This homestay near the dock in Bai Lang is a very good choice. Spacious rooms, with private bathrooms and breezy shared balconies, are clean and well looked after. The friendly English-speaking owner, Mrs Linh, can arrange boat and snorkelling trips (around 700,000d), and also a xe om driver to ride you around the island (around two hours, 200,000d).
Evening meals and seafood barbecues can also be arranged (the food is good).
