Travel Guide: Motel Trường Phúc, Ninh Thuận

Nestled in the sun-drenched coastal province of Ninh Thuận in south-central Vietnam, the quiet beach town of Phan Rang (Phan Rang-Tháp Mười) is a hidden gem for travelers seeking to escape the crowded resorts of Nha Trang or Da Nang. For budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and simplicity over luxury, Motel Trường Phúc delivers an unbeatable base for exploring Ninh Thuận’s raw, unspoiled coastline and cultural landmarks.

Hotel Overview

Motel Trường Phúc is conveniently located at 15 Lê Thị Hồng Gấm, in the central Khánh Hai ward of Ninh Hải district, just steps from Phan Rang’s waterfront. This no-frills coastal motel prioritizes functionality and value, with all the core amenities travelers need for a comfortable stay. All rooms include free property-wide WiFi, complimentary private parking (no advance reservation required), air conditioning, a standing fan, a flat-screen TV with a video player for evening downtime, and tile flooring that stays cool even during Ninh Thuận’s hot dry season. Every private en-suite bathroom comes with a shower (or optional tub in select rooms), bidet spray, toilet paper, fresh towels, and complimentary slippers, and rooms are fitted with clean linens and clothing hooks for convenience. Pet-friendly travelers are welcome to bring their four-legged companions, though advance notice is required and a small extra fee may apply. The 24-hour front desk ensures flexible check-in for early arrivals or late-night road trippers, and staff speak fluent Vietnamese for seamless communication. As a seaside property, it also offers direct access to a quiet private stretch of beach, so you can step out of your room and onto the sand in minutes.

Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 30-minute drive of the motel:

• Po Klong Garai Cham Temple: Just 10 minutes from the motel, this 13th-century brick temple complex is one of the best-preserved remaining sites of the ancient Cham civilization. Perched on a low hill overlooking the valley, the intricate carvings and red brick architecture glow golden at sunrise, and the site hosts the annual Kate Cham harvest festival every August, a vibrant cultural celebration open to visitors.
• Ninh Chu Beach: A 15-minute drive from the motel, Ninh Chu is a postcard-perfect crescent of soft white sand lapped by clear turquoise water. Far less crowded than Vietnam’s more popular beach destinations, it offers calm swimming conditions and fresh seafood stalls serving grilled squid and steamed clams for just a few dollars.
• Vinh Hy Bay: 30 minutes south of Phan Rang, this sheltered bay is surrounded by granite cliffs and untouched tropical forest. Visitors can kayak through hidden coves, snorkel among colorful coral reefs, or hike to a nearby viewpoint for sweeping views of the South China Sea.

Travel Tips

Visit between December and April for the best dry, sunny weather, ideal for beach days and sightseeing. Book your room a few days in advance during peak holiday season (Tet, mid-summer) to guarantee availability. Since staff only speak Vietnamese, download a Vietnamese translation app before arrival to ease communication. Many of Ninh Thuận’s top attractions are best explored by motorbike, which you can rent for around $5 USD a day in central Phan Rang, just 10 minutes from the motel. If you’re driving yourself, the free on-site parking makes it easy to come and go as you explore the province’s rugged coastline. For budget travelers, you’ll struggle to find a better-located, more affordable option for a Ninh Thuận getaway than Motel Trường Phúc.
