"Pros: I think one of the best locations to stay in Viet Hai as it is at the upper end of the village, so you you are a bit out of the hustling day-tourists which luckily all leave at 6pm. Then you are really at peace there and can enjoy the village and the valley quietly. The cabins are simple but comfortable. The owner really cares and helped us organizing our canoeing trip to the bay and finally our way back to Ben Bo." ~Christoph

"Pros: The place was lovely, a beautiful garden in the middle of nowhere. I preferred this to Cat Ba city, since there are big works happening there. It’s not super easy to reach, and apparently the Homestay suggested against the public boat that passes twice a day (I didn’t really saw it actually). However, even if more costly, the speed boat was nice. I told Chilly my plan was to take the public boat to have a longer trip across the islands and he extended the speedboat trip to give me the same experience, which was really nice! The food was very good and I took the day long trip in the boat. The guide was amazing and the cocktails too. I also went for a night trip with the kayak to see the bioluminescence, and it was far more beautiful than I expected. Even if I was on a budget, I’m happy I spent some more money for that, these are great memories." ~Costanza
