The hotel has a large well-groomed, green area. Walking is a pleasure, the territory is large and there are few people. In the center of the hotel there is a large main pool with different depths in different places. Umbrellas. Plus a children's area is fenced and a couple of slides. There are few people around the pool, quiet and calm. The sunbeds, although wooden, are comfortable with mattresses. Near the pool there is a beach towel exchange. Near the pool there are two tennis courts. Rackets will be given at the reception, but that's nonsense, you need your own balls) You can play volleyball, the ball will be given at the reception. And in principle, this is all hotel entertainment. No animation or other entertainment programs. There is a playground and an outdoor sports ground. We lived in a building where the entrance to the room is a shared balcony. There was no private balcony. There are also houses with two entrances, two rooms. Some have mini pools in front of them. There is a free safe in the room. Good furniture. There is a mini bar but for a fee. They bring free everything to tea and coffee and two bottles of water. The room has an umbrella, slippers, bathrobes. The bathroom has a shower, hair dryer and toiletries. . Towels, combs and even toothbrushes. Shampoo, soap, cotton buds. Everything is replenished daily. There is a bar with a free pool table. The bar works like a showcase, you order and the tepe is brought from the restaurant or I don’t know where it’s from that I ordered nothing in the place, they don’t pour it in the lobby, the same type of service at the bar. Bar prices are thirty percent higher than in cafes on the street. But the prices are normal and you can overpay a little for convenience). The breakfast restaurant operates on a buffet basis. The food is varied and well prepared. In addition to breakfast, you can order food at any time, but the price tag is two times more expensive than on the street, but convenient. Every day from three to five you can have tea or coffee and cookies next to the restaurant in the bar, all for free. The beach at the hotel, of course, as in all of Vietnam, is public. The hotel zone is separated from the public hill. There are posts with ropes; in fact, they do not interfere with easy crossing. There are also sun loungers and umbrellas. A couple of steps to the water. That's probably all.

We will definitely visit this hotel again! Everything is just fine. Gorgeous green area. Nice beach, good location. There is Russian-speaking staff, which is also important! Well, in order) I'll start with the territory, as it impressed me a lot. Several ponds of various sizes. Large swimming pool, children's pool.

We will definitely visit this hotel again! Everything is just fine. Gorgeous green area. Nice beach, good location. There is Russian-speaking staff, which is also important! Well, in order) I'll start with the territory, as it impressed me a lot. Several ponds of various sizes. Large swimming pool, children's pool. Neat paths, trimmed trees and lawns. The staff work all day and so you hardly notice them. I can imagine how difficult it is to maintain all this beauty. All the buildings seemed to me in the colonial style. The playground, basketball and mini-football fit perfectly into the beauty of greenery without disturbing the overall picture. The hotel consists of a main building and a bungalow. We stayed in a deluxe. Places a large enough family bed. True, the wall of the USSR and a simple TV amused me, although we did not turn it on) A couple of chairs, bedside tables, a table. Kettle, tea set, slippers all as expected. The bathroom has a bathtub. They put shampoo, soap, gel, toothbrushes, but for me soap is a tiny shampoo, gel is nonsense) They clean the room very well, always wet cleaning, they even twisted beauty from towels. Beach and pools. The sun lounger area on the beach is fenced off. There are enough sunbeds with umbrellas a little worse, but the shade from the palm trees is enough. The sand is nice and the beach is clean. Of course, the current brings some garbage, but the beach is cleaned regularly. In the morning there are no waves in the morning if you go out early you can see how the fishermen take off the nets by seven in the morning they are gone. After lunch we moved to the pool. The pools are clean, there are plenty of sunbeds, not washed clean towels. Internet throughout the territory is free and catches quite well. Regarding entertainment in the hotel. There is a spa, a tennis court and it’s free, but if you only want to play at night, you will have to pay for lighting) Billiards, exercise machines are installed on the territory in the shade. There is also a fitness center. There is a sauna. As for food, there are no problems at all in the hotel, very hearty breakfasts, and we preferred to have lunch and dinner in a non-hotel. The hotel is in a busy area immediately opposite full of cafes, pharmacies and other things. I won’t advise anything specific, because everyone has their own taste) In general, we’ll be back here)!

When choosing a hotel, we immediately decided that it was away from busy places. So that you can relax from the hustle and bustle. If you want to relax in the same way, you may well consider this hotel. The beach and the pool with them, then I’ll start, I’m certainly not a craftswoman to write reviews and this is the first time, but I’ll try not to paint the details too much) The beach is clean and cleaned daily in the morning.

The beach and the pool with them, then I’ll start, I’m certainly not a craftswoman to write reviews and this is the first time, but I’ll try not to paint the details too much) The beach is clean and cleaned daily in the morning. Yes, sometimes it will bring something in the tide, but in general the water is clean, although not too transparent, one might even say a little cloudy. But there are no big waves, swimming is very comfortable. Lots of sunbeds on the beach in the shade from the trees. The beach itself is big and wide. In the morning, when the tide is low, you can pick up beautiful shells. Lifeguards are also worried about the safety of guests, not only on the beach but also by the pool. The hotel grounds are beautiful with lots of flowers. The most beautiful palm trees. The main crowd of people at the central pool. The pool itself is clean and big. There is a dedicated area for small children. In general, the hotel is very quiet with few children. There are no clubs or discos near the hotel, so there were very few young people seen in the hotel. Mostly people over 40. There are no special entertainment. They do a good massage in front of the hotel. Food is plentiful and affordable. Breakfast at the hotel was included in the price. I note that there were a lot of fruits. Soups, vegetables, meat, bacon, rice, pasta. Coffee or drinks. Husband and I had enough. And yes, they cook well. There are also a lot of places to have dinner and lunch, but we preferred the Lights of Moscow where they cooked the most delicious, well, this is purely our opinion. There are many shops nearby. Everything you need can be bought without any problems. I want to thank the staff for the quality service. The room is comfortable and freshly renovated. Everything is fine. Cleaning is quite like for a hotel) Clean daily bed linen changed every three days. Soap, shampoo, gel replenished and the quality is normal. If it gets boring, for example, we did go fishing, they fed us fish in foil there. In general, it turned out to be such a pleasant quiet rest in a calm atmosphere and comfortable conditions.

I am writing 2 weeks after my arrival, so that emotions subside, and something objective remains : ). It still turned out a lot : ) We were in Vietnam for the first time, so we were very worried. They flew from Moscow with Vietnam Airlines, Aeroflot and Transaero still have to learn for a long time to this level.

I am writing 2 weeks after my arrival, so that emotions subside, and something objective remains : ). It still turned out a lot : )
We were in Vietnam for the first time, so we were very worried. They flew from Moscow with Vietnam Airlines, Aeroflot and Transaero still have to learn for a long time to this level. Lovely flight attendants, a decent menu and a drink card, a TV in the headrest, which, in addition to movies, etc. , broadcasts an online flight map, and the image from two cameras - one down under the plane, the second forward, respectively, you see everything you fly over.
We flew with Focus Asia, there were no problems. True, the transfer from Saigon to Phan Thiet takes almost 5 hours, there are 210 km of roads, but the traffic is very busy, and constantly in settlements. There are VERY many mopeds in Saigon, out of 8 million people, 7 million ride mopeds.
In Phan Thiet, we stayed at the Muine De Century Beach Resort & Spa.
The service was unexpectedly good. We lived in a villa by the sea, right next to the restaurant. The rooms are clean, with a full set of necessary little things (toothpaste, brush, ear cleaners, comb, slippers and even an umbrella, etc. ). There are tea-set accessories on the table: tea bags, coffee, sugar and water are free of charge and are replenished every day. The mini bar is very humane in terms of prices. The room is cleaned and towels are changed every day from 8 am. The only negative is the lack of sun loungers on the beach, there are really few of them.
The breakfasts are very good - fresh juices, fruits, sushi, scrambled eggs (optional mix - an omelette with vegetables and ham), spaghetti, soups, potatoes - there is a lot of food, and it's all delicious.
We usually ate fresh seafood in cafes on the waterfront, if you leave the hotel, turn left, then after 3 km there will be a number of cafes. One of the most famous VOKE, a lot of people and I really did not like the service. Starting with waiters who you can’t call, there is nowhere to wash your hands, nowhere to put garbage from the same seafood. The second point - it's dark there, so the change must be counted very carefully - having a snack for 10 dollars, the waiter "took himself" - 15, because I didn't realize. Then, of course, he returned it, but the sediment remained. Two cafes further there is a cafe with red lanterns. They speak English and Russian. There the service is better - wet wipes, water for washing hands after eating, plates for garbage. Lobster is served with a free vegetable salad, shrimp is served with rice . A trifle, but very pleasant. Prices are normal everywhere - 1 kg of shrimp - $ 12 (these are those that we sell as large), large (by their standards) - $ 20. Lobster - $ 24 per kg. Rice, salads for 2-3 dollars.
There is a Forest restaurant in the center, the prices there are twice as high, but the atmosphere is worth it and very tasty. There is live music in the evenings, and a lot of dishes that are not on the waterfront (snakes, frogs, etc. ).
We tried to eat in other establishments in the center - not tasty, it seems not expensive, but somewhere everything is too spicy, somewhere just bland food.
Other than these two places, I can't recommend anything else.
Excursions - I read that they advise taking from Dick Advocaat, he is just near the Forest. Left very dissatisfied. Deceived with two excursions. In Dalat, they bought for $ 70 for two - they did not get a group, they offered us to go to an individual one. I specified the cost for a long time, they assured me that I would have to pay only $ 10 for two. After returning from the excursion, it turned out that not 10, but 90, because the individual costs 80 per person, and discounts due to the fact that there were two of us, and not one, as an individual tour suggests, was not. Okay, I attributed it to my carelessness, we decided to order a second one - to Mount Taku to the white Buddha. $ 25 per person. They tell me that there will be a Jeep, and a driver who will tell us everything. The jeep is our Bobby, which has just left the fields (in terms of cleanliness and brokenness of the car), and the driver who does not know any language other than Vietnamese. What he was going to tell us is a mystery : )
We arrived at the travel agency, they said that we want to go with a group and a guide. It turned out the group is also in a jeep, that is, 4 passengers and a guide in the trunk!! ! With the fight they returned 40 dollars, 10 - they removed it as a penalty. We went to a neighboring travel agency - the next day, the two of us, with a guide in a minibus, were taken to Mount Taku and to the Chams, for the same money! Agency "Smile", checked on several more tourists from our hotel - no complaints.
For all the Buddhas, I recommend wearing something that will cover your knees, after all, these are their temples, tourists in short shorts do not look very nice : ) You can take pictures almost everywhere, they make a discount for tourists. An interesting whale temple, Cham temples, and the 49-meter Buddha itself are almost 400 steps up, but very beautiful.
In Dalat - definitely something warmer than a T-shirt - it is to the north, and in the afternoon it is cool there - a windbreaker on a T-shirt would not be superfluous. And yet, the road there is 55 km of serpentine!! ! pills for motion sickness would be very useful, they do not always warn, because they are used to, and cackle at the tourists who are motion sick. I have a very good vestibule, I have been driving a car for many years, but "the steep hills rocked Sivka" : )
Pearls are worth buying in Phan Thiet - they are cheap there, silk - in Saigon, tea, coffee - in Dalat (although they took milk olong - this is green tea, with an interesting milky flavor, but at home it turned out - that in packs it’s just good green tea, it’s worth it is $6 per pack, why there was a different taste at the tasting - I don’t know, but I called up other tourists who also tried it and took it - the opinions are the same). They took their tiger ointment in Phan Thiet - like our asterisk, a very good remedy for colds, and not only, the range of application is quite wide - in general, you should pay attention to their ointments and rubbing - there is something in this (I am a skeptic, but even that was pleasantly surprised, pulled my mother out of bronchitis).
There were two days in Saigon with included tours of the city and the Mekong Delta. We lived in the Oscar Hotel - everything is very decent. When settling in a hotel, agree on the presence of windows in the room, if this is important to you. Half of the rooms have no windows. In the city center there is a market, and on two parallel streets - a number of shopping centers - in the evening there is where to take a walk. BUT! Cross the road without a traffic light very clearly, no throwing back and forth, the traffic is terrible! See the gap in the mopedists and go ahead. They will eat you. They drive according to some mysterious rules : ), but I saw only a few accidents, despite such chaos. I liked everything about the tours. Such "immersion in the people" is very sobering, and helps to re-evaluate many things. You are amazed at many aspects of their life, at least how they survive in such unsanitary conditions : ). I don't want to go back there, but I have to go there once!
I hope I gave at least some useful information before the trip : ) Have a good vacation!
