Reviews about Vietnam (Na Trang)
Positive:
- Weather, always the same temperature, albeit high. Accordingly, the water temperature is always stable.
- The local population is not yet accustomed to tourists.
- Sellers do not "rush" to tourists (unlike soviet Turkey and Egypt).
Negative:
- the age of vacationers is more than 40+, there are practically no young people - sadness (
- Chinese! It's crazy, they're everywhere. They behave in the most disgusting way: even those few of our compatriots who have not learned to behave normally look normal against their background.
They make noise, push, there are no signs “it is forbidden to walk on the lawn” for them (very pleasantly surprised, unlike the Chinese, the Russians did not trample only the planted grass).
- Chinese! I repeat - not everywhere and it is very frustrating and annoying.
- Money exchange. Rubles cannot be exchanged! This is very strange, considering that 1/5 of the tourists are from Russia (3/5 from China and the rest from other countries).
I visited 4 central banks, namely branches, they don’t exchange rubles anywhere, the same thing in hotels, jewelry and others. Everywhere change dollars. In our hotel, almost everything was changed, except for rubles.
- Departure. It's tough, it's much more difficult for them to fly away than for us, even though there is an airport the size of a doghouse. We stood at the front desk for 1h40m - lol! ! It's a piper! As a result, the last registrants barely had time to land. Many did not have time to sit in the waiting area, have a bite to eat and visit the dutik.
Hotel review.
In short: TTC Hotel Premium - Michelia (somewhere it is listed as TTC Hotel Premium Nha Trang 4 *) - the hotel is super! He corrected the whole impression of Vietnam. Thank you for such great service. This is better than 5* in Cyprus and 3* in Greece (which had the same excellent reviews at the time).
Positive:
- cleaning in the rooms. Every day, everything is changed and even the strongest mess is cleaned up. Left a tip 1.2, 4 € - did not take. maybe a little)
- air conditioning, unlike standard air conditioners, a well-thought-out climate control is installed here. The temperature cools slowly, the air flow itself is directed along the ceiling. The best that I have met among Thailand, Greece, Cyprus, Egypt.
- food is the most diverse: there are European cuisine and Chinese and Thai. Thais clean tables all the time, take away all used dishes at once during meals, like in restaurants. This is very convenient, given that visitors took 3.4 plates of food. He himself moved out 2 plates, scored a couple extra ..
- every dinner - fresh seafood on the grill: you collect how much and what you want. Shrimp overeat, tuna is very tasty. True, there was no crocodile - you can try it, and much more, in the grill garden for only 200 thousand baht. (~540 rubles per person).
Negative: None
Tour operator.
Went with Anex Tour. I can compare with Biblioglobus, Briska, Pegasus.
Service, the level of service is certainly better than Pegasus, approximately on par with the biblioglobus. From BG I flew to Thailand, and I want to note that there they learned how to skillfully squeeze money from tourists for all sorts of excursions. In Vietnam with Anex, either the employees were not so greedy, or they had not yet learned how to “milk” tourists - the employees were normal, they didn’t force anyone to go, they told normally, they didn’t pressure. In general, I liked it more than in BG.
Pros:
- Service is top notch.
- Not annoying employees.
- Thanks to Denis, with whom we visited Ho Chi Minh City.
- Even when departing from Moscow, an employee called to warn about the transfer of the flight.
Minuses:
- it seems that employees live in Vietnam for 1-3 years, and some cannot answer standard questions about the city: where can I exchange rubles (do they even know that they are not exchanged anywhere?
), normal (cheap) grocery stores and things, where it is better and what to buy on the road, when what opens and how long it works, and much more.
A wish to the tour operator: a huge request to notify tourists BEFORE leaving for the airport about how the inspection will take place at the airport and what attention will be paid to. Everyone already knows about the amount of alcohol exported from the Internet, but many were not aware of some fruits and souvenirs, as well as baggage allowance before arriving at the airport.
Excursion. From Anex I took one - Hochemin. In principle, it is satisfactory.
Positive:
- Museums - offset. I flew there mainly for them. Unfortunately, it took 1.5 hours for the catacombs and 1 hour for the war museum.
- Excellent guide - Denis! Knowledgeable, funny, responsible, attentive. Thank you very much!
Negative:
- Night city - nothing.
- All other stages of the tour - boredom.
An attempt to do similar excursions in Thailand, but still falls short.
Visited Winpearl amusement park on his own.
Super! It's worth spending a day or two on!
My advice to those who decide to go there:
1) How to get there - definitely a taxi.
Fast, convenient, relatively cheap! We went back and forth by taxi for two days - 110 each way (it turned out 110 +/- 5, taking into account the fact that the taxi drivers were different all 4 times). We returned in the evening, there were no price increases from taxi drivers who scared us.
2) Water and food with you.
We were there 2 times, both times neither us nor the people nearby were examined. It is possible that they forbid carrying baskets of food in the open, but in a backpack you can carry water with you and have a bite to eat.
3) When to go.
If possible from the very morning, it will be difficult to get around everything even in one day. For those who travel in the off-season, go in the morning (in the afternoon the sun hides behind the clouds - and it's not so hot).
For those who come on the hottest days, you may have to go after 13 - 14, when the sun begins to shine weaker.
4) Way back
It is worth remembering that it gets dark early in Vietnam, and after that it will no longer be possible to visit some parts of the park - the central part remains for the audience to visit.
If you want to visit the fountain show, then you can watch not the whole part, and leave in 5 minutes - as a result, you will queue for half an hour less.
If you return before the show, then there will be no special problems with the queues.
Positive:
- Weather, always the same temperature, albeit high. Accordingly, the water temperature is always stable.
- The local population is not yet accustomed to tourists.
- Sellers do not "rush" to tourists (unlike soviet Turkey and Egypt).
Negative:
- the age of vacationers is more than 40+, there are practically no young people - sadness (

I have always been a supporter of the idea that it is always better to see once than hear a hundred times... and therefore, on a trip, I filmed, filmed and filmed again... instead of going through a lot of letters, words and phrases here, I leave the video address on YouTube , where not only about the hotel.

Service is good. You can feel the diligence of the staff. One minus the carpet is dirty, apparently no longer cleaned. But it does not affect the score of 5 points. We lived in a deluxe premier room this out extra bed. Very nice view, 11th floor. Comfortable. Price and quality match.

Hotel MICHELIA(Michelia-4*), Nha Trang city (Nha Trang), VIETNAM (Jan-Feb 2013)
1) FLIGHT Yekaterinburg - Nha Trang. Airline - Nord Wind (Nord Wind), tour operator - Pegas. Fly about 9 hours. Arrival at KAMRAN airport, which is 30 minutes from Nha Trang. Other than Pegasus, we didn't see any other tour operators in Vietnam.
2) The Michelia Hotel is a 30-minute walk from the "European street", where there are many shops, cafes, restaurants, tours. agencies. It's even good, we were quiet and there were no crowds of walking tourists, compared to the center. If you go there by taxi, it turns out to be about 60 rubles, so in Vieta everyone takes a taxi when they get tired of walking, it's cheap.
3) Settled very quickly (5-10min), room on the 9th floor, overlooking the sea. From floors 1-8, the room will most likely have a view of the buildings. We flew as newlyweds and were pleasantly surprised by the bed and bath with rose petals, honeymoon cake and fresh fruit every 3-4 days.
4) MEETING WITH THE GUIDE: the guide scared everyone to death that in Vietnam - bags are stolen; tourists are beaten; do not take mopeds; here all the locals wear masks because they get cholera. In street travel agencies they are deceiving, in short, you only need to go with Pegasus for all excursions and then everything will be fine. Those who were abroad for the first time - 100% fell into the guide's trap. After listening to his “passions”, we took the price list and went to travel agencies (there are about 20-30 of them throughout Nha Trang). Prices are much cheaper, lunches are included, guides speak Russian, small groups of 10-12 people, in short, "EVERYTHING IS AS NECESSARY").
5) FOOD: After walking around different cafes and restaurants for several days, we wandered into “Sea Breeze Restaurant, (address - 111B Nguyen Thien Thuat, Nha Trang, Vietnam) and more from there for 2 weeks “did not climb out” !! ! Sometimes, they even had lunch and dinner there. The restaurant has Italian, Mexican, Vietnamese, European cuisine (the menu is huge)!! ! We met Russian tourists there who have been vacationing in Vietnam for 2 months and constantly dined at See Breeze. We met two more couples and then, without saying a word, met several times at See Breeze. They cook not in 5 minutes, but everything is fresh, and where to hurry, we are on vacation - we took rum and Coca-Cola and the expectation of dinner passed unnoticed. It even happened like this: they took rum for lunch, if they didn’t drink all of it, then they left it in a restaurant, and during dinner they drank it there !!!
There is also a cafe "The Local" and "The Local II" (also very tasty, but more expensive). By the way, in Vietnam they speak Russian almost everywhere (at least a little, but they also speak the menu somewhere in broken Russian, and somewhere without errors).
6) SEA and POOL: From the hotel "Michelia" the sea is 2-3 minutes. walk across the road. If you are a fan of jumping on the waves, WELCOME!! ! The beach is public. But Michelia has her own fenced area, 10 umbrellas, 20 deck chairs. They also provide mattresses if the sun loungers are all occupied. But sunbeds are still not enough! The swimming pool is located in the inner part of the hotel. Nearby is a regular school. So, as soon as the children have a break, the poolside hotel plays music to muffle the squealing children. Sun loungers by the pool are also not enough (13-14 pieces). In the evenings, they turn on music and show clips or Fashion TV on a huge screen. In the evenings, you can also swim in the pool.
7) SHOPPING: Near the hotel Michelia is the market "CHO DAM" (7-10 minutes walk). There is everything you want here: things, fruits, souvenirs, watches, glasses (although in comparison with Thailand - the choice of goods in terms of quality is NEVER).
There is a shopping center "Nha Trang - CENTER" (here on the 1st floor to the left of the entrance you can change money, well, or at the hotel reception). If you walk from the Michelia Hotel along the embankment - 20 minutes to the Nha Trang Center. If you leave the hotel and turn immediately to the right, when you reach the crossroads turn left, then in 10 minutes you will reach. If you take a taxi, then 2-3 minutes and 20-30 rubles and you are there. ($100 =2.080. 000 Vietnamese dong on 02/01/2013. By the way, banknotes are desirable -$50, $100 and not wrinkled).
8) Nha Trang is one big construction site. Hotels are growing like "mushrooms by leaps and bounds" (this is good, everything is growing, everything is developing). The Vietnamese get up very early and from 6 in the morning you can already hear knocking at construction sites, endless BEEPING on the roads. At 7 o'clock in the morning, children in schools are already singing songs to the fullest. At 22.00 - shops and almost all cafes are closed and the city falls asleep.
9) EXCURSIONS: it is necessary to compare what is included in the cost of excursions. Approximate prices: DALAT city (1600 m above sea level): pegasus - $ 70 per person, world tour - $ 30, exotic tour - $ 40. Yangbei Waterfall - pega-$45, world-$30, exotic-$35. Saigon city for 2 days: peg - $ 375 for 1 person. By plane (fly 1 hour), world - $ 200 (train, ride in a compartment 9 hours), exotic - $ 179.
10) Tourism has just begun to develop in Vietnam, do not expect such a variety of excursions and entertainment as in Thailand. On the contrary, we even really liked that we were able to see another "NEOTOURIST" Vietnam !!!
11) International law does NOT apply.
12) We rented mopeds from a Russian travel agency, no documents are needed. 1 day rental = 100.000 wnd (150 rubles). Be sure to wear a helmet! The police do not slow down, but the movement is like "random Brownian motion of particles". When we were pedestrians, we crossed the road with the motto “WE NEED!!! ”
13) Vinpearl Land - Water Park (Water Park).
We got into a taxi, said - Winperl and went to the cable car (110.000-120.000 wnd, i. e. 160-180 rubles). Taxi drivers know everything: the first stop is to buy an entrance ticket ($ 23 per person), the second stop is to go through the turnstile and get into the cab, and “fly” along the cable car over Nha Trang Bay for about 15 minutes. On Winpearl Island: neochen water slides (joints, seams - red scratched backs, if on bagels - then it's normal). Slides work according to the schedule, it is posted next to each slide. There is a 2-storey building - there are slot machines, karaoke, cars, bull riding and a lot of things to have fun and fool around. Is free. There is an electric sled (cool, we liked it). There is a huge aquarium. You can see how divers-workers feed turtles, sharks and cute fish. At 19.00 the show begins - "SINGING FOUNTAINS" - very beautiful! The food on Vinperl is mostly fast food. We ate at Lotteria, which is near the cable car.
14) We ourselves went to the Institute of Oceanography. Address of the Institute of Oceanography: No. 1, Cau Da Port, Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province. There was no guide, but if you follow the signs with arrows: continuation of the inspection (in Russian), then you can go around everything yourself in 1-1.5 hours. The aquarium on the ground floor consists of 23 tanks in which representatives of the local marine fauna live. The showroom displays several thousand dissected specimens of sea creatures. Also a huge number of shells from tiny to giant. It was very interesting to look at the skeleton of a giant whale: 3 meters high and 26 meters long.

Of the pluses, besides the fact that the new hotel did not find a single one. The staff speaks fluently only in Vietnamese, which we did not have time to study before the trip. Breakfasts have never been more modest. Rice, noodles, scrambled eggs and no seafood, two of the cheapest fruits. Air conditioner with the airflow rate adjustment function disabled.

The beach is marked only geographically. In fact, four umbrellas and eight sunbeds. Underpants are floating at the bottom, and the waste products of the Vietnamese. Somehow the most beautiful nature brightens up the impression. What will be interesting will be written later.

The hotel is new, yes, but that's where the positives end.

The hotel is new, yes, but that's where the positives end. To begin with, there are no clocks at the reception at all, when they told the chief manager about this, for some reason he promised to put a clock in the room, WHICH HE DID NOT DO. There is not a single Russian-speaking staff, English with a lot of time and nerves can be explained from 1 and then not every day, the main managers speak both very weakly and again, it is not always clear. In general, it’s just a disaster with this, it’s impossible to explain anything, and not because they are stupid, they really want to understand what you need, they just don’t understand. The fault of management, of course. The Russian channel didn’t work for 15 days out of 18, nothing can be achieved, they say the rain has passed, with fear I think what could happen if something worse than rain happened. I didn’t get hot water at all, they came twice twice did it , for the third time, the water itself was pouring lukewarm as always, they show that they say what you need, I opened a cold one for them, the difference is 5 degrees, and I love a contrast shower - I spat so as not to spoil my vacation. They save a lot on electricity, in the dining room and corridors the hotel is stuffy, a little blowing at the reception. The breakfasts are so modest that I want to add to the management for poverty, there is no seafood at all, except for 3-4 small shrimps in a common pile of cheap noodles such as doshirak, meat one kind of something swollen boiled, three kinds of fruit from the cheapest, no variety in general, everything is the same all 18 days, and if something is over, then they report not earlier than in an hour. Somehow I was sitting waiting for my notes. But I didn’t have time to eat, they grab the plate along with the cutlery, so for breakfast you will have time to change everything at least 4-5 times. Dessert, 3 types of the same pastries, and one type, more or less tasty , immediately ends and no longer resumes, apparently worth its weight in gold. I really didn’t suffer very much, I had enough pho soups, but the children spat great (they were 20 years old). Separately, about the sunbeds, there are only 8 of them on the sea, as you like, divide them for 500 people, you need to borrow from 6 o'clock or pay the guards who bring these sunbeds with linen umbrellas and take them away every day. No, like they can be reserved at the reception, only there is no sense in this, since it’s impossible to explain to them that it doesn’t work - they won’t understand. Linen umbrellas, so there’s no sense in them, you burn under them like in the open sun, you get burned terribly, the sun burns unchildishly even after 8 o’clock you have to wash off, but you want to buy and just soak in the shade, so the only salvation is cream - at least 80 well, or go to paid sunbeds. sips are generally big savers, Conclusion: it looks good,
but in fact it’s uncomfortable to rest in it, Yes, I forgot, the mattress and pillows are very similar to an instrument of torture, apparently in order to serve longer they were made so hard that the difference between the board and them is only in the sheets, and from the pillow in general the head flies off like from a ball - I returned home with a sore back and neck and the massages did not help, I wanted to ask for a replacement, but as I remembered how much work was needed to explain this to them, I changed my mind. And yet, the Internet is full d, , , , you can’t speak on Skype in the room at all, you can, but it’s bad, in the corridor and at the reception, but the corridor is wild stuffy (we save electric energy), and it’s not always convenient to run to the reception!
