We stayed at Cat Ba Ecolodge for 3 nights in March. The positives: the pick up was waiting for us in Cat Ba town, the staff were quite helpful on arrival after the bumpy journey mentioned by other reviewers. The room was clean, comfortable, with a very good shower in the 'en suite'. The lodge is in a beautiful position... More

Half encircled by forest, overlooking the sea, this hillside resort offers tons of fun for the family, as well as providing for those with business.The resort is situated on one of the largest islands in Halong Bay, known as Cat Ba Island. Limestone formations and a huge national park make up most of the island. A great way to spend... More

The rooms are in elevated buildings and has air conditioning. Bed is quite comfortable and ensuite bathroom. Bicycles for use and scooters for rent. Food is strictly western... More

The Cat Ba Eco Lodge was such a cool place to stay. We warily booked three nights there having read mixed (albeit mostly positive with just a few very negative) reviews on Tripadvisor and did not really know what to expect. We were so pleasantly surprised however; our pickup from the bus from Hanoi was waiting for us in Cat... More

We stayed at the ecolodge 3 nights in February 2013. The ecolodge ís situated at approximatively 15 km from Cat ba which ís not a problem because the hotel provides shuttle services a few times per day. The surroundings are very quiet, situated near the tropical forest and offer a nice walk around. Rooms are really nice and clean. The... More

I stayed in Cat Ba ecolodge for a few nights in October 2012 and really enjoyed my time. The rooms are confortable and clean. The location is in a nice valley off the beaten track, with very nice rice paddies and walks around. We spent a great relaxing time there. I did appreciate the service, everybody was very helpful, and... More

We stayed here for 2 nights before and after a kayaking trip around the bay with Blue Swimmer. The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable my only gripes are if you had the air con on or simply didn't want to let the bugs in you had to shut the shuttered, thus no daylight and you couldn't enjoy the view....

I had no idea of how beautiful the view would be from our balcony room. The accomodations were very comfortable and the food was great. We tied our 2 night stay to a the Blue Swimmer company that picked us up and took us on a day trip through the Halong Bay. What I like about ecolodges is when you... More

I had really high expectations ahead of visiting the Eco lodge but it didn't live up to billing. Pros - location is great and a welcome relief from cat ba town (which is like a med resort town) - staff really friendly and good fun - good mix of nationalities staying there which adds to atmosphere - close to nature...
