• Paradise Cave: Located 20 minutes from the hotel, this 31-kilometer cave system boasts one of the longest dry cave corridors in the world, with towering limestone walls draped in otherworldly stalactites and stalagmites that are easy to explore on a well-maintained boardwalk.

Travel Tips

Book cave tours at least 24 to 48 hours in advance, as permits for popular caves like Son Doong and Oxalis sell out months ahead during peak season (April to August). Bring sturdy, water-resistant hiking shoes for cave explorations, and pack layers for the cool, constant temperature inside underground caverns. The hotel can arrange public transport tickets and airport transfers in advance – contact the front desk before your arrival to book these services. For the best rates on activities, ask the multilingual front desk staff for their recommended local partners, as they often offer exclusive discounts for hotel guests.
