This place is incredible! The beach in lovely and the pool has such an amazing view of the islands. The rooms are rustic but clean. I really couldn't ask for anything more. James and his staff are awesome! James arranged a boat and kayake tour for us and took care of everything so we could just relax and enjoy exploring the island. The hiking trail at the back of the resort is no joke but well worth the effort.

5.0 "Lovely stay and watch for the monkeys! :)"
Great stay - amazing views and good beach. Rooms were basic but clean (limited air con hours but this was absolutely fine). Staff were a laugh and very friendly and James the manager was able to offer tours, spas, boat transfers etc. For us too. Monkeys were entertaining and would definitely stay here again as a less touristy alternative to Cat Ba. Only slight let down was the food, which was a bit westernised, rather than local, but still OK! Thanks for a great stay guys!
The conditions are very Spartan and "close to nature". For instance, AC is only on during the night and between the hours of 12 and 16:00. The resort is isolated and popular with locals, especially families with kids.

2.0 "Patience..."
40 minutter etter avtalt ble vi hentet av en ikke så hyggelig kar på bryggen i en hallsjabi båt. Ingen ansatte på hele hotellet smilte. Gratis vann medfølgt ikke som er vanlig på alle andre hoteller og apekattene de skrøt så mye av var ikke å se noen plass.
Veldig fint sted men sandstranden var veldig stenete. I tillegg var plassen drevet av et veldig støyende diselaggregat og de hadde ikke strøm nokk til å ha på aircondition på rommet på dagen, noe jeg som nordmann er ganske avhengig av.
Det var også skitten på rommet med veldig lite belysning og et elektrisk annlegg som kan gi hvem som helst støt av å ta på feil ting.
old facilities and room
but friendly and nice staffs

What a special place to spend few days. The staff is extremely friendly & helpful. I almost don't want this place to become too popular. It's that good. A magical stay in one of the most magical corners of our planet.

No está en Cat Ba necesitas tomar otra lancha pero no te envían previamente los horarios y no se cumplen estrictamente; tuvimos que esperar más de 20 minutos en el muelle de noche ( otra pareja llamo al hotel ) y nos fueron a buscar.
La comida del hotel es regular a mala, se entiende que no pueden tener cocina 24h pero al menos ofrecer snack como noddles o comida congelada fuera del horario ( considerando que no hay otras opciones en la isla).
Había un grupo de huéspedes muy ruidosos que incomodaron a todos los demás pero el personal fue incapaz de controlarlos ( primero nos dijeron que nuestra habitación estaba lejos, pero de todas formas escuchábamos los gritos)
A little paradise build on a low budget but with love. Two scenic hikes to the top of mountains, swimming pool with heated water on the rock, canoe trips and view point terrace will keep one occupied for a few days. Island depends on outside supply and one needs to take that into consideration. Have realistic expectations when choosing to stay on a remote island and you will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately on arrival there was no reservation booked. There was an error on the part of either Expedia or Monkey Island.
They were able to accommodate us, but I think you should investigate why they were not expecting us.

4.0 "Great for a short R&R break "
We stayed on this paradise island for rest and relaxation. We enjoyed our stay but would only recommend staying 2 - 3 nights. Five was too many! The hotel is family run, and they are extending their resort. We stayed in ground floor rooms and I would recommend asking for one on stilts or upstairs due to the ground being a little damp. Also the menu is a little confusing - we helped them update it whilst we were there!

1.0 "몽키와 모기가 없고 바닷물이 베트남에서 제일 깨끗했다. "
조식 및 레스토랑에서 근무하시던 키 큰 여자분은 굉장히 친절하시고 영어 발음도 괜찮았으나
매니저로 보이는 리셉션 데스크 여자는 불친절하고 사투리처럼 영어 발음이 잘 안들린다.
내가 한국 사람이라 그런진 모르겠으나 영어가 부족하면 대화가 잘 안될 듯.
석양을 보기 너무 좋은 곳이다. 체크인을 한다면 시간 맞춰 들어가는 것이 좋으나
깟바가는 것이 워낙 쉽진 않았다. 일단 나는 사파에서 출발해서 8PM에 체크했다.
밤 늦게 도착하게 된다면 하루보단 2일을 추천한다.
내가 정확하게 알아들었는지는 모르겠지만 에어컨이 밤에만 켜지는거 같고
조그만 방보다는 방갈로가 좋아보였다.
(나는 방갈로를 예약했다. 깟바 선착장 쪽에서 리셉션 데스크 쪽으로 두번째 룸.)
물은 깟바와 하롱베이를 여행하면서 몽키아일랜드 앞 바다가 컨디션이 제일 좋았다.
아이와 놀기에도 좋고, 의외로 모기가 없었다. 그리고 몽키도 없었고 ㅋㅋ
짐을 맡아두고 깟바를 투어할 순 없다. 오래 걸리는데 왜 짐을 맡기느냐는 질문을 되받았다.
하롱베이로 넘어가야 하는 나의 스케줄 때문에 미리 나와서 깟바를 투어했다.
조식은 빈약했고, 디너 시간 때 주문한 메뉴판 음식이 훨 먹을 만했다.
2일이나 있는다면, 어느정도 식사 때울 것을 챙겨가는 것도 방법일 것이다.

4.0 "한적한 곳을 원한다면 추천"
섬속에 섬이다보니 가는길이 쉽지 않았지만
사람이 없다는게 가장큰 장점이었습니다
앞에 해변도 좋고 뒤에 산은좀 오르기 험하고
음식은 그냥 그렇습니다.

1.0 "Didn’t honor booking "
Had to book a hostel last minute because they didn’t honor my booking and said they were full. They still haven’t responded to Expedia in about two weeks in regards to processing the refund
