After a relaxing one-day stay in a boat in Ha Long Bay, we headed straight to Cat Ba Island for 3 days. We were booked 3 days at Cat Ba Island Resort and Spa. The resort is one massive concrete building with large appointed rooms. It lacked charm although it had a premium bay frontage. The moment we checked-in hell... More

This was such an average experience. I do believe it is the best place to stay on Catba and that is really saying something. The room was large but average, the bed like sleeping on wooden boards, the hot water did not work properly, the TV did not work. There were a total of about 5 people staying in the... More

We stayed at cat ba island resort for 7 days in 2010 and we were so glad to leave. The staff were very rude and everyone expected tips. If you dont tips because you have no change, their attitude towards you would change instantly. We wanted to stay for 7 days so we could relax and sunbathe - I must... More

This is NOT a 4 star hotel, it is very out of the way, they charge you 10 dollars to drive you down to the port [ a 3minutes walk ], the breakfast is disgusting, the service was horrible, they would laugh and make fun at us, there was left over stuff from a previous client, the internet did not...

My friend and I stayed at the Catba Island Resort because it was part of the Handspan Halong Bay Kayaking tour. The hotel was fantastic. It's set right on the beach. Just about every room, I imagine, has a wonderful view. Ours did. The rooms and bathroom were spacious. Everything was immaculate and modern. They also had a room service... More

Within less than four hours (door to door) from Hanoi, Cat Ba is a nice beach destination for a short 3-4 days trip away from Hanoi. The pools and gardens are quite nice. The room is a little small. But overall it's an ok experience. The town is just a few minutes walk away and has plenty of good food... More

Since there are not many choices of resort in Catba Island, I was hoping that the resort has their own private beach but they do not, there is a small beach right next to resort but share the entrance with locals, people on the beach also tried to charge us 80,000d/hour/beach/ chair, obviously these people are not under management of...

Booked online but found out that their rack rates were 50% lower. Very poor value for money, and very poor service. I guess just about ok if with small kids and just want to hang by the pool otherwise I'd stay in the main part of the town. Won't be going there again, worst experience of travelling through Vietnam.

We stayed at this resort for one night as part of a package deal with our trip from Ha Long Bay. We were both initially just very pleased to be staying on dry land instead of the boat we had slept on the night before! The venue is a nice resort in an excellent location. The resort is the closest... More
