Saigon Yasaka Hotel****
Our brief comments:
Opened in late 1999, the Yasaka-Saigon-Nha Trang is a landmark hotel facing Nha Trang's 6km beach.
Although an 11-storey tower won't be to everyone's taste, the clever architecture allows all rooms a view of either the northern or southern sections of the beach, as well as the bay and the offshore islands. Suites have views in both directions.
Public areas on the ground and first floors are spacious, as are the rooms. Although the colour schemes are somewhat bland, the furniture and fittings are good quality and well maintained.
Adjacent to the hotel is an enclosed tropical garden area with an attractive bonsai collection, a tennis court, the Sole Fish House (an open-air seafood restaurant), a Garden Bar, also serving full meals, and the curiously named 'House of Nostagia'.
The latter is a replica traditional house (or possibly the real McCoy relocated to its present site) used for evening performances of traditional music, dancing and similar folklore activities. It's well done and good entertainment.
The other restaurants are the large 'Abalone' (also providing traditional entertainment for diners) and the à la carte Red Onion with four private dining rooms.
The roof top pool has a Jacuzzi and excellent panoramic views of Nha Trang Bay and islands.
The hotel has been popular with our clients - feedback ranges from good to excellent. It's good value!
