This is Nha Trang, part I !!!

Posted in Asia, France

So looking at the blog old posts realise some are not seen the light as I hope for , not too many but this one falls into the category of forgotten posts. So I am reviving and redoing it completely.  This was Nha Trang, and what a surprise, the best stay in Vietnam after several trips in the last few years. Of course fun wise, no time for sightseeing just fun night time. Of course I have written before in other posts but more on the history of it. Therefore, here is my take on this is Nha Trang, part I !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I

Nha Trang is a seaside town, also the capital city of Khánh Hòa Province on the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It has a 6 kms long beach front that is superb, and a Bay of over 400 sq kms and 19 small islands. Nha Trang is known as the famous entertainment center of Vietnam; which I just found out lol!!

I arrive on Vietnam Airlines from HCMC (see posts) and landed at The airport is nice been a former military base ,and is about 30 kms from the city, call Cam Ranh International Airport , the entry in and out was simple and easy. An easy to read webpage on it is here: Nha Trang airport

And I went straight to check in at the hotel, Paris Nha Trang Hotel, tuck in an alley off the main beach boulevard Tran Phu. It is a very nice hotel with as you notice Paris motifs of the Seine river and Eiffel tower; rooms are nice spacious bath, good breakfast resto and the most is walking distance to the beach and Entertainment!!

And I immediately went out with some local friends that guide me thru it all gloriously. First business of the night was to check out the huge big Best Western Premier Havana hotel where on the top floor there is the Skylight Skydeck & Rooftop Beach Club , a super club highly recommended loaded with locals and tourists alike having great fun with the most beautiful views of the city below even at night. I stayed here until the wee hours and was all fun clean and safe.  Here is the hotel page with beautiful shots of the Bay and the club: https://havanahotel.vn/news/skylight

Of course ,the night continues into the Zima Club, this is a classic club and we had lots of fun here, they consider the largest dance floor in Nha Trang, I can vouch for it, loaded action. If you want fun ,then come here. While there it was loaded with Russian tourists wild drinking and partying.  The location is at Basement Level, Eland, Tran Phu Street.  Just learned this club is closed, here for the memories thus.

Anyway , I finished at the Sailing club a more relax ambiance right next to the beach and part of a diving club. You can dance and the beach is next to you with sandy long stretch very nice, the pace here picked up after 2am or 02h!!! The official page for it is here: Sailing Club Nha Trang

Of course, next day we had lunch at Biển Hồng New – Hải Sản Tươi Sống  typical Vietnamese resto with live crabs and fish to eat fresh; good food but you need to be brave like me ::)  Here is a foody review in Vietnamese but take from me the food is awesome raw and fresh and of course cook to order. Foody Vietnam

And of course, do not forget the beach , glorious into one of the world’s best bays. 6 kms long beach with best by 13h. This is to unwind after a loong night of entertainment of course, food for the soul and mind.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
