IndoChina Heritage experince in Ha Long Bay, Vietname

Our experience with IndoChina Heritage with the Manager, Happy Buddha in Ha Long bay was etremely wonderful. Staff were helpful, courteous, friendly and accomodating. The food was really great, we cannot say no to everything they offer on the table. The room was clean and tidy, feeling like it was our Vietnam's once-in-a-lifetime experience. 5/5 stars for the trip, the food, the crew and the view.

Perfect!

Delicious food- and they made sure we had vegan meals - nothing was too much trouble.
The cabin we had was decorated so nicely, really cosy (the aircon was great)
Comfy bed, good water pressure in the shower, truly no downside to our stay
