The private island is naturally beautiful. The breakfast is very good. Pricing is very affordable.

Except for the island manager and the small guy serving the food bar. The rest is just average. I stay for 5 nights and already messaged before that it will be my birthday and if they can arrange something special but they only get back to me after I already checked out for 2 weeks??? You must find the harbor to the island yourself since the I can not contact them by phone number or booking app at all. Even though they have a lot of staff.

This island could have easily a dream if the staff had been more experienced and attentive

7.0

We liked the concept of being on an island, but once we arrived the dreamy island was quite basic and left to itself with not much effort to keep it clean and welcoming. Alex was kind and friendly, we enjoyed his enthusiasm in proposing activities such as going on hikes and canoeing

The staff was pretty much lazy and smoking in front and behind the counter, they didn’t know how to communicate in English, the breakfast is basically an omelette with fruit left surrounded by flies and for the other meals the choice is very limited as they run out of ingredients and don’t go shopping for days so it can get boring after a couple of days. The bed was very hard as it had wood tiles instead of bed springs underneath and the bathroom can stink quite a bit as the drainage system is of course what you find on an island. The beach was mostly dirty and the sun beds are not in good condition as they are left under all weather conditions and there are no umbrellas to find some shade to keep you from getting burned under the super hot sun. Initially it seemed pretty convenient but if you sum up the food and drinks you buy from them it can get more expensive than average prices in Vietnam.

Nicht zu empfehlen!

Der Bootsfahrer Tommy war super nett! Von der Insel hat man eine tolle Aussicht.

Leider war die Unterkunft heruntergekommen und dreckig: - verknüllter Strand und dreckiges Meer - Kakerlaken und Ameisen (sowohl tot als auch lebendig) im Bad und Zimmer - Schimmel an der Decke - unmotiviertes Personal - dreckiger Pool - Möbel und Wege kaputt und dreckig/unaufgeräumt

Le calme. L’isolement. Évitez de booker vos trajets avec eux pour rentrer sur Hanoi.

C’est sale ! Un truc de fou (mais de mon expérience à Ha Long c’est malheureusement la norme). Personnel incompétent malheureusement. Parfait si vous avez 20 ans.

- It s a private island - The atmosphere was super nice - There was enough things to do like kayaking, pool, billard, ping pong table, baby foot - Beer prices were reasonable - Over all it was amazing! I would do it again. we are incredibly grateful to Mr Dat, who took care of us throughout the entire stay. His friendliness
