After reading incomprehensible reviews, we went on an independent trip. Tickets for all flights at once were bought in Moscow for Vietnamese airlines. Flights are normal, almost never shakes. For those who are interested, it shakes only on domestic flights, although the planes are excellent, it doesn’t take long to fly there. Moscow-Ho Shimin, from Ho Shimin-Nya Trang (40 min) docking 3 hours. Back from Nha Trang to Hanoi (1.40 min) overnight in Hanoi, Hanoi-Moscow. Vietnamese airlines, of course, not Qatari, but you can fly (I'm talking about courtesy of the stewards). There are a lot of taxis at the Nha Chang airport with a fixed price of 380.000 VND (1 dollar = 20.800 VND), back from the hotel it’s cheaper to order a car at the reception at the hotel 250.000. 9 years - 63 dollars per day with breakfast. The room is not big, but clean, cleaning and change of linen (for whom it is important! ) - daily. Allowed, I would even say, with pleasure, to take food to the room from breakfast, I wore it to my husband and son. Breakfast is early from 6 to 9, and they have time 3 hours ahead. So mine, at first, categorically refused to get up. As for hotels and places, you don’t have to think that there was no hotel or cafe at the door, there were only 15 hotels in our lane. The hotel is conveniently located, but at the bottom there is a road. This fact did not bother me, but my husband began to say that he did not get enough sleep, because mopeds and cars constantly signal to each other, and at night the noise of the sea and the wind are strong. Once we were walking, and 5 minutes walk from our hotel we saw a clean little hotel, we went in, looked at the room. It is 2 times larger than ours, and the balcony is 2 times larger, clean and quiet - $ 23 per day, after living 5 days in the first hotel, we moved to another. What we do not regret. The hotel is always empty - only on weekends the Vietnamese families come, but they were also somehow not heard. True breakfast is worse. But it didn't make us sad. Firstly, there are a lot of fruits for sale around, kettles in all rooms. And to the left and again to the left of our hotel there was a cafe, we found it late, because we decided to visit all the restaurants and cafes, since everything is not expensive and tasty there from 7 in the morning to 22! They have a family business there. If anyone is interested, I will write exactly where this cafe is. There were no Russians there, only the British. I really like to cook myself and try other cuisine - it's a pleasure for me, we were there everywhere it was both more expensive and cheaper, but not tasty. . . In fact, it doesn't always taste good. In this cafe, the average check for 3 people is 390.000 dong with fresh juice and beer. In other restaurants, up to 700.000. We tried sea food, only here we liked how it was cooked. By the way, who is too lazy to go to breakfast, you can order huge sandwiches with chicken and vegetables for 30.000 each. (I couldn’t eat it). In general, I recommend! As for the famous Louisiana, the portions are small, everything is 2-3 times more expensive, the beer is NOT LIVE!! ! By the way, the prices for beer and water are almost the same everywhere. If someone wants to go to the mud, you should ONLY go to the old mud. By taxi there, less than 100.000 (150 rubles), it is better to go for the whole day, it is MANDATORY to do a massage there - from head to toe - 5 dollars. Regarding excursions, guides and Russians who live there sell dearly, about $ 50 per person. Cheaper, order a car at the reception for the whole day (the driver will be waiting) - $ 36, and tickets 60.000 (input), 30.000 per child. I must add that 36 dollars is for, as it were, two places, mud and monkey island. You need to go to this island, but you have to be careful - the monkeys BITE! Aunty, who sells food for them there, showed her hands, all scarred. With us, the woman was also bitten by a male. About VIN Pearl, you need to visit, also for the whole day - 400.000 tickets for an adult and 380.000 for a child. Many water slides and roller coasters, swings, carousels and 2 floors of slot machines (also included in the price! ). It’s good there, only on the cable car, it was somehow for me and my son. . . not comfortable, because we heard enough of all kinds of talk there, but the Vietnamese themselves consider it safe. I write and think, but you can’t describe everything! We liked it in Nha Trang, more than in Hanoi! People are generally friendly and ready to help. Everyone smiles at you, because you are their earnings. No need to rush to buy something right away, you need to ask the price and then bargain. . . all the way, the last argument in the auction - return everything to the merchant and pretend to leave - then he immediately agrees to your price, but if you don’t agree, believe me, you will find it elsewhere at the right price. It comes to curiosities, as they shout "Madame" and roll their eyes, and sing and dance and lie across their bones. . . Circus, in other words. Husband laughed! I will not write what and where and how much you can buy, anyone interested, ask, I will answer. So, wine, cigarettes, everywhere and not expensive. Offered her husband and girls and smoke. . . Beach-sand, cleaned every morning, the sea is warm. During the day, the sun fries strongly, you need to beware !! ! In case of burns, buy a cream with aloe or in the grocery department of Nha Trang center - huge leaves, live aloe are sold for a penny. EVERYTHING came in handy for us, although we had creams with maximum protection! We liked it, we'll go again! Sorry for the confusion, if something is not clear, write to lirab@inbox. ru.
