We did a 3 night escape from Saigon (~4hd drive), and we didn't regret it for one second. We had been eyeing the azerai can tho for many months, but never got a chance to go. It looked beautiful, a resort style accomodation in an unexpected location (Can Tho / Mekong), rather than the usual Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Da Nang, Mui Ne, Ho Tram ...
The photos looked great, the reviews were so positive; expectations were very high - and they pulled through.
Firstly, service was very professional, you could see the staff were very well trained; actually it was flawless from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. They understood our requests and were were always accommodating. The management team was very present.
The resort has a beautiful architecture and design, materials are of good quality, everything is well finished, and well maintained.
The food exceeded expectations; from breakfast through lunch and dinner. The selection was also a nice mix of international, Vietnamese & Indian. We could enjoy the a-la-carte breakfast included in our room rate either in our rooms or at the restaurant; huge plus. Dinner, in the restaurant, under the banyan tree, next to the lake; a new experience each evening.
The price, was as expected - high but not obnoxious and justified given the quality of everything. And no gouging on silly things like water (free!) and even proactively served at the pool when we sat down.
Would highly recommend and looking forward to going back.
