• Halong Bay Vietnam

  With an evocative name prompting images amongst locals of dragons rising from its pristine waters, Halong Bay is infamously beautiful, but becoming more and more of a tourist trap. If you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself whipped around the bay at double quick time, with little chance to do more than glance out and get a quick eyeful of the best of the sights. It’s worth paying more to avoid this experience, as seeing Halong Bay the wrong way takes away the beauty of the place entirely.
  
  If you want a truly memorable Halong Bay trip, best hop aboard an overnight ‘junk’, from where you can visit a host of islands, go cycling amongst the paddy fields, play with the local monkeys and take plenty of chances to jump in and swim in the tepid water. Meals are usually included, and with a night booked in advance, you can put a restriction on how early the dodgy boatsman can bring you back to shore. If you have a bit of cash to throw around, there are some other exceptional experiences, too, such as heading down into the impressive assortment of caves to be found on the islands, or even indulging in a surprisingly affordable helicopter trip over it all.
  
  Many book their trips back in Hanoi, where you should be able to sort a two-day (one night) tour around the jutting islands and extensive bay for around $80, including a selection of food. If you get the right tour, the experience is a truly special one, with local cuisine, spectacular asides (be sure to kayak if you get the chance), and lush, towering islands that give a true sense of tropical paradise.
  
  You have to pay to get in to Halong Bay, too, but all the tourist hassle is there for a reason: this genuinely is one of the most attractive corners of Viet Nam, and generally worth the hassle, though you will inevitably feel like a real package tourist strolling the golden beaches and hanging out on the boats. Not one for the purists, perhaps, but essential nonetheless.

• Hạ Long Bay

  One of the most beautiful destinations in the whole of Vietnam is Ha Long Bay. Located in the Quang Ninh province just off the South China Sea, Ha Long Bay derives its name from the thousands of limestone karsts and islands which rise from the waters, jutting upwards like the gnarled fingers of some great aquatic beast clutching at the sky. The legends say that years ago the gods sent a family of dragons to help the people defend against invaders, and the dragons spat out jade jewels which sunk into the bay to create the series of islands and karst formations, blocking the invaders from sailing in. And while the legends may be nothing more than just that, there is no doubt that the views seen in Ha Long Bay are such that they have inspired millions of visitors in their time, and it has been listed as a World Heritage site since 1994.
  
  Today, Ha Long Bay is considered one of the most popular destinations in Vietnam so far as tourists are concerned. Unfortunately, it reeks of just that: tourism. While the area is stunning in terms of natural beauty, some of that is spoilt by the never-ending throngs of people and the fleet of diesel-powered junks (cheap imitations of the traditional Asian boats) that ferry people to and fro among the islands without any care for the environment, interested only in profiting as much as possible from the tourists. It is almost impossible to experience Ha Long Bay in an idyllic setting, but if you can handle the crowds and the very obvious tourist trap nature of the place, then it is well worth the trip. The best way to experience the bay if you are an adventurous sort is to rent your own kayak and find a secluded spot to relax, but other than that you can always rent a junk for a day cruise or even an overnight trip.

  Good stay for vacation! Receptionist very helpful and welcome us. They gave us all information we need. In weekend we found that they busy but polite and hardworking. Thank you all of you and we will come back your hotel in future!

  Kids running around everywhere, screaming and crying. Room walls didn't seem to dampen sound at all. While the staff was polite, even a simple request to buy a bottle of water or Coke seemed to confuse them, as they pointed us to a market 1km away. Maybe the hotel doesn't have any drinks for slae outside of the restaurant. Either way, definitely not a four star experience. Breakfast buffet was good though.
• Pavan Singh
  It's not a typical Novotel experience. Just looks like a ordinary hotel from outside but rooms inside are pretty good. You can here sound from your adjacent rooms, they all are interconnected. Breakfast spread obviously nice. They ask you significant security deposit which is uncommon with Vietnam hotels.

  There is not much choice when it comes to Western food in Ha Long so I thought I'd give this a try. The service got off to a rocky start, first I was brought the main menu, then the pasta menu, and finally the drinks menu. This set the trend, whilst staff were friendly, they were also very inattentive and getting another drink or even the bill proved to be a challenge. The interior is typical chain hotel coffee shop style and it was quite noisy, with lots of Vietnamese kids screaming and running around. The food was mediocre at best. I had the Calamari rings. OK, but I have had better in a pub. The salmon steak tasted OK but had the thickness of a postal stamp. Vegetables were way undercooked and cold and, as the plate was also cold, the fish also became cold immediately. The highlight were the mashed potatoes, some of the best I have had in a while. The floor around my table was quite dirty and the table wobbly, one of my pet hates. I would go back given the lack of choices in Ha Long, otherwise I'd give it a berth. For the quality, I considered the USD 40 I spent quite pricey.
