Bai Chay, Ha Long CityMuong Thanh Luxury Ha Long Centre is one of the large hotels of the Vietnamese Muong Thanh group, a tall tower in the middle of Bai Chay. Its pool is on the fifth floor, open from 06:00 to 22:00, with Camellia Spa one floor below and a gym, and its Deluxe King Ocean rooms face the sea.
For a cruise it is hard to beat on distance: Ha Long International Cruise Port is about 3 minutes by car, and Tuan Chau International Marina, where most overnight ships board, about 15. The rate we found included breakfast for two, so you can eat before the transfer and be on the boat by late morning.
