There are currently several relatively cheap resorts on the island although more are being built.
National park guest house - just outside of town (300,000 Dong)(Currently fully booked with Six Senses Staff)
A.T.C. resort - is slightly over priced compared to the other hotels but the food is good.
Saigon Con Dao (Government Owned) is lacking in character, but is clean and has a nice swimming pool.
There is also the Con Dao resort and the Con Dao Seatravel hotel towards the end of town. Both offer bungalows right on the beach at the end of town,where the beach is quiet and nice, although sometimes littered. The prices range from $45-70 USD. Seatravel is a bit of a dump, with reports of rats in the rooms, but the large bungalows open right onto the beach and offer some of the best views and locations for Con Dao, especially on a budget. The manager knows some English and is helpful with relocating unsatisfied customers to the Con Dao Resort, which is further from the beach but offers more standard, less "rustic" rooms, as well as a pool.
Elsewhere in Con Son there are small guesthouses and hotels which offer room rates from $15 - $35 US per night Whilst these are not on the beach they are usually clean and relatively new and comfortable. Contact www.dive-condao.com for recommendations, new places are opening everyday and they know the good, bad and ugly.
Only the larger resorts (Saigon Con Dao, Seatravel, Resort A and Con Dao resort) offer pick ups from the airport. As there are no taxis on the island it can be tricky to get transport into town! Most of the bus drivers however are very friendly and will offer stranded travelers a lift into the town.
The Six Senses resort and spa has recently opened but is located on a more isolated, separate beach between the town and the airport. The beach is more private and cleaner than the larger stretch of beach shared by the other hotels, and the resort is organized as private bungalows, with each bungalow having unobstructed views of the water. The resort is much more expensive than the other hotel options, but also offers visitors amenities not available at the other hotels.
