YYouminiBecause my flight itinerary was booked in advance, I later found out that most cruise hotels require you to arrive at the port by 12 PM. Unfortunately, my flight arrived in Hanoi in the afternoon. So, based on the hotel's suggestion, I opted for a tiring journey: after getting off the plane and clearing customs, I rented a car directly to the pier, then took a speedboat to find the parked cruise hotel. It turns out that if you only have one night, a Ha Long Bay cruise hotel is definitely worth experiencing. It's a new establishment, so the facilities are all new, the environment is great, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended!

TThe Sean FamilyThe cruise is very nice and clean. The room is spacious and has very nice view. The service is good. They have activities for guests to enjoy like kayaking, cooking class, and dark and bright cave visit. The food provided is somehow decent for me comparing to the price I paid. For 2 days 1 night, they provided a buffet lunch, a set menu dinner and light breakfast and brunch on Day 2. But overall, it was a good experience.

HHonglianshennanhuoI booked a one-bedroom executive twin room. This hotel is very large with many rooms. I checked in during the Chinese New Year, and the hotel was almost empty; I was the only guest on my entire floor. The room facilities were complete, including a refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine. There were also two TVs. Downstairs, the hotel offers free bicycle rentals, which are great for getting to the beach. The downside of the hotel is that the surrounding area is quite desolate.
YYee11I recently had the pleasure of sailing through Ha Long Bay with Dora Cruise as Doria Cruise not able to complete it time, but the company helped to transferred and provide some discount and it was an unforgettable experience!
The Dora cruise ship was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. They transferred us to the Executive Suite, with its spacious luxury and stunning views of the emerald waters.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. They beautifully decorating our suite with flowers for my birthday, making it feel like a real celebration.
And if that wasn't enough, they even surprised me by also presented me with a delicious birthday cake during dinner, complete with candles and singing! It was such a lovely touch and made my birthday truly special.
The food was delicious and varied, with plenty of options for all dietary needs. The itinerary was well-planned, with a good balance of activities (kayaking, swimming, visiting caves) and relaxation time. Ha Long Bay's breathtaking scenery left us in awe.
Overall, I highly recommend Dora Cruise for an exceptional Ha Long Bay experience! Their attention to detail, kindness, and commitment to making every guest feel special are truly exceptional.

OooiyitungGreat place to just enjoy the beach and hotel facilities! We were lucky to be there (end Nov) when there was hardly anyone else around so we literally had the whole place to ourselves. The only downside is the daily buffet serves pretty much the same food so after a few meals it gets boring. To get out of the island, you will need to take a ferry but luckily some food options are available on the mainland, within walking distance of the ferry terminal. Overall, I would say a solid 8/10!
AAnonymous UserWe booked a 3D2N cruise.
What we liked.
The rooms was great and the vessel was stable.
What we didn’t like
It’s quite boring on board due to lack of facilities.
Consider placing some board games., pool table or gaming machines.
Wifi sucks.. please install starlink !!
There is nothing else onboard other than the dinning hall.
Coffee and tea, water are extra payable during meal times. Come on… at least have the decency to give free. For alcohol and soft drinks we understand it’s chargeable.
Come to the 2nd day we were ushered into another day vessel while the main vessel had to go back to drop off and pick up passengers whom booked 2D1N packages and we see new faces when we returned to the main vessel Venus.
Food wise, it was plentiful but not tasty, quality was mediocre. The lamb chuck we had on 1st day was like rubber.
Overall would not do this again as this is just a tourist mechanic machine.
2D1N or day trip would be more suitable.

JJ. W. (Trip.com)Overall, I found this experience underwhelming. There were only a few activities, and two of the three were scheduled early in the morning (before 9 a.m.), which made them effectively unavailable for anyone who isn’t an early riser. The remaining activities were brief and not particularly engaging — it felt more like a dining cruise than a full excursion. From that perspective, the experience fell short of expectations.
The service also left room for improvement. The wait staff didn’t seem properly trained — for example, they struggled with something as simple as pouring a beer. The food prioritized quantity over quality, and I was surprised to see that different tables were served different dishes without ever being given menus or options. It seemed that choices were made for us based solely on allergies or dietary restrictions.
The cruise itself was stationary for much of the time, and the 50-minute tender ride each way made the journey feel unnecessarily long. When I tried to relax on the balcony, local vendors repeatedly approached the boat in small craft to sell items, which disrupted the atmosphere.
All in all, the experience did not feel worth the price, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others.

XXintianshizhiyiThe first stop in Vietnam, very good. First of all, the front desk guy (Xin) communicates smoothly in Chinese, and he is very nice and enthusiastic! Second, the hotel is non-smoking, which is very friendly to young ladies traveling with children or those who don't like the smell of smoke. Third, the internal facilities of the hotel are reasonably set up, and the supporting facilities have Chinese prompts! The room layout is comfortable! I will consider Royal Halong Hotel next time!
