This was our second trip to Nha Trang with the kids.
During our first visit to Nha Trang, Alma Resort was so popular that I couldn't get a reservation, but this time I had the opportunity to stay for four nights.
First, the service wasn't bad. The staff were quick to respond, and the services catering to Korean guests were quite well established.
However, personally, **the rooms and the overall resort environment were quite disappointing.**
### 1. Moldy smell in the room
As soon as I entered the room, there was a very strong moldy smell. At first, I thought it would be fine after a day, but as time went on, the smell actually got worse.
Ultimately, I decided it would be difficult to stay in the same room for four nights, so I requested a room change and moved to another room.
However, even in the swapped room, there was a similar smell, although to a lesser degree.
Thinking about why this problem occurs, it seems there are structural issues:
* It's difficult to freely open the door connecting to the balcony due to insect entry.
* When the balcony door is opened, the air conditioner and ventilation fan automatically turn off.
* Sensors in the room automatically turn off the air conditioner and ventilation fan when no one is present.
As a result, the entire room felt quite stuffy, probably because it's difficult for the room to be adequately ventilated.
### 2. Bathroom water quality
Personally, I also found the water quality issue to be quite serious.
Since I travel with children, I'm sensitive to water quality when showering, and **the water condition felt so poor that I felt sorry for washing my children without a filter.**
I've traveled to Vietnam many times. I've used various hotels and resorts in different regions like Phu Quoc, Hanoi, Da Nang, and Nha Trang, and in my personal experience, the water quality at Alma Resort was the most disappointing.
Of course, I understand that some allowance needs to be made due to the inherent water quality characteristics of Vietnam, but this time, it felt quite severe.
### 3. Resort size and guests
Alma Resort contacted me first and offered a drop-off service.
I thought they might have received similar VOCs (Voice of Customer), but in any case, I gratefully used the service itself.
However, looking at the overall experience, **personally, I didn't feel it was a resort I would revisit for this price.**
And through this trip, I definitely realized one thing:
**A resort isn't necessarily better just because it's large.**
Because of its large size, there were many guests, and correspondingly, I often saw situations that were unpleasant, such as people cutting in line or excessive drinking.
I actually felt that a moderately sized resort with not too many guests would be more comfortable and better for family trips.
Personally, among the Nha Trang resorts I've used so far, I would recommend:
**City center → Vinpearl Front**
**Cam Ranh → Radisson Blu**
Of course, please take this as just my personal experience and opinion. Thank you.
