All the local guides and drivers were excellent. A special thanks to Long who put the itinerary together and checked in with me each day to see how the day went and to prepare me for the next day. Long was on top of everything. He's also so courteous. I would recommend Long and Kim Kim to anyone looking to travel to Vietnam.

This hotel was awesome. The breakfast buffet was better than any other hotel I have ever stayed at if my entire life.

The concierge XC (I think was his name) and Sarah were great and the front desk was great too. In fact, I spoke to the manager to congratulate them on their staff.

Apparently, this was a 3 or 4 star hotel. It was not rated a 5 star hotel. It probably is not a 5 star, but it is well worth the cost. It had everything I needed at a lower cost.

This is no one's fault, but we never saw the sun. It was disappointing to have cloudy days while we were on this trip.
