We rested from April 5 to April 19 in Nha Trang, "Golden rain". I want to share my thoughts and feelings, knowing how difficult it is at first in an unfamiliar city. All conclusions are based on our personal opinion, someone may disagree.
The town is so-so. No beauty or miracles. The hotel is very modest. No need to wait for luxury rooms. Nooooooo! I repeat the opinion of many: “LOCATION! BREAKFASTS! STAFF! TERRACE on which it is so great to dine in complete silence in the evening, taking food "to go". The Vietnamese are adorable. If you come to the same salon, shop, exchanger, etc. several times, you become a friend. Moreover, without obsession and subservience. The words were very useful to us (but they need to be heard several times, because there are a lot of nasal sounds).
Hello - Xin Chao
Okay, nice - Dep
Thank you - Kam
Thank you, don't - Ham kam he
Please - Kam po chi
Very tasty - Zat Ngon
Beauty - Kon Gai Dep (After the massage, we say to the girl: “Thank you, beauty! ” - “Kam he, Kon Gai Dep. ” Delight! Happiness! )
Let's decide on directions. I will write about everything based on the fact that we are facing the sea, with our backs to the hotel.
A little about prices, I immediately translate into rubles. Soup and salad (huge portions min. for two) from 30 to 100 rubles. Pork - 100 - 180 rubles, grilled seafood basket - 220. Mango - 40-60, mangosteen - 100, fresh - 40 - 50.
Restaurants (bypassed a lot).
The closest, convenient, tasty, inexpensive. Exit the hotel, turn left, take the first left (dead end), run into a tiny street cafe with 4 tables.
The best pork (according to the husband), wonderful seafood, cocktails (you order 1 - the second at the expense of the house), free drinks in the street in the evening - After leaving the hotel, turn right before turning, again on the right. Restaurant Why Not Bar, 24 Tran Quang Khai Street.
Great restaurant with an incredible variety of menu (4 booklets) and low prices. From the hotel, turn left to the intersection with Nguyen Thj Minh Khai, go to 3rd street (Nguyen Thien Thuat), turn right, go on the right side, the restaurant is opposite the Barcelona Hotel, 3 Vietnamese words, the first is Com.
Fresh (various mixes) - from the hotel to the right, turns onto Tran Quang Khai (on the way to the sea) and on the left side.
Excursions. "Vova-tour" - wonderful Russian guys! Cheerful, nice. They have one of the lowest prices. You can just call, say where you want to go, they will pick you up from the hotel, and the "payback" is on the way back. "Vova Tour" - from the hotel to the right, cross the road at Tran Quang Khai Street in a few minutes walk.
The best excursion is Yang Bay waterfall. Incredibly beautiful, thermal springs, etc. They took it to Vova Tour for $29. After talking with compatriots, we realized that this is the best company (for this excursion).
Dalat - very nice, but there was no cable car and silk factory (Is it necessary? ) For the same $ 29
The only misunderstanding we had during an excursion to the Southern Islands. Perhaps I misunderstood? 40 min. see corals, 7 min. - a fishing village (I can’t call it a fishing village, because 4 people and a fish in polyethylene are complete garbage), and then a whole day on the island of Hon Tam, which is easily accessible on your own for 350 rubles. The promised buffet was absolutely not edible (200 rubles, as it turned out later). The bottom line about the Southern Islands is complete rubbish for $35. Either go with another company, but find out 100% what will happen, or go on vacation to Hon Tam yourself (Someone's report link: “Tickets were bought at the information center (on the second street, to the left of the hotel, a large yellow sign with green letters ), You can get to the pier by bus 04, the stop at Tran Quang Khai is very close to the hotel, for 6 rubles. Upon arrival on the island they give a bottle of water, the price also includes sunbeds and umbrellas. There is a good beach and several large pools, almost waves no. ) Or you can buy a similar tour at a street agency for $7.
It's nice on Winperl too. You can easily get to it by the same bus, back, after the show of singing fountains by taxi. Vinperl advice. Arrive early, immediately take sunbeds to the beach (there are very few of them). After swimming - slides, in the heat - an aquarium, then have lunch at the Foot village, then look for a hill with sleds (uphill not far from the restaurant) - impressive.
The review was done by ourselves. After the mud, we took a taxi to the Cham towers, then to the Long Son and Buddha pagoda, we looked at the cathedral in a few days. All the information was collected on the net, I'm not sure that the guides know much more. Quote:
Massage. I am a big fan of face massage. The best salons: Y`SPA (leave the hotel, cross the road and go look on the right side) is not far away. I'm doing gas care there. The same as the face, only the mask is placed over the eyes. The second - from the hotel to the right, cross the road, go to the intersection (on the corner of Tran Quang Khai and Nguyen Thien Thuat). But, if you are offered a oh-oh-oh-oh-very small masseuse - leave. She is jumping! Prices - 200.000 dong. (300 rubles) Not bad - get out of the hotel, cross the street, a little to the right - a dead end, on the right side of the salon. There is a mask in my opinion with chili pepper! Funny feeling, but the skin is happy! My husband did it in the same salons. Was very pleased. Massage for the blind! Either I was very unlucky, or I did not understand something. At first they tried to skin me, then they carefully beat off the kidneys, broke my spine and pulled out my hair, ignoring my wild cries. Attempts to escape were thwarted in the bud. I was able to escape only when the sadist decided that I needed to be turned over. I flew out in a second, barely having time to grab my bag and dress. I was waiting for my husband on the street, swearing, which is not typical for me, and sobbing. M. b. Deal in is, that I not 100 kg. man (I have 160 and 52 kg. )? ! But that wasn't very comforting. Therefore, all the remaining time we went to wonderful girls.
Mud. In every possible way I advertise Tha Ba (option - Tam Bun). My husband and I are absolutely delighted! But listen to advice! At the reception you order a car (on the wall on the right there is information on the arrival time of the shuttle), the price is 30.000 dong. (45 rubles). You arrive, don’t listen to anyone, don’t take prices, immediately go to the box office, give 120.000 (180 rubles), if you want to leave things in a storage room, a deposit of 20.000 dong. For this money you get everything the same, except for 5 pieces of fruit and a glass of tea (they offer a price of 900.000 dong). In addition, a cute girl does a very decent manicure for 30 rubles, a pedicure - the same amount, but without heel treatment.
Purchases. The main ones were made on Cho Dam. When haggling, say that it costs... at the Night Market (and name your price). For example - a silk kimono - 80.000 dong. (120 rubles), the lightest men's shirt - 90.000 (135 rubles), large cranes (2 pcs. ) - 280.000 (420 rubles). At the night market - mirrors, business card holders for 20.000 dong. (30 rubles). Gin - 135 rubles. 750 ml. , whiskey and rum - 90-135 rubles. for 750. Money was changed on our street - after leaving the hotel, go on the opposite side, go through the intersection and watch the course. In our time, it was $ 1 - 21.000 dong. Without denying ourselves anything (that is, absolutely! ) we spent $ 100 a day.
In short, something like this. Have a nice holiday! It's wonderful there! If anything, write.
Anna, Tomsk.
