5-Star Hotels in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam

We stayed at The Watson Hotel in Ha Long for three nights, and it was fantastic. Our room on the 20th floor was beautifully designed and high-quality. The breakfast was decent, offering a good mix of Western options and fresh fruits. The highlight was the rooftop infinity pool, offering stunning views of the illuminated city at night. While our city-facing room had slight street noise, it didn’t bother us, even as light sleepers. For an even better experience, I’d recommend spending a bit more on a sea-view room for breathtaking views of Ha Long Bay and a quieter atmosphere.

I recommend everyone to stay for two nights. The itinerary is very rich. The next day there will be a deep cruise ship in Halong Bay. You can see a beautiful scenery. The cruise staff are very warm and thoughtful, just eat in general The flaws are not concealed

We stayed for 3 nights and really loved this place. Staff members were extremely kind and helpful. Food was great in both the breakfast hall and the Italian restaurant. However, there are a few things we want to point out. First of all, the indoor swimming pool water was really filthy. That really needs to be improved. Furthermore, the sauna and steam room area was not properly attended to. Towels were piled and hair was everywhere on the floor in sauna area. The Jacuzzi water was not hot enough. Also the steam room and dry sauna were not hot enough. In addtion, the balcony in our room was terribly dirty. We tried to clean it ourselves but gave up because it was not possible to clean them with just tissue paper. Staff did however send someone to wash the balcony table, chairs, floors and rails and we are grateful for that. Despite some drawbacks, we really enjoyed out stay. Overall this is a really lovely hotel and as already stated, the staff are wonderful.

A standard new hotel, which is already a good hotel in Halong. The room size is OK. The front desk staff in the lobby are warm, polite and friendly. They all speak English very well. Seeing that I am Chinese, they also try to speak Chinese. Thank you. There are Vietnamese specialties in the breakfast, such as Vietnamese baguette, sticky rice, fried fish balls, rice noodles, etc. The most impressive thing is that the service attitude of the service staff at each work position is very good.

A fantastic hotel nestled in the mountains. Of all the hotels I've stayed in, this one truly stands out as unique and memorable. Its secluded mountain location meant there was nothing else nearby, but it was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The rooms, constructed from wood and metal, were particularly striking. While their dimness made them feel a little eerie at times, I really appreciated its nature-friendly concept and the overall 'healing stay' vibe. The only major hiccup was a sudden power outage, which was genuinely quite frightening. And the food was great too!

The service was very good. The response to the additional shuttle bus arranged from Hanoi to Halong Bay was very fast. The bus went to the wrong hotel first that day, but someone could follow up within ten minutes. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the boat. The dining also surprised me. I recommend this cruise accommodation.

We had a wonderful trip with Capella Cruise from start to finish! Organised pick up and drop off from our hotel in old quarter via email before arriving (easy process) and drivers were great! Got to the port and got welcome drinks, then our cruise manager (Tom ”cruise” manager) gave us our keys and explained everything we needed to know for our stay plus our itinerary for the day on the tender boat as we made our way to the cruise! He was a wonderful manager the whole trip! our room was beautiful with ”corner” views of the bay and our own terrace balcony! we only stayed for one night and we think that's enough - we had buffet lunch after we arrived, and then it was time for water activities (pool, water slide, or kayaking), after relaxing abit it was time to enjoy the sunset with happy hour! the views from the top deck were amazing! we went to the spring roll cooking class before dinner and it was lots of fun! dinner time was set dinner - this was perhaps the only thing we thought could be different - dinner was western style, would have been better if it was Vietnamese cuisine! after dinner there were a number of activities you can do - we tried squid fishing (gave up quickly haha) then a group of us that all just met at the pool went to play poker - that was a lot of fun with the crew ******! next morning was an early start to visit the darken caves, sad we didn't get to see the monkeys, after that it was time for buffet lunch before going back to the port! all the crew were so nice and helpful, we really enjoyed our stay at the cruise! We would recommend just one night stay, second day would have been abit boring with repetitive things to do/eat!

Мы побывали в бухте Халонг совместно с компанией AMANDA LUXURY CRUSE .Это были самые незабываемые дни! Сразу заметна работа профессионалов. Особо хочется выделить менеджера Lee. Всегда готов помочь решить любой вопрос,а какие он готовит роллы на мастер классах! Отличная, слаженнна работа команды теплохода и отдельный респект работникам ресторана и Шеф повару . Такого разнообразия и крутой подачи блюд не часто встречаешь. 5 блюд на ужин- это великолепно! У нас была каюта повышенной комфортности с панорамными окнами, личным балконов, джакузи .Проживание в этом каюте не передать словами, нужно лично ощутить всю прелесть 👍. Красота и могущество Халонга, прекрасная, комфортабельная каюта, разнообразная программа тура на 3 дня - все это оставило радость, восторг, умиление от этого волшебного круиза! Рекомендуем на все 200%! Тур на 3 дня с AMANDA LUXURY CRUSE нельзя пропустить!

The experience itself was wonderful because the place is a paradise. The staff service was very good and friendly, as is the case with all of Vietnam. Something to keep in mind: meals are included, but drinks are not. We booked a package through Trip that included drinks and snacks in addition to meals. The only drinks included were two waters in the room; the rest were paid for, even the water. Very unclear on Trip. The hotel transfer to and from Hanoi included an unnecessary stop at a pearl market and then back at a souvenir shop. Finally, the 2-day/1-night package would not be considered as such, as the cruise ship boards at 12:30 pm and returns to the port at 10:40 am. Even so, it is recommended, or perhaps book an extra night. It is not recommended for traveling back and forth in the same day; it takes very little time.

As I wrote my last review, I was waiting for my transport back to Hanoi as Super Typhoon Yagi was well approaching. It just so happened that minutes before we were supposed to be picked up, the transport cancelled, leaving us stranded in Ha Long with nowhere to go. So I booked another night at The Yacht. It has BY FAR the best staff I have ever seen at any hotel. The storm was the biggest that’s hit Ha Long in decades and it caused ALOT of damage. The staff kept all the guests calm and assured and even switched our rooms from high floors for safety reasons. Thank you to Nga at the front desk, bye very special Thank you to Thao (also at the front desk). She made our very challenging couple of hours after the storm disrupted our plans (rebooking flights and hotels in Hanoi, dealing with transport and everything else) a lot less stressful. I cannot thank the team at The Yacht enough. Best hotel experience ever. Thank you all and I will be coming back.
