Nice staff, dated hotel.
Posted 27 Oct 2019 on HotelsAmazing staff, great location.
But:
Was not good value for money, compared to other Vietnam hotels. Very dated hotel, in need of update. A lot of trash around gardens.
The food was very average.
General style and decor of resort a bit barren and dated.
Inadequate English of many staff (other than duty manager who was excellent). When I called ahead, the receptionist spoke inadequate English to guide me to how to get to the hotel. We did a cooking course that was o.k., but again minimal English so didn’t learn anything and not much of an ‘experience’.
Would recommend if half the price, but at current price point there are wayyyyy better places in Mekong.

Quiet location on the Mekong River
Posted 15 Dec 2017
Pros: The peaceful location.
Cons: The food in the restaurant.
Location: Mekong river - floating markets, islands.
We were here in the off season. There were only a few huts occupied, so the area was peaceful and serene.
We loved sleeping under the mosquito net, which was romantic, albeit really necessary as the air outside the hut was probably teeming with insects.
The food in the restaurant was disappointing, except for the breakfast. Lunch and dinner seemed to be very ordinary and over priced for what was offered. The resort is quite a way from other restaurants, although transport was available to take guests to other venues.
The services offered in the spa were excellent - especially the full body massage (which was conducted in an open air pavilion surrounded by lotus covered ponds - a bit disconcerting at first, but towels were draped over the body at all times, so modesty was preserved).
The resort organised a 3 hour dawn cruise of the floating markets. The resort launch was set up for the two of us to breakfast while we pottered around the Mekong. The highlight of the tour was being rowed around the islands of the Mekong in the peaceful morning calm.

A beautiful garden to relax
Posted 25 Jan 2016 on HotelsA small road in a beautiful tropical forest led us to the gate of the resort. Inside we found ponds, trees, bushes rich with flowers on our way to the reception. We got the warmest welcome, and a very detailed explanation of the resort services. We were escorted to an overwater bongallow overlooking the river. The room was of good size, the bed complete with mosquito net. The shower room has a glass wall which is also river facing, the glass is seethrough above shoulder height, so a great view of the river can be enjoyed while having a shower. From the room you can step out to your small private balcony. The river is busy with cargo ships, I loved to watch them sipping my coffee. After having seen all this we immediately decided to extend our stay with one more night. The resort also has a lovely pool surrounded with palm trees, and two overwater bungallows in a wonderful lake where foot and body massage is offered. There is a riverside restaurant as well, with nice food and a great breakfast.
I can definitely recommend this resort, it's unique, beautiful, friendly. I hope I'll get the chance to visit it again.

Beautiful setting away from the crowds
Posted 15 Nov 2015Beautiful setting for a hotel among the Mekong delta waterways. You can hire a bike and cycle around the surrounding area, the gardens are amazing and they grow their own vegetables.

Surreal Beauty
Posted 6 Oct 2015 on HotelsThe staff were very accommodating and most spoke a reasonable amount of English, which was helpful.
Our room, though very small/compact was comfortable. It only lacked a closet and/or surface space for our bags. The only information that was incorrect was the amenity of a kitchen in the room, when in fact it only had a small compact fridge.
The views were amazing, the food was excellent and not terribly overpriced.
Their pool was lovely and the opportunity to use (free) bicycles was a great bonus to get into town (which would have otherwise been a long walk).
Overall, the views could not be beat and we had a very enjoyable stay!

Great spot, horrible food, fungus smell
Posted 18 Jun 2015 on HotelsThis hotel is located in beautiful spot next to the Mekong Rooms. Rooms are nicely designed. The swimming pool is great / Problems: Our room had not been used in a very long time and intensely smelled like fungus ; The second issue is the food. This hotel has a Soviet-style era menu with a thousand options with all food being mediocre and outrageously overpriced. Very much not recommended to eat anything at this hotel
