This is a heartwarming story of a lost and found.
This trip itinerary covered three places:
Hanoi --> Ninh Binh (2.5-hour drive)
Ninh Binh --> Ha Long (3-hour drive)
Ha Long --> Hanoi Airport (2-hour drive)
For two nights in Ninh Binh, I stayed at a place called ”Mai Luxury Hotel.”
Judging by the name, it sounds grand,
but in reality, it was more like
a family-run, small-scale single-building guesthouse.
However, the room was of 4-star hotel quality,
so it was acceptable.
After checking out,
I had been on the way to Ha Long for about two hours when
I realized I had left my Insta 360 camera in the hotel lobby.
Knowing there was no way to go back and get it,
I had to wait until I arrived in Ha Long before calling Mai Luxury Hotel.
After confirming with them that I had indeed left it at the hotel,
we started looking for a solution.
Initially, they followed me on IG
(their hotel IG only had 4 followers).
We chatted via DM, and then they added me on WhatsApp to discuss.
Originally, they wanted to find a driver that very evening
to bring it to my hotel in Ha Long Bay.
But because it was a holiday, they couldn't find a driver.
Later, they found out I would be leaving Vietnam the next day,
so they started looking for any drivers heading to the airport the following day.
Not long after,
they actually found a driver.
They even sent me the driver's and vehicle's details.
They also said they had already wrapped it up securely.
At this point,
I was inclined to believe they genuinely intended to return it.
However, if the driver turned out to be dishonest, it could still go missing.
On the final day,
I arrived at the airport around 1 PM and received a message from the driver.
After that, I didn't hear from him again.
I grew increasingly anxious inside,
thinking maybe he was still driving?
Or perhaps he had already kept the camera for himself.
Around 4 PM, I finally received a call from the driver.
He even captured a photo of my anxious expression while waiting for him.
As previously arranged with the hotel,
I was to pay him 500,000 VND (about 150 HKD).
At that moment, the driver actually handed me back 200,000 VND.
Before I could react, he had already gotten back in his car and left.
When I looked at the returned item, I could hardly believe it!
The hotel had used a ”Happy New Year” bag
to hold a ”Happy New Year” box.
Upon opening the box, the camera was wrapped in cloth.
The level of care and thoughtfulness was truly perfect.
The feeling of joy from recovering something lost is truly
indescribable.
Of course, I wouldn't dare say that everyone in Vietnam is good,
but at least on this trip,
whether it was the hotpot restaurant owner, the tour guide on the boat, or the hotel staff,
they all made me feel
the warmth and kindness of the local people.

El resort Bliss comenzó a funcionar en julio de 2025, aunque sólo comenzó menos de un año, pero los empleados eran de alta calidad, muy profesional y el servicio era muy entusiasta. El tipo de desayuno del hotel no es mucho, pero el sabor es muy bueno. Comimos dos días de cena, también es bastante y sabor, y la chef tiene un gran nivel de hotel.
Esta es la villa de dos habitaciones que reservamos, con piscina privada, una amplia habitación, dos baños, y una sala de estar.
El hotel ofrece alquiler de coches de pie gratis, y también coches que pueden alquilarse, y el precio es razonable.
Según su área de Ningping, el coche lleva unos 15 minutos, pero es conveniente llamar Grab o Green SM.
Iris y el gerente del hotel responden con entusiasmo a nuestras preguntas y nos dan también sugerencias para visitar las atracciones turísticas. Si tenemos la oportunidad de volver a Ningping, seguiremos eligiendo este hotel.

**A Hidden Paradise in Ninh Bình**
I honestly didn't expect to find something this peaceful. Tucked between towering limestone mountains and a quiet river, this resort feels like a true 世外桃源 — a world away from everything.
The pool is one of the most beautiful I've seen: spotless, calm, and perfectly framed by palm trees and thatched-roof bungalows. Every morning I'd sit by the water with the mountains rising just behind the rooftops, and it genuinely felt like the outside world had disappeared.
What made the stay truly special, though, was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and constantly going out of their way to make guests comfortable — from a relaxing complimentary foot soak by the river to little touches like fresh tea and local snacks served in traditional bowls on the bamboo table. Nothing felt rushed or transactional; every interaction felt genuine and kind.
The surrounding scenery is stunning — bamboo groves, a floating pavilion over the water, and mountains wrapped in mist most mornings. Sitting there with tea and watching the light change over the hills was one of my favorite moments of the entire trip.
Rooms are simple but comfortable, blending naturally into the landscape with earthy tones and thatched roofs that suit the setting perfectly. It's the kind of place where you slow down without even trying.
If you're looking for a peaceful escape with genuine hospitality, clean facilities, and gorgeous natural surroundings, I can't recommend this place enough. It's a rare find — truly a paradise hidden among the mountains and water.

Si llevas mucho equipaje o es tu primera vez, puede que te resulte un poco incómodo. Por la noche, no hay mucha iluminación en los alrededores y el ambiente es bastante oscuro, así que ten un poco de cuidado al regresar.
Sin embargo, la ventaja es que hay toda una calle de puestos de comida cerca, con muchas opciones de snacks, lo que hace que sea muy conveniente para comer. No tienes que caminar muy lejos para tus tres comidas, lo cual es un punto a favor para quienes disfrutan de la comida callejera local.
En general, si valoras la comodidad para comer y no te importan mucho los desplazamientos, este lugar es una opción a considerar. Pero si dependes mucho del metro o prefieres un ambiente nocturno brillante y animado, quizás debas reconsiderarlo. Aun así, la relación calidad-precio en general es buena.

Serene Methias3~4 May 2026 - 4 Pax 1N Narci Resort Tam Coc. Hotel Manager Jenny sent me a WhatsApp message on 2nd May to welcome us and offered her assistance to arrange for private transport & local tour etc.. Am pleased with the extended service provided by the hotel staff. Since I've yet to find a private driver, she helped to arrange for 2-way transport, pick-up from Hanoi hotel > Narci Resort > Hanoi International Airport (reasonable fees). We arrived at Tam Coc around 1pm, dropped the luggage at the hotel & visited Bai Dinh Pagoda. Checked-in the hotel around 9pm. A modern & beautiful resort opened Feb 2026. To our surprise, our 3x Deluxe Garden Rooms were in different villas & all on level 2 without elevator. My mom age 80 were unhappy as she couldn't climb the stairs & my sisters age 60 & 67 were unhappy that we were separated by different villas. Fortunately, there are 2x Executive Garden Rooms on the ground floor were available but one of the room has smell. So, we decided to pay additional fee for upgrade of 1x Deluxe > 1x Executive + 1x FOC extra bed (3 pax), the other sister stayed the level 2 Deluxe Room. Hotel breakfast spread is good & food is delicious. Overall, we were very happy with the hotel rooms & staff service. Would suggest the hotel to state there is no elevator for Deluxe Garden Room (level 2), so that guests who are unable to climb the stairs will select either the ground floor Executive Garden Room or the Tower Standard Rooms with elevator.

The room I stayed in was good, clean and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent, being close to Bai Dinh Temple and the Trang An river tour, which made exploring very convenient. The property itself is wonderfully peaceful, surrounded by nature and perfect for relaxing away from busy areas. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout, always happy to help. There was also a very cute dog on-site, which added a lovely, homely touch. Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay that I would recommend.

El hotel nos mostró las habitaciones disponibles para que pudiéramos encontrar la mejor opción para nuestra familia numerosa, con dos habitaciones. También ampliaron el desayuno para un miembro más de la familia. Nimh Binh fue fantástico. También nos ayudaron a organizar nuestro viaje a la isla de Cat Ba, lo cual fue genial.

Vietnam es un país muy hermoso y con una gran riqueza cultural. Visitamos Hanoi, la bahía de Halong, Hoi An, Da Nang y Ninh Binh en un viaje de 11 días y 12 horas.
La hospitalidad, la recepción y la inmersión local fueron excepcionales en todos los lugares (excepto en Emeralda): la gente era amable y el personal del hotel era muy cortés.
El Emeralda Resort en Ninh Binh no fue una experiencia tan agradable, salvo por algunos miembros del personal experimentados. La gerente de alimentos y bebidas de Sen Restauran (desayuno pago por la mañana) se negó a atender el pedido de comida vegana y puré de frutas para un bebé de 7 meses. Dijo que la cocina estaba ocupada, que teníamos un grupo grande al que atender. Después de muchas explicaciones, logró conseguir un arroz frito (¡eso es todo!), pero se negó a pedir puré de frutas e insistió en que lo pagara.
El restaurante orgánico es bueno, un par de empleados allí (en su mayoría mujeres) fueron corteses. El encargado del bar de la piscina tuvo algunos problemas, ni siquiera respondió a los saludos.
Gracias a la Sra. Hung (gerente del restaurante), al Sr. Chung (recepción) y a otro gerente del restaurante Organic (no recuerdo su nombre) por hacer que nuestra estadía fuera llevadera y manejable. Tienen una propiedad maravillosa y habitaciones espaciosas; si el servicio hubiera estado a la par con el de los resorts de 4 y 5 estrellas, sería un lugar ideal para la tranquilidad.
Nota: el menú de comida vegana/vegetariana es limitado y no se permite comprar comida del exterior.

We had a wonderful stay over the Tet holiday. The hotel is located in downtown Tam Coc but just off a small side street, so little to no street noise from the main road.
The room was just as pictured, very spacious and welcoming. Kettle and fridge are provided. No tea or coffee in the room but available in the reception area. We had a mountain view and little balcony area where we could watch fireworks on Tet eve. Breakfast was made to order and there were many choices to pick from. We loved the omelette and baguette.
The service and hospitality of the owners was amazing. Even though they had may guests, we still felt cared for. We were able to do laundry with them, they rented a scooter to us for 3 days and provided a nice map of the area with notable landmarks. We highly recommend staying here if you visit Ninh Binh.
