The Alana Nha Trang Beach Hotel is a lovely hotel. It is near the beach and has a very nice, if a bit limited sea view. The hotel very kindly gave me a room upgrade. The facilities are superb. The rooms are wonderful and the beds are comfortable (if you get to sleep in them), and the staff is very helpful. Each room has a scale for weighing your luggage, which helped me because I'm always teetering on the limit of being stuck somewhere forever. Breakfast is the usual superb buffet you'd expect from a five-star hotel. What's not to like? Don't come here if you're looking to sleep. Everything was fine until about 10pm when someone started doing construction on the wall of my room. Bash! Crash! Thump! Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh--duh-duh-duh-duh-Crash!!! BOOM! This went on four hours. The hotel must have anticipated it because there were two sets of earplugs on the table next to the bed. Trying to block this assault with earplugs was like trying to stop a fire hose with a cotton ball. BOOM! BANG! DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-BANG! I was on the 10th floor and I was still being pummeled like I was the object of a B-52 strike centred on my head. i eventually took all the bedding off the bed, went into the bathroom and made a place to sleep on the tile floor. Having an extra door and a glass wall between me and the constant pounding helped muffle it a bit, and I was eventully able to fall asleep from exhaustion after several hours of assult by pounding ”music.” This might be a great place to come if you want an accompaniment to a little illicit afternoon boom-boom-boom, but don't come here if you expect a relaxing evening and some sleep. You won't get it. It was a horrible experience, due entirely to the relentless, torturous assault that was inflicted on me. Would I recommend this hotel? Not a chance. Just for afternoon quickies. I'm giving it a rating of two, which is an average of 5 for illicit afternoon activities and 0 for normal uses like sleeping, relaxing, watching TV, reading, or writing. Actually, the rating is 2.5 but ratings of 0 and half-point ratings aren't allowed so I'm making it a 2 because the experience was so painful. Lovely hotel. Assault on the senses, and not in a good way. Save it for those secret liaisons where you have no expectation of sleep.
