Perfect riverside location, attractive natural landscape with many flowers around. Riverview room is incredible, could see the sun and water traffic all day, some lights are too dark (should replace). Staffs are helpful, great service including pool orders. Swiming pool in this season quite hot. Food and drinks are fine in good price, restaurant has beautiful front-river scene and serve in-house vegetable. Interesting experience to go around the resort by bicycle, need to maintain bicycles better to ensure workable brakes. Calm place, peaceful atmosphere. Will come back once travelling to Cai Be again.

To start the property was a gem of a place, it was truly a rustic yet sophisticated homestay. Beautifully decorated for Tet and surrounded by trees and gardens, it was a really relaxing and comfortable place to unwind. We had stayed in a bungalow, which had everything you needed, mosquito net, aircon, comfortable beds, and a very rustic and cool bathroom/shower area. The bungalow came with a small porch out front, which was nice to hang out and have a drink, either in the morning or evening. The staff was really attentive and exceeded our expectations, and the host was welcoming with a great personality. She helped organize a tour for us that ended up being a highlight of the trip. Ask for Nhan Dinh, one of the best tour guides I've had in a while, really attentive and spoke really good English. Was eager to answer a million questions we had, and was just a great guy to spend the day with, he felt more like a friend than a tour guide. The homestay was also a short bike ride to the end of the island where you can watch an amazing sunset, make sure to bring a headlamp for the ride back! We managed to ride our bikes back, but some areas were really dark, had to use our phone's flashlight. This was our first time exploring the Mekong River area and the homestay really provided an exceptional experience.

Cool town on Mekong river with peaceful views and friendly...
Cool town on Mekong river with peaceful views and friendly people. There are so many activities to do like visiting fruit plantation, sitting on boat along a narrow channel with 2 green along the way. I like the most seeing sunrise at Bo Song Quan coffee and Huong Quan food is great!!

Not a huge amount to do in this area.
Not a huge amount to do in this area. It’s a great getaway to relax and unwind in a resort.
To get there from HCM I would use a bus company to the tourist port.
You can cycle around but there isn’t a huge amount to see.
Not lots of choice of places to eat outside the hotel.
Lots of rubbish sadly, would be great to see some conservation projects or community clearing projects to help with this.
The property is very well laid out with duplex units on the river, lake or garden. All very nice. The bath is spacious and the little deck nice to enjoy the views. The pool is large although too shallow on one side. Great for the toddlers. The breakfast is good if it’s the buffet but if you order by menu just so so. Restaurant serves nicely prepared dishes at resort prices. Thr staff as usual in Vietnam is eager to help. We arrived by rented scooter and had some trouble with it. Three guys were omit and had the problem
fixed in a jiffy.
Spacious and clean rooms with air conditioner what you definitely need. Super nice staff and a hotel where you could easily relax a few days. Mekong Delta tours are nice but they tend to stop at shops or factories where they more or less force you to buy something or give tips. It was so uncomfortable that we didn’t enter the last shop. The tours through the Delta itself are nice and a must. Maybe you make it clear at the hotel that you come for the nature and culture and not to shop and avoid the experiences we made.
Amazing experience staying in Cai Be at Sao Mai Hotel. Vu and his family really take care of you here. When you stay here you will be fed delicious home made meals and have the opportunity to speak with Vu and his family, getting a better understanding of Vietnam and the Mekong region. They will help you with everything in your stay whether it be food, tours, bus tickets and onward travel! Room was very comfortable with hot water and AC. Thank you for everything!
If you want an authentic Mekong Delta experience, look no further! The lovely owner Vu and his family really go the extra mile to make your stay here worthwile. From the personal Mekong tour with Vu himself to the family dinners (both very reasonably priced) to the spontaneous visit to his father's fruit garden, everything was great. On top of this, the accommodation is also very comfortable and clean.
Can only recommend staying at Sao Mai Hotel!
This was the best accommodation we’ve had, hands down. The food was EXCEPTIONAL, the garden beautiful & peaceful and our hosts were warm and welcoming.
Our river tour with Nhi was an absolute highlight - we saw and experienced so much.
Yes it’s rustic and doesn’t have all of the comforts of a city hotel, but that’s the point!
It was the only time we felt that we truly got away from the tourist traps and experienced the real Vietnam.
A very clean and spacious house, with a comfortable outside area in a very nice , leafy part of Cai Be, we did very nice walks through narrow paths off the main street, tiny canals in people’s gardens, an unexpected school in the middle of maize of small paths, one feels that the jungle starts just behind this part of the city. There is also a very neat restaurant with AC room next door.
The location is very special, with large gardens and grounds right on the river you couldn’t ask for a more ideal setting. The pool area is lovely and the staff were very helpful. The hotel manager Duy personally took care of us - he helped book our bus to the next destination, expertly administered first aid when we needed it, and gave us some interesting facts about the Mekong.
Lovely if slightly rustic hotel on the Mekong Delta. Food was really delicious, much better than some previous reviews suggested. Great tours, free bike hire appreciated. Seamless communication with booking.com taxis regarding pick up and drop off (as have to access from a boat). Overall great relaxing time.
Outdoor facilities where very nice, very chill with the constant view on the river and passing boats. Swimming pool is lovely, restaurant was very good with lots of variety ! In overall, we had a lovely experience ! The boat tour organized by the hotel is pretty touristic but nice for newcomers in Vietnam ;)
I adored this little place by the river! Very homey vibes and way bigger than expected. There's a kitchen, a bathtub, two beds, a sofa and armchairs to relax and read. Bicycles also available to move around Cai Be town. Having breakfast with the boats passing by is priceless, I will definitely be back!
This spacious property is exactly like the photos and very thoughtfully designed. The owners were incredibly helpful on check-in, check-out, and with any questions we had, including organising the bus to leave Caí Be. They also adapted the breakfast for our diet at the last minute.
The place is very nice in the middle of the nature and wonderful seeview of Mekong. Free bikes to go to the Cai Be town. They offer organised tour for 600k dongs per person but there is not floating market any more in Cai Be since Covid.
During the days in Cai be, we had the chance to discover the city thanks to Vuvu. He helps us with everything (bus, activities…). It’s was not only an hotel but a experience in the Vuvu’s family.
Mister Vu was so helpful right from the booking of the hotel to checking out. He showed us his village and gave us a great tour of the surrounding area. Everything was really great!! Thanks Vu!
The rooms were nice. The food at the hotel restaurant was decent. The pool needed to be cleaned. The spa was closed though that was not advertised until we were at the hotel.
