Features of rest in Vietnam with children
Vietnam is one of the few countries in Southeast Asia where you can have a good rest with children for little money. Even in the most modest guesthouse there will be quite comfortable living conditions. There is no animation here as in Turkey, but family-type hotels have playgrounds and swimming pools. The beaches in Vietnam are mostly sandy, but the sea is often stormy, which often upsets mothers with babies.
While on holiday in Vietnam with a small child, you shouldn't worry about food - the national cuisine is not as spicy as in Thailand, and besides, there are a lot of fruits and vegetables here. Juices are sold on every corner, and the café offers mashed potatoes, meat and fish. Milk mixtures and baby purees are available in supermarkets, but it is better to take instant cereals with you. Oatmeal or buckwheat that we are used to is not to be found here.
Kids spend most of their time on the beach, with older children you can already see ancient temples and Buddha statues, the incredibly beautiful Halong Bay and other attractions. Ho Chi Minh City has a beautiful zoo and botanical garden, as well as an amusement park and one of the best water parks in the country. Nha Trang has a lot of entertainment for children.

The average annual air temperature in Vietnam is always above + 22 ° С, the sea is also warm. However, due to the fact that the territory of the country is stretched from north to south, the weather in different regions is significantly different.

Vietnam's best beaches and resorts for kids
According to reviews, Russians usually choose Nha Trang, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet and Phu Quoc Island for families with children in Vietnam. If a child does not tolerate shaking in public transport, then it is better to stay in Nha Trang or Da Nang - it takes no more than 30 minutes to drive from the airport to these resorts. Mui Ne and Phan Thiet will have to travel for several hours by bus. Let's consider each of the resorts.
Big beach Nha Trang stretches almost 10 km along the sea. The water is always warm, even in the off-season it does not drop below + 22 ° C, and in spring and summer it is just fresh milk. Russians with children love most of all to relax on the Dream Beach, where there are cafes and restaurants, swimming pools and Wi-Fi. There are many entertainments for children: park, aquarium, oceanarium, play areas. We rested in Nha Trang in winter for two whole months, and we liked it - read our review of the resort and tips.

Da Nang and Hoi an They are also conveniently located relative to the airport, there are good wide beaches, but in terms of the number of entertainment, these resorts are significantly inferior to Nha Trang. Another nuance - from October to the end of December, powerful waves rise at sea, more suitable for athletes than for kids. People come to these cities mainly for cultural and sightseeing holidays, and not for the sake of relaxing on the beach. The main contingent of tourists is foreigners.
Mui Ne and Phan Thiet Is a special tourist area that is extremely popular among Russians. It will take much longer to get from the airport, but there are good sandy beaches and hotels. Despite the fact that large waves often rise at the sea, these resorts are one of the most popular in Vietnam among vacationers with children. There are not many entertainments, and the main pastime of tourists is on the beach. A wide range of excursions to local attractions.
Island Phu Quoc preferred by fans of scuba diving, the water is always very clean and transparent. In addition, this is the only place in the country where the weather is good almost all year round. The island, according to tourists, is ideal for a relaxing holiday with children in Vietnam. We celebrated the New Year in Fukuoka - there really is a good climate and beaches.

Reviews and advice of tourists
In general, judging by the reviews for 2019-2020, tourists with children like to relax in Vietnam. It is better to stay with a small child in a big city, where there is all the tourist infrastructure, shops and pharmacies.
On vacation with children, it is very important to adhere to the rules of hygiene and not buy iced drinks on the street. It is better to drink bottled water, be sure to use sunscreen. Vietnam has very good fruits and seafood, but the main thing here is without fanaticism, especially when it comes to a child. Do not be afraid to seek help from local doctors: medicine in Vietnam is well developed, and the cost of medical services is quite affordable for tourists.
