Accommodation
La Beach House: Homestay right next to the sea, with a very beautiful view to watch the sunrise, priced at 550,000 VND/room. The fish market meets in the early morning is also right near the homestay, so it is very convenient to feel the local life. But for people who are afraid of odors, it can be a minus.
Po' House: This homestay is nothing special except for its very central location, just a few minutes walk to the sea, the square and a lot of restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets around. Room price 300,000 VND. The host is also very friendly and hospitable.
Osix Resort: This is the 3-star resort with the most trees in Quy Nhon that I know, with a beautiful small saltwater swimming pool, a bar located right next to the sea. The apartment I booked is a bungalow with a sea view, priced at 1,300,000 VND.

Eating
Eo Gio area, Nhon Ly: Hoang Thao Restaurant is the address introduced by homestays, fresh, delicious food, reasonable prices with a menu of all kinds from rice dishes to seafood - hot pot barbecue.
City Center: In addition to snack streets such as Phan Boi Chau, Ngo Van So, Huyen Tran Cong Chua, I choose Gia Vy pancake restaurant (14 Dien Hong) to enjoy Quy Nhon specialties and Que Huong restaurant (125 Tang Bat Ho) to eat family rice dishes, suitable for young children. For breakfast, I enjoy fish noodles at Ngoc Lien restaurant because it is very palatable, even though I eat the same dish, I don't feel bored.
Hon Kho area, Nhon Hai: Coco Camp is a must-visit place in Quy Nhon, whether it's just to enjoy lunch or drink a glass of soft drink. It also serves a multi-course menu at affordable prices.

Cost
The total cost for my family's trip is about 12,000,000 VND, including air tickets, 5 taxi trips, meals, homestay room to the resort, tickets to visit attractions, Ky Co tour costs 350,000 VND/person (including pick-up and drop-off), Hon Kho tour costs 180,000 VND (excluding meals and pick-up at Coco Camp).
Note:
Homestays usually do not have breakfast, so you have to make a reservation or eat out
For the stages traveling over 20 km, I choose a taxi to avoid the sun. With a short distance in the city, I rented a motorbike at the homestay for 120,000 VND/day to actively move.
Quy Nhon in March is quite empty, but it is already very sunny, so choose to move early in the morning or late afternoon.
La Beach House, Ky Co, Nhon Hai are great places, and you can skip Tuyet Tinh Coc because of the steep slopes, Phuong Mai sand dunes because of the sun, not suitable for traveling with children.
