Cat Ba – Sumarbústaðir

Tuomas Finnland

The location on the edge of the floating village was absolutely amazing. Food was great and each meal had so many different dishes. It was nice to be able to borrow the kayaks to go around the bay, and at night we paddled away from the lights of the village and saw some bioluminescent plankton. We could also rent scooters to drive around Cat Ba island one day.

Very nice people. They let us check in early and showed us the house from top to bottom. The apartment was a very large space, good for families. A washing machine on the third floor and two bathrooms made it very convenient. There is a darling tiny Daschund who lives next door who came and visited us every day. We had a scooter and a bicycle at our disposal, which made going to the old town very quick. The apartment is in a local area with lots of food options. There is a nice little bar called “Trang Draft Beer” that is run by a local woman right next door. Don’t be scared about how it looks. The proprietor speaks great English and offered up stories and local dishes for us tourists not familiar with real Vietnamese food. The beer is cold, food delicious, and the prices cheap. We ate here twice during our trip for under $8 USD for our family of three with three beers each. On the other hand, you can walk 1-2 km into the tourist part of town by the water and pay much higher prices.
