This review is not only for Monkey Island Resort but rather for the 3 day/2 night cruise to Monkey Island in Halong Bay. As stated in the title, the whole trip was a highly enjoyable experience, starting with the 3.5 hour mini-bus ride from Hanoi to Tuan Chau Harbour. I can't think of a better way to experience the driving... More

What an amazing experience! We arrived at Monkey Island and from the moment we set foot on the beach we felt welcome. Thang is such an amazing host. He speaks English well, always has a smile on his face and is very helpful. Our room was everything that we needed and wanted. Sleep with the mosquito net around the bed,... More

We stayed one night at Monkey Island Resort and thought it was great. It has a rustic feel but is completely comfortable and has everything you need. The main highlight for us was Tang who is in customer service, as well as the other staff. Tang is fantastic, he speaks excellent English and has a really good understanding of hospitality.... More

The beautiful place has nice beach huts on monkey Island, just 20 minutes by boat from Cat Ba harbor. The people are very friendly and the staff helpful. The resort is isolated and you don't have the opportunity to eat or drink somewhere else. Coming from other parts of Vietnam, we found the Hotel and restaurant/bar a little overpriced. Other... More

Very Nice secluded resort on Monkey Island. We incorporated this resort with our Halong Bay boat tour. The individual bungalows are very comfortable and clean. We had a seaview bungalow. Private small balcony. The food provided was plentiful and delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. A great place to relax after the boat tour.
