Lodging

Overnight stay. Ha Long Bay overall is really nice. Def just need 1 night stay here on the cruise. One the cruise we did 2 excursions. 1st one was kayaking then the next one was going through caves. They were meh. but views that you get are amazing. The cruise overall was pretty awesome but it was very touristy. Well organized.

We got picked up at our hotel around 8am because it takes about 2.5-3hrs to get there. Made a small pitstop along the way for bathroom/snack break. The location that you stop is pretty much a tourist spot, its where every tour company stops at and pretty much around the same time too.

Nov 25 - Nov 29. It’s a great hotel. Amazing service - they even let us use a shower (and room) after we checked out of our room. They had decent breakfast too. Really centrally located so that was a great benefit as well. It’s also tucked away in an inner street so its not as crazy / loud.

The rooms were nice too but their shower situation was funny because the shower curtain didn’t go all the way down past the tub.

Nov 16 - Nov 20. Located in Bandra. Good location good and clean hotel. During morning breakfast rush the hotel elevators take forever! Took 20 mins to get to breakfast one day.

Nov 20 - Nov 24. This was a great hotel they have amazing breakfast and really nice views from the roof and breakfast area. Very friendly staff. Rooms also very clean. Great location too

Nov 24-25. Stayed at JW Marriott in Juhu Beach. Decent lounge. Nice and clean rooms.
