The One 'Private Island' Escape

Location was lovely, food for lunch and was good.

Staff need to be trained to service and to be aware of customers needs, most of the staff were playing on the pool table for 90% of the time we were there. As it was raining while we were there, our roof leaked next to our bed, when we reported this, reception said “this is an island” as if that was the reason for non maintenance. Breakfast choices were poor and no coffee was offered, only tea, needed to purchase coffee from the bar. In general, staff were indifferent except for Alex who was friendly and helpful.

remote, beautiful, happy hour

dirty beach, shells, no free bbq

The whole experience felt like a dream! You have to take a quick boat ride to get to the island, but the hostel arranges everything for you, making it super easy and stress-free. The location is stunning, with a private beach and great facilities. What really made the stay unforgettable was Alex, one of the staff members - he’s absolutely amazing. He spent time with our group, shared a lot about Vietnamese culture, and really helped create a warm and friendly atmosphere. I originally booked for 2 nights but could’ve easily stayed longer!

Honestly, nothing major.

Unique private retreat. Beautiful area and views. Comfortable bed, cold AC, waves next to bungalow. Food and drink reasonably priced for location. Hot shower, large bungalows. Bar staff were happy and efficient most of the time

Room floor was dirty (with a lot of sand) when I entered but that could be the 'beach life'. Communication wasn't great- as others have mentioned, Alex (and some other staff) were too busy getting drunk or being hungover to assist at times. Unprofessional. Also, they tried to bill me extra drinks at the end which I didn't purchase so beware!

I really enjoyed my stay at the private island. It had the perfect amount of nature, adventure and social activities. The staff was friendly and helpful and the ocean side bungalow was perfect. I will be coming back and next time staying for longer.

So it is as given, you are on your own private island with easy access to kayaking and 2 stunning beaches! The rest of the facilities are okay. Mr Dat was very helpful and very good

So they do provide breakfast, but this is not on booking.com... they also don't tell you that if you bring outside food onto the island it's a 500000vnd fine (about £14). It's very isolated, so don't come if you want to explore any of cat ba, and it's quite tricky to get too via their boat (the harbour is quite a distance from the city on cat ba.). The food is fairly average compared to other food we've had in Vietnam. The bungalows are fairly comfortable but the beds are rock solid, and the electricity is turned off twice per day for 2 hours, so you may wake up in the sweltering heat with no air con at 5am. Overall, if you're looking for a getaway with some relaxation this is great, but not for exploring.

The location was amazing!! Loved the ferry ride. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Alex kept us company all throughout!! Kudos to the entire team!!

That it was a one day trip for us!!

this is the perfect accomodation! we extended our stay and wished we could‘ve stayed for weeks. you literally have the whole island for yourself, you can take a kajak, go on a little hike and enjoy the sunset from sunset beach. the staff here was so nice and helpful, especially Alex does his best to make you always feel good and welcome. the food was very good and we also loved the pool! if you want to relax (but also maybe enjoy the happy hour in the evening) this is THE place to go.
