i had a very mixed experience while there. the first day i found the staff to be unbelievably rude to some guest for the duration of the stay, even i felt uncomfortable asking for anything!

The location is wonderful and the staff are friendly and really helpful. The accommodation is average though. The cabins are not too big and not too clean either. On the other hand visiting Monkey Island is a notable experience and we are glad we did it.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly even... More

We booked this hotel through Agoda but that was the first mistake. The hotel is very difficult to get to and we learned only afterwards that most people book through a tour that includes transportation. We were offered "private" transportation and it was a nightmare. It took us 6 hours to get to the resort form Hanoi in a trip... More
