My family (group of 11) did a 2 day/1 night tour. For some reason we were invited to my cousin's honeymoon trip so...why not??This was seriously the best thing I have done in Asia.

This was seriously the best thing I have done in Asia. The rooms were beautifully appointed and had a spa! I stayed it on the middle deck, and other members of the family who stayed on the same level had the same sort of room.

The food was great - so much of it! A bit more Western than most places in Vietnam, but this may come as a welcome relief to those who are over Hanoi street food, ultra chilli dishes, chicken heads in the soup, or fish with the bones it. None of that here. About seven courses per meal and I'm pretty sure I put on a kilo while I was there.

There's a chance to go kayaking around Ha Long bay which is great. Or take a bum boat if you're lazy. There's also a cave trip - but honestly, I'd stay on the boat for that one.

We also booked out the top deck rooms (x2) that had a balcony on each. Large rooms, both with spas also. We tried not to annoy the honey-mooners too much but sat out on the other verandah drinking gin and tonics until the sun went down and the karaoke began.

We all agreed (perhaps under the influence of some Bia Hanoi) that we would all come back ASAP. Combined family birthday. Any excuse.
