We stayed at this hotel for two weeks in March 2011.
Tour operator: “Biblio Globus” is not bad, what you paid for, you got it (in a good way). At the hotel, the guide Anastasia worked quite well for the entire period of our stay: at the first meeting she gave information about the hotel, the place of our temporary location, because e. Mui Ne, unobtrusively offered excursions, later called her up for information. Do not change money at the airport, the exchange rate is low, if you can’t bear it, you can do it from the guide on the bus. And yet, don’t buy a Beeline SIM card from him, because having bought it for 5$=100000 dong you will have only 2.5$=50000d. for intercity and $ 3 = 65000d. for internal calls, plus there is not always a connection with it (if you go on excursions). In the evening, you can buy a Vietnamese SIM everywhere at the hotel. A minute with Moscow is 4-6 rubles.
Flight: - "Transaero" flight UN561/562 from Sheremetyevo - HORRIBLE! ! There for 1.5, back for 2 hours of delay without explanation or apology. We flew back, the stewardess in our cabin before takeoff was already, to put it mildly, "unfriendly" tuned in to those whom she will have to serve, it’s good that she didn’t throw it in the face when distributing food. If possible, pay extra $ 100-150 and fly with normal airlines, and not with these garbage dumps.

About the hotel: -a lot of positive reviews, I won’t repeat it - good with many pluses and one fat minus - of course it’s a beach: a concrete slope with concrete steps into the sea. With a little sea, the entrance to it is problematic. Otherwise, everything is very, very worthy . We lived in a building on the second line - quiet, calm music in the pool bar, no noise of the sea and cars. The contingent of vacationers is 80% of Russian speakers, the rest are from all over the world. there was (at least in our building). At the reception there is a Russian-speaking Vietnamese named Lin, a very nice, helpful girl, she has been working only a month in this hotel, she will always help, because the staff does not understand English at all, and Russian at the same time. The rooms were cleaned cleanly, they left the money, they take it, they don’t disdain. The valuables were kept both in a suitcase under lock and key, and there was no crime in the safe. The hotel has free Wi Fi and Internet with antediluvian computers. There are free bicycles. In the evenings, after sunset , and this happened after 6 pm, people together go to the “eating places”, and then shop along the entire length of the resort area, since the shops are open until late. . suits, etc. ), but the quality is not bad.
About food: - breakfasts at the hotel are decent - first, second, fresh vegetables, fruits, juices. you will go towards the center - more expensive, towards the fishing village - cheaper. A couple of times we ate at fish stalls like BO KE - we didn’t experience much delight - not very clean and not very cheap. with seafood, beer cost around 10S per person. "Eat" their vodka and rum - delicious!
Excursions: -We went from Biblio Globus to Dalat, interestingly, we visited everywhere: coffee plantations, two waterfalls, a ride on the "Vietnamese" roller coaster, the longest cable car, an ostrich, an elephant, visited a silk factory, a hotel "Crazy House", we bought coffee. No luck with the guide (although they are all like that). Allegedly a Russian-speaking Vietnamese, but apart from the word "good" we did not understand anything. At the Lotos travel agency (Terracott Hotel area) for 55 S per person we went to Mount Taku (reclining Buddha), Binh Chau hot springs and a crocodile farm. The guide is also Vietnamese, but it was clear what he was saying. Here at the feet of the Buddha they made wishes, smeared themselves with mud, swam in mountain springs, fed crocodiles, ate their meat and ostriches.
In general, you can talk endlessly. Go, you will not regret it. An interesting country, friendly, hospitable people. Good luck.
