Really enjoyed seeing this beautiful place - Our room was small but comfortable and we had a small balcony. Staff were excellent and service was great. I would like to venture further and for longer if we're back there and see more of the area. Food on board was very good and we had a lesson in how to roll spring rolls which then were cooked for us to have for lunch. Surprise Cave was amazing and the views were fantastic. It's a shame to see rubbish in the water. I hope operators and boat owners are able to get the bay and surrounds cleaned up to bring it up to the 5 stars it should be.

Nice bay but massive food waste - The bay itself is really nice and we recommend spending 2 nights on a cruise. The staff was welcoming and the cabins were pretty. However, since in Vietnam there's no waste sorting and recycling, it would be much better if the buffet was organised differently and in a way where everyone can just take what they eat. On this cruise, lots of food was served on each table, way more than what one could eat and not even proportional to the number of people on the table. It goes without saying, much of it (even the untouched one) went straight to the bin together with plastic waste. On top of that, the cruise was advertising against the single-use plastic. Yet, water during meal times was served on plastic bottles. We know it's not the cruise'a fault for the management of the wast, but we hope that the company will change their way of doing and move to something greener.
