Can Tho Municipality Vacations & Trips from $1,670

A truly unique and authentic way to experience life in the Mekong Delta. Vinh and his family were incredibly welcoming and cooked delicious food for breakfast and dinner. The boat tour organised for us was truly off the beaten track and was a true highlight of our time in Vietnam. I would recommend this homestay to anyone looking to find an authentic experience of Vietnam. Obviously visiting somewhere this remote you have to be prepared that you will be leaving some of your western comforts behind, but the homestay itself is well equiped and clean. It was an amazing adventure.

We enjoyed our stay in the country side. The property is simple and relaxing. We spend three nights here. There is one restaurant on site, and the owner was very kind. She would asked us what time we want breakfast. and if you have preference, let her know. they would do their best to accommodate. their english was limited but with the help of google translate, we manage to have friendly conversation. Once during our chat, I showed her a picture of a dish, and mentioned that was my favorite vietnamese snack. and she told me that she would make it for me for breakfast. What a wonderful surprise. There are bikes for us to use. and since I do not know how to ride moped, that is my primary transportation. We explore the island. The locals are extremely friendly. My only complaint is that the wardrobe didn't work. the drawer fall apart the minute I pulled it open. There are also a couple of things that are beyond the control of the owners. 1) noise level - due to the proximity to the market, sometimes we can hear loud music as early as 6 am. 2) electricity was cut on our last day due to the village construction. i read the other review and came prepared with ear plug, we managed just fine. I will come back and visit Hue and Tam.

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.
