I had an amazing experience with all the touring. Our tour guides are very accommodating and most are on time. They respected our time and they made sure to take a photo of us, I’m guessing this is a proof that we got picked up and dropped off 😊
The only comment and recommendation I have for the tour is to let the travelers know that there are shops in the tour area and that cash must to have as there is no ATM machine or use of credit cards available in the tour area/ destination.
Overall the tour is phenomenally beautiful.

The only comment I had was that the shower door doesn’t closed all the way.

There’s not that many places to eat but there’s a small business center that has a good massage.
De Charme Hotel

The location is great for night walks, dine in and also massage. The hotel was very accommodating, they even let us use the bathroom and pool even after we checked out to change from out water trip adventure.

Very clean and sophisticated design. On spot massage and the front desk staff Micheal made are stay even more satisfying and comfortable even for only night. We wished we had stayed longer but we had a drive to Halong Bay. ATM outside- very convenient. Restaurant and shops surrounding. The only thing is the traffic, because it’s a busy area and the street are narrow.

King Fivitel
Da Nang

The hotel is located in the Main Street which is busy and a busload of guys are happened to there when we were staying. First, they made a mistake giving us a wrong reservation room which they moved us to another room that smells smoke. The hallway is very narrow and small so while waiting for the elevator you can hear the conversation from all the rooms adjacent to the elevator. I like the most was the bathroom that has a window view.

Le Journey Halong Cruise

You can tell the ship/boat is aging but they kept it clean and organized. The 17 crew member and the manager/captain done a tremendously well on the journey. The captain/ manager is well English and well spoken, he is very knowledgeable about the tour and history. Very accommodating to request and mandate. Some diverse groups are stubborn but he was able to hold his guard well and kept it up as planned. The only thing that I can see is that was a constant concern and struggle with the crew’s are getting everyone a hot water request and getting the coffee hot and ready on time. This is something to improve to the services needed in the journey to make everyone happy and comfortable drinking their coffee. 😊 especially in very cold morning and night.
