Radisson Resort Phan Thiet

The hotel itself, its territory, infrastructure, the villa where we lived - we liked everything very much. The interior design is stylish, quite minimalistic, attractive. It's not for nothing that bloggers and young people always came there to take beautiful photos. But outside the hotel it's just awful: destroyed or abandoned houses, piles of garbage everywhere. There are no shops, only small benches. The nearest city Phan Thiet is a 20-minute drive away along the road through wastelands and a cemetery. There are small cafes that look a little dubious surrounded by general poverty and desolation. Apparently, even before the pandemic, a large-scale construction of a tourist area with amusement parks, a water park, a safari park, restaurants and shops like Vinpearl began there, but all this died out and now stands like a ghost town. There are very few tourists, and in general there are very few people there. The Movenpick hotel is nearby, another Novotel was supposed to be built and a bunch of unfinished housing. In short, in 10 years, if everything is restored, it will be a cool area. But now I would not recommend going there. There is garbage everywhere, it is simply everywhere, the locals do not care about it at all, they live in it, eat in it ((((. When you enter the hotel grounds, it is as if you are in another universe - clean, well-groomed, beautiful. But the Vietnamese are not ready for this level of hotel, you can feel it. Their beach (a narrow line in front of the hotel) is poorly cleaned, there is a lot of small garbage in the sand. I am not even talking about the coastline, where a lot of garbage is washed up from the sea, it all lies there. When you walk along the coast, you are simply horrified by how much garbage there is and how they live in it. Cuisine: only the buffet breakfasts are tasty, quite varied, since there are not many people in the hotel, there is always enough space for everyone in the morning. But as for the main menu - complete crap. I don’t know why this is so, it seems like the service, and the presentation, and the products are fresh, but all this is extremely strange in combination and completely tasteless. We took accommodation with breakfasts and dinners, because we were afraid that we would not find a place to eat nearby. And we did it in vain, because then we sat and choked on this tasteless food. Dinners are a choice of sets by days of the week, or by cuisine (European, local, etc.). Also on the last day of our stay we decided to celebrate and ordered the most expensive BBQ set of meat and seafood, especially since the waiter praised it so much. Very expensive and very tasteless, we threw half of it away. In general, the kitchen spoiled the whole impression of this wonderful hotel. The result: terrible location and absolutely tasteless cuisine (except for breakfasts). We had a villa by the sea - and this made our stay in this hotel.
