Russian tourists have long trodden not only a trail - a high road to Nha Trang. This city in Central Vietnam suits various categories of vacationers: families with children, romantic couples, noisy youth, and surfers. Accordingly, hotels in Nha Trang exist for every taste, budget and solvency.
There are both luxurious "five" and budget hostels. But it is better - tourists assure - to choose the golden mean, that is, a four-star hotel. Some of these hotels are not inferior to the "five" in terms of quality of service, and accommodation in them is more democratic. One of the hotels of this category is the Legend Sea Hotel Nha Trang 4. In this article you will find the most detailed description of this hotel, based not on advertising brochures, but on real guest reviews.
Can I go to Nha Trang in March?
Vietnam stretches in a long and narrow strip from north to south along the Pacific coast. Therefore, despite the small area, the territory of the country is divided into three climatic zones. Vietnam in March is still ongoing cold rains in the north (near Hanoi) and the end of the high tourist season on the southern tropical island of Phu Quoc. What is the weather like in the first month of spring in Nha Trang?
Due to its central location, the resort experiences its most favorable period in March. Downpours, and even then short-term, lasting from 10 minutes to an hour, will overshadow your vacation a maximum of one or two times. But still there is no suffocating heat, like in summer. The temperature during the day is the most pleasant: +28 degrees. And the nights are also not cold (+ 24-25 ° С). The wind still raises high waves in the first decade of March, but at the end of the month the water element calms down. In any case, due to the indented coastline in Nha Trang, you can always find a beach where there is no storm. In this case, the lee side of Winpearl Island is ideal. All tourists say: it's worth going to Nha Trang in March. The weather won't let you down.

But the restaurant and pool are located on the roof. This circumstance is very popular with the guests. It's nice to swim or drink coffee and at the same time survey the ocean and the city from a bird's eye view. The pool is lit up in the evening making it a great backdrop for photos.
