Victor our host a lovely, friendly and enthusiastic guide.
Lan Ha Bay beautiful.
Rooms on boat spacious and hot water in showers. We heard a rodent between the roof rafters scratching away on occasions.
It is rated as 3stars - therefore they do try with the food - they aim to provide you Western/Vietnamese a la carte / tasting menu and fail miserably. Disappointing and we wished they just gave us their delicious Vietnamese food and with a reasonable portion size. Food is either bland, little taste or is cheap cuts of meat (thank goodness for their bottles of chilli sauce). Between meals we had left over bits of skin or bone and fish on your plate and then asked to eat another saucy meaty dish - we had to ask for a new plate. Then one of the sauces used in their presentation tasted like ketchup. Breakfast we had fruit, yoghurt, bread for toast and soup which was great.
Kayaking and cave boat trip was enjoyable.
A good trip to see the scenery! Don’t have high expectations of the food and you shall be fine.
