THE BEST HOTEL WE'VE SEENGood afternoon, I’ll start with the fact that when choosing, I was guided by reviews and could not find at least one complete one, I hope mine will come in handy and be useful. The flight was a direct Vnukovo-Camranh flight, lasting 10 hours. I really enjoyed the comfortable and punctual flights both ways. Although they served meals only once, it was satisfactory if you are not too particular. Seats on the plane were pre-booked through the tour operator. Upon arrival, I checked in at the annex and received vouchers for the hotel transfer. The bus journey took 4 hours, which was long but interesting, as I enjoyed observing the scenery along the way. We arrived around 6 PM, reaching the hotel by approximately 1 PM. Check-in was prompt, and we were welcomed with a refreshing glass of juice. Our villa was located near the sea on the first floor. There were two chairs outside for drying towels or for guests to relax, as they preferred. The room was standard with panoramic windows; initially lacking curtains, we requested them and they were promptly installed. We kept the windows closed to prevent insects from entering, noting the unusual absence of a door in the toilet despite having one in the shower. Breakfast offered three types of juice, coffee, tea, ribs, chicken nuggets, stewed vegetables, noodles, fried eggs, and pho soup. There was also a salad bar, 3-4 types of fruits, pastries, sausages, and bacon, ensuring no one went hungry. Breakfast was served from 7:30 to 9:30 AM, and occasionally we managed to enjoy it twice. For lunch and dinner, we frequented the rooftop café opposite the hotel, one of the few eateries in the area. What impressed us most was the variety on the menu, including crocodile, ostrich, shrimp, and beautifully presented dishes. On average, including beer, meals cost us about $20 per day for two people. Beer was priced at 8,000 Dong, with take-out costing 10,000 Dong, considerably more expensive at the hotel. Prices for food items varied; for instance, pho soup was 60,000 Dong, noodles with pork 45,000 Dong, and shrimp around 80,000 Dong. Exotic items could cost up to 100,000 Dong. One could order a day's worth of crab for $35, a delicacy indeed. Local rum was priced at 65,000 Dong per liter, while fruits such as passion fruit were around 25,000 Dong per kilogram, and avocados were 25,000 Dong each. A liter of water cost 10,000 Dong, all available at the rooftop café, where complimentary local moonshine was also offered; a must-try after payment. Additionally, patrons received complimentary fruits such as watermelon, mango, passion fruit, or papaya. This was a gesture of goodwill by the server, who spoke Russian fairly well. The café attendant, a girl, spoke even better Russian, making communication easy. The sea was calm in the mornings, with low tides ideal for swimming. Occasionally, debris floated by, but it was tolerable. The beach was regularly cleaned, with security personnel patrolling both the shore and the pool area. A guard kindly provided a life vest to a Russian child swimming alone in the pool. The hotel offered a daily bus service to the city, a 45-minute journey each way, ample time to shop for essentials in the super layout, though there were a few smaller shops near the hotel with limited selections. Reception staff included someone fluent in Russian; on one occasion, a young man used Google Translate to assist. Fortunately, we did not encounter any major issues during our stay, though staff assured us they were ready to handle any concerns. Housekeeping maintained daily room cleaning, changing towels, making beds, and ensuring the toilet was sanitized. While cleanliness was not flawless—dust was noted on pictures and in the closet—guests received disposable brushes, a hat, soap, sewing kits, and cotton swabs. The room amenities included two bathrobes, two pairs of slippers, two bottles of water, and complimentary tea and coffee. Additional features were a safe, hairdryer, and a minibar stocked with beverages available for purchase. Television channels were limited to local broadcasts. The hotel grounds were beautifully landscaped, with orchids and flowers adding to its charm. Ample umbrellas and loungers were provided, although they were in high demand during the morning hours. We opted for an excursion to Dalat, including an overnight stay in Nha Trang. The journey from Nha Trang to the airport took 40 minutes, ensuring a comfortable return unless opting for a six-hour journey. Overall, we enjoyed the excursion, rating it 80%, particularly enjoying the exquisite dining experiences and luxurious accommodations in Nha Trang's 5-star hotel. While the hotel lacked entertainment options, it provided a peaceful respite from urban noise. For those seeking livelier activities, local clubs were easily accessible by taxi. The rooftop café also offered scooter rentals and $8 full-body massages, complete with pick-up and drop-off services. This convenient service enhanced our relaxation, underscoring the proximity and accessibility of local attractions and amenities.
