We rested at the Allezboo Beach Resort & Spa 4 * in March 2011. VERY LIKE IT. EVERYTHING IS SUPER, IF YOU DO NOT ACCOUNT ANY THINGS THAT ARE PRESENT ON ANY HOLIDAY. I am writing in hot pursuit. The flight of the Transaero airline from Sheremetyevo was delayed by 1.5 hours. We were among the first to get off the plane and at Ho Chi Minh Airport we were met by several windows offering to exchange currency for local dongs. Initially, the highest rate was 20800 for one dollar. Then we observed the following picture: as people accumulated near the windows, the course began to rise in front of our eyes in each of them. The maximum rate that was offered was 21200. Since, usually, the rate is underestimated at airports, we did not change money, on the advice of Russian tourists, and went to the representatives of the tour operator Lanta tour.
Due to the delay in arrival, we had to take a group of tourists who were resting in another resort (not in the village of Mui Ne), that is, to make a big detour. As a result, our transfer to the hotel was delayed up to 7 hours. We arrived at the hotel around 20:00. Upon check-in at the hotel, they took away our passports and gave us the keys to room 633. No documents are required to be filled out either at the airport or at the hotel. What pleases is that there are no visas for Russians in Vietnam, if the stay does not exceed 15 days, there is no airport tax. The room is standard, large, consisting of a room and a bedroom. The room was booked in advance under our names, as evidenced by the welcome letter in the room with our names. The room is located on the 3rd floor of the hotel. No view - only one road. Most likely, for this reason, the windows are refrained and if they are not opened, then nothing can be seen through them. Quite noisy at night. A couple of times, local residents under the windows sawed boards with a chainsaw in the early morning. Such are all six-hundredth numbers. There are rooms in the hotel with sea and garden views. But they are a little more expensive. The travel agency warned us about this in advance.
The hotel is good, immersed in greenery, well-groomed, the staff is friendly.
BUT, IN OUR OPINION, IT HAS ONE MINUS (OR MAYBE NOT. EVERYTHING IS INDIVIDUAL). It is located at the beginning of the tourist area (but not on the outskirts) and if you go further inland to cafes and shops (although they are near the hotel) it will take quite a long time. Why go deeper - since the cafe there is cheaper and you can bargain a little. The quality is not worse. We found there one good cafe called BODE (not to be confused with BOKE, although it’s not bad there, people said) overlooking the sea (ride a moped for 10-15 minutes from the hotel towards the village). As you will see a cafe and on the right side of the sea, look for it there. A Yamaha moped was rented on the street from the same man (120.000 from 4 pm to 10 pm). To be sure, he arrived earlier than the scheduled time, so that someone else would not intercept us. There are no problems with renting motorbikes - on every corner. FIRST ADVICE - WHEN YOU TAKE A MOped, DO NOT SIGN ANY DOCUMENTS THAT YOU SHOULD BE IN VIETNAMIS, DO NOT LEAVE THE MOped UNATTENDED. Although stealing is not accepted from them, a young couple said that their moped was stolen from them while they were getting a massage at the Spa.
For example, I will give prices in the BODE cafe (almost opposite the cafe across the road there is a temple (pagada): fresh tomato salad 29000.1 crab 108000 (230000 - 1 kg), lobster 0.95 kg - 400000 (1 kg 420000), eel 0.5 kg - 125000, shells are small (take the small ones, they are tastier. Usually they took 0.5 kg for two. 70.000 per 1 kg. I also liked barbecue with vegetables and pork KUK LAK. Portion of pork and barbecue somewhere around 45000-55000 Rice is brought to each serving for free. They cook very tasty. Saigon beer, depending on the type, 0.3l - 10000-12000 (export).
At first, we went to other cafes located in the central part of the tourist area. We visited the NAM THO cafe (I liked the shrimp in sweet and sour sauce), the CATTUONG cafe (which is next to the Forest restaurant). Sat on the 2nd floor. Pretty good, but pricey. We took 4 king prawns, 2 oysters, a portion of rice, 2 beers of 0.6l TIGER, 1 bottle of Dalat wine. It cost about 20 dollars.
WE ALSO WENT TO THE CAFE KIM HU ADVERTISED IN THE REVIEWS. (Probably these reviews were prepared by the owners of this institution). The cafe is always crowded. And everywhere you hear from Russians. And why are you here? And in response: you didn’t read on the Internet, this is the best cafe in the village. WE DID NOT LIKE IT. An ordinary cafe, no different from others. The tuna fish is brought very dry. Portions are not big. A couple of times I had to wait a long time for both the waiter and the order. I forgot, of course, this cafe is different from others: after dinner, 6 very small pieces of watermelon will be brought to you free of charge from the owners on a saucer. No more.
In the room every day put free 2 bottles of water of 0.350 l, bags of coffee, tea, sugar. On the 2nd floor of the hotel, if you go up from the reception, there is a computer with Internet access. Works slowly, but news and mail can be checked. Skype, of course, no.
The breakfasts are very good. They're frying an omelet. COUNCIL TWO. DEFINITELY TRY THE PHO SOUP. To try it, you need to ask him to make a girl who cooks an omelette.
The hotel beach is huge. Width about 200 meters (MEASURED ITSELF). There are no restrictions on length. There is no fence between the hotels on the beach. The sea water is very warm. There are no stones in the sea, as well as fish. The water is cloudy. You go out not because you are cold, but because you are tired of jumping on the waves. Half of the days were sunny, half cloudy. But the temperature did not fall below +30. Be sure to apply sunscreen with protection of at least 25-30. Next to the pool is a decent enough outdoor Jacuzzi, which we occasionally visited (free of charge). Beach towels are free of charge without any cards and deposits, sunbeds too. You can take as many towels as you like.
Street vendors sell souvenirs and fruits on the beach. TIP THREE. TAKE FRUIT ON THE BEACH FROM THE SAME TRADER. She will remember you and will make a discount. Be sure to bargain. We took every morning coconut 20.000 dong. After they drank milk, they approached the same woman, she broke it (for free) and ate the pulp.
Money changed in the company 1000 and 1 night with Alexander (he speaks Russian very well). There was the most favorable rate of 21100 for 1 dollar, and excursions were also taken here. There are no cases of fraud when exchanging money. Everything is clear.
ADVICE FOUR. Do not use any roaming. Cellular communications in Vietnam are cheap. A SIM card costs an average of 80.000 VND. On account of 50.000. This is enough for 12-15 minutes of conversations with Russia. We were given SIM cards for free from Lanta Tour, with a balance of 50.000. Then we simply replenished the balance. We replenished 1000 in the company and 1 night at Alexander's with cards of 50.000 each. 50.000 also come to the account. We gave him a cell phone and he did everything for us.
It is worth trying the corn that is sold everywhere in the village. Cost 10000. Delicious. Fruit is sold everywhere. Lychees, rambutans (delicious, but quickly boring) 40.000 per branch (if you ride a scooter further from the center, the same fruits will cost 20.000). Pineapple - 20.000 (if desired, cleaned), further from the center 15.000 apiece, dragon - 20.000 per 1 kg.
A couple of times we went to the city of Phan Thiet (all hotels are located in the village of Mui Ne and it’s not worth focusing on the distance from the city when choosing a hotel). Our hotel was one of the closest to the city. There is nothing special to do in Phan Thiet. The only thing worth visiting is the local COOP supermarket. On the first floor there are products (they took beer "333" export 7600 dong for a can of 0.3 l. For comparison, in shops and cafes 12000-15000, Dalat wine export 59500, in a cafe - 80000), on the second floor - inexpensive things. We went by regular bus number 1. We were charged 12.000 for the journey (although the conductor has tickets of different price categories). They took the maximum from us (probably because we are tourists). Came here once in the evening at rush hour. We drove with the local population rather extreme. Thank God we arrived safely. Of course you can also take a taxi. Without any problems.
NOW ABOUT EXCURSIONS.
The first excursion was to the city of Dalat, located at an altitude of 1500m above sea level. The cost for one is 1000 and 1 night is 35 dollars (you can find 30 in other agencies). Very impressed. Take warm clothes with you. It is quite cool in Dalat, about +20. When we drove, in the afternoon it was raining nicely. COUNCIL FIVE. In no case do not take a tour from a tour operator. Firstly, it is much more expensive, and secondly, a Russian guide will never tell you in such detail about Vietnam as a Russian-speaking Vietnamese. Quite decent Mercedes minibuses go on an excursion. Our guide was a Vietnamese who introduced herself as Tolik. He speaks Russian well, he talked about everything in great detail. It can be seen that the topic. If you meet - a huge hello to him. At the end of the tour, I gave him 20.000 VND as a thank you for a good tour.
On the way we made a stop, Tolik showed how coffee grows. We had breakfast in a small cafe, where they took very tasty coffee with condensed milk for 10.000.
Tolik even offered us a photo session when we rode elephants. Waterfall first. Elephant ride 200.000 for two. Worth trying. Riding on ostriches 50000 for one. I WILL STOP HERE FOR MORE DETAILS. NO ONE WRITES ABOUT THIS. COUNCIL SIX. When you ride ostriches, wear either shorts or, better, some trousers that are not very expensive for you. After I got off the ostrich, people gasped. The entire left leg was covered in blood. Look, the leg is intact. Apparently it was someone's blood (the one who rode before me), but most likely it was the blood of an ostrich. There is bare wire in the aviary where the skating takes place. Apparently the ostrich got hurt about it. BE CAREFUL.
Second waterfall. Roller coaster ride. Be sure to take it back and forth so as not to walk. For two 80.000 round trip. TIP SEVEN. When you ride in the booth, wait for 10-15 seconds yourself, so that the booth in front of you drives off. The staff does not have much control over this process. I was driving almost at maximum speed and on the turn, having accelerated, I overtook the one driving in front of me. Despite their best efforts to stop, they still crashed. But, fortunately, the blow was not strong. After leaving the attraction, they began to offer us ready-made photos with our faces. The starting price was 20.000 per photo. After bargaining, it dropped to 10.000. Then we took a ride on the cable car to the city of Dalat. Drive 15 minutes. It costs 100.000 for two. Those who did not take the cable car went by bus and later regretted it. By the way, all entrance tickets to the park, except for the cable car, slides and other entertainment, are included in the price of the tour, as well as lunch. The dinner was very good. Salads, venison. . . even 4 bottles of wine per group (about 12 people).
We visited the Crazy House Hotel. You can take a look. We visited a store that sells coffee and tea. After tasting. Coffee 500g - 100.000-125.000, tea - 125.000, sweets 40.000-60.000 (delicious dried fruits. In Phan Thiet they sell these with chili peppers - you can't put them in your mouth). We visited a silk factory where paintings are embroidered by hand. Impressed.
The second excursion was to Mount Taco for $25 per person. After Dalat is much more modest. Tip - if you take these excursions, go first to Mount Taco, then to Dalat. We rode over the jungle on a cable car (the ticket is included in the price of the tour). Then 315 (he counted himself) on foot to the reclining Buddha. It is the largest reclining buddha in Vietnam. It is better to wear some comfortable shoes, or slates. Everywhere some stones, construction. My wife ruined the bass shoes there.
We were picked up from the hotel at 3 am. We decided to go in Vietnamese, which we had in the room upon arrival. Liked it very much, comfortable. Thought it was disposable. But when they handed over the room, we were asked to return them. Apparently, when they are washed, someone else in them looks like a vacationer. The return flight was delayed by 1.5 hours. Before boarding the plane, in the waiting room of Ho Chi Minh Airport, you can use two desks with Internet access for free.
Due to the delay in arrival, we had to take a group of tourists who were resting in another resort (not in the village of Mui Ne), that is, to make a big detour. As a result, our transfer to the hotel was delayed up to 7 hours. We arrived at the hotel around 20:00. Upon check-in at the hotel, they took away our passports and gave us the keys to room 633.
