Top Local Attractions

Three must-visit spots are all within a 30-minute drive of the hotel:

• Cai Rang Floating Market: 20 minutes from the hotel, this is the Mekong Delta’s most famous floating market, where vendors sell everything from fresh tropical fruit to hot noodle breakfasts from wooden boats. Book a early morning tour to see the market at its busiest, before the midday heat sets in.
• Ninh Kieu Waterfront Park: A 10-minute taxi ride from the hotel, this leafy riverfront promenade is perfect for an evening stroll. Watch sunsets over the Mekong, sample street food from local vendors, and take photos of the iconic Can Tho Bridge.
• Phong Dien Floating Market: A quieter alternative to Cai Rang, this less touristy floating market sits 30 minutes from the hotel. It offers a more authentic look at local delta life, with smaller vendors and fewer crowds.

Travel Tips

Book a river tour directly through the hotel’s concierge desk for a hassle-free experience, as they can arrange licensed guides and reliable boats that pick up directly from the hotel entrance. If you’re visiting during the rainy season (May to November), pack waterproof shoes and a lightweight rain jacket, even for day trips. Don’t miss the hotel’s weekly live music nights and happy hour at the pool bar—they’re a great way to unwind after a day exploring the delta. For guests driving from Ho Chi Minh City, the free on-site parking makes overnight stays completely stress-free.
