Accommodation

There is accomoodation for every budget in Mui Ne.  If you are arriving by open tour bus you'll probably be dropped at a mid-priced resort (about $40 per room).  For something cheaper take a little walk in either direction along the coast.  Some touts push low quality rooms.

Excellent quality rooms, good facilities and friendly staff who wont try and you sell a thing!  This is probably the best option in the region, and very close (100m east) of the Sinh Cafe office and drop off point for their open tour buses.  The rooms are new, clean, have nice furniture, hot water showers, fans, nice beds, mosquito nets, towels and AC.  The restuarant serves good food that is very cheap.  Motorbikes and bicycles can be rented.  Local tours and bus tickets can be booked, but the staff will never hassle you.  Definitely a good place to stay.  Rooms are US$10 for a double,  US$13 for a triple.  They also have some cheaper options for solo travellers.  AC is US$3 more per night.

Rooms are cheap but a little run down.  Try Hai Yen 200m to the east for much nicer rooms for only US$2 more.  Rooms are basic and in need of a lick of paint.  The restruant serves good food, and the staff are friendly.  Right by the sea.  100m west of the Sinh Cafe bus ticket and drop off point.  Rooms are from US$8.
