Wonderful stay at Cat Ba, very nice location
Pros:

Very nice staff in a beautiful surrounding. A bit away from the buzz of the major town but easily acessable and just what we looked for. Very helpful staff. Nice place to relax and explore Cat Ba.

Cons:

The accomodation has a lot of cozy places but need some work to bring back to glory.

Lovely spot in amongst a beautiful garden . Not really a resort and bungalows a bit underwhelming - very small and boxed
Pros:

Great location out of town in lovely garden

Cons:

Beds were uncomfortable and bungalows not bungalows rather detached rooms . I was in the third row so the view was the next one , 2 metres away

OK, but wouldn't stay here again. It's miles away from the center and there isn't even a shop nearby
Pros:

The breakfast was ok and the pool was enjoyable.

Cons:

Staff didn't seem friendly. Its a family run buisness, the owners children who work there are constantly on their iphones and they dont speak very good English. The owner seemed to be more attentive to the larger groups staying there. Twice for breakfast i had to ask many times for orange juice and cups. Had to sit outside a few times to eat breakfast as the dining hall is very small.

Has potential, but not a resort
Pros:

Beutiful place, kind reception guy that helps with everything, room is clean with great aircon and beautiful mountain placement.
You can rent bikes, bicycles and they are helpful with tours and such

Cons:

It may be priced like a Resort and maybe for Cat Ba's low standards it is - but it is definitely not a resort, and you don't really get a "Bungalow", but small rooms in train arrangement.
Food is below average, maintainance needs to be improved, noisy children in the pool afternoon, the location is far from everything.

Kind of had to search for people if I need anything, even for breakfast.
You need to work to make it work, underwhelming for the price

Pros:

Beautiful place, away from the busy centre, Tran is very beautiful and helps me with lots of things. We will come back and can't wait to see Tran and everyone ☺️😄

If you are a climbers, it's close to most crags not too far from town and it's quieter here.

Thank you for helping us and having us.
Group of 3, we have 2 Bungalows.

Cons:

Love everything

Xứng đáng để quay lại
Pros:

không gian sân vườn rộng, bể bơi to, thoáng mát, nhiều cây xanh, nhiều hoa, ong bướm bay loạn, nhà hàng đồ ăn tươi ngoan, chúng tôi đặt set menu 200k đã rất ngon, nếu bạn đi gia đình, cặp đôi hoặc bạn yêu thích thiên nhiên thì đây là địa chỉ tốt nên tham khảo..

Cons:

yên tĩnh quá, không khí quá tuyệt vời ,
