We went to Vietnam after Sri Lanka with caution, and even read the reviews. What is scary at first is the traffic: a sea of bikers following their own rules and a transfer bus driving to the hotel at an average speed of 29 km/h and that's 7 hours.
I really liked the hotel - literally an island where the locals behave with dignity. Incredible splendor of nature, gorgeous climate, and super ocean. In front of the hotel there is a reef and it seems impossible to swim - the locals swam - once for sure.
