Independent, Van Don hotels

"Yacht hotel was a very luxurious stay. Quite far from the beach, but a lovely walk to the coast and just a 15 minute drive to the island and international marina of Tuan Chan "

"My recent 2-day,1-night trip abroad Grand Pioneer Cruise with my husband and 2 other couples in Ha Long Bay was spectacular. From the moment we checked in at the waiting lounge, stepped on board to final farewell, every detail was executed with details. The only fly in the ointment was when disembark waiting for car pickup in the lounge, we were asked to move to the other side because the area we sat was reserved for check in customers where there was no sign to indicate that. This left us feelinga bit anticlimactic. Same situation happened when we had a brunch buffet after kayaking before checking out. We were told there was no more beef noodle soup but chicken. In the end, staff brought me chicken soup without noodle. Totally different from the first day we were on board. "

"I’m pretty sure this is the best hotel in all of Vietnam. The rooms are incredible. Beautifully designed, lots of space, with all the amenities. On top of that, the service was so amazing. The two girls that helped us were so kind and helpful. I don’t think you can find a better hotel! "

"Architecture and facilities are very detailed and good quality."

"Magnificent and lovely, best, friendliest service. We will be returning. Had view to bay and beach."

"Nothing to say. Just perfect."

"Stayed here for a week, had a lovely time playing golf and doing the day cruise around ha long bay which was organised by the hotel. Simon made us feel really welcome and comfortable during our stay. He couldn’t have done more for us and checked in with us throughout. My boyfriend was really unwell during our stay and as soon as Simon was aware he did everything to help which made it so much easier for us, we were grateful to be there when he was unwell. Thank you! "
