We booked our Mekong Delta tour through INTREPID and they were excellent. Our tour guide was Huong, and we seriously recommend asking for her as your guide. She was very informative, her english was excellent and you can tell she really strives to excell at her job. As our tour was coming to an end she even wrote down for us some hotel recommendations for our next stop and gave us some great advice for the rest of our travels - she went well beyond what her role should be. She made the trip worth while.

I can't say anything bad about this place, we loved every minute of our 2 night stay here. We travelled around Vietnam in our 2.5 weeks there but this was our highlight and we felt our most real and local vietnamese experience. We got picked up and it was an easy drive to the boat, where after a quick trip you arrive at the resort. The photos don't do it justice, it's a beautiful resort. The gardens are gorgeous with fresh fruit & vegies growing everywhere you look. The accomodation is simple but very clean and nicely laid out. The only two things i'd suggest are a fridge as it's nice to have cold bottled water or grab a beer without having to walk all the way to the kitchen and a colder pool, it was hot the whole time we were there until the last day, and as it's stinking hot it would of been nice to have a refreshing dip, but ...that didn't ruin our experience at all. We were so lucky to have the lovely and humble Mr Khoa as our guide. He was truly awesome and our favourite person we met. I think we might of gone of the program a little to have a bit more of a local experience and it was great, we went bike riding through pretty scenery, drank rice wine with the locals, popped into a school and the kids just love westerners.... saw some local factories which under normal circumstances i would find a bit boring but it wasn't in the slightest. I loved the markets and would of liked a little longer to wander around and the floating markets were really interesting. I thought it might be a little to busy but it wasn't, we got to have a quick nap after lunch on both days which refreshed you for the afternoon bike riding and boat rides. Be warned - it's super hot..!!! Mr Khoa looked after us extremely well, and giving us interesting info on the mekong...We saw some tour groups come for lunch but staying there is so much better, definitely recommend the 2 night stay. If i were ever to come back to vietnam i'd visit again and try the junk out ...as they have a boat you can stay on in peak season.

The Mekong Lodge has it all: An absolutely unique setting along the banks of the Mekong River, a sustainable business model (employing locals from nearby villages and sourcing all food locally), very well-taken care off bungalows, interesting excursions and superb food. My wife and I staid here for two nights and could have staid longer for sure. We got the whole package deal which meant being picked up in HCMC / Saigon, transport by van and boat to the Mekong Lodge, two lunches, two dinners, two breakfasts, two nights, including two activities per day and cooking classes at night. While everything else in Vietnam seems absurdly cheap, the Mekong Lodge is a bit pricy but all on relative terms and still super value for the money. It really reminded us of a Garden Eden and was a perfect retreat.
The Lodge should also offer massages - I bet it would be a great deal and good business model. My advice for everyone: Get off the beaten track of one day tours to the Mekong Delta and spend at least one night at the Mekong Lodge!

Loved the Mekong Lodge.. we had a private pool room right on the river.. massages out the front whilst watching the boats go past.. very enjoyable..
we went as a group of 9 and had a great time! Food was great and they catered for me (vegetarian) and others in the group that had allergies etc..
Bike ride was a must! so funny and just all round good experience.
Thanks mekong!

My wife and I stayed for the one night package having booked from Ho Chi Minh City. We were collected from our hotel arriving late morning then returned to HCMC the following afternoon. Mekong Lodge is unique, the rooms thatched bungalow type, set along or back from the river amongst gardens. The iteniary was led for us by Khoa. He was a wonderfully nice, helpful guide who clearly cares about his community. He took us on bikes, boats, markets and local villages. The only slightly disappointing thing was the floating market at Cai Be. There's not much left of it compared to the past. However all the activities were very interesting. The food was all included at the resort and was of a high standard. Any mosquito problems are addressed with staff putting nets over the bed at night time. It was such a unique experience and made especially memorable by Khoa.

We were greeted by staff and shown directly to our room which had a plunge pool filling with warm water. Our tour guide, Mr Quang was very pl easant and very informative. The food was great and we had plenty of time to relax. Highly recommended for your itinerary .

Highly recommend Mekong Lodge as a fabulous way to be introduced to the Mekong Delta. We booked a 2 night stay but loved it so much we stayed a 3rd night. Mekong Lodge were so accommodating for us, travelling with an injury and a young baby. They replaced the bike rides with boat trips, and the food and beverage staff were frequently delighted to take our baby for a walk during meal times. The food was sensational! Every lunch and dinner was another Vietnamese delight. The service was impeccable. Cooking demonstration was enjoyable and the carrot carving served up more laughs than perfect designs, but was great fun.
This trip offered exactly what we were looking for - a relaxing escape from the bustling city of Saigon, a glimpse into traditional life in the Mekong Delta, and a feast for the senses. Seeing the local family businesses at work with Mr Khoa was a true highlight, and the feeling of being on an individual or very small tour rather than a busload of tourists.
We found the price quote online to be comparable with the price offered from tour agencies once there, and also cheaper than another company offering "small group tours" to the Mekong Delta. I would strongly encourage you to go ahead and book. The quality of accommodation, service and food is worth the price. Oh and get the bungalows with the plunge pools, you wont regret it.

This lodge is excellent. The accommodation is beautiful and the staff at the Lodge are superb. Mr Khoa was our guide and he was brilliant too!
The river is noisy in the early morning but the Lodge even provides ear-plugs! But who cares if you like to appreciate the local way of life
This tour may seem a little more expensive than others (and a home-stay might be interesting) but its good value for money!!

We had one night at the beautiful Mekong Lodge and it was a wonderful experience. Our guide couldn't have been better, and our three children aged 14, 12 and 9 loved it too. The trips on the river were great, as was the bike ride on the island. Even the kids enjoyed wrapping wontons at the cooking school. Food was beautiful too, and the gardens are amazing. Highly recommended.
