We booked this Hotel to rest a couple days from 4 week road-trip traveling Vietnam. Looking for a luxury and peaceful place we realized there are not a lot options on Cat Ba Island. When we arrived, the hotel’s lobby immediately caught us with its colonial french design. High quality interiors from the lobby to the rooms to the roof-top. Amazing breakfast buffet with soup and egg station, warm and cold station, fruit and desert, crepe station - what ever you can think of, you‘ll get it. Same applies for lunch and dinner - fresh seefood, western cuisine and asian specialties. When you are a wine lover, the wine menu definitely beats everthing what we have seen during our 4 week road trip. Staff is always attentive, helpful and you always get a smile. The beach was cleaned daily from debris that occasionally found its way to the bay. All in all we found what we were looking for - a luxury hide-away. We stayed during off-season, so things will get busier during high-season but I am sure they will handle this as well. Cheers to the management and staff. We will keep the sundowners at the pool bar right on the shore in mind.
