Resort town Ke Ga in Vietnam

In search of a place for a romantic getaway, pay attention to the small southern resort of Vietnam - Ke Ga. This is the correct name, but it is commonly referred to as Kega. This fishing village stretches along the sea coast a few kilometers from the resort of Phan Thiet. A gentle sea, lush greenery, a secluded beach. This is all you need for a quiet holiday away from noisy resorts.

Kega is located 180 km from Ho Chi Minh City and 40 km from Phan Thiet. You can get here by bus from Ho Chi Minh City. You will spend about 6 hours on the way. For entertainment from Keg to Phan Thiet or Mui You don't have to take a taxi, and this pleasure is not cheap. Therefore, you need to be prepared for complete solitude and the absence of any evening entertainment.

The town has a great tourist future, the village is gradually being built up with hotels. Today there are already resorts from 3 to 5 stars. The hotels are located at a great distance from each other, so you won't see a large crowd of people here.

What to see?

Outside the hotel areas, there are several cafes, restaurants and a couple of shops. The resort is perfect for those who like to relax surrounded by nature. Walking along the beach is a real pleasure. Cape Kega, after which the village and the resort are named, is a very picturesque and remarkable place.

At high tide, the water separates from it an islet called Hon Ba. It is tiny, measuring only 2.5 square meters. km. But on it is one of the attractions of South Vietnam - the Kega lighthouse. His project was created by a French architect, and was built by local residents in 1899 from granite, which was brought from France. The lighthouse is still in operation, its illumination range is 22 nautical miles.

At low tide, it can be reached on foot along a narrow sand spit. Tourists love to climb to the very top of the lighthouse (which is 64 m, together with the height of the rock on which it stands), where it is equipped observation deck... From above it is good to admire the dawn, painting the sea in magical pink tones. It is considered the oldest and most beautiful lighthouse in all of Southeast Asia.

On the map below you can see the location of Ke Ga lighthouse.

The island consists of many stone piles of bizarre shapes - water and wind have tried. The place is considered one of the best in the south for photo shoots.

You can buy excursions to the Red and White Dunes or go on a two-day tour to Ho Chi Minh City. All excursions that are offered at the more lively resorts - in Mui Ne and Phan Thiet are available from Keg.

Good afternoon everyone. I decided to write a review "hot on the trail" while I remember the details and fresh emotions. Where to begin? Probably from the location of the hotel - it is located in the Ke Ga area, this is a remote place not far from the Vietnamese attraction Ke Ga Lighthouse. I must say right away that they drove us from the airport to the hotel for 5.5 hours, after almost 3 hours of standing at passport control at Kam Ran airport, receiving luggage and sorting by the tour operator by buses (Pegasus). So those who are afraid of a flight (10 hours) should not be afraid of a voyage across the sky, but of the subsequent road to the hotel. Of the advantages - the place is a real chill-out and game - unlike Mui Ne, where the names are already in Russian. This is real Vietnam, baby. The hotel has a ushatan room fund, in places obscenely - "walking tiles" underfoot, dry furniture, dirty and torn bed headrests, cracks in the windows. Speaking of windows, on the very first day after check-in, I opened the window, but it was no longer destined to close it - it was jammed tightly. I reported this to the reception, they promised to figure it out, but never did. In the evening they just dropped that tomorrow (not today) they might offer another number, which was done. Okay, not fatal, we breathed the sea air. The air conditioner is good, but hangs right over the bed (I had a baby sleeping there), so don't expect to turn it on at night, you'll get cold). There is no TV in the hotel in Russian, channels in English with Vietnamese voice acting or subtitles. The TV itself is new, in theory you can even connect HDMI to it, but they won't give you a remote control to switch the signal source, but I think you’ll get out ... They are cleaned very well, the staff is friendly and loves children. The views from the rooms to the sea (at least in the one where we lived) are bombic, good balconies, but literally a meter-high piece of glass shares with neighbors, so if they smoke or like to speak out loud at night with the moon - get ready or not sleep, or something else. There is no entertainment from the word at all (in fact, there is some kind of karaoke over the restaurant), so here you can help yourself. But a good wifi, which, however, sometimes lagged a lot (when full occupancy). Once I called the reception and asked to do something with the Internet, they promised to fix it and asked for my number - someone would come to fix it. What to fix and where I have it in my room, I still do not understand. The Internet did not get any better :) The beach is microscopic between two heaps of stones and this is generally a huge story, a very big minus of all rest. The fact is that there is a fairly long sandbank, and the buoys retreat from the coastline by 5-10 meters, depending on the high tide or low tide. The security guard is hellishly strict and whistles every time you step over the cable (yes, you step over, not swim). The study of the issue showed that next to the hotel for recent years two, the bottom has changed and a whirlpool has formed, which pulls people under the water. There were cases of drowning (somewhere in Mui Ne, just during our vacation, 4 Vietnamese students drowned) and after that such strict rules were introduced - so decide for yourself whether you need a hotel with the sea or just wet your feet. I was with children and so it was great, my wife and I fed ourselves midges and other insects on the beach on sun loungers (there are only 10 of them under the roofs). For reference, there is an awesome beach nearby, it's a kilometer away and there is no one with a whistle, I swam there without any problems, I didn't get sucked in anywhere (maybe I was lucky, I don't know), but in general, everything is at your peril and risk. Shl. When we drove along the shore, an excavator rode and dug the beach - so there may be a chance for some improvement, since the low tide in the last two days made swimming impossible - the shallow was already 10 meters after the buoys, which hung lifelessly on poles. At high tide, the already not clean beach is filled with garbage, I did not see the people who clean it up - I did it myself until I lost this battle to the sea and ran shamefully into the pool to the Chinese. Another pain of the hotel is the restaurant. It is expensive, not very tasty. They asked for freshly squeezed juice without ice (for reference, ice is not made from bottled water and no one can guarantee its purity, he took this habit for himself from Cambodia). They brought half a glass with a grin (they say we weren’t made with a finger either), I didn’t go to the restaurant anymore - because I’m not. Walk nearby along the road - there is a restaurant with prices 2-3 times lower, the conditions are Spartan and a lot of flies, but no one bothers to take food to go or to the beach. To the edge you can drive to Phan Thiet to eat cheaper than at a hotel. The Tripadvisor is full of recommendations. We never got to the spa, captured by the restaurant's service. The pools in the hotel are very good, with salt water (chlorine is still poured), there are many different levels, but there are no slides - the children were delighted. The bar did not work because out of season, in general, half of the hotel at this time (August) was still in suspended animation, fountains did not work in some places, the bowls of small pools were not filled. In general, be prepared for the fact that this hotel is for locals and Chinese. There are few compatriots and therefore no one speaks Russian, only weak English. At the same time, they are very sincere and smile a lot. On weekends, the locals occupy all the rooms and shout their Vietnamese songs from the balconies and smoke until the morning, play cards on the balconies - I fought like a lion, but this is their culture ... you can't help it. Transport. There is a shuttle bus to Phan Thiet, but the time of its departure is solely for the convenience of the staff, who are dragged about their business somewhere in the city (the driver is bombing along the way, so people from bus 6 will accompany you, the description below). The last shuttle bus goes there at 16.20, and from there at 21.00. We rode local buses numbered 1 (decent red with air conditioning, but the chance of meeting him is negligible) and 6 (crazy bass, everything is open, including the doors, the roof is leaking, and the locals smoke right in the cabin and the conductor lights them up :) ))). A taxi from Phan Thiet to the hotel costs about 300 thousand dong, if you bargain - according to the counter 340-400 thousand. By the way, if you hope to call a taxi from the hotel to the fishing village, where the Lighthouse and the market (4 km), then relax - for the sake of this a taxi from the city will not go to you and the administrator will kindly offer you to use either a shuttle (departure at 6:00, return at 8:00), or crazy bass :) The attitude of the tour operator (Pegasus) to the hotel residents is slightly dismissive - the Russian people go there a little , so our guide, smiling at all 32, immediately announced that he had come to us for the first and last time. I had to book excursions from the wheels, we felt a little under the pressure of our guide's indifference. He did not give us any big information either, so on top, - Phan Thiet did not know very well. The excursions turned out to be quite good, although this is already offtopic and has nothing to do with the hotel. As for the work of the hotel administration, everything is at the level, there were no serious complaints, traditionally, in a southern, leisurely way, of course, but we did not come here to hurry). I do not publish the photo, as I am everywhere with my family.…

Few people know about Ke Ga (Vietnam). Most often, tourists come here on an excursion from Mui Ne to look at the old lighthouse built by the French at the end of the 19th century. But this place is unique even for such exotic countrylike Vietnam.

How to get there?

The village of Ke Ga on the map of Vietnam is located near Mui Ne (Phan Thiet). However, in reality this distance is not so small, about 30 km. to the south. In addition, public transport in Ke Ga is not developed, you will need to use a taxi service or rent a motorbike. This has both a disadvantage and an advantage of a resort town. On the one hand, from Mui Ne, where all the main entertainment is concentrated, it is quite a long and expensive journey to this secluded village, but, on the other hand, such a remote location makes Ke Ga a closed and intimate place where you can enjoy a quiet romantic vacation.

If you decide to make a trip to Ke Ga and get to know the famous old lighthouse, which, by the way, is still operational, then you can purchase this excursion in Mui Ne. Several Russian-speaking travel agencies are at your service. You can independently organize a trip to the island with a lighthouse, but in this case, be prepared to drive first fifty kilometers by taxi from Mui Ne, and then hire a boat or boat. If you're lucky, and during your visit there will be low tide, then you can reach the lighthouse in 15 minutes on foot. If you wish, you can climb the Kega lighthouse itself (Vietnam), breaking 184 steps up the spiral staircase. Your efforts will be more than rewarded with wonderful photos, which you will certainly take against the backdrop of this perhaps the most beautiful lighthouse in all of Southeast Asia.

If you have chosen Ke Ga as your destination, it is best to purchase air tickets to Ho Chi Minh City. For organized travelers, travel agencies will provide a transfer to the hotel by bus or car, while independent tourists will have several options to choose from:

• get to the city of Phan Thiet by train, at the railway station take a taxi and get to the hotel in Ke Ga,
• get to Phan Thiet by intercity bus, and then again by taxi to the hotel,
• order a taxi directly from the airport (it is expensive, but it will save time and effort).

Get ready for a long enough trip. Even a taxi will take about 6 hours.

Where to stay?

There are enough hotels in Ke Ga (Vietnam), despite the remoteness of the resort and its not too great popularity. The settlement is gradually being built up, and soon its infrastructure will become richer and more diverse. But do not be afraid that you will find yourself on the "great construction site". On the contrary, this place is quiet and secluded, with beautiful landscapes, wide beaches, where you can feel at one with nature.

Another feature of the village: hotels here are located at a significant distance from each other, which further contributes to the silence and tranquility. And you will not find discos with noisy restaurants in Ke Ga. This cozy village has no entertainment places, but there are pristine sandy beaches and a riot of natural colors.

The choice of hotels is wide enough: from inexpensive to fashionable. The best Ke Ga hotels in terms of price-quality ratio are:

Prices for accommodation in this resort area are lower than in Mui Ne, this is due to the remoteness of the village from the noise of civilization. And this is another argument to choose Ke Ga for a vacation in Vietnam.

When to go?

The weather in Ke Ga (Vietnam) contributes to the long beach season. The sea water temperature does not drop below + 23 ° C (in January), and in May it even heats up to + 28 ° C. The temperature drops are also not too significant: from + 29 ° C in January (at night to + 20 ° C) to + 35 ° C in summer.

When choosing a time for rest, you need to be guided by the rainy season, which begins in June and ends in October. It can get very rainy here at this time. It is better to choose the period from November to February for a vacation. Then a clear sky and a comfortable temperature will be guaranteed. There is no rain here in spring either, but it gets quite hot.

sights

In the vicinity of the village, you can find only two attractions:

• ke Ga lighthouse, which was described above.
• mount Taku.

Mount Taku is primarily famous for the statue of the Reclining Buddha. This original image of a deity, about 40 meters long, is visited by thousands of tourists every year. You can get to the Reclining Buddha from the foot of the mountain by cable car, and then walk up the stairs.


What to do in Ke Ga:

• walks (walking and cycling),
• fishing (and if you don't like fishing, be sure to buy it from local fishermen),
• swimming in the sea and sunbathing,
• spa treatments.

As you can see, rest in Ke Ga promotes pacification and unity with nature. But, if you want to see the sights or have some fun, you can always take a taxi to the bustling Phan Thiet.

Having discovered the Ke Ga resort you will get an unforgettable experience of the local natural flavor! And when you return home, you will surely remember the days spent in this Vietnamese outback as some of the happiest!

I am writing a review of the trip for the first time) so do not judge strictly. I decided to write because I learned a lot from previous reviews. First, I will say right away, this hotel suitable for those who want relaxation, those who need parties are clearly not here. (not to be confused with ke gu with mui ne) I draw attention to this, because I myself made this mistake, considering something mui ne is at hand, but in fact a couple of hours by bus, a taxi is expensive. I went with my mother (65 years old, I'm 22), both are delighted with the hotel, my mother is from the flower area, I am from the ocean with a swimming pool. I want to warn you right away that the hotel is perfect for families with very young children, whom you can occupy, and they will not need anything else. Older children will be bored, there is no animation in the hotel. Secondly, food: breakfasts at the hotel are excellent, there is a lot of choice, but the dishes do not change from day to day, there are soups, and eggs, and even pancakes, but otherwise a standard set, different meat, fruits, juices, you can make toasts yourself ... BUT it's worth COMING BEFORE, breakfast is from 7 to 9.30. We personally dined with fruit, but we had dinner at Misha's cafe, almost all Russians eat there, if you leave the hotel and go to the right, the second cafe looks worse than the first, but the taste and price are much better. The first one is held by the Russian Natalia, I advise NOT to go, she misses the ingredients, after which she is rude. Misha, along with the menu, will bring you roasted peanuts, and then with a receipt, fruit as a gift, a trifle, but very nice. Basically we took one side dish, one seafood dish and juices from VND 150-200,000. The water in the room is the one that is free on top (it is updated every day), in the refrigerator it is naturally paid, but we took it from there, then we bought and delivered the same one from the supermarket, no one had any complaints.
Thirdly, the beach, we were in December, the waves are very large, it is really possible to swim in the sea until 11-12 and then swim and jump on the waters, then a very big tide. At the expense of the ebb and flow, the sea really changes very much, where in the morning there are 20 meters of the beach, by the evening the waves reach the pool. Moreover, as far as I understood the beach at hotel 2, this one is near the pool, and the second one to the right of it, but the second one is somehow semi-wild, there is more garbage in the water, and you come across sand flies, which have peculiar bites, at first you don't feel, and then itches, and not all day, but itches for about an hour, then the whole day is quiet, but it passes for a very long time. We were advised to escape from them with respirators. Also, these midges are on the wild beach on the left (tested on myself). The pool has sea water, which is a big plus for the hotel. As an indicator, at night, in waves, it brings crabs into the pool, and they calmly survive, throwing out a couple in the morning)
Fourth, the rooms are huge, the views are beautiful, we had 403 rooms and were comfortable and clean. But take a fumigator with you, put it in the room at night, because if you sleep with the windows open, someone bites. And perhaps when you leave your room in the evening, leave the windows closed, one day we found a couple of huge cockroaches. Fifth excursions. We flew with aneks, they are expensive, they took from Alexei (a Vietnamese who studied in Moscow) he is located near the coop market (phanthet) I will describe how to get there later. Alex's contacts remain, you can knock on the PM in VK (Evgenia Astrikhinskaya), I'll send it. his money was changed, the rate was $ 100 2,150,000 dong. Alex's excursions are 2 times cheaper than those of anex, the Nyachansh-Dalat excursion cost $ 100 per person (this is a 2-day excursion), just $ 30 Dalat, we came across a Russian guide, so we liked it very much. We also went fishing independently, from our hotel it is really possible to walk (15 minutes) to the left of the hotel, there will be a hotel located on two parts of the road (double name, it starts at m, I don’t remember more precisely) so if you go to the left side of the road, then for 80,000 dongs you can go fishing, spinning rods, bait are given out, the Vietnamese completely helps you to put it on and cast it. Piranhas and perches are caught, and they are caught very well, each of us caught 9 fish pieces. After you have caught a fish, you can either release it, or buy (120,000 dong per kilogram) it will be prepared for you immediately for free, just do not forget to ask for a spicy note, this was our mistake) then you will be taken to a restaurant where you already your ready fish will be waiting) Transport: it took a really long time to get to the hotel (6 hours, and the hotel will most likely be the last), but it was quite comfortable by minibus, after the plane we slept in it, the rest of the time we admired the surroundings. Brought to a cafe to eat, prices are 2 times more expensive. Therefore, I advise you to take something from home with you, and then just go out to the sea. Dollars in this cafe can be changed normally. You can get from the hotel to Phan Thiet by shuttle bus, but it is paid VND 20,000, the schedule is at the reception. There is also a public bus with a local flavor of 13,000 dongs, it runs about once half an hour or an hour, go to the hotel security, and say that you are up to fanthet (explaining with gestures), then the guard gets up to catch the bus, and you sit in the shade on the bench. Color - on the bus, Vietnamese can smoke, stare at you, sit on the floor, and so on. Buy tickets and get off near the coop marketa, either ask the conductor to show it for the first time, or see where all the Russians get out. Next to him, without crossing the road, Alex has a travel agency. There is also a bus to Mui Ne 9ka. But remember that in the direction of the hotel the last 6ka goes at about 5-5.30 .. Like everything, if I remember anything, I will add.
