Hello everyone. We are currently vacationing at this hotel in (July 2024). As they say, a "hot" review, let's tell you what hurt. When choosing a hotel, I was bribed by the territory, beautiful photos, a large swimming pool, my own beach. Upon arrival, we were also impressed with the territory, the opportunity to walk, liked the bungalow and that we got it near the restaurant. But then there were difficulties that we want to tell you about.
Among the advantages: large territory, separate bungalows, quiet. Everything is here for a relaxing holiday, there is no music anywhere. Koreans come on weekends and it gets noisier. There are many bungalows throughout the territory, usually with 4 separate entrances. There is also a separate building, consisting of 4 floors, there are apparently rooms with balconies. They drive electric cars from the reception. Our bungalow: the room is small, but there is a large bathroom with a bathtub, shower and toilet. Every day, they change towels, top up shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Room cleaning, also every day. Friendly staff. The room has a kettle, glasses, tea, coffee, hairdryer (normal power, and portable). There are few outlets, they took an extension cord, it came in handy.
Of the cons: only breakfast, and for lunch and dinner you will have to go to a restaurant, which is quite expensive compared to the city, 4 times. Approximately: dinner for two 980,000 dong, a dish of rice and vegetables with meat 2 servings, 2 salad, 2 freshly squeezed juices and a small plate of fruits. In the city, you can eat for two for 600,000 dong. We went to a restaurant with an entrance of 295,000 dong and a buffet. As of July 2024, the dollar exchange rate was 25,000 dong, provided that you have a dollar bill of a new sample. The old sample is 24,000. Do not change at the airport, there is even less.
The food is varied in the hotel restaurant, for every taste. And even if they had taken full board, it would not have saved them from the lack of variety in food (since there is a buffet for breakfast, and for lunch and dinner, what they bring, you have no choice). We have already learned this here ourselves. Seafood is only in the city, there are plenty of them on the menu here, which is not available in the city. For example, for breakfast, seafood (fish pieces) in noodles, crab sticks. Meat or mushrooms from protein foods. Mainly rice, noodles, vegetables, herbs, pastries, yogurt, cereals, spices and sauces, some Korean national food, as well as eggs, fruits.
There is a language barrier. Of course, you can explain yourself on your fingers, but as stated, there is no Russian-speaking staff at the reception, English from the staff leaves much to be desired. I had to resort to the phone and translate my speech into Vietnamese.
There are no cafes or shops near the hotel. Water in the room every day, 2 bottles of 0.5. There is tea at the reception, but you will not take bottled water anywhere else if you drink 2 bottles from the room. There is nowhere to eat except the local restaurant, the restaurant closes at 22.00.
It takes 23 minutes to get to the city, usually 120,000 VND by taxi (plus or minus a couple thousand VND, depending on the end point).
Another disadvantage is the beach at the hotel. The bottom is terrible, clay and small stones, debris in the water and on the beach. The sun beds are uncomfortable. And from 10.00 the tide is out, it's terribly not convenient to swim, as it gets shallow, the water is dirty from the bottom. You need to walk far from the shore to at least reach the waist. But the bottom is disgusting slippery clay. Having bought in a light swimsuit (or cotton clothing that protects from the sun), the clothes are not washed. The smell is terrible. There are no washing machines, even for money. They washed it themselves, with soap that they brought with them. There is a hotel nearby, an electric car departs from it, which takes you to a distant beach, it costs 80,000 dong. You need to buy a ticket there separately. The sand and sea are cleaner on this beach, the sun beds are more comfortable (with mattresses), there is a shower and toilet. There is also no cafe, do not buy water.
There is a large swimming pool on site. It consists of 3 sections, 1.2 m each (two at the edges) and 1.8 in the center. In fact, not 1.8, but about 1.5, for those who like to swim and dive, it will not work (the bottom is about 1 m along the edges, where it is shallow and then a sharp descent to the middle of the pool). When walking along the bottom of the pool, you need to look down so as not to stumble. And if you want to swim, then approaching the edge, you need to look at the bottom so as not to hurt your feet on the ledge of the bottom. It is probably aimed at children or those who are at odds with water. But you can cool off. Towels can not be taken from the house to the sun beds, here they can be taken at the pool under the recording of their room, and in the evening they can be handed over.
When traveling to Dolat, for example, on an excursion, it rained all day. We used raincoats. It is better to take your raincoats on a trip, so as not to buy things with sleeves here, since it is cool in the mountains.
In general, a solid three, far from 5 stars, as stated. After the construction of the hotel, there was no restoration in it, as they say, they squeeze out of the hotel to the last, without investments. To sum up, we will not come here a second time.

This is an incredible place)
Private beach in the lagoon, very beautiful hotel grounds, spa and rooms, staff, restaurant - everything is super. Of course it's not cheap. Nha Trang is a 15-minute drive away.
If I go to Vietnam again, only here. This place is worth the money.

The hotel is interesting for its rooms, a fairly large swimming pool, and, of course, a sandy beach, where the sea is always quiet, without surf and big waves. In addition, the hotel has a large green area with palm trees shading from the sun. There is a Russian-speaking staff at the reception. I liked the availability of a free shuttle service to Nha Trang several times a day.
