Mekong Tours Review: Best and Worst of Mekong Riverside Resort Vietnam

Location and First Impressions

The Mekong Riverside Resort Vietnam is based in Hoa Qui, Hoa Khanh, Cai Be, Tien Giang, a serene riverside environment nestled in the center of the Mekong Delta. While some listings or travel blogs mistakenly mention Ben Tre, please be aware that the correct location is in Cai Be, Tien Giang Province, only 1.5 km from the Cai Be Floating Market.

Getting there is easy and scenic:

• From Ho Chi Minh City, it’s about 120 km southwest, roughly 2.5 hours by car.
• You will cover about 60 km from Can Tho, and it is well-suited as a halt if you are traveling round Mekong.

As you get closer to the resort, it just gets even better. Cars only get you so close, then it’s onto an endearing ride on one of our resort’s quaint golf carts down garden-lined roads and tropical orchard fields. From the moment you pull up, you’re greeted by peaceful lotus ponds, singing birds, and sweeping Mekong River views. The peacefulness, the lushness, the sweet river breeze, it’s an immediate mood setter. That’s what sets Mekong Riverside Resort Vietnam apart from that very moment of arrival.
