Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are all within easy reach of the hotel:

• Rạch Giá Floating Market: Just 15 minutes by taxi from Hasu, this working market offers an unfiltered look at Mekong delta life. Wake up early to join a early boat tour, where vendors sell everything from fresh tropical fruit to Mekong seafood cooked on the spot, directly from their wooden boats.
• Bà Chúa Xứ Temple: A 10-minute drive from the hotel, this iconic 19th-century riverside temple is one of the Mekong’s most sacred religious sites, dedicated to the Lady of the Realm. The ornate, gilded architecture and peaceful riverfront setting draw both pilgrims and curious visitors, offering insight into southern Vietnamese spiritual traditions.
• Hòn Tre Island: Accessible via a 45-minute ferry ride from Rạch Giá’s main port, this quiet, undeveloped island boasts empty golden-sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, and local coconut plantations. It’s perfect for a day of swimming, hiking, or relaxing far from the crowds of more popular Vietnamese island destinations.

Travel Tips

Vietnamese is the primary language spoken at the hotel, so downloading an offline translation app before arrival can help smooth any communication. Rạch Giá is the main departure point for ferries to Phú Quốc, so book Hasu for one night before or after your Phú Quốc trip to break up your journey. Always carry cash in Vietnamese đồng, as small local shops and markets rarely accept cards, and arrange your island day trips directly through the front desk for fair local pricing. Visit between December and April for dry, sunny weather ideal for outdoor exploration and boat trips.
