United KingdomAmazing place. Like many of our stays in Vietnam we wish we could have stayed longer but we were moving through the country so quickly (we are a group of 3 friends that stayed 1 night). The staff here are excellent, from communicating through WhatsApp after booking and helping us to organise a Cai Rang market tour and the car to the airport in the afternoon (shout out to Cho the tour guide who does the tours at Silt Ecolodge, through Mekong Experience Travel, smart, intelligent dude who was great to chat to). Early morning Cai Rang tour is why we came here and to sail through the delta as dawn breaks is a veeerryy special thing.
They take the eco thing seriously and will pick you up from the road in their electric car as it's a bit tricky to find for cabs (narrow roads). The lodge runs through solar power. There's a beautiful Buddhist pagoda on the main road just where the entrance to the side road is which is definitely worth seeing, very peaceful spot. Grab cars/bikes are easy to get from Can Tho town to the lodge (5 min walk from the main road where they drop you off, we guided the cab to the pagoda). You should go into town to check out the night food market as it was one of the best we saw.
Also, eat at the restaurant - they take your order in the afternoon and cook for you in the evening. We had the Thai hotpot which was amazing. Rooms are great, the floating rooms on the lake and the lakeside lodge looked ideal for couples. Rooms have mosquito nets on the beds and a minibar. One of the best stays we had on our trip but waaayyyyyyy too short, I could have stayed for days!!
