Rested with my husband at the Rock Water Bay in a bungalow from 16 to 28 February 2011.

First of all, when buying a ticket, carefully read where you will be placed. If this is a bungalow, then you are in...just like we are. And we ended up in the old abandoned part of the Rock Water Bay hotel, which is now a separate hotel called either Lang Spa or Kega Spa Village Resort (one sign on the road, another on the beach).

There is a reception building on the first line by the sea, where a Vietnamese girl sits, speaking and understanding only Vietnamese, across the road from the reception (that is, on the 2nd line from the sea) bungalows with thatched roofs and rather dusty and shabby furniture hid in the jungle, neither There are no fences or guards around, but there are all kinds of living creatures in large numbers - snakes, healthy black cockroaches, lizards croaking at night, mosquitoes and some creatures living in bed linen (whose bites itch for weeks).

In principle, bed insects strained most of all - since no funds brought with us had an effect on them - and we took with us everything that was - ointments, aerosols and a fumigator.

Further, I want to note that the bungalows are located on a hill, that is, bungalows with a number of more than 10 are quite high and not everyone can climb the stone steps to such a height, let alone drag suitcases there, but we managed : ) After a little skirmish with the lady from the reception - we managed to agree that we were moved lower. . but after 3 days.
Everything looks good in the room, the view from the window is beautiful, however, the shower on the floor, a colony of ants in the bathroom outside, a thick layer of dust on interior items, fungus on the walls, dirty curtains and shabby furniture immediately spoil the impression.

Now let's move on to breakfast and the hotel restaurant (we are talking about a hotel with a bungalow).
Breakfasts are the same every day - traditional soup, rice pancakes, vegetables, scrambled eggs, sausages, bread and something else, in principle - not bad, if it weren't noticeable that what the hotel residents don't eat - smoothly turns into the next day's breakfast and so on until it is completely destroyed.
The restaurant where you can have lunch and dinner is the same one where breakfast is served, and there is no reason to assume that for quite a decent price (2 times higher than in Mui Ne) you will be served freshly prepared food. We had dinner at the nearby Rock Water Bay, where there is quite a decent restaurant, but, in comparison with Mui Ne, the prices are 2-3 times more expensive.

Next, you need to look at the beach ...It is the property of the hotel ...However, like a garbage dump on the shore and in the sea. Every day, the sea throws mountains of bags, plastic cans, scraps ashore, which lie picturesquely on the sand.

Since the hotel is located on a cape, waves are constantly raging in the sea, and the hotel nearby is called ROCK water bay for a reason, as there are stone blocks in the water that break the waves, which makes the hotel beach completely unsuitable for swimming. The pool in this hotel is tiny and not suitable for swimming at all. But, again, all the inhabitants of our hotel went to the nearby Rock Water Bay and swam in their pool.

There is already a review about the remoteness of the hotel - it correctly says that it is 20 km to get to Phan Thiet, 40 to Mui Ne. And taxi prices are very decent - about 20 dollars for 40 km.
So it is not at all clear who gave this hotel 4 *. . He can hardly pull on 3 *.

In this place of KeGa there are absolutely no entertainment, shops, markets (not counting three shops 4 km away, where they sell coconuts and bananas).

The only place you can get yourself is the lighthouse. We rented bikes from the Rock Water Bay Hotel and rode 4km from the hotel.
For 60.000 dong (90r), one of the fishermen took us to the island where the lighthouse stands and patiently waited for our return. Entrance to the lighthouse cost another 20.000 dong (30r). Then, having made the ascent on foot along the spiral staircase, we got the opportunity to admire the surroundings. The tour turned out to be quite good. Nothing more to say about the hotel. .

We were moved to a lower room, but the bed fleas were there. So my husband and I packed our bags and spent the bulk of our holiday at a hostel in Mui Ne. The price of the issue is 11 dollars per room per day. From there we have already gone to Dalat and Nha Trang - at least we looked at Vietnam from a different, more pleasant side, otherwise the impressions would have been only negative ...

I would also like to say a separate "no thanks" to Coral Travel, which sent a hotel guide to this godforsaken hotel only on the 3rd day of our stay in it.
It’s good that my husband and I read reviews about the location of this hotel in advance and were able to get to Mui Ne on our own, where there are at least some amenities for tourists and, most importantly, a pharmacy and a first-aid post.
