If I could give this place above 10 I would. Probably one of most amazing places I've experienced. Every staff member no matter what department goes out of their way to treat guests to the highest standard. The setting was tranquil, almost spiritual and laid-back, you can press the reset button if life is fast paced back home and bin the technology if that's your desire. If you want to take a few days out and relax while in Vietnam this is your place, listening to nature while doing yoga or meditating at the foot of Yen Tu mountain is something that will stay with me.

Truly a stunning hotel; I’ve rarely seen a place that feels so perfect inside. Absolutely outstanding. Even if the rooms were three times the price, it would still be worth it. However, it's quite remote, so I wouldn't recommend staying too long as it might get a bit dull. Two days is ideal, with a third day at most. I suggest using your full day to hike the nearby mountain, which is an incredible experience with breathtaking views. The staff is very friendly, although their English isn't great—though that might not matter to everyone. The food is decent, but the real draw here is the beautiful location and the exceptionally well-designed hotel.

The food isn’t fantastic, but the hotel’s price-to-quality ratio is so good that I hardly consider it a major drawback. There are plenty of options on the menu, and some dishes are genuinely tasty. If you follow my advice and don’t stay too many days, there’s definitely enough variety to enjoy. I did find it disappointing that there was no staff to supervise the kids' club, so I had to stay with my kids the whole time. At many other hotels, there’s someone there, allowing you to relax with a drink by the pool for example. But despite this, I still think the hotel is fantastic.

The hotel is not anything we’ve seen before ( and we travel a lot) The area was re-built for the purpose of this hotel close to Yen-Tu mountain where you can have incredible 5-6h walk 10000 steps to see Buddha statue at the top of the mountain and smaller temples on the way. Altogether we loved the stay and the experience. To make it short: 1. It’s truly beautiful very spacious hotel with hand made interiors designed and made in traditional Vietnamese methods with fabrics on the walls, leather and marble in the lobby and rooms. Also amazing garden and swimming pools outside. 2. The food is good for Vietnam, delicious samosas in the bar. 3. There are interesting activities every day, like yoga, breathing rituals, etc. 4. It’s great if you have a good weather to swim in the pool. It was 17 degrees when we went there but still we went for a quick swim. 5. The rooms are beautiful, quiet and spacious. 6. The grounds are large and you can go to the village / market in the evening with life entertainment in Vietnamese and you can ride a horse too. 7. We absolutely loved climb up 10000 steps up to the mountain to see golden Buddha statue. Kids enjoyed it too ! It was very picturesque walk and if you are less sporty you can take a lift instead. 8. The hotel was to clean. 9. The staff was extremely polite including receptionists and staff in the lobby. 10. It was roughly around 1.5h from HaLong if I remember correctly. 11. There is a small gym too.

As soon as I walked in I was mezmorised by the beauty and magic of this place. They upgraded me to a king bed room for my birthday and sent me a gorgeous chocolate mousse. It was such a nice touch as I was alone celebrating. the room features are gorgeous, the views the music, the design. all is just peaceful, timeless beauty. Hoang Anh at the bar, Le at the front desk and Anh at the meditation course. All 3 I remember their name as I had long conversation and brilliant personalised assistance (a front desk lady was also at breakfast and had a great personalised service). I went to the pool and the attendant was great. but later at night no attendant for towels though. I loved it all though and so close to the sacred mountain. Thank you for such a special stay!! I will recommend this place to everyone in need of relaxation and recentering.

This property caters to two distinct groups of guests. First, it’s perfect for those, particularly Asians, looking for a picturesque setting for photoshoots, as the hotel’s design is stunning and reminiscent of a temple. Second, it’s ideal for anyone seeking a retreat experience. The rooms offer a perfect escape, allowing you to disconnect from the world, while the soothing music in the corridors and the surrounding natural beauty create a peaceful atmosphere. The yoga and meditation classes led by Hắng were truly exceptional—unlike anything I’ve experienced before. They helped me slow down, embrace gentleness, and connect more deeply with myself and the world around me.

Amazing hotel near 10 000 steps climb to see the golden Buddha. Unforgettable experience with beautiful interiors, hand made wall fabrics done in traditional way, marble bathrooms and beautiful restaurant and bar. Must stay on the way to Cat Ba island or Ha Long Bay. Delicious samosas and burgers in the bar. Enjoyable yoga and beautiful swimming pool.

Meat was chewy in the restaurant, but it is in most places in Vietnam.

The most feeling during my stay is còmfortable and relaxed. I especially send my thankyou to the Yoga and Zen master Hải Hằng for her exciting and helpful sessions.

It would be better if the Phoenix head is not set up for decoration over the window of the WC. Maybe there are different ideas, visions.... but in my opinion, I think it is a noble sign and worth being put in another places other than that area (check the Room 122 for that setup). Best regards.

Everything. The food, the friendly staff, the facilities, the beautiful surrounding nature and hot stone massage. Everything was at the highest quality. Legacy Yen Tu is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in in my life.

Even thought it was perhaps the most beautiful swimming pool I've ever swam in, it was unfortunately not heated, so it was quite unpleasant to enter during the less warm days.

This is indeed an exceptional place ! We highly recommend it. We have enjoyed our time there, first with a warm welcoming from the entire team who was very helpful during our stay. They shared many advice around activities as well as to hike the mountain. In the hotel, Everything is made in order to make us feel comfortable, and it works ! (shuttles or bike available, on site activities and food) The activites in the hotel are amazing, we loved the yoga class and in this place it felt really special. The massages were great as well ! Most importantly, the restaurant was one of the best we had in Vietnam. We were impressed by the breakfast and high quality of pastries, there was a large choice and allergen were detailed, we really appreciated it. You absolutely have to try their local Apricot wine : Marvellous !! We loved the bar and the cocktails they made, everything is well thought. As the hotel is far from Hanoi, the hotel organized the transport for us and it was very convenient.

We absolutely loved everything in Yen Tu. It is not a super touristic area, so you get to relax and explore the beautiful nature and culture. The hotel is stunning, gorgeous grounds, and one of the most beautiful hotel rooms I have ever been to. The staff was quite friendly and ready to help. The breakfast is absolutely wonderful. We had dinner two nights and it was delicious. The spa is beautiful!

Very little. The only issues we had were relating to the laundry service - which was absolutely a robbery in terms of price, and they damaged a garment. But the staff was quick to compensate us for the issue. The spa is also extremely expensive and didn't have the cold plunge therapy we wanted.
