I am currently at the hotel, local time here - 08.20 am, January 6th.
The claim of the hotel for 5 stars, unfortunately for vacationers, is not justified. Discouraging
breakfast in this hotel.
Breakfast is incomparable, even with an ordinary three-star hotel, because there is COMPLETELY no assortment. I've been here since December 30, and for example, I have never been honored to try fish for breakfast, not to mention the varieties of seafood, which are here at a price "the client forgets everything in the world. "

Further, it is worth noting the pastries of this hotel... I by no means call for a bake like in Italy and France... But the price for the hotel and the level of stardom must be simply matched, because pastries should be DELICIOUS, but here they are not tasty , puff pastry, dry, the whole range of the same dough, when you bite off - everything crumbles. There are few fruits, especially those for which we go to exotic countries, because. At this stage of development, Vietnam has nothing more to attract, and this will not change soon. As for just breakfast dishes, I’ll describe how it looks in reality: six devices for keeping hot hot, practically just open and close... of which every day two or three types of rice, the remaining three are noodles, some kind of meat, by the way, beef in Vietnam - everywhere "neahti", sausages are always cold, despite the fact that they are in the device for hot.
NOW ABOUT TEA AND COFFEE. For the only hotel 5 * it's just a shame. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life. Dear readers, tea for breakfast is served as follows: "on the stove there is a constantly heated teapot, with a capacity of approximately 1 liter, in which sometimes one, and sometimes two bags (YES, PACKAGE, simple disposable bags) of DILMAH tea", the waiters politely offer to pour into your cup. In such a hotel, unfortunately, it is not even possible to take this bag yourself and pour yourself tea. This is 5*. Coffee - also in a fireproof kettle on the stove, to taste - neither American nor Vietnamese, nothing good, they don't do cappuccino, they make espresso, and attention, they charge 2 USD for it. Everywhere - for free, but not here.
The cook in the hall bakes tasteless pancakes and waffles (Viennese) all from the same dough.
Let me tell you, it's a delicious soup. With traditional broth. Better soup in this resort no one cooks anywhere, even in any restaurants, for a fee. In addition to soup, there are fresh juices, for some reason (perhaps for the sake of economy) diluted with ice, every day a choice of 4 juices, in comparison with Mexico, for example, where 6 juices are not diluted, this is impressive. Sometimes they serve decent cheese. That's all. By the size of the territory, breakfast occupies several tables against the wall, with a total length of no more than 6 meters, all this is the ONLY hotel in the resort 5 *.

The hotel is really beautiful, new, in the bathroom - natural stone. There is a Russian-speaking employee - Sergey, which is very convenient for Russian tourists. Every day they clean EXCELLENTLY, sometimes they come a second time in the evening, not every day, but they leave fruit in the room, bed linen is not changed every day, there really are bathrobes, slippers - in my opinion, they are indicated in the description for show, these are black rubber flip flops, Vietnamese size, it's about the 37th. . . They are definitely "perfect for Russian men" for example.
In general, for a trip of 12 days they took 200.000 rubles from me, this is provided that I have an agency where I do it for myself, attention: THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE discount, from the tour operator 10 and from myself 10 percent, for the layman it is not 200 , and 240 thousand rubles for Vietnam, where, unfortunately, there is still a weak level of experience in providing service and development in general. From the airport, I note to go 7 hours, and not 4-5, as tour operators write.
Dear readers, the weather is impressive. Such a sophisticated eye has not yet observed, the heat, at 28 Celsius, is wonderfully tolerated, a light breeze, it is also warm at night, the humidity is relative, you can swim in January. The sea is here, keep in mind - the ocean, THERE IS NO CALL!! !
