free shuttles for their own guests; this one carries a charge, confirmed at booking. It does not go to the airport, but the resort also lists a private transfer from Tan Son Nhat. Reserve on +84 913 781 524.

How long is the drive from Tan Son Nhat?

2½ to 3¼ hours by car, mostly on the expressways. The resort’s own site says 120 km and “an easy two-hour drive” from the city, and 2 to 3 hours by road on its how-to-get-there page; that is from central Saigon, not the airport, and an independent reviewer gives 90 minutes to 2 hours. Treat 2½ hours as the clear-road figure from the airport.

What is it like, and is the beach good for swimming?

It’s low-rise and informal, set beside the Binh Chau–Phuoc Buu nature reserve, and many guests value that over the large resorts down the strip such as Meliá Ho Tram and Dhawa Ho Tram. The same reviewer found the sea itself choppy with currents, so plan on the pool for swimming. The old listing also mentioned tennis courts, a driving range and activities such as cycling and trekking in the reserve.

Day trips and going on

The Binh Chau hot springs are about 25–35 minutes away and Vung Tau 45–60 minutes. Book either from the resort and ask the car to wait. Onward routes to Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, Vung Tau, Binh Chau and the airport are in the table below, in both directions. The wider choice of resorts is on the Ho Tram page.

Our driver standard

The car you'd want after a long flight

Car quality in Vietnam varies wildly: a driver smoking between jobs, seatbelts tucked away or missing, a car that's done half a million kilometres. This is the standard we hold every driver to, and what we ask you about after every trip.

  • Calm hands on the wheel. Smooth, unhurried driving. Safety comes before speed, every time.
  • The horn is for emergencies. Not a musical instrument. Anyone who has sat in Saigon traffic knows why we say this.
  • No smoke, no perfume bomb. Nobody smokes in our cars, and there's no air freshener strong enough to make your eyes water.
  • Air you'd want to breathe. Cabin filters changed on schedule, so the air-con blows clean, not twenty years of exhaust.
  • Newer cars, kind suspension. Cars in good condition, with seats and suspension made for a four-hour drive.
  • Seatbelts that work. In every seat. Child seats are free on request.

FAQ

About this transfer

Is this the same as Ho Tram Osaka Resort?

Yes. The resort's own site, hotramresort.com, is Ho Tram Beach Boutique Resort & Spa, and its legal-information footer still names the operating branch as KDL Ho Tram Osaka (read 4 Oct 2026). Some local listings still use the Osaka name. Give the driver the address and the resort's phone number if the taxi desk at your end doesn't recognise one name.

Does the resort run a shuttle from Saigon?

Yes, a scheduled shuttle bus runs between 48A Dang Dung in Saigon and the resort (14:00 out, 11:30 back), booked at least 48 hours ahead and charged extra; the resort also lists a private transfer from Tan Son Nhat. Neither price is published. A private car from the airport costs a fixed price shown in the booking box.

How long is the drive from Saigon airport?

Typically 2½ to 3¼ hours by car using the expressways. Leaving between 4 and 7 pm is slower. The resort says it is 120 km and about two hours from the city centre, and 2 to 3 hours by road in its how-to-get-there page.

Can we visit the hot springs or Vung Tau from here?

Yes. Binh Chau is about 25–35 minutes and Vung Tau 45–60 minutes. See the onward table below.

We land late at night. Is that a problem?

No. We track your flight and wait 90 minutes after landing, free. Pickups between 22:00 and 06:00 add a 10% night surcharge, shown before booking. Warn the resort you'll arrive late.
