To start the property was a gem of a place, it was truly a rustic yet sophisticated homestay. Beautifully decorated for Tet and surrounded by trees and gardens, it was a really relaxing and comfortable place to unwind. We had stayed in a bungalow, which had everything you needed, mosquito net, aircon, comfortable beds, and a very rustic and cool bathroom/shower area. The bungalow came with a small porch out front, which was nice to hang out and have a drink, either in the morning or evening. The staff was really attentive and exceeded our expectations, and the host was welcoming with a great personality. She helped organize a tour for us that ended up being a highlight of the trip. Ask for Nhan Dinh, one of the best tour guides I've had in a while, really attentive and spoke really good English. Was eager to answer a million questions we had, and was just a great guy to spend the day with, he felt more like a friend than a tour guide. The homestay was also a short bike ride to the end of the island where you can watch an amazing sunset, make sure to bring a headlamp for the ride back! We managed to ride our bikes back, but some areas were really dark, had to use our phone's flashlight. This was our first time exploring the Mekong River area and the homestay really provided an exceptional experience.
Set among lush tropical fruit gardens, Mekong Riverside Boutique Resort & Spa offers free Wi-Fi and an outdoor swimming pool. The property is 0.9 mi from the Cai Be Floating Market.

Very “niche-type” of resort, not catering to mass traveler looking for holiday in the sun. The Mekong Delta offers fabulous experiences, including boat trips, kayaking, hiking, etc, but all of that is for a special type of sophisticated traveler.
Providing free bicycle rentals, Mekong Lodge is a charming nature getaway surrounded by gardens and the Tien River. Free 2-way transfers from Cai Be Tourist Pier are included.

Great oasis in the middle of the mekong delta. They keep it very beautiful. The pool was great. To get to it you can take the very cheap public ferry that leaves every hour from Cai Be
Cool town on Mekong river with peaceful views and friendly...
Cool town on Mekong river with peaceful views and friendly people. There are so many activities to do like visiting fruit plantation, sitting on boat along a narrow channel with 2 green along the way. I like the most seeing sunrise at Bo Song Quan coffee and Huong Quan food is great!!

Not a huge amount to do in this area.
Not a huge amount to do in this area. It’s a great getaway to relax and unwind in a resort.
To get there from HCM I would use a bus company to the tourist port.
You can cycle around but there isn’t a huge amount to see.
Not lots of choice of places to eat outside the hotel.
Lots of rubbish sadly, would be great to see some conservation projects or community clearing projects to help with this.
The property is very well laid out with duplex units on the river, lake or garden. All very nice. The bath is spacious and the little deck nice to enjoy the views. The pool is large although too shallow on one side. Great for the toddlers. The breakfast is good if it’s the buffet but if you order by menu just so so. Restaurant serves nicely prepared dishes at resort prices. Thr staff as usual in Vietnam is eager to help. We arrived by rented scooter and had some trouble with it. Three guys were omit and had the problem
fixed in a jiffy.
Amazing experience staying in Cai Be at Sao Mai Hotel. Vu and his family really take care of you here. When you stay here you will be fed delicious home made meals and have the opportunity to speak with Vu and his family, getting a better understanding of Vietnam and the Mekong region. They will help you with everything in your stay whether it be food, tours, bus tickets and onward travel! Room was very comfortable with hot water and AC. Thank you for everything!
This was the best accommodation we’ve had, hands down. The food was EXCEPTIONAL, the garden beautiful & peaceful and our hosts were warm and welcoming.
Our river tour with Nhi was an absolute highlight - we saw and experienced so much.
Yes it’s rustic and doesn’t have all of the comforts of a city hotel, but that’s the point!
It was the only time we felt that we truly got away from the tourist traps and experienced the real Vietnam.
A very clean and spacious house, with a comfortable outside area in a very nice , leafy part of Cai Be, we did very nice walks through narrow paths off the main street, tiny canals in people’s gardens, an unexpected school in the middle of maize of small paths, one feels that the jungle starts just behind this part of the city. There is also a very neat restaurant with AC room next door.
The location is very special, with large gardens and grounds right on the river you couldn’t ask for a more ideal setting. The pool area is lovely and the staff were very helpful. The hotel manager Duy personally took care of us - he helped book our bus to the next destination, expertly administered first aid when we needed it, and gave us some interesting facts about the Mekong.
Vu is an amazing host. He welcomed us with open arms after being on the road all day. Vu's place is filled with great energy as he loves to welcome people into his hotel. We only stayed a night but thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
Vu's family cooked us a lovely meal and we were greeted with a cold beer. I highly recommend staying here.
The hosts were excellent, they really made us feel welcome and took us on serval tours of the local area including a river trip that was spectacular! The facilities at the hotel were also excellent for the low price. They also offer free use of the hosts push bikes to explore the area with which was very useful.
Lovely if slightly rustic hotel on the Mekong Delta. Food was really delicious, much better than some previous reviews suggested. Great tours, free bike hire appreciated. Seamless communication with booking.com taxis regarding pick up and drop off (as have to access from a boat). Overall great relaxing time.
I adored this little place by the river! Very homey vibes and way bigger than expected. There's a kitchen, a bathtub, two beds, a sofa and armchairs to relax and read. Bicycles also available to move around Cai Be town. Having breakfast with the boats passing by is priceless, I will definitely be back!
Our room was a standalone bungalow(Delux), very specious and inviting. The pool is one of the largest hotel pool I have ever seen (28m), the location beside the Mekong river and close to Cat Bai town is great and bike are available for free to cycle around which we did for two consecutive days.
This spacious property is exactly like the photos and very thoughtfully designed. The owners were incredibly helpful on check-in, check-out, and with any questions we had, including organising the bus to leave Caí Be. They also adapted the breakfast for our diet at the last minute.
Location is great, although Cai Be might not the best place to experience the Mekong Delta. Tourguide Thom is great! Staff, although not great at English, is supportive and comes mainly from local town. Philosophy of the Lodge is good. Mekong river views are stunning with sunset!
Our favourite hotel in the Mekong Delta. The place is brilliant the staff are lovely. The pool is the highlight.
We've been coming here for years. Hopefully they will pick up just as well as they did before Covid.
During the days in Cai be, we had the chance to discover the city thanks to Vuvu. He helps us with everything (bus, activities…). It’s was not only an hotel but a experience in the Vuvu’s family.
Mister Vu was so helpful right from the booking of the hotel to checking out. He showed us his village and gave us a great tour of the surrounding area. Everything was really great!! Thanks Vu!
The rooms were nice. The food at the hotel restaurant was decent. The pool needed to be cleaned. The spa was closed though that was not advertised until we were at the hotel.
