Aravinda Resort Ninh Binh

The property is absolutely beautiful. The rooms, the tub, the pool and the views are great. Also enjoyed the free use of bicycles which helped us get around town.

The restaurant needs improvement. It would be better for them to offer less things on their menu but be sure to make them well. Ended up going in town for most meals which is a quick taxi ride away or a 15 minute bike ride.

Beautiful place with very nice facilities. The pool was very nice. Rooms were clean and the property as well was maintained very well.

Comfortable rooms, good amenities and utilities. the restaurant is excellent and the pool is very nice.

We were arriving by night bus at 4AM so we sent a message to the resort ahead of time, as well as called them. We were assured that we could rest in the lobby area on arrival before check in at 12PM. when we arrived at the resort, the gate was closed, lights were off and there was no staff to let us in. Thankfully a member of the maintenance crew was there to let us in, but was not aware of our arrival. When the receptionist finally arrived she was cold and rude. We called ahead AND sent a message through booking.com, so their lack of preparedness was unacceptable in our opinion.The location is a little far away from town, but not the worst. Close to some minor attractions, but we recommend taking bikes or motorbikes because there’s quite a lot of roaming wild dogs.

cleanness- comfortable- calm and quiet

we super liked it

Beautiful design of the property and rooms, amazing views of the landscape. Quiet and peaceful. Very clean and comfortable.

Lunch took about 90 minutes to complete our meal even though there were only 4 other clients in the restaurant. The server woman took our orders, returned 20 minutes later to tell me the drink I ordered can't be made, so I ordered glass of white wine, which came immediately, and warm. I ordered grilled beef served in bamboo that comes with rice. I repeated "with rice" when I ordered because the option said "with rice or baguette". Half an hour after we order, the beef is served. Alone. No rice. I wait for rice. Ten minutes later, the server comes over and asks me why I am not eating. I say I am waiting for rice. She leaves. Fifteen minutes later she brings my partner's food, also with no rice as the menu says it should come with. I ask for rice again because I see they brought rice to another table. Thirty plus minutes after my beef was served, I ask for rice AGAIN. And the server is confused and asks why I want rice. This is the fourth time I have asked, and IT IS LISTED AS PART OF THE DISH. She is confused, and I have to show her the menu, and explain that it should come with rice (especially for that price!). Later she brings me a tiny sauce bowl of rice. My beef is cold and gross at this point because it was served almost an hour before. No apologies or any awareness from staff that this is utterly unacceptable for a hotel restaurant of this price point. Lunch cost 1 mil VND for two very small dishes, no rice. Every meal was the same. Even breakfasts. It became a joke for us to see which dishes we received and which were forgotten, and how long it would take. That evening we asked this same server at the front desk for water, because the single bottle of water for two people isn't enough, and there is no where to buy water nearby. She seemed unprepared and confused that I needed water. She had to ask the cleaner man to give water in an old bottle.

Absolutely stunning hotel, the staff were exceptional and incredibly friendly. This was such a welcomed relaxing break and we would definitely recommend utilising the free push bikes to get out to see the sites. We also hired a scooter from the hotel with ease. 5* would recommend

Room was dirty, breakfast was poor. Very expensive for what you get
