Local Attractions

Three can’t-miss spots within 30 minutes of the hotel include:

• Con Phung Island (Cồn Phụng): A quiet coconut-covered island 12km from downtown Ben Tre, famous for its artisan coconut candy workshops, traditional folk boat rides through mangrove canals, and the unique Cao Dai temple with vibrant mosaic architecture. Many visitors stop for a fresh coconut lunch at a riverside homestay here.
• Ben Tre Floating Market: Experience authentic Mekong Delta life at this early morning floating market, where vendors sell tropical fruits, local snacks, and handcrafts directly from their wooden boats. Arrive by 7am to catch the market at its busiest.
• Vinh Sang Ecotourism Park: A 20-minute drive from the hotel, this lush park offers cycling trails through coconut groves, kayaking through mangrove swamps, and the chance to watch traditional bee farming and honey harvesting demonstrations. It’s perfect for a full day of outdoor family fun.

Travel Tips

Book your room in advance during peak dry season (December to February), when Mekong Delta tourism is at its busiest. If you’re planning day trips around the delta, ask the concierge to arrange a licensed boat tour – they can secure fair prices and avoid common tourist scams. Don’t leave without trying the hotel’s local Mekong seafood dishes in the on-site restaurant, which source fresh catches directly from local river vendors. For drivers, the free on-site parking is a rare perk in central Ben Tre, making it easy to explore the surrounding region at your own pace.
