Meliá Aurea Nha Trang, a five-star resort under the Spanish Meliá group, is located in northern Nha Trang. The entire resort is divided into two sections: Meliá Coral, featuring villas, and Meliá Aurea, the high-rise main building. While Coral focuses on villa-style accommodations, Aurea offers high-rise tower rooms. The high-floor sea view rooms in Aurea even offer a superior view experience compared to the villas, providing stunning panoramic views of the bay.
The hotel's facilities are very new and well-maintained. The 8th floor hosts the dining area, and the 9th floor features an infinity pool with breathtaking ocean views, perfect for taking photos. The overall dining quality is impressive; breakfast offers a rich variety, including local Vietnamese specialties and a full range of Western dishes, all tasting great. Lunch and dinner primarily consist of Western cuisine, with consistent quality. During my stay, I encountered a minor issue, but the staff responded quickly after I reported it and promptly helped resolve it. Their service is commendable.
This resort is ideal for a relaxing, 'lie-flat' vacation, but its location is its main drawback. It's about 50 kilometers from Cam Ranh Airport, costing around 120 RMB by taxi. It's also approximately 10 kilometers from Nha Trang city center, requiring about 40 RMB for each taxi ride into the city, making round trips time-consuming and costly. The island-hopping boat pier is about 25 kilometers away, and most island-hopping tours do not include transfers from this hotel, so you'll need to arrange your own taxi there. The surrounding area also lacks developed amenities, with only one convenience store. If you want to try local snacks or buy fruit, you'll need to go into the city.
Overall, if your main goal is to relax at the hotel, the experience here is excellent. However, if your itinerary includes frequent visits to city attractions or island hopping, you'll need to accept the travel costs associated with its distant location.
Overall, it was a perfect stay and highly recommended!
