Anh Nguyet has spacious carpeted rooms with air-conditioning, TV, refrigerator, writing desk, a small sitting area, not-too-hard beds, and slightly grimy bay windows; the staff speak some English. The bathrooms, most with tubs, are looking a little tired. Reception staff can help organize car with driver and boat hire and bus or air tickets.

The first "off-the-grid" and solar-powered resort in Vietnam, Bamboo Cottages has evolved a bit but still maintains a simple, quiet vibe of bungalows set in a wild tropical garden with arguably one of the best views on Phu Quoc. Evolved from a family's holiday home, which still forms part of the property, the eco-minded lodge has a restaurant, daily yoga classes, beach barbecues, and activities available, including massages, kayaking, snorkeling, bicycle hire, cooking classes, and Vietnamese lessons.

Close to the market and the first guesthouse across the bridge from the ferry terminal, this basic hotel has large, neat rooms (thanks to a 2024 refresh) with not-too-hard beds and bathrooms with shower cubicles rather than the usual Vietnamese splash room. The riverview rooms have a small balcony and may be worth the upgrade to make the most out of your likely brief stay in Ha Tien. Very little English is spoken here, but staff will still try their best to extend classic Mekong Delta hospitality. Like most accommodation in Ha Tien, the rate is slightly higher on weekends.

The central location and attractive price are the main reasons to choose this hotel, which occupies two wings in a complex that also includes a wedding reception venue, a karaoke bar, and an interesting little outdoor café that specializes in pizza. The rooms are basic, but spacious and clean. However, the lack of English can make a stay here a challenge, especially if you run into one of the more unhelpful staff members.

This long-standing beachfront resort has a comfortable yet relaxing ambience with its pretty little brick cottages, a modern and roomy extension, manicured gardens, three swimming pools, and a charming garden restaurant, not to mention the helpful staff. The two-bedroom beach houses are a great option for families and the restaurant, Spice House, is a superb spot for sunset.

Bungalows and villas overlook a small private beach and the beautiful Gulf of Thailand, offering a serene escape; the 12 villas blend traditional Vietnamese with modern minimalism and some feature large terraces, Jacuzzis, or private pools.

This three-star hotel is in need of a refresh, but the location is good, the staff are helpful, and some rooms have a balcony and a terrific view of the river.

Small and serviceable, with heavy wooden furniture, Vietnamese-style bathrooms, and a central location, this is nevertheless a generic hotel often used by Vietnamese businessmen (who tend to smoke a lot); do ask to see (and smell) a room before you check in.

With spacious, clean rooms, some English spoken, and a good central location, this five-story hotel, diagonally across the road from the Long Xuyen Hotel, has all the basics covered. Rooms have pine furniture, a writing desk, fridge, kettle, and even a bathtub in the bathroom. The location is great, close to the Co-Op supermarket and the Catholic church.

The family-run Green Village Mekong offers insight into local delta life (and relaxation time in hammocks) at its two sites with simple bamboo bungalows and lush gardens: Green Village 1 is surrounded by rice paddies and banana trees, while Green Village 2 is on a canal. Guests having access to free bicycles, boats, cooking classes, and traditional fishing equipment, with a housekeeper available to demonstrate how to actually catch fish. Each bungalow has a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and a minibar.

The accommodation is basic and the garden is wildly decorated, but at Happy Family, the river views from the hammock are second to none, the staff are welcoming and cheerful, and languid days can be filled boating or cycling around this peaceful spot.

At this little setup 8 km (5 miles) from My Tho run by a lovely husband-and-wife team, Khoi and Oanh, you'll choose between simple wooden or solid bungalows, both with air-conditioning and an outdated en suite outdoor bathroom, but the big attraction here is the minihobby farm, which is home to chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese, dogs, and cats. Oanh supervises the kitchen, which turns out fabulous Vietnamese home cooking. It's very popular with Vietnamese families on weekends, when Khoi organizes a full itinerary of kids' activities, including tug-of-war, sack races, and fishing (the old-fashioned way, in the water with a bamboo basket).

This small and charming family-run guesthouse has 10 cute brick and wood bungalows set in an incredible garden, well off the tourist trail, and is an ideal rural retreat for those seeking a glimpse of local life and excellent home cooking. Make the most of the guesthouse's bicycles to explore the area or just lie back in a hammock and enjoy the lush tropical gardens. The homestay is about three hours by local bus from Ho Chi Minh City and only one hour from My Tho by taking the quick Pha Tan Phu ferry.

As you would expect from a hotel interior designed by Bill Bensley, the resort is a bold, over-the-top, maximalist fantasy theme as a fictional French university from the 1890s, bursting with more than 5,000 European antiques and imaginative objets d'art. Various wings are named after academic departments, such as the Department of Agriculture, and every room within has a horticultural theme. Guests can relax at any of the three public pools, which includes an adults-only pool and kids' pool—or their own private pool if staying in a villa. Don't forget the pristine private white sand beach and the resort's cocktail bar. There's a kids club to keep ages 4 to 12 entertained while adults take classes or visit the spa.

Little sister to the Nam Bo Boutique Hotel, The Lighthouse is a restored heritage building with seven serviced apartments and long-stay guests in mind. The modern, comfortable apartments offer wonderful views of the river, park, and night market, and solid double glazing will keep out the noise. If you're basing yourself in Can Tho and want apartment comforts, then The Lighthouse may well be the best option in the city. The excellent restaurant on the ground floor and the attached "La Baguette" bakery/cafe adds to the convenience.

In a central location, this hotel has clean, simple, and functional rooms that are actually pretty comfortable, with Vietnamese-style splash bathrooms. The furniture is solid-looking wood and the air-conditioning works well, which is all you can really ask for at this price. The hotel is behind the Co-Op Mart supermarket and the only two fast-food outlets in town, and a block from the Catholic church.

Phu Quoc's first true eco-resort is a collection of rammed-earth and wooden bungalows scattered through a wide, tree-filled property fronting Ong Lang Beach. The resort continues to practice sustainable, low-impact methods, and if lazing in a hammock gets boring, there are a slew of activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, volleyball, and movie nights. Staff can assist with bookings at the spa, tours, ticket bookings, and motorbike rental. The restaurant, perched on the rocks, has a stellar view over the ocean, but is so popular with outside visitors that reservations are strongly recommended for in-house guests. 

A boutique hotel on the banks of the Ham Luong River, Mango Home Riverside has comfortable air-conditioned thatch-roof bungalows with en suite open-air bathrooms set in a beautiful tropical garden. There are free bikes for exploring, and the hotel has its own boat for tours and sunset cruises. They can also arrange for pick-up from Ben Tre bus station.

Getting to the eco-conscious lodge requires a quick transfer by boat or if by land, a motorbike (the lane is too narrow for cars), but it’s part of the fun of a riverside retreat where the surprisingly large pool, pathways, and rooms front the Mekong. Activities includes biking, cooking classes, and tours on the river.

The biggest hotel in My Tho has seen better days, but if there's a specific need to stay in the city center, Mekong My Tho Hotel's rooms on the high floors boast views over the river and it has a large outdoor swimming pool and tennis court.

There are activities on-site, including kayaking, billiards, badminton, cooking class, and, of course, boat trips can be arranged. Friendly staff round out this resort.
