Where to Stay on Cat-Ba island ? – Hotels

Almost all tourists are staying in the little town, in the south of the island. Tourists call it “Cat Ba Town”.

There are almost no fancy hotels here, but small, economic hotels, many of them managed by families. Hotel prices on Cat Ba are relatively low (certainly compared to the prices in Saigon and Hanoi). The high season on this island is around July and August (there are many Vietnamese tourists on vacation).

After you see on this page, the optional zones to stay, you can book a room for Cat Ba island with Booking.com and read opinions of travelers for each place.

Option 1 – The Center of Cat-Ba Town

Let’s look at the Map of the Center of Cat Ba Town :

The hotels are concentrated on the first line of the sea (the promenade) and the “loop” road (marked in yellow on the Map). The town is not especially noisy, unless you have a room that faces a construction site (yes, there is construction everywhere in Vietnam).

There are also hotels around the little lake (that you see on the map above). My hotel was on the lake and I was satisfied.

Note : There is construction in front of the main road, inside the sea. When this huge project will terminates, there will be a complex of hotels in front of a new beach.

Option 2 – The “3 Beaches”

If you walk from the “center” 350 meters, you arrive to Beach number 1 (Bai Tam Cat Co 1).

Here there is a huge hotel with several buildings. The hotel is called Flamingos Cat Ba Resort. It is great to stay here, it is a very beautiful environment and you are also at a walking distance to the “center”.

The Beach is beautiful and the hotel is beautiful.

It is a top hotel. It is relatively new. It was opened in 2021.
As I mentioned, this hotel has several buildings. One building is facing beach number 1 and another building, beach number 2. There is a bridge between the buildings, with view over the bay.

If you stay in this hotel, you are also close to the panoramic trail between beach 1 and 3 :

Next to Flamingos hotel is The May Legend Hotel. Also a top hotel.

Here is the swimming pool :

There is another big hotel in beach 3. It is called Hotel Perle d’Orient.

Option 3 – At a radius of up to 3 Km from the Town

There are new hotels around the town of Cat Ba. You may choose to live a little bit farther from the town if you think that the hotel is good. In that case, it is better to rent a motorbike in order to come to eat in the center.

You can also find accommodation on other points on the island (Home Stay), but it is not very common.

Option 4 – Sleep on a Cruise Boat

There are a lot of cruise boats sailing on the waters of Halong Bay. Some of the boats have sleeping cabins. You can join a cruise boat for 2 or more days. You can reserve your place via a travel agency, your hotel or online with Booking.com. If you reserve online, make sure the boat departs from where you want, because some boats are departing from Cat-Ba island and others from the boat terminal in Halong City.
