Travel Guide to 嘉龍汽車旅館 (Dragon Jia Motel), Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, Vietnam

Introduction

Tucked along the sun-drenched coastline of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, southern Vietnam’s beloved beach escape, 嘉龍汽車旅館 (Dragon Jia Motel) delivers unpretentious, comfortable coastal accommodation for couples, families, and budget travelers alike. Set in the quiet seaside neighborhood of Long Hai, this no-fuss motel prioritizes location and value, putting soft golden sands within steps of your door while keeping costs far lower than the crowded resorts of central Vung Tau. Whether you’re chasing a weekend of sun and seafood or a slow stop on a coastal road trip, Dragon Jia Motel works as an ideal home base.

Hotel Overview

Dragon Jia Motel’s address at Road 44, Hai Tan, Long Hai places it meters from the area’s quiet, uncrowded shoreline. Designed to cater to all traveler types, the property offers spacious family rooms, air conditioning in every unit, and dedicated non-smoking rooms to suit every preference. Free, property-wide Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while complimentary private on-site parking with valet service makes it a perfect stop for travelers exploring the coast by motorbike or car. Convenience is a core priority here: a 24-hour front desk welcomes late arrivals, room service is available for lazy afternoons in, and paid laundry service takes the hassle out of multi-day beach trips. Outside, ocean-facing patios with outdoor furniture let you sip morning coffee or watch sunset over the South China Sea without leaving the property. English and Vietnamese speaking staff ensure smooth communication for international and domestic visitors alike.

Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are all within a 30-minute drive of the motel:

• Long Hai Beach: Just steps from Dragon Jia Motel, this quiet stretch of sand is far less crowded than Vung Tau’s main shore. With soft golden sand, gentle waves, and local seafood shacks serving fresh grilled squid along the promenade, it’s perfect for slow days swimming, sunbathing, or strolling the shore at low tide.
• Ho May Mountain & Cable Car: A 25-minute drive to central Vung Tau, this scenic mountaintop park offers panoramic views of the coast and city below. The 10-minute cable car ride glides over forested slopes, and at the summit, you’ll find a tranquil park, a historic lighthouse, and multiple cafes serving cold local coffee.
• Vung Tau Front Beach (Bai Truoc): Half an hour from the motel, this lively curved shoreline is lined with colonial-era architecture, street food stalls, and a pedestrian-friendly promenade. Visit in the early evening to watch locals gather for evening exercise, street performances, and fresh banana pancake snacks.

Travel Tips

If you’re visiting during peak season (June to August), book your room at least two weeks in advance to secure a sea-facing terrace room. Bring cash in Vietnamese dong, as small local businesses nearby rarely accept card payments. For day trips to central Vung Tau, hire a local motorbike taxi (xe om) for around 150,000 VND one way, or use the motel’s free parking if you’re driving yourself. Don’t leave without trying the morning seafood market 10 minutes’ walk from the motel, where you can buy fresh caught prawns and mango for a beach picnic straight from the source.
