For those romantic escapes, Vietnam is the picture perfect destination. The most amazing thing about the place is its beauty and the way it fits each and every budget. I was overwhelmed with the hospitality and the way we were pampered during our stay at the Hotel Hanoi Joy. We availed with their Traditional Sailing Halong Tour for 3Days and 2Nights http://www.hanoijoyhotel.com/viewaboutuscat-3983-Tours.html. We explored the limestone islands and emerald green waters of UNESCO world heritage listed Halong Bay. I strongly recommend you to savor the best cuisine on board and go kayaking to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the bay.

Back to work after a laidback holiday in the beautiful Vietnam. I just love that place. Beautiful islands, Halong Bay and my stay at the Hotel Hanoi Joy made the stay memorable. You can cruise in a luxury boat and visit the romantic islands, go swimming or boating or even enjoy the marine life at prices as low as US $110.
