Tours to the Rock Water Bay Beach Resort & Spa. Kega resort town in vietnam Kega bay vietnam on the map

Denis, good afternoon! I have not checked this information for a long time, it seems to me that in the region of 20 dollars or 400 dongs you can agree, even, probably, 15 dollars and 300 dongs, respectively. Here, what kind of car will be and what kind of driver. I advise you to use bus number 6 (if I remember the number correctly), which goes along Ke Ga to Phan Thiet. And in Phan Thiet itself, in the KoopMarta area, there is a bus stop number 1 to Mui Ne. It is very simple, lightweight, budget way displacement. But already back, after dinner, and with a bunch of purchases, I advise you to cooperate with someone in advance and take a taxi to the hotel.

Irina, good afternoon! In fact, this is the beginning of the rainy season in the south of Vietnam. For those who do not know what Ke Ga is, this is a strip of resorts outside the city of Phan Thiet, towards Ho Chi Minh City, while the most famous resort close to Phan Thiet is Mui Ne. They are just on opposite sides of Phan Thiet, so this whole tourist destination is called Phan Thiet. Confused people. In Phantetet itself there is nothing interesting for rest, there are two hotels. All hotels are mainly in Mui Ne. A much smaller part is in Ke Ga. And if Mui Ne is a tourist village with a very well-developed infrastructure and a large selection of cafes-restaurants-spa salons, then Ke Ga seems to be on the outskirts, only the sea and emptiness are nearby. But not far from hotels locals opened small shops, cafes. So not really dumb.
But for shopping you have to go at least to Phan Thiet, which is about 25 km. By bus. There are Koopmart and Lotte Mart supermarkets. And behind the choice of cafes and massage, in Mui Ne, this is plus 15 km to those 25.

Irina, good afternoon! Wow, you have plans! But I think they are correct! The easiest way to book a ticket is at your hotel, but there is one rather big problem - as a rule, all slipper buses go through Phan Thiet (from Saigon through Phan Thiet and Mui Ne to Nha Trang). In Mui Ne they pick you up directly from the hotels, stop wherever you say, since this is one street along the sea, and in Phan Thiet they can also pick you up in certain places (you will need the help of the Vietnamese to negotiate and buy tickets). Nobody drives through Kega. So everything is possible, I see only two problems now - to clearly designate the place where you will be picked up, and to get to this place in advance, and the second - now TET is on the nose, this is Vietnamese New Year, this year 19 February, and the problem with tickets. Either everything is sold, or prices instead of 120 dongs reach 750. But this can be solved. Good luck in Nha Trang. Email me if you need more advice or help. https://vk.com/dmitryvietnam

Dmitriy! Good day!
Need advice, help, comment))))
We are going with children at the beginning of February to
Golden Coast Resort & Spa 4 * (on the sites they persistently write that this is Phan Thiet, from your words, and I think this is more correct, this is Mui Ne). We arrive in Nha Trang. And then we begin to tremble imagining the road to the hotel! How can you order a taxi (found a couple of sites, how accurate and safe is it? Or can you take a taxi directly at the airport? And how will it be cheaper? 3 + 3 of us! And will it be faster than a bus? Or maybe you have a reliable taxi driver you know? !))) What is there near our hotel in terms of feeding the children and yourself, taking a walk, shops, a pharmacy, buying fruit, etc.? How is it more convenient for us to visit Winperl? What kind of transport? And maybe you would advise a hotel in Nha Trang to take a break, and on the trail. day to return to your hotel? Which of the excursions can we take that is not particularly tiresome for children? You write about northern islands(if not mistaken in the name), will they suit us? Really looking forward to your reply! Thanks in advance for your patience and responsiveness)

Editor-in-Chief's answer,

Resort town Ke Ga in Vietnam

When looking for a place for a romantic getaway, pay attention to the small southern resort Vietnam - Ke Ga. This is the correct name, but it is commonly referred to as Kega. This fishing village stretches along sea ​​coast a few kilometers from the resort of Phan Thiet. A gentle sea, lush greenery, a secluded beach. This is all you need for a quiet holiday away from noisy resorts.

Kega is located 180 km from Ho Chi Minh City and 40 km from Phan Thiet. You can get here by bus from Ho Chi Minh City. You will spend about 6 hours on the way. For entertainment from Keg to Phan Thiet or Mui You don't have to take a taxi, and this pleasure is not cheap. Therefore, you need to be prepared for complete solitude and the absence of any evening entertainment.

The town has a great tourist future, the village is gradually being built up with hotels. Today there are already resorts from 3 to 5 stars. The hotels are located at a great distance from each other, so you will not see a large crowd of people here.

What to see?

Outside the hotel areas, there are several cafes, restaurants and a couple of shops. The resort is perfect for those who like to relax surrounded by nature. Walking along the beach will be a real pleasure. Cape Kega, after which the village and resort are named, is a very picturesque and remarkable place.

At high tide, the water separates from it an islet called Hon Ba. It is tiny, measuring only 2.5 square meters. km. But on it is one of the attractions of South Vietnam - the Kega lighthouse. Its project was created by a French architect, and was built by local residents in 1899 from granite, which was brought from France. The lighthouse is still in operation, its illumination range is 22 nautical miles.

At low tide, it can be reached on foot along a narrow sand spit. Tourists love to climb to the very top of the lighthouse (which is 64 m, together with the height of the rock on which it stands), where it is equipped observation deck... From above it is good to admire the dawn, painting the sea in magical pink tones. It is considered the oldest and most beautiful lighthouse in all of Southeast Asia.

On the map below you can see the location of the Ke Ga lighthouse.

The island consists of many stone piles of bizarre shapes - water and wind have tried. The place is considered one of the best in the south for photo shoots.

You can buy excursions to the Red and White Dunes or go on a two-day tour to Ho Chi Minh City. All excursions that are offered at the more lively resorts - in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet - are available from Keg.

Good afternoon everyone. I decided to write a review "hot on the trail" while I remember the details and fresh emotions. Where to begin? Probably from the location of the hotel - it is located in the Ke Ga area, this is a remote place not far from the Vietnamese attraction of the Ke Ga Lighthouse. I must say right away that they drove us from the airport to the hotel for 5.5 hours, after almost 3 hours of standing on passport control at Cam Ranh airport, baggage claim and sorting by the tour operator by bus (Pegasus). So those who are afraid of a flight (10 hours) should be afraid not of a voyage across the sky, but of the subsequent road to the hotel. From the pros - the place is a real chill-out and game - unlike Mui Ne, where the names are already all in Russian. This is real Vietnam, baby. The hotel has a ushatan room fund, in some places obscenely - "walking tiles" underfoot,dry furniture, dirty and torn bed headrests, cracks in the windows. Speaking of windows, on the very first day after check-in, I opened the window, but it was no longer destined to close it - it was jammed tightly. I reported this to the reception, they promised to figure it out, but never did. In the evening they just dropped that tomorrow (not today) they could offer another number, which was done. Okay, not fatal, we breathed the sea air. The air conditioner is good, but it hangs right above the bed (I had a baby sleeping there), so don't expect to turn it on at night, you'll get cold). There is no TV in the hotel in Russian, channels in English with Vietnamese voice acting or subtitles. The TV itself is new, in theory you can even connect HDMI to it, but they won't give you a remote control to switch the signal source, but I think you’ll get out ... They are cleaned very well, the staff is friendly and loves children. The views from the rooms to the sea (at least in the one where we lived) are bombastic, good balconies, but literally a meter-high piece of glass shares with neighbors, so if they smoke or like to speak out loud at night with the moon, get ready or not sleep, or something else. There is no entertainment from the word at all (in fact, there is some kind of karaoke over the restaurant), so here you can help yourself. But a good wifi, which, however, sometimes lags a lot (when full occupancy). Once I called the reception and asked to do something with the Internet, they promised to fix it and asked for my number - someone would come to fix it. What to fix and where I have it in my room, I still do not understand. The Internet did not get any better :) The beach is microscopic between two heaps of stones and this is generally a huge story, a very big minus of the whole rest. The fact is that there is a fairly long sandbank, and the buoys retreat from coastline meters by 5-10, depending on the ebb or flow. The guard is hellishly strict and whistles every time you step over the cable (yes, you step over, not swim). The study of the issue showed that next to the hotel for recent years two, the bottom has changed and a whirlpool has formed, which pulls people under the water. There were cases of drowning (somewhere in Mui Ne, just during our vacation, 4 Vietnamese students drowned) and after that such strict rules were introduced - so decide for yourself whether you need a hotel with the sea or just get your feet wet. I was with children and so it was great, my wife and I fed ourselves midges and other insects on the beach on sun loungers (there are only 10 of them under the roofs). For reference, there is an awesome beach nearby, it's a kilometer away and there is no one with a whistle, I swam there without problems, I didn't get sucked in anywhere (maybe I was lucky, I don't know), but in general, everything is at your peril and risk. Shl. When we drove along the shore, an excavator rode and dug the beach - so there may be a chance for some improvement, since the low tide in the last two days made swimming impossible - the shallow was already 10 meters after the buoys, which hung lifelessly on poles. At high tide, there is no clean beach floods with garbage, I did not see the people who clean it - I did it myself until I lost this battle to the sea and ran shamefully into the pool to the Chinese. Another pain of the hotel is the restaurant. It's expensive, not very tasty. They asked for freshly squeezed juice without ice (for reference, ice is not made from bottled water and no one can guarantee its purity, he took this habit for himself from Cambodia). They brought half a glass with a smirk (they say we weren’t made with a finger either), I didn’t go to the restaurant anymore - because it’s not good. Walk along the road - there is a restaurant with prices 2-3 times lower, the conditions are Spartan and a lot of flies, but no one bothers to take food to go or to the beach. Tripadvisor is full of recommendations. We never got to the spa, captured by the restaurant's service. The pools in the hotel are very good, with salt water (chlorine is still poured), there are many different levels, but there are no slides - the children were delighted. The bar did not work because it was out of season, in general, half of the hotel at this time (August) was still in suspended animation, in some places fountains did not work, the bowls of small pools were not filled. In general, be prepared for the fact that this hotel is for locals and Chinese. There are few compatriots and therefore no one speaks Russian, only weak English. At the same time, they are very sincere and smile a lot. On weekends, the locals occupy all the rooms and shout their Vietnamese songs from the balconies and smoke until morning, play cards on the balconies - I fought like a lion, but this is their culture ... you can't help it. Transport. There is a shuttle bus to Phan Thiet, but the time of its departure is solely for the convenience of the staff, who are dragged about their business somewhere in the city (the driver is bombing along the way, so people from bus 6 will keep you company, description below). The last shuttle bus goes there at 16.20, and from there at 21.00. We rode local buses numbered 1 (decent red with air conditioning, but the chance of meeting him is negligible) and 6 (crazy bass, everything is open, including the doors, the roof is leaking, and the locals smoke right in the cabin and the conductor lights them up :) ))). A taxi from Phan Thiet to the hotel costs about 300 thousand dong, if you bargain - according to the meter 340-400 thousand. By the way, if you hope to call a taxi from the hotel to the fishing village, where the Lighthouse and the market (4 km), then relax - for the a taxi from the city will not go to you and the administrator will kindly offer you to use either a shuttle (departure at 6:00, return at 8:00), or a crazy bass :) The attitude of the tour operator (Pegasus) to the hotel residents is slightly disdainful - the Russian people go there a little , so our guide, smiling all 32 at once, said that he had come to us for the first and last time. I had to book excursions from the wheels, we felt a little under the pressure of our guide's indifference. He did not give us any big information either, so on top, - Phan Thiet did not know very well. The excursions turned out to be quite good, although this is already offtopic and has nothing to do with the hotel. As for the work of the hotel administration, everything is at the level, there were no serious complaints, traditionally in a southern, leisurely way, of course, but we did not come here to rush). I do not publish the photo, as I am everywhere with my family.…

A resort for a calm family vacation... There is little entertainment for young people. With young children, the road is too tiring.

The flight Moscow-Ho Chi Minh takes about 10 hours. The transfer will take approximately 4-5 hours.

Tours to Phan Thiet are slightly cheaper than to Nha Trang.

The beaches in Phan Thiet are covered with fine sand.

Worth committing sightseeing tour in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the city of Dalat, see the lotus lake, ride "ice floes" from the multi-colored dunes, visit coffee plantations. Be sure to take a photo of the Reclining Buddha (the largest Buddha figure in Vietnam).

There are floating markets where you can buy fruits and vegetables, inexpensive high-quality clothing, world-famous Chon coffee. There is a large supermarket COOP Mart.

Mostly tourists choose hotels with 3 and 4 stars. Service in them is higher than similar European ones. The hotels are right on the shore.

In hotels, usually only breakfast is offered, there is also half board, there is practically no all-inclusive system.

Russian speaking staff are found, but very rare. Used for communication English language... There is no animation in hotels.

On the beach, umbrellas and sun loungers are free in almost all hotels.

The dry season lasts from November to April, but there are often high waves. The best time for surfing - from August to December. May to October " wet season", In which the waves are much smaller.
