Guan Yin Temple Tours

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.
