"What a beautiful hotel in the Mekong Delta! This hotel is truly wonderful, the setting (on a private island reached by private speed boat) is beyond beautiful, and you immediately feel calm and relaxed in the tranquillity of the surroundings while only being a quick boat ride away from the hustle and bustle of Can Tho. The rooms, pool, gym and restaurant were all amazing and the staff were beyond helpful (even recommending local companies for tours including the famous floating markets!). We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for luxury and tranquillity in Can Tho."
