Smile QUI NHON

The beach was the most crowded at sunrise and sunset with locals. The Vietnamese are not sun worshippers, so do their beachtime then. This picture was taken at about 5:30AM.

Cool QUI NHON

If you didn't want to get sandy and salty, the hotel had a comfortable pool that we never saw crowded. This is Kath enjoying a dip. Poolside dining was also an option. Besides a dining room, there was also an outside dining area. However, this was used to host wedding receptions both days that we stayed there. One evening it was 2 different parties with 2 different bands playing at once. Fortunately, these parties knock off by 7:30PM.

Talking QUI NHON

If tennis is your sport, that was available too. However, you had to wait until the hotel linen was done drying .

Thumbs up MUI NE

This was our favorite place. It was also the most expensive outside of Saigon: $49 . The rooms, in a villa style fourplex, were quite large and comfortable. They were also just yards off of the beach. This was our room. The lower unit.
