Holiday Villa Halong Bay Tuan Chau Island Review

Update: This resort is no longer the Holiday Villa and is under another name. But the alternative is still here; therefore, if you are visiting or staying here, do update me thank you.

Most of the fittings were from the original resort, while minor additions were added to make the place stand out. You get warm once you step inside the main resort building. 

Walking to the top of the hill will take about 10-15 minutes, while the resort buggy will usually shuttle you up and down. A total of 220 rooms and suites are also available at the Holiday Villa Tuan Chau Island.

For those seeking a little pampering, you can also check out the Tuan Chau Spa at the resort. Complete packages are available right down to foot massages and hair washes for the ladies.

Tuan Chau Restaurant is the main restaurant offering you a variety of cuisines ranging from local Vietnamese, Asian and International.

Prices are very reasonable too. I would like to highlight that the Executive Chef here is Malaysian; therefore, the food here is halal for Muslim travellers. There is no pork served here.

Just take a look at the size of it in the picture above. I would give it a seven out of ten on my Southeast Asian burger quest in terms of quality and presentation.

In conclusion, Holiday Villa Halong Bay is the perfect place if you have a family with children or a couple seeking a beautiful yet enjoyable holiday in Halong Bay.

The resort also is the perfect place for MICE, Company Trips or Holidays and Team Building events. Because it is located on the stand-alone island of Tuan Chau, you can expect ultimate privacy here.

A newly built jetty that offers cruises to Halong Bay, a 4km man-made beach with local cafes and restaurants, a large building with ferry and cruise counters, and a modern karaoke club and disco make this island a destination for locals and also foreign travellers.
