Family-friendly Hotels in Ha Long

We stayed here towards the end of our trip. It was a great place to switch off and relax on the balcony, read a book, go to the gym, go for a swim in the pool etc. There are lots of kids around given it's a family friendly place. The buffet breakfast was really yummy with lots of different options (I'm gluten intolerant and there was still plenty to choose from). We paid for the buffet dinner one night which was nice however, I was expecting there to be some drinks other than water and tea/coffee on offer, you could buy drinks through the bar for an additional cost. Grounds are kept really well and the boat to and from the mainland was cool too.

I stayed with my parents at @flc.hotelsandresorts in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam and here’s my feedback ⬇️ 👉 Truly a luxurious stay. The room was clean and spacious, with a really nice view of the golf course and part of Ha Long Bay. 👉 You have to visit the Sky Bar on 21st floor & Bamboo Restaurant. they both are top notch! .👉 Swimming pool was great but we didn’t use due to cold weather but they have indoor temperature controlled swimming pool as well which was equally wonderful 👉 Hotel staff left no stone unturned to make our stay memorable. 👉Only few staff speak English but that won’t be any issue 👉 Overall, if you planning with your parents/family, you should Consider this one..

The hotel is brand new and very clean. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The area is still under construction. This (at the moment) results in a less beautiful view/environment. But I am convinced that it will be beautiful within a year. The hotel location is quite far from the city center and shopping malls. A car or taxi is needed. Or you can get bicycles at the hotel. The employees are very friendly and helpful. Special note to Tracy, she has served us several times with very personalized service. Couldn't be better! The 3 restaurants in the hotel are highly recommended. We stayed 6 days in an apartment in this hotel.

We wanted a hotel instead of usual overnight cruise for flexibility at night. Best Western Sapphire Ha Long was one of the few hotels where we could preselect ocean view room instead of it being up to chance/luck. The hotel itself was stunning! The staff so thoughtful, helpful and courteous that really elevated the experience to something very special. The hotel and rooms are very luxurious! We chose the 2 br oceanview and all rooms had amazing views, with the lounge having a balcony along with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bay. It was so lovely relaxing. We had a drizzly day but it was still so special. The official photos are exactly what you get and are honest in their representation. The buffet breakfast is enormous in variety! Full Western and Asian selections with salads, pastries, noodles, congee, juice and muesli, hot cooked buffets just to name a few. There was plenty with no sign of running out when we were there (Dec). The breakfast room was huge and elegant. Definitely worth adding it on to your stay! We were warned by others that the location is not convenient to main centre, which was good advice, as it is about 15 mins drive over the bridge. However it is not so isolated from other things and there were many restaurants and cafes around it and the walkways along the way stunning. We were kind of just wanting to chill when no on the cruise so this was perfect for us! I would definitely recommend and hope to return one day.

On our tour through Vietnam we stayed in this hotel. It is central, nearby are several restaurants and cafes. The rooms are clean and maintained and the staff were also quite friendly. Due to the Corona pandemic, few guests were present, so breakfast had to be ordered on the day before. The continental version, consisting of roasting, spice, small sausages, salad, bread and fresh fruit was sufficient and delicious. We had a pleasant stay in any case.

Great location, walking distance to Ha Long night market and all the shops & restaurants along Ha Long street. Good service, pleasant staff, excellent breakfast buffet. Clean, spacious and comfortable room. The only issue was the rowdy crowd who made the hotel breakfast buffet felt like being in a disorganized flea market, people were shoving themselves at all the buffet stations, they were yelling (calling each other), they all talked extremely loud as if they all half deaf. Quite disappointing to see this kind of behavior in a 5* hotel.

The service is very good, the environment is great and clean. February may be the off-season in Halong Bay. When we arrived near the hotel, the entire area felt desolate and a bit like an empty city. A sharp contrast to Hanoi. People who like liveliness will be a little depressed, and it is rare to see people around. A day trip to Halong Bay is enough for a group tour. It is not recommended to stay for two nights.

The first time I came to this city to travel, everything was great. The hotel staff welcomed me very enthusiastically and thoughtfully, the room was luxuriously designed and comfortable, the food here was also quite delicious. highly appreciated the hotel's services.

We loved this hotel and it was right across the road from the beach. Breakfast buffet had a huge variety of tasty food, amazing swimming pools and on my birthday they brought me a nice cake. They also decorated my room with happy birthday free of charge. Lovely place

Despite the major hiccup (Signature Cruise was overbooked and they bumped us off to Athena Cruise)... Met new friends on board which was a blessing in disguise, adding to the whole experience. Happy to have ended our honeymoon on the cruise. Activities were just nice, though we hoped there would be a karaoke lounge and a room with a bathtub view of Halong Bay to top it all off.
