Now that Egypt and Turkey are practically excluded from organized tourism, many who want to relax on the warm sea choose Vietnam. One of the best hotels in this country is Sandunes Beach Resort 4, which has already been visited by many of our compatriots.
What do we know about Vietnam
The days when Vietnam was mentioned in connection with the long American war, napalm and exorbitant human sacrifices have long been a thing of the past.
The Indochina Peninsula, on which Vietnam is located, is washed by the South China Sea, and the closest neighbors are China, Laos and Cambodia. The form of government is a republic, and the Communist Party rules everything.
The Vietnamese are hardworking, welcoming and friendly. They treat everyone who speaks Russian with special warmth, recalling the Soviet Union with a kind word.
At all hotels - including Sandunes Beach Resort 4 - you can hear speech in Vietnamese, French, Chinese and Russian.
When is the best time to go to Vietnam
The high season lasts from April to November. Locals emit dry and wet seasons. The dry season is from December to April, at which time it rains very little. Wet - from May to November, during this period it often rains, usually at night. The rains are short, not more than an hour, but the time of their appearance is a secret of nature.
In February, there is a real “velvet” season: it is very warm, there is no sweltering heat, low humidity, and the sea is quite warm.
Sandunes Beach Resort 4 operates year-round, and even out of season there are plenty of services that give you good health and good mood.
Resort Phan Thiet
Almost all of Vietnam is stretched on the coast of the sea, so the preferred form of relaxation here is beach. Phan Thiet is located in the south of the country, and between it and the village of Mui Ne there is a part of the coast on which all the best hotels are concentrated. From here, the capital of Ho Chi Minh City is only 200 km away.
The beaches of the resort are a constant topic of discussion. Some do not like the fact that the sand is very fine, palm trees are far from the shore, and the water is unclear from the waves, while it does not annoy others. All that distinguishes the weather of different months from each other is the amount of rain. It is always warm here, on the coldest night + 25 o C.

Reviews of hotel Sandunes Beach Resort 4
The hotel is on the first line, built in 2013. The rooms in the building and the bungalow are similar, but the bungalow is closer to the sea and it is somehow more comfortable. There are non-smoking rooms, there are a total of 141. There are two restaurants, with local and European cuisine. The bar is accessible from the pool. There is a kids club, animation and a gym. You can call a doctor, but this service is paid.
For those who miss the bustle of the city, there are two buses to Mui Ne from the hotel, you can use the services of a round-the-clock taxi. The prices are ridiculous: $ 1 = 21,000 Vietnamese Wong. The staff is friendly, all requests are fast. They try not to notice some rude guests, at least they do not make comments.
The food is delicious, plenty of seafood, lots of fruits, sweets and vegetables. Impressions remain the cutest. Almost all guests come back here, their number is growing.
