I have done an inspection to this resort. In general, the resort is ok. These are my comments: - The pictures of the beach in front of the resort in the brochures are fake. - The water is not clean during the summer time and is only clear after October - There is a lack of good maintenance, bushes are...

We stayed as independent guests at this resort, catching the resort's boat from Cat Ba Town. This place was not worth US$35 each. The rooms/bungalows were clean and quite cute with nice views of the ocean, however staff were staying in the room right next to us. Just made it seem like a big rip off, especially when the 3...

The staff is nice, but the location is inconvenient, rooms are leaky and buggy, property was under construction and rundown.

We stayed here for a night during our Halong Bay cruise with Ocean Tours. Had an amazing stay. It is back-to-basics stuff, living in lil beach huts with minimal luxury.. but thats what made it so beautiful. Waking up to the tide coming in - it was so peaceful. We kayaked around to 'sunset beach' and if your able, I... More

we booked a 2 days tour with Ocean Tours in Hanoi in the Halong bay including a night on their private island rather than on the boat. I think it was the right choice since we had a nice room in a small bungalow with seafood bbcue and nice music. The resort has no power so they use generator from... More

I'm still trying to figure out the target market for this beach resort. The privacy and seclusion of the resort on it's own island makes me think that the target is for couples. However, the non-privacy in the shared bungalows makes this non-ideal for any couples. There are some very nice things about the resort. The resort is across from... More

During a three day trip, which we booked at Ocean Tours (the owner of this resort) in Hanoi, we spend two nights in this little ‘Bounty resort’, having a great time. Though the rooms look simple from the outside we were surprised by their nice-looking furniture, the electric blanket, the nice bathroom and the rocking chair. There’s hot water in... More

We stayed here at the Ocean Beach Resort for three nights as part of our honeymoon to Vietnam. It is truely beautiful and a real delight after the hustle and bustle of Hanoi and the cities. The resort is literally just a few huts on the beach with a lovely communal area with bar, pool table, restuarant and relaxing chairs.... More

The resort is on Cat Ong island, across the water from Cat Ba downtown, just a short boat hop away. There is nothing on the beach apart from the 7 bungalows (each having 2/3 rooms) and the commons. Besides sunbathing and eating, the thing to do is to go on the water: canoeing, going to see the sunset on the... More
