But where to stay and what hotel to choose? In this article, we will look at a hotel called Nha Trang Beach Hotel. We built its description solely on the reviews of vacationers.
How to get to Nha Trang
Unfortunately, direct flights from Moscow fly to this resort in Central Vietnam only once a week. From the capital "Domodedovo" they are carried out by Vietnam Airlines. For independent tourists, this can be somewhat difficult. But the same air carrier company sends flights to Nha Trang from Ho Chi Minh City and the country's capital with an enviable frequency. So getting to the resort with a transfer might be the best option. For example, it takes an hour to fly here from Ho Chi Minh City, and the trip will cost, as reviews say, only twenty-eight dollars. In addition, during the high tourist season (winter-spring), a whole squadron of charters flying from various cities of Russia lands at Nha Trang airport. The resort has recently acquired its own hub: until 2001, Cam Ranh was an air base. This airport is located thirty kilometers from the city. You can get to the resort from the airport by taxi (fifteen dollars) or by bus ($2). According to reviews, Nha Trang occupies an advantageous position almost in the middle of Vietnam, stretched from north to south. Throughthe city is a railway line connecting Hanoi with Ho Chi Minh City. You can also get to Nha Trang from the two main cities of Vietnam by bus. The journey from Ho Chi Minh City will take seven hours. The station is located in the northern part of the city.
When is the best time to go to Nha Trang
Best in the cold season. When dank and damp weather reigns in Russia, Vietnam (Nha Trang) will greet you with sun and wrap you in warmth. You can relax here all year round. After all, unlike North Vietnam, there is no winter in Nha Trang. The water temperature does not fall below +24 degrees, and the air - +22. As the reviews mention, in summer the sea does not bring the desired coolness. The heat reaches its peak - +32 degrees. Tourists call March-April the best time to visit Central Vietnam. The temperature of the air and the sea is then the most comfortable. Although most charter flights from Russia begin to arrive in winter. From September the weather starts to deteriorate: Vietnam (Nha Trang) covers the rainy season. It lasts until December. In May and June, despite the dryness of the air and the low probability of precipitation, winds blow that cause waves at sea. However, if you are a keen surfer, you need to go to Central Vietnam at the beginning of summer. But do not trust the tales about the horrors of the rainy season so much. Precipitation is plentiful, but short-lived. You will certainly get your share of sun and tan. And at a lower price. Tours to Nha Trang require an average of 25 thousand rubles from the traveler. However, prices largely depend on the season, length of stay and category.hotel.
Nha Trang beaches
The resort is considered the beach capital of Vietnam, and that says it all. The local sand is crushed and ground multi-colored shells. This coverage of the seven-kilometer beach allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature even under the scorching tropical sun. Tourists claim that such sand does not bake their feet. And at the same time, heavier shells do not form a nasty dirty suspension in the surf. Unlike most sandy beaches, the water in the sea near Nha Trang is always clear and turquoise. The approach is gentle, but not so as to walk knee-deep to a depth of several hundred meters. The beaches are well equipped. But tourists warn: almost all of them are municipal. Only two "five" have their own beach in Nha Trang: Ana Mandara Beach Resort and Sofitel. The last hotel is located on an island near the coast. As for the three-star Nha Trang Beach Hotel, it is located seventy meters from the city beach. In order to get to the sea, you need to cross the road. The traffic along it is lively, there is no traffic light, but tourists say: it’s scary only the first time. Do not throw yourself under the wheels of trucks, and scooters, motorcycles and other modes of transport will definitely bypass you if you do not fuss and rush from side to side. On the beach there is a rental of umbrellas and sunbeds (eighty thousand dong per day for two).
Nha Trang Hotel Stock
There are only three five-star hotels in the resort. Of these, it is worth mentioning the Sofitel chain hotel, which entirely occupies a smallisland. There are two more "fours" - "Yasaka" and Que Huong. Bao Dai's Villas is located on the territory of the villa of the last Vietnamese king Bao Dai. The lion's share of the hotel base of the resort (about 50) are 3hotels. Nha Trang (Vietnam) is famous for its high level of service, therefore, reviews say, you should not be afraid to settle in "three rubles". In each of them you will find a comfortable stay. Their rooms are equipped with air conditioning, TVs, and the bathroom often has a separate bath and shower. All 3 star hotels have swimming pools. True, in some it is located on the roof of the building. As for the infrastructure, it is at the highest level: free Wi-Fi (including in rooms), bike and moped rental, one or more restaurants. But in the hotel we are interested in (Nha Trang Beach 3) there is no pool. His absence is compensated by the high class of rooms. They are spacious, some with terraces. Local "three rubles" is a profitable and economical option for relaxing in an exotic country. On average, a double room in hotels of this category costs one and a half to two thousand rubles per night.
Where is the hotel located
All hoteliers in the world sin with the desire to name their institution sonorously and beautifully. As a result, confusion arises. Even locals can direct you to a hotel with a similar name: Palm Beach 3Nha Trang. It's okay if the taxi driver drops you at the gate of this hotel. The hotel we are interested in is located on a parallel street. This is the very center of the European quarter of Nha Trang. Everything that may interest a tourist is undersideways. Directly opposite is a city bus stop (a ticket for it costs seven thousand dong). With this mode of transport, it is convenient to get to the market (and tourist attraction) Cho Dam, to the Maxi Market supermarket. And two small grocery stores are generally within walking distance. A landmark for your hotel, however, as well as for the Palm Beach Nha Trang hotel, will be a high-rise forty-five-story building. To the sea - two minutes walking distance. If it happens that it is windy and there are big waves on the city beach, do not be discouraged. Take the number 4 bus from the hotel and go to the final stop. On the beach "Panagan" is always calm. The hotel we are interested in is close to the airport (half an hour drive) and to local sightseeing attractions: Long Son Pagoda and Po Nagar Tower.
Which number to choose
Guest rooms at Nha Trang Beach Hotel are categorized as Superior, Deluxe City View, VIP City View and VIP Sea View. As the name implies, the sea view is available only from the last, most expensive class of rooms. They are spacious and have an adjoining terrace. Tourists who travel to Nha Trang are usually accommodated in deluxe suites. They are smaller in area, and the windows often overlook a corridor, a ventilation shaft or a construction site. At the reception when you check in, you can pay ten dollars a day extra, and you will be placed in VIP Sea View. And in the superior rooms there are no windows at all, or they face the construction site. The equipment of the rooms also depends on the category. Excellent soft and spacious beds in VIPs anddeluxe. Everywhere there are air conditioners, TVs with cable channels, free Internet directly in the room, an electric kettle with accessories for self-brewing drinks. There is a mini-bar. Its contents - nuts, wine, etc. - are paid. Judging by the reviews, the tourists used the minibar as a refrigerator for their products. But the maids always leave two bottles of mineral water when they clean up. The bathrooms (in deluxe - shower) have a hairdryer and toiletries. VIP rooms are provided with slippers and a bathrobe. The rooms are equipped with real bathrooms. Guests warn that they are settled in rooms only from fourteen hours. Things can be left in the lobby under the supervision of a video camera. By the way, the policy of the hotel is such that passports are returned only after check-out from the room, so do not forget to make photocopies of your documents. They clean the rooms well even without a tip, there were no complaints in the reviews. This hotel is a typical local "three-ruble note". Similar reviews about the rooms are also left by guests of the neighboring hotel - Palm Beach Hotel Nha Trang.
Nha Chang Beach Hotel Services
This is a city type hotel. So do not count on a huge park surrounding the building. There is only parking and a couple of flower beds. There is a souvenir shop in the lobby, as well as a tour desk. When booking a hotel, you can order a transfer from the airport and back. For business meetings the hotel has a conference room. But the pool, unlike the neighboring Palm Beach Hotel Nha Trang, does not have a hotel of interest to us. His absencemanagement tries to make up for with excellent 24/7 service. The girls at the reception know a little Russian, they are always friendly and try to please you as much as possible. The hotel has laundry facilities and currency exchange. You can also arrange a car rental at the reception. Nha Trang is positioning itself as a family holiday destination. Therefore, services for children are quite developed here. The restaurant has high chairs for babies. However, if you would like to have a baby cot in your room (for a child under two years old), this paid service must be agreed in advance. As for the miscalculations in the service of tourists, the reviews mention only the absence of any strings for drying swimsuits and underwear. But this is a seaside hotel. Take a string with you. During the rainy season, tourists are advised to hang clothes in the bathroom. There is a fan running and everything dries in no time.
What and where to eat
At the Nha Trang Beach Hotel, breakfast is included in the room rate. It takes place in a buffet restaurant. Guests were very pleased with breakfast. Traditionalists found everything familiar in food: scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, pancakes. Exotic lovers praise saigonki, mini-rolls, fried rice, Vietnamese noodles with vegetables stewed in sauce. What surprised the tourists was the fact that soup is served here for breakfast. And not one, but three of them. From the "must tray" reviews recommend tasting Pho soup. Where can you have lunch and dinner? Right next to the hotel you will find a lot of small "sidewalk" stalls selling necks,fresh juices and fruits. In cafes, prices are average in the city - it makes no sense to go somewhere for cheapness. From the reviews, we can conclude that delicious and plentiful food is served in the Rock Cafe on the third line (second turn from the hotel to the right), in the Spanish cafe La Mancha with live music, the Tarantino bar (excellent hookah), Louisiana ". Fans of authentic Vietnamese cuisine should visit the Hon Kien restaurant (on the opposite side from the sea, not far from the Greek tavern). Those who cannot live a day without Slavic dishes can satisfy their nostalgia for their homeland at Check Point. Reviews also advise you to look into the "Ganesha" to taste the delights of Indian cuisine.
Excursions in Nha Trang
The convenient location of the hotel (as well as neighboring - Palm Beach Nha Trang), makes it a good starting point for independent travel. What is included in the local "must si"? First of all, this is the island of Chi-Nguyen, on which there are: a water park, Vinpearl Land amusement town, an aquarium and a 3D cinema. Even if you are indifferent to these entertainments, you should still visit this attraction of the resort, because the longest cable car in the world, Vinpearl, leads to it. An equally interesting tour that you can do on your own is diving into the interesting and exciting world of coral reefs. The South China Sea, according to reviews, is in this regard a worthy competitor to the Red. If diving is too much for you, snorkeling (swimming and snorkeling) is also suitable. Tourists do not recommend contactingtour desks at hotels. The same services, but at a price less than half, can be found with operators on the street. Reviews recommend starting your acquaintance with Vietnam with a sightseeing tour of Nha Trang. It includes a visit to the Po Nagar Towers built during the Cham Dynasty (seventh to twelfth centuries), Long Son Pagoda, Giant Buddha Statue, Nha Trang Cathedral, Hon Chong Cape and Cho Dam Market. There are also museums in the resort: the oceanographic museum and the museum named after Alexandre Yersin. Nature lovers can go on excursions to Monkey Island, That Ba mud baths, Yangbai and Baho waterfalls. Once in Central Vietnam there was a separate kingdom of Champa. Reviews enthusiastically talk about an excursion to the ancient capital and the spiritual center of this state - the land of Michon. The sanctuary includes seventy sacred structures.
Vietnam, Nha Trang: prices
Traveling in Asia, you need to know two rules. First: buy where the locals shop. And the second rule: do not hesitate to bargain. Prices for the same product can vary significantly. For example, carved wood figurines in the local supermarket cost, translated into Russian rubles, about a hundred thousand. Stuffed alligators are popular among we althy tourists (from thirty to three hundred thousand rubles). In principle, Nha Trang is a resort spoiled by visitors, it can hardly be called a budget one. Jewelry and branded electronics are sold at prices higher than in Russia. Reviews advise you to go shopping at the Cho Dam Bazaar. It all depends on your ability to bargain. You can bring the price down to half earlierdeclared. Usually tourists bring home summer clothes, tea, coffee, fruits. The popularity of local medicinal potions is not decreasing. Python oil and ointment with cobra venom, coconut oil and the classic Vietnamese "asterisk" are sold without a prescription in any pharmacy. Rental of beach equipment on local coasts is paid. Daily use of a sunbed will cost one hundred and twenty rubles. Food (as, indeed, everywhere else) is very dependent on the class of the establishment. Let's put it this way: in a cafe, a tight meal together will cost 200-250 thousand dong. But the prices for seafood "bite": for lobsters they ask for eight hundred thousand, and for a kilo of shrimp - three hundred and fifty thousand dongs. Excursions from street operators cost from twelve (overview of Nha Trang) to twenty-five dollars (to the Northern Islands or to the Yangbai waterfall).
