Vinh Hung Riverside Resort & Spa

This was our splurge to end the holiday with and it was a fantastic stay. Cold drink and towel upon arrival. The pools, gardens and facilities were impressive. Our room looked over the river and it was lovely to relax on the deckchairs whilst watching the life of the river pass us by. Everything we needed in the old town was within walking distance and yet it felt like we were shielded from the hustle and bustle at the accommodation. Buffet breakfast had both Vietnamese and Western options available. My partner informed them of my birthday and the reception provided a beautiful cake, card and bed decoration on the day - definitely a welcome surprise. The rooms do provide large umbrellas which we used a couple of times during the late afternoon storms. The bar fridge, and air conditioning were cold and worked very well. the bed was comfortable with 2 pillows provided.

My sister and I have stayed at Vinh Hung Riverside Resort several times. My sister uses a wheelchair and going to Vinh Hung Riverside Resort is her annual holiday of choice. The grounds are very well-kept, with beautiful gardens, several pools, and seating with a view of the passing river traffic. Having breakfast in the lovely riverside restaurant is an absolute treat. The buffet caters to many tastes and the service is second-to-none. Dinner is equally special, with lanterns and lights decorating the restaurant, lawns, and cocktail area. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean, with tasteful furnishings and delightful Vietnamese decor - very inviting. An added extra is the local food served on the lawns each afternoon and the sunset cruise departing from the Resort Jetty. Best of all, though, are the cheerful, friendly, attentive, always helpful staff members. They are all magnificent.

Property was BEAUTIFUL. Huge pool, beautiful flowers around the walkways and a view of the river. Included in the stay is local food tasting every night, boat ride on the river and breakfast. Juice upon arrival was a nice touch. Staff was incredibly accommodating. We missed our flight due to visa issues and they easily adjusted our nights of stay. Room was fantastic - great bed and pillows, no bugs. Location is 100% worth it. We were right next to the night market and river with a short walk to the old town area. Every night the river area lights up. It’s all you need. The area around the resort does flood a bit during rainy season. To get a taxi, you will need to walk to the bridge. Make sure you pack a rain jacket or poncho with water shoes. I had flip flops that were fine but you will be walking up to your ankles in water and it will be raining sideways. It was just me and my husband on this trip but we agreed - would definitely come back with our parents.

There's so many things to love about this place. We have stayed here several times and always appreciate the friendly staff and well layed out setting in such a great location. Their offer of free afternoon eating treats and boat ride is generous, the boat ride being a great way to see the area from a different perspective. Two years ago, we were staying at this resort during a super typhoon and witnessed firsthand how the staff worked so well together during their clean-up. It was lovely to feel and see a strong sense of recovery and freshness with all the new lanterns they've put up since then. Being back here was great, and we plan to return again to this delightful resort next year.

Many types of food were offered for Breakfast - by the end of our stay I was having Pho for breakfast instead of cereal and fruit. Members of staff conversed with us to improve their english and made us feel welcome.
