We Found Vietnam’s Best Kept Beach Resort Secret: voco Quang Binh Review
Imagine a tranquil beachfront resort with powdery white sand, swaying palm trees, ocean breezes, and private plunge pool villas—completely free from massive tourist crowds. Welcome to voco Quang Binh in Dong Hoi, Vietnam! As slow travelers who explore the world entirely overland without flying, we have now stayed at this property three separate times. Located along the central coast, this resort quickly became one of our absolute favorite places in Southeast Asia and our go-to oasis to break up the long train journeys between Da Nang and Hanoi. 1:00 Why stop in Dong Hoi and the voco 1:47 The Food 2:55 Unexpected Upgrades! 3:14 Our Travel Chaos Video 3:30 Villa Tour 5:28 When We Stayed 5:52 New Resort ...
