D'Lioro Hotel & Resort

D'Lioro Hotel & Resort is a 5-star hotel in Bai Chay, Ha Long, about 1.1 km from the town centre, with an infinity pool, spa facilities and rooms from 35 m² studios to 350 m² villas. It suits travellers who want space and a view: its suites have separate living rooms, and every room type has a balcony, air conditioning and free WiFi.

The range is built for families and groups. Family rooms are available, a kids' club runs on site, and the three villas take between 14 and 20 guests, with up to four children in each. The suites add a sofa bed in the living room, so a third guest has a bed without needing a separate room.

For a stay centred on the water and wellness, the property has an infinity swimming pool and an indoor pool, a sauna, a steam room, a fitness centre and a sun terrace among lush gardens. Vietnamese, Asian and international dishes are served across three restaurants and a bar, with vegetarian and vegan options. The setting in Bai Chay puts Sunworld and its cable car within about 1.3 km, which makes the hotel a practical base for a day out.

The rooms at D'Lioro Hotel & Resort run from a 35 m² double or twin room with a balcony up to 350 m² villas. Five room types, from 35 m² to 62 m², all have air conditioning and a private bathroom, although the studio's bathroom has a shower rather than a bath. They include a double room with a bath, a studio with a seating area, and three suites with a separate living room, which differ mainly in size, view and bed layout.

The three villas, each called Villa with Garden View, are the group option, with 300 to 350 m², seven to nine bedrooms and kitchens with a stovetop, refrigerator and dining table. Their views cover the gardens, the inner courtyard or the sea, depending on the villa. Guests can book one villa for a whole group rather than several rooms, and the suites offer a smaller version of the same flexibility with a sofa bed in the living room.

Dining is a strength of the property. Three restaurants, a coffee house, a snack bar and a bar sit on site, and breakfast is served as a buffet. The restaurant is family-friendly, with a kid-friendly buffet, and its menu covers Vietnamese, Asian and international cuisine with vegetarian and vegan options.

The leisure and wellness offer is broad. Guests can use the spa and wellness centre, the fitness centre, the sauna and the hot tub, and book a full body massage. For a relaxed day outdoors there is a sun terrace, a garden, a picnic area and bicycle rental, while family rooms and a kids' club suit younger guests.

Practical services include a 24-hour front desk, a tour desk, concierge service, room service and a lift. Free private parking is available on site and does not need a reservation.

D'Lioro Hotel & Resort is in Bai Chay, the main tourist district on the west bank of Ha Long, where the beach, Sunworld and the night market are concentrated. The district holds most of the tourist services, so restaurants, shops and transport are close to the hotel. The Chợ Vườn Đào market is 500 m away, and the Đền Cái Lân cũ temple is 1.1 km away. Across the Bai Chay bridge, Hon Gai is the older city centre on the east bank, and the Nhà thờ Hòn Gai church is 3.2 km from the property.

The Ga Đại Dương cable car station is 1 km away, the Ga Mặt Trời cable car station 1.9 km and Sunworld 1.3 km. The Halong International Cruise Port is 1.2 km away, the Cái Lân train station 1.6 km and the Old Hon Gai Ferry Terminal 1.5 km from the hotel. Hanoi is about 2.5 hours away by expressway.

For a walk, the Zen Garden is 2.1 km from the hotel, the Công viên Vinhomes Dragon Bay 2.4 km away and Lan Be Park 3.8 km. The Cái Dăm Market is 3.4 km away, and the Quang Ninh Museum, which covers the history of the province, is 4.8 km. Most visitors come to Ha Long for a boat trip on the bay, and the Halong International Cruise Port, 1.2 km away, is one of the closest places to start one. Sunworld and the cable car station are the nearest big attractions, while the Zen Garden offers a quieter contrast.
