As well as this best new beach resort award, it's been listed in the Conde Nast 2007 Hot List (in both the US and the UK), been picked as a "best of the best" of new hotels by Gourmet Traveller, and, on top of all of that, we think it's a nice place too.

However, sometimes it is cool to follow the trendies, and this is one case where you can call us sheep. Besides, it has been awhile since we pointed you to what we thought was a hotel heaven.<p> All the cool kids are going to Vietnam and hanging out at Nha Trang beach parties.
