Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh

We had a one night stay at this luxurious resort. Beautifully located by the water with stunning views at sunset. Amenities like the pool and the gym were great. The breakfast buffet was spectacular and probably top 1% in terms of quality, freshness, variety and service. Staff were extremely kind, courteous and attentive to all our needs. It’s a perfect place to stay to explore Ninh Binh area. Would recommend and come back.

We had a wonderful week in Ninh Binh staying at Emeralda Resort. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and quiet with a full bath as well as separate shower. The facilities are excellent with pools for all weather conditions. The service was very attentive and the staff very kind and helpful. The location is a bit out of the way (15km from Ninh Binh) but that’s because the resort is so large and includes so many facilities. It’s very easy to organise transportation and tours from the front desk, so you can see all the beautiful sights of Ninh Binh. We had a relaxing time and recharged.

Nice place but dirty in places. E.g. the shower and we had rats & rat droppings outside our room. Breakfast restaurant in particular is beautiful. The whole resort is very nicely designed. It’s nice to have free access to billiards and mini golf. The gym and pool were both nice. It’s a shame nothing is open past 10pm. We would have liked to have continued to have a drink in the bar.

Loved my stay here, I originally booked 3 nights and ended up adding another 2. The resort was beautiful, very quiet and relaxing, the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing, a good range and I was happy to have a majority of my meals here, i always had something different and it was always delicious, also as a coeliac they were very happy to help out with choices and they remembered to give me gluten-free bread which was tasty. Also the spa was great, definitely my favourite and it was all very reasonably priced. Room was lovely, clean and spacious and even though it is a big resort it was never too far too walk around plus they had buggys to pick you up if you wanted. There was an indoor heated pool aswell which i used when the weather was cooler. There is plenty to do inside the resort with pool tables etc and plenty of comfy areas to sit and relax. The staff are always happy to help arrange whatever you may need. Would happily stay again.

We have stayed four nights at the Emeralda Resort Ninh Binh With our son and his family and cannot speak highly enough of our day. The resort was built 15 years ago to a very high standard which has been maintained using traditional materials and the gardens are kept beautifully. The rooms are spacious, well designed very well equipped and comfortable. The restaurants have a wide range of choice and the food has been delicious and we have especially enjoyed the Vietnam cuisine. We have had three excursions accompanied by our guide Thong who has provided us with a memorable holiday. We have had busy days visiting temples pagoda bear sanctuary primate rescue Centre, A jungle walk in a national park a bike ride and two boat rides as well as eating in a local home stay. Thong was so attentive and catered for all our needs and showed remarkable photographic skills too. So much to do both on the trips and at the resort and we go home happy but sad to leave. More than anything, the staff have been so friendly, helpful and attentive.

This place is beautiful and has the most amazing breakfast offerings I’ve ever seen!! The only thing that was a little confusing was the booking; there are two locations so be sure to pick which one you want (here/Ninh Bihn or in Tam Coc, which is more central to restaurants/shops/etc). While this location was about 30 minutes away from Tam Coc, it offered a remote, calm energy which was nice too. We rented bikes from the property and biked around nearby Van Long Nature Reserve. Overall, great rooms and gorgeous property. Can’t go wrong with either location.

Thong Tran took us on an incredible tour of the pagodas and temples. He was a very gracious guide. One of the best experiences of my life. The hotel was elegant and the grounds very beautiful. Our all around service was amazing. We had a very nice spa experience as well. The girls took very good care of my wife and myself. If you are ever in Ninh Binh Vietnam, this is a must stay hotel. I couldn’t imagine it being any better

The highlight of the resort was the guided tour we did with Mr.Thong (tour #3). At face value, the tour price seemed steep relative to typical Vietnam prices however the value was got of the tour was immense and definitely worth it! All the entrance fees/lunch were included. Thon was an excellent guide with great knowledge about the areas we were visiting. He also came with amazing photography skills (so many great panomoras!) Our driver for the day, Phonz was also prompt with opening doors and safely getting us around. We were only here for 1 full day but would have definitely done more tours with them. Would highly recommend the tours!
