You should have a look at some of the resorts in Hoi An, the Furama also on China Beach, there are a number there like Life Resort (good spa) and theres lots to see culturally and the food is great. Obviously depends on your budget but there is the very upmarket Eveson Hideaway in Nha Trang where you'll get very pampered
The Life Resort Hoi An hotel would be a very romantic place to stay. (There are also less expensive options, several of which are enthusiastically reviewed.)
The town itself is beautiful, with much to see and several good restaurants (two of them in the Life Resort itself). Plus Hoi An is close to a nice beach.
Nha Trang is wonderful! It has a great beach and your husband could try scuba diving if he's into sport, there's many schools. There's one diving school, which I recommend, based at 'Crazy Kim's' bar which is a fantastic bar which finances a school for the street children. There's also a very famous natural hot spring baths where I also had one of the best Thai massages and greatly recommend. There's two wonderful ancient temples in town on the cultural side. to visit. There's lots of wonderful restaurants or you can have lobster cooked in front of you on the beach. It is an amazing town. I also highly recommend Ho Chi Min City (formerly Saigon) which is a beautiful city. I wasn't over enamoured with Hanoi, although it has a beautiful lake and a couple of good museums and of course Ho Chi Min's mausoleum.
Another option: Phu Quoc Island. Phu Quoc does not have as many touristic facilities as mainland's towns and cities do but it has a wonderful wild nature. When we were there, we could see many couples enjoying their honey moon in the island. Some resorts have their own beach. Tourists could play volley ball on beach. There are bungalows which are so nice for couples. Riding motorbikes through the national park is also fantastic. We hired a boat (just us) and the boat took us around little ilands. It now and then stopped some places where the tour guide told us what we could do such as fishing, snorkling. One of the things I liked best is that lying on the beach in the shade of palm trees growing along the baech. Breeze and sounds of sea waves gave me a wonderfulfeeling. I also loved the food they served during the trip. Actually it was the fish which we fished during the tour and they were all freshly cooked righton a beach of one of the islet. So we ate what we caught. How interesting it was. At night time, we still could use the pool and after that went for a walk along the beach. How surprising it was whenI thought there would be nobody on the bach at the time of the night but it was not true. There were many couples still around on the beach. We accidently walked to close to a couple who were having their romatic time on the beach. We just had to quickly and quietly changed our direction.
I wish you have a great honeymoon in the place you choose.
The main attraction in Mai Chau (apart from the scenery) is being able to stay in traditional housing, browsing/buying weaving and doing a bit of trekking in thesurrounds. Most of the trekking is of the full day variety rather than longer, multi-day trips and as far as I know, you are required to take a guide. I'm sure you'd be able to arrange a one-on-one trip though (you and the guide).
As for motorbike hire, I'm not sure. If there's not places explicitly hiring bikes out you may be able to come to some kind of informal arrangement once you're there. The other option is just to hire the bike in Hanoi and ride there yourself -- it's not all that far.
