It has long been positioned as 4 * and this corresponds to the level of service.
many people speak or understand Russian at the reception, there is a special Russian-speaking manager, but we mostly communicated in English.
1. location: there are many shops, cafes nearby.
it takes about 5-7 minutes to get to Boke by taxi (it costs about 40 dong - $ 2), on foot - about 30-40 minutes.
2. the beach is good, clean, sand, there are a lot of sun loungers with umbrellas - there is enough for everyone, there are fences on the water, but at low tide, many swim out for them, because. finely.
the sea is almost always agitated, swimming is good when the tide is high, and at low tide there is a lot of stirred up sand.

3. food - breakfasts are good, the choice is not very large, but almost everything is delicious (bacon, sausages, eggs are always available), soups (fo - at the counter), a couple of types of soups on the buffet, there were different casseroles with potato meat, zucchini, lasagna, pies, rice rolls, rice and noodles with additives, beef with vegetables, fruits (pitahaya, watermelon, pineapple, papaya, passion fruit, bananas, apples of paradise, rambutan), plain and fruit yogurts, cereals, regular and rye buns with cereals, pastries - muffins, croissants, jam buns, charlotte-type pie, condensed milk-type cream pie, packaged juices, 2 types of tea - Vietnamese and Lipton, and coffee - Vietnamese and American - it is better to pour on the table ourselves, because in the teapots that the waiters carry, very often everything is asleep.
The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, heavy dishes are cleaned quickly.
For dinner, we went to different cafes - in general, the food is normal, but not very tasty - we are tasty and interesting to eat lovers - for us it looked like a canteen (there was poorly fried pork, tough chicken and often salads unbalanced in ingredients, instead of tomato sauce - ketchup).
In the Sun-Moon cafe, under the guise of tuna, they served another fish - it’s not clear what they hoped for (tuna is specific, it’s hard to confuse it with other fish),
I didn't like the East-West at all - the taste is like in the canteen, in De Ja Vu - it's normal, the Italian restaurant opposite the hotel is quite tasty.
Most of all I liked the food in Bo Ke, you choose what you want, they will fry seafood and spices at will on the brazier and cook soup from a portion, there even salads are tastier than in a cafe near the hotel, only there are no fresh juices.
Beer local Saigon is very worthy.
Our bill was from 400 to 900 VND with a tip.
Cleanliness in cafes is relative, but not horror-horror, and we are accustomed to the specifics of Asian countries.
4. room - we had Nova deluxe, because regular deluxes don't have balconies everywhere, and we love having a balcony.
The furniture is standard, as in hotels around the world: 2 beds, bedside table, between them, air conditioning - quiet and cools well, flat TV on the wall, chest of drawers, wardrobe, shelf for suitcases, shoes, desk, chair, sofa is modest, but it not particularly needed, on the balcony there is a table, a dryer and 2 sun loungers, a shower is not a cabin, but just a glass-enclosed part of the bathroom. in the closet there is an electronic safe, a kettle, a mini-bar.
The furniture is not new, but not shabby, the repair is fresh.

Provided: 2 bottles of 0.5 liters of water, tea, coffee, soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, tooth / brushes, cotton. sticks, small comb, free wi-fi in the room, hot water was always available - you only need to wait 2 minutes for it to heat up.
They cleaned normally, we always left a tip, but in my opinion they are cleaned the same way with and without a tip. In order to change bed linen, you need to leave a sign on the bed (it stands on the bed upon arrival, but the inscriptions are all in English), if you don’t put a sign, they will change the linen about once every 5 days, towels too - you put them on the towel rack - they don’t change , you put it near the sink or on the floor - they change it.
beach towels are changed near the pool, or the maid changes if they are in the room during the day. Beach towels must be taken from the room and brought back to the room.
5. The territory of the hotel is a beauty, a tropical garden, benches, swings, fish ponds, a variety of plants, everything is clean, beautiful, everything is compact and comfortable.
We went with a tour operator to Dalat and Ho Chi Minh City for 2 days, there is not much to do in Dalat, it’s only interesting to look at Crazy House + it’s beautiful in the flower park (do not take tea, coffee, dried fruits in Dalat - in Mui Ne the same is at 2-3 times cheaper), on the road to Dalat about 1 hour mountain serpentine - hard. In Ho Chi Minh, the road is good - partly a high-speed highway, the city itself is interesting, unusual on the Mekong, but prices are high everywhere. As a gift for 2 excursions, they gave a trip to the dunes and to the Fairy Creek - I liked it there.
the biggest minus for me in Vietnam is small biting midges, you don’t feel how they bite, and then it’s creepy and the blisters swell up, though not everyone has such a reaction, it’s necessary to constantly splash with the product, because. it exhales quickly.
They flew with Pegasus Fly Airlines - they feed little and rarely, for 10.5 hours they feed hot once and give a sandwich with tea 1 time. We were aware of this problem and took food with us.
We drove from Cam Ranh airport to Mui Ne 4.5 hours, with a stop for 25 minutes for a toilet and food, back - 5 hours - there were busy roads.

I can’t say that the road is hard, because. the bus is comfortable, not hot, it travels slowly - you can look out the window, the asphalt is almost good everywhere, they are building a new road, it’s just hard to sit for another 5 hours after a long flight.
In general, I liked Vietnam - of course, the sea is not the same as in Thailand on the islands, but the country is comfortable, the attitude towards Russians is very good.
