Now, when Egypt and Turkey are practically excluded from organized tourism, many who want to relax on the warm sea choose Vietnam. One of the best hotels in this country is Sandunes Beach Resort 4, which has already been visited by many of our compatriots.
What do we know about Vietnam
Gone are the days when Vietnam was mentioned in connection with the long American war, napalm and exorbitant loss of life.
The Indochina Peninsula, on which Vietnam is located, is washed by the South China Sea, and its closest neighbors are China, Laos and Cambodia. The form of government is a republic, and the Communist Party runs everything.
Vietnamese people are hardworking, welcoming and friendly. They treat everyone who speaks Russian with special warmth, remembering the Soviet Union with a kind word.
Vietnamese, French, Chinese and Russian can be heard in all hotels - including Sandunes Beach Resort 4.
Whenbetter to go to Vietnam
The high season lasts there from April to November. Locals distinguish between dry and wet seasons. The dry season is from December to April, during this time there is very little rain. Humid - from May to November, during this period it often rains, usually at night. Rains are short, no more than an hour, but the time of their appearance is a mystery of nature.
In February there is a real "velvet" season: very warm, no sweltering heat, low humidity, and the sea is quite warm.
Sandunes Beach Resort 4 operates all year round, and even out of season there are enough services that give he alth and good mood.
Phan Thiet Resort
Almost all of Vietnam is stretched along the coast of the sea, so the preferred type of vacation here is the beach. Phan Thiet is located in the south of the country, and between it and the village of Mui Ne there is a part of the coast on which all the best hotels are concentrated. From here, the capital Ho Chi Minh City is only 200 km away.
The resort's beaches are a constant topic of discussion. Some do not like the fact that the sand is very fine, the palm trees are far from the shore, and the water is cloudy from the waves, while others are not at all annoying. All that distinguishes the weather of different months from each other is the amount of rain. It's always warm here, on the coldest night + 25oS.

Reviews of Sandunes Beach Resort 4
The hotel is located on the first line, built in 2013. The rooms in the building and the bungalows are similar, but the bungalows are closer to the sea and somehow more comfortable from this. There are non-smoking rooms, there are 141 rooms in total. There are two restaurants, with local and European cuisine. You can swim to the bar from the pool. There is a kids club, animation and a gym. You can call a doctor, but this service is paid.
For those who miss the bustle of the city, two buses run from the hotel to Mui Ne, you can use the services of a round-the-clock taxi. The prices are ridiculous: 1 dollar=21,000 Vietnamese won. The staff is friendly, all requests are fulfilled quickly. They try not to notice some rude guests, at least they don't make any remarks to them.
The food is delicious, lots of seafood, lots of fruits, sweets and vegetables. Impressions remain the sweetest. Almost all guests return here, their number is growing.
