Hi , we will stay at Vinpearl Resort in Ha Long Bay , can you pick us up at the hotel. Thanks
Answered by Mina | Nov. 19, 2022 03:17
Dear Luong Nguyen, Thank you for your email and question. Our shuttle bus only picks you up from Ha Noi Old Quater Area to Ha Long bay. You can book a taxi or ask Vinpearl Resort's receptionist to help you book a taxi from Vinperal Resort to Au Co cruise pier in Tuan Chau Marina. As I checked, it's around 12km from Vinpearl Resot to Au Co cruise pier. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Ms.Mina

Answered by Mary | Jul. 08, 2021 11:16
Dear Heidner, Thank you for contacting us. For your family, you can consider 2 connecting cabins or a cabin with an extra bed for your 5-year-old kid while the 2-year-old kid shares the same bed with parents.
