So, from the very beginning. The first time we were in Vietnam, according to the review, we liked this particular hotel, and we chose it.
Immediately upon arrival in Boryspil, it turned out that the plane was delayed for unknown reasons, as a result, the departure was delayed by almost 2 hours : ( We flew with Aerosvit, I can’t say anything good, the flight was 9 hours and there was simply not even tea and coffee, the first time we encountered this It's good that we flew at night, we almost slept the whole way.
We bought a ticket from Lanta Tour. I appreciate her work!
At the Saigon airport, it took about 2 hours to get a visa, only 2 windows and a lot of people. First you stand in line to get the application, then you stand in line to turn it in, then you stand for a long time to finally pick up your passports, very tiring after such a long flight.
At the exit from the airport we exchanged part of the money, there really is the best exchange rate!
We were met by a guy with a piece of paper on which our names are written, the guy did not understand Russian or English at all, they communicated with gestures. A small minibus drove up and we drove to Mui Ne. We went with my husband and two more from our flight. Another incident happened - in addition to the driver, the same guy who met us was driving in the minibus, a woman got hooked on the way, as we understood - the wife of one of them. go, what she just didn’t do, just a free circus. We, of course, "very interesting" was to watch it.
We drove for about 6 hours, of which a good one and a half along Saigon itself, traffic is something, 90 percent move on mopeds, ignoring traffic lights and any traffic rules.
I liked the hotel in general. After reading reviews about choosing a room, we immediately decided to take a room no lower than the second floor, but there were no free rooms and we were settled in the right wing on the first floor, which, supposedly, are the worst. We agreed after 2 days that we would be moved to the left wing on the 2nd floor, and then regretted it. The reason is that almost all daylight hours it is impossible to go out onto the balcony, the heat is suffocating. So it's only for sun lovers.
Another point - the staff of the Russian language does not know and does not understand!
The hotel is very quiet, there is a pool and jacuzzi next to it, but we never used them. Swimming only in the sea. Places should be taken around 7.30, then there will be only places near the pool. We borrowed from the beach. Be sure to at least the first few days you need to apply sunscreen, the sun is very active, burn out elementary in 20 minutes. I sunbathed only under an umbrella, I came to Kyiv as a Negro : )))
The breakfast is quite decent. Fruits, some pastries, Pho soup, omelettes, yoghurts, sausages, cheeses, vegetables, etc.
The center is about 15 minutes on foot, better by taxi, there are a lot of them, they all work according to the meter, about 30 thousand to the center.
They cook very tasty, I liked the restaurant near the hotel - Madame Chi, they cook very tasty sins with cheese and a salad with shrimp. Next to the hotel I also liked the "Ocean", a very tasty dish "Seafood in sweet and sour sauce", well, VERY tasty. I can also mention the restaurants "East-West", "Madam Din", "Forest". It's already in the center. We also went to Boca. There are about 20 of them. From the hotel by taxi for about 55 thousand. I liked the one near the pagoda. Our most expensive dinner was there, paid 700k (30+ bucks) and included - grilled shrimp, scallops, spiny lobster, mussels and green shells, red fish, salads and beer. They cook very satisfying and tasty, although dirty, an eatery, in short. But they cook from fresh products, so you just choose what you want in the aquarium and they cook it right there. And on average, it is quite possible to dine for 120-150 thousand for two.
I did not like the restaurant "Madame Anya", the prices are the same as in the others, but the prices are not the same. For example, if Madame Dean has 10-12 of these shrimp in a salad with shrimp, then Madame Anya has as many as 4! : )) And a long service, I didn’t like it, in short : )
About excursions - they bought vouchers at the 1001 Nights agency, much cheaper than through Lanta-tour.
I really liked the excursion to Dalat, fishing, to Nha Trang to the islands. I did not like the trip to the dunes, some kind of nonsense, except that on the way back we were taken to the Canyons, really beautiful.
In Dalat, we rode elephants, Vietnamese slides (horror : )))), visited a functioning pagoda (very beautiful), a silk factory, took coffee for a tasting (bought all sorts of things for $ 35). The coffee is amazing, with a hint of chocolate, very tasty. There are also a lot of different candied fruits, we bought several packs of candied roses, I recommend; )
In Nha Trang we went to the islands, on each there is something new - deer, monkeys, elephants, ostriches, you can feed them all from your hands.
Fishing is also good, in any case you will catch something, and then this fish will be cooked for you and served with local Dalat wine.
Excursions to Dalat and the islands were led by the Vietnamese Tolik, he speaks quite tolerably in Russian, tells everything very interestingly, answers any questions regarding the life of Vietnam. If you meet, say hello : )
On the penultimate day, we went by local bus number 1 to Phan Thiet itself, nothing special, a small enough town, we went to the local COOP supermarket, there was nothing interesting there, we bought only local spices.
Of the unpleasant - only the attitude of our tour operator Lanta-tour. Then it was not yet known about their plight, the attitude was none. They saw their guide Daria once, did not tell anything, but only offered to buy tour tickets from her.
Next, about our departure and our last day at the hotel. This is something, I thought I would turn gray : (
Departure from the hotel was scheduled for 19.00, and the room had to be vacated at 12.00. We wanted to extend our stay, but our room was already booked and there were no free rooms at all. Chinese NG: ) We called our Dasha, our Dasha....How to be - she offered us to sit on the beach until the bus arrived, it's fun right? They asked us to find a room for us in another hotel, she said that there were no available ANYWHERE!
As a result, we found it ourselves, just went to the first one on the second line and rented a room for $ 25. No problem; )
After that, they called this Darya with a request to warn the driver so that he would pick us up from there, anyway, after all, on the road. And at the reception in Alezba they left information about where we are, just in case. Both Daria and the reception assured us that there would be no problems anywhere. So, at 18.55, we stood by the road with our suitcases and waited for our bus, waited about 15 minutes and decided to go to Alezba, but what if?... I waited for our bus and then it turned out that they didn’t want to pick us up! We are on the list, but the driver does not want to pick us up. we're out of place. In general, I noticed that the Vietnamese act clearly according to the instructions, that's how it was with this driver - he was told to pick us up from THIS hotel and that's it, even if you crack! Nobody warned him, the girl from the reception couldn't understand anything either. Horror, I already thought that they would leave without us. Thank you very much to the girl Nastya from Odessa !!! , who helped me explain them, if not for her, I don’t know what would have happened.
This was the only negative impression about the rest, otherwise, in general, everything is fine : )
