Selectum Noa Resort Cam Ranh

During our trip to Nha Trang, we decided to spice up our vacation, especially for the kids, by staying at different hotels. Initially, we planned to get a Day Pass, but arrived without our documents. After being denied, we booked a one-night stay from May 31st to June 1st. When choosing the hotel, entertainment and dining were important factors since the hotel is far from the city. We opted for the all-inclusive package. We arrived early and were immediately sent to lunch, even though it was ending at 2 PM and check-in wasn't until 3 PM. I'll note right away that the food is delicious – I actually preferred it more than the QooQoo buffet. The location in Cam Ranh is, for me, debatable: far from the city and entertainment, about a 30-40 minute drive, but since we were only staying one night, it wasn't a crucial factor. So, the hotel is very green, and the logistics within it are convenient – buggies constantly shuttle between the pools, private beach, and restaurants. There were 4 restaurants – two in the main building and two on the grounds, plus bars. There are 2 pools – one large one near the main building and another closer to the villas by the beach. The beach is nice, with plenty of sun loungers and a gentle entry into the water. On the beach, there's a canopy with toys for children, but 95% of the toys are broken. For entertainment, we managed to catch a foam party at the main pool. We booked a room in a separate villa from the main building; each villa has about 12 garden-view rooms. The room is no-frills but spacious and has everything you need. Overall, the hotel is good. The decisive factor when choosing this hotel was the presence of a water park. You can't really call it a water park – there's one large area for small children and a separate area with 5 slides, only 3 of which were working, for adults. The hotel also has a bird garden, an open-air cinema, and many other things to enhance your stay.

The beach is great, the pool is great, and the all-inclusive package is good too, but the soundproofing in the room was terrible. Someone kept ringing the doorbell in the early morning, waking me up and making it a difficult stay. I don't know who it was, but it seemed like a prank.

This hotel is the 'Russian vacation' type! Overall, it's a good hotel with service that's up to par. There are two Russian-speaking administrators at the reception who can help you with any questions. And, in general, most of the guests at this hotel were Russian. The rooms are clean, and housekeeping is good. Towels are changed daily, regardless of whether you've thrown them on the floor or not. There are enough sun loungers on the beach, the food in the restaurants is tasty, and there's plenty of entertainment for kids, both free and for an extra charge. This hotel is suitable for those who enjoy lively vacations, having fun, and drinking and snacking at any time. It's not for those who prefer peace and quiet. We stayed in the Noah zone, which consists of 2-3 story buildings further back on the hotel grounds. They're a bit set apart, but we could still hear the sounds of a wild party near the main building in the evenings. And generally, there's loud music and some kind of activity constantly throughout the day and evening near the main building, whether it's aqua aerobics or other events. So, if you want quiet, I don't recommend staying in the main building. Also, some rooms there have a view of a neighboring unfinished construction site. We witnessed tourists being checked into those rooms and they were very unhappy. The other rooms face the main pool where the music is constantly blaring. We were lucky we chose rooms in these separate buildings. The Noah zone is quiet and peaceful during the day. The rooms are spacious. We had a garden view, which was wonderful. Birds would wake us up in the mornings! The second restaurant is conveniently located right next to these buildings, so you don't have to trek to the main building. All in all, the hotel is excellent. I'm giving it a five-star rating because the service and everything else are top-notch. But it's not for us, simply because we don't like all the constant activity, the perpetually loud music, and watching Russian tourists drinking on the sun loungers all day. But to each their own, I suppose.

The staff were friendly and my child had a great time in the pool! We also enjoyed the convenience of ordering delivery, allowing us to truly relax and unwind for the first time in a while.

We stayed at the hotel for two nights and absolutely loved everything. Make sure to get a Garden room in the two-story bungalows. It's incredibly quiet there, and you feel like you're right in the jungle. There are three restaurants with delicious food, and they keep you fed and hydrated all day long (though the alcohol, by the way, isn't great). The kids' club is huge. Lots of sports activities available. The beach and pools are excellent.

We booked a double room with a sea view, and while it was only a partial view, it was still pretty good. We stayed for 3 nights, and the time flew by because the hotel grounds are extensive, so there's always something to do. The mix of pools with different depths was great, and the animators led aqua aerobics and Zumba. We chose this hotel specifically for the on-site water park for our child. The water park was excellent, though I do wish the water was a bit warmer for kids, and also for the adult pools. It's not very pleasant to be in cold water when it's windy. Otherwise, no complaints: the food catered to all tastes, with a huge variety at the buffet, including an impressive amount of fresh vegetables and fruits, which was a lovely surprise. Room and grounds cleaning was top-notch. They didn't just vacuum, but also washed the floors daily. We also loved the kids' playrooms in the main building – lots of great fun there! Upon arrival, we used the free airport transfer; they waited for us (we spent over an hour in the passport control queue) and got us to the hotel in 15 minutes. We visited the bird garden, which was small but charming, especially the turkey! We even got to feed rabbits. Overall, this complex has everything you need for a family vacation with kids; I highly recommend it.

The hotel is located near Nha Trang Airport, which is a bit far from Nha Trang city center. They offer a shuttle service to the city, but you need to book it in advance. Since I didn't make a reservation, I had to take a taxi, which cost around 80. **Facilities:** The room facilities are a bit dated, but cleanliness was not an issue. The hotel has many recreational facilities. You can refer to my uploaded pictures for the prices of all-inclusive packages and extra buffets. We were a party of three, and my daughter, being 12, was considered an adult. If you don't book an all-inclusive room type, you'll have to pay for an extra bed, no exceptions. So, if you're a party of three and not on an all-inclusive plan, make sure to clarify this to avoid extra charges. I think a two-night stay is just right. The hotel has a water park, and the beach is beautiful, perfect for kids to play in the sand while you relax. Most of the guests are Koreans and Russians. I found the all-inclusive meals to be quite extensive. **Service:** The overall service was good, but the email confirmation speed wasn't very fast. Of course, understanding the rules beforehand can make booking easier and prevent any unpleasant experiences during your stay. You can check out my price list!
