Hoa Lu Ancient Capital Tours and Activities

Out of everywhere we stayed during our two-week trip around Vietnam, Happy Tam Coc Ecolodge was hands down the best. The property is stunning—surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush greenery, it feels peaceful and secluded, yet still super close to everything. Bich Dong Pagoda is just a five-minute walk away, and most tourist spots are only a short scooter ride. What really made the stay special was Lily. She was so kind and helpful the entire time—genuinely one of the nicest hosts I’ve met. You can tell she truly cares about making sure guests have a great experience. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and breakfast was made to order every morning (and really tasty!). We also rented a scooter directly from the ecolodge, which made exploring the area super easy. If you’re heading to Ninh Binh, I can’t recommend this place enough. It was the highlight stay of my whole trip.

staff friendly,good location and cleanliness

Wonderful stay in this resort. We spent only one night but everything was awesome. The room is huge and beautiful. The staff is super friendly and highly efficient to help you optimize your stay in the region. You can borrow a bike for free. Restaurant is excellent. On the day of departure, we had to take a train at night and they offered us to come back to the hotel after our visits and stay by the pool and have dinner at the restaurant before taxi to the train station. Very greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this place!
