Local Attractions

Just a 20-minute drive from the hotel, Tràm Chim National Park is one of the Mekong Delta’s top wetland conservation sites, home to the rare and endemic sarus crane. Visitors can take guided boat tours through flooded reed forests to spot migratory birds, local wildlife, and traditional floating rice farms.

For a dose of cultural history, visit the Gáo Giồng Coconut Museum, 30 minutes from the hotel. This open-air museum celebrates Đồng Tháp’s centuries-old coconut farming heritage, with exhibits on traditional coconut processing, handicraft demonstrations, and tastings of local coconut candy and coconut wine.

Don’t miss a sunset boat tour along the Tiền River, which departs from a landing 15 minutes from the property. Glide past stilt houses, water coconut groves, and floating markets, and stop to sample fresh Mekong tropical fruit from local vendors.

Travel Tips

Book in advance during the dry season (December to May), when delta tourism peaks, and note that kitchens are only available in the hotel’s larger villa and family room options. If you plan to bring your pet, notify the front desk at the time of booking to confirm availability. Bring insect repellent for early morning and evening visits to nearby wetlands, and wear lightweight, breathable clothing to handle the delta’s warm, humid climate. The hotel’s rental car service can arrange a driver for day trips, or you can hire a local motorbike taxi for shorter trips around nearby villages for a more authentic experience.
