The sea is visible only from the upper floors, because it is closed by hotels on the first line.

Nutrition Reviews
Tourists liked the rich selection of dishes in Golden Rain 3 * (Vietnam, Nha Trang). Everything is made from fresh quality products. There has not been a single recall mentioning food poisoning. Once a week they give seafood with delicious sauces. Coffee, though from a machine, is natural, cereal, not instant. Tourists with children claim that they had something to feed the kids. Everyone liked the breakfast soups. Enough time is allocated for meals so that both the “larks” and the “owls” manage to eat.

Golden Rain 3 * (Nha Trang, Vietnam): reviews
Those tourists who were not in the "Golden Rain-2", were satisfied with the rest. But you need not stint and book a room with a view of the sea and on the upper floors. Then you will not be disturbed by either the construction site or the music from the disco bar. Old furniture and careless cleaning are fully compensated by the cordial attitude of the staff towards you. In this hotel, 90% of vacationers are Russian.
Whether this is good or bad is up to you. But no one experienced a language barrier here. Especially a lot of meritorious reviews about nutrition. Breakfast here is sumptuous, hearty, with a large selection of hot dishes, fruits and vegetables. But the conditions for small guests are limited only to the children's menu and high chairs in the restaurant.
But a too shallow pool is suitable for swimming guys. But, tourists notice, it is better not to go here with children because of the constant noise. Construction, a disco bar and Russian tourists create a not too favorable sound background for relaxing kids. With children it is better to settle in the Golden Rain-2.
