We had a group of partying guys while our stay there, shouting drunken until 4 in the morning. The staff was unable to stop this though many others were annoyed as well and we did complain. Poor food: Three days exactly the same lunch and breakfast, of below street food quality. A pity to have such poor accomodation and food at this great place.

The location is great. Do NOT stay in Cat Ba Town, it is ugly. The beach is very tidal but probably the best beach in the region. You can walk out to the island at low tide. Nice to be able to swim. The rooms are cute over the beach. They did at least play good music and did not blast out dance music like the place across the bay.

Chrisy, New Zealand

Great location and scenery. Kayaking was for free so we could explore nearby islands and it is so much better experience than taking the big ferry with tourists.

Alicja, Poland

We loved the spectacular view and comfortable room. Bathroom was pretty basic but the view made up for it. The food is okay (usual for island resorts) but breakfast was subpar. We didn't book any tours from here as the prices were excessive. It was great for a night or two but I wouldn't recommend staying any longer.

Rosina, Australia

Everything ! Staff beach location. Would definately go back.

Madelaine, Australia

Beautiful view from the hotel. Opportunities to take kayaks out to swim along the bay.

Maria, Poland

I enjoyed and appreciated the remoteness of the resort.

Andre, United States of America

Staff friendly and helpful and the food was good. Beautiful setting.

Graham, South Africa

Rooms are basic. Wet bathrooms. Shower head not even on the wall. But rustic. Not good value for money

Edmond, United States of America

The Location is what you go for, it's beauitful and the resort offers unlimited kayaking. Very relaxing. Staff helpful and kind.

눉The tours were expensive and the water was dirty. Always if you hadn't prebook dinner in package then it was expensive. And you only had one place to eat at.

“Lovely location, terrible food, marginal rooms.”

- • Deluxe Twin Bungalow
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The food is appalling. This was the worst food in Vietnam. The staff were minimally helpful and never come out to offer food or drinks when you are on the deck chairs. They have no beer coolers so drinks get pretty warm. The aircon only works at night so if you want a day sleep or are a bit unwell you have only the fans to cool. The walls to the rooms are very thin and you can hear everything from your neighbours and when they walk on the floor boards the floor in your room moves. Going out to the islands is a great idea but I would look around and find somewhere else or take a longer Junk tour and go up to Bai Tu Long Bay.
눇The location is great. Do NOT stay in Cat Ba Town, it is ugly. The beach is very tidal but probably the best beach in the region. You can walk out to the island at low tide. Nice to be able to swim.

눉Unfortunately, everything what I've read about served food was true. Nothing was tasty and it seems like no one care about it. Even a soup looked liked boiled water with pasta. This place could benefit so much from better care of meals served for customers.

눉You'd think that with everything being so expensive and with no other places to buy food and water that they could afford to renovate the place or at least repair the aircon. I hope the staff gets payed well.

눉The food was the worst I've had over a 7-week stay in Vietnam. It was also hands down the worst hotel/restaurant food I've ever tasted in my life, not too mention it was 2x-3x more expensive than standard Vietnamese prices. The staff were not friendly and did not make any effort to make our stay more enjoyable. The 'ferry' to the island was an extortionate price for what essentially was a tiny fishing boat that looked like it was about to fall apart. None of the staff offered to help us with heavy luggage that we had to carry ourselves to and from the boat across the whole island. Overall I would not recommend this place.
눇Beautiful view from the hotel. Opportunities to take kayaks out to swim along the bay.

눉It was the opposite to a relaxing experience. Don't expect more quality than a youth hostel. After you arrive they don't clean the room again even if you stay a few days, the electricity didn't work sometimes, lack of water pressure... The rooms at the end of the complex are super noisy with the back of house underneath.
눇The setting and the views were stunning. The staff was friendly and they also arranged a private boat trip that was very good.

눉Here we go... spotty wifi; same food for breakfast and dinner every night; too many power outages; no free shuttle to and from Cat Ba Island; and the rooms were "clean". I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone stay here unless you have to and there aren't any other spots available on the main island.
눇I enjoyed and appreciated the remoteness of the resort.
