TL;DR
Hon Tam island has salty, buoyant water that's easy to swim in plus activities; Doc Let beach has turquoise warm water and white sand; mineral hot spring pools are warmer than the sea but all shallow.
Doc Let and Hon Tam feel different: Doc Let has turquoise, warm water and white sand. Hon Tam is cozier, water is good too, and there are activities on site.
At Hon Tam island the sea is noticeably saltier and stronger than, say, near Costabella beach — it's easy to swim, the water almost holds you up on its own.
At hot mineral spring pool complexes the water is warmer than the sea, with both regular and hot pools available, but all of them are shallow.
