Mango Home Riverside

Situated 6 kilometres outside Ben tre at the bank of a river. Very good price quality ratio. Plus points of this resort: quite a large terrain: beautiful lush and green. Nice swimming pool and daybeds including sun umbrellas. Bicycles can be used without cost. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast a great mixture of western and asian food. Sun downers at the bar area are a great way to end the day. Peaceful & quiet. Food in restaurant for lunch/dinner also nice. Rooms are simple, beds and blanket quite small. But outdoor seating area is nice and the bathroom partially outside gives a very authentic feel to it. We would recommend a stay for 3 nights. Do a bicycle tour and a boat trip to discover surroundings and relax!

A hidden gem of tranquility We loved our stay here, so calming and restful! Just what we needed after HCMC! Excellent service, great food, clean spacious rooms with good beds and a lovely chilled pool area. Wasn’t bitten to death by mozzies although was expecting to be. What makes the place so special are the staff! A huge thanks to Ben (he really was so helpful) good English and very helpful with local information and transportation to onward destinations. Can recommend the local white wine really not bad! and goes well with soda as a spritzer. Highly recommend this place, the sunset cruise was good. Borrowed their bikes FOC and had a good ride around the quieter lanes, nice to see local village life. Good value!

There are many options for staying in Ben Tre. We choose Mango because of the lovely surroundings. We are only spent one night. Pros: beautiful natural surroundings in the river with a nice view of sunset, sitting by their sunset lounge . Played Pool after dinner and was told we could play as long as we like, same as the pool, swim as long as we like. Small and adequate pool. Room was nice with good outdoor shower. Bicycle was nice for a ride once you got off the busy main road. Cons: We were greeted by a welcome drink but then hounded us to pay our bill right away for the night. They didn’t tell us times for breakfast or dinner. Dinner was just fair, I ordered the fried rice with squid and shrimp which were hard to find and seasoned blandly. Meat dishes just ok. Breakfast was buffet but they ran out of banana bread . Eggs or noodle soup was offered but small amount of fruit. Just ok, not a bigger spread like in most hotels in Vietnam. Right after I checked out I wanted a little water to bring along for the trip back, one staffer directed me to the restaurant to buy a small bottle of water. I was surprised and asked another staffer and she offered to fill my water bottle up,which was just fine. So I don’t know if I would stay there again but I did like the environment and pool and playing pool and the bicycles.

Mango Home Riverside is a beautiful hotel next to the river and has a very helpful young team. We spend three very nice days and nights there and joined a tour as well. Compared to the general level of amazing food in Vietnam, the food at the hotel could be improved, but we experienced that in other hotels as well.

This is a perfect place for both relaxing and experiencing the Mekong Delta. Don’t hesitate to book this, it’s really a steal for the price, and a family owned and community oriented business. Its an intimate resort experience, but very clean and the service is impeccable. I highly recommend the tour they offer as well.

We had a wonderful stay here. It was our first few nights in Vietnam, so it was great to arrive to such a warm welcome - plus a nice chilled fruit drink and some cooling towels. The room was as expected, good air con, comfortable bed. We overlooked the pond area, it was very quiet, don't think we saw or heard any other people whilst we were in the room. The bathroom was partly covered and partly open to the elements, so you did have to remember to fully shut the bathroom door each time you went in, so as not to let in mosquitoes. But that was not a problem, I liked the quirky bathroom with its resident lizard! Food here was fantastic. First night we were jetlagged and just wanted to eat quickly and go to bed. We were given a riverside table, service was great, food came quickly and was delicious. In fact every meal was really good. One breakfast was buffet, including a fresh egg station, the other 2 days breakfast was a la carte. We enjoyed both. Staff very regularly checked up on us, came to see if we were still enjoying our stay, and also reconfirmed our trip bookings. We did the sunset boat trip - which we ended up having to ourselves as no one else had booked. And also did the half day trip around local areas and industries, which was really enjoyable. We were very well looked after. We took advantage of the provided bikes. They gave us a clear map of a good route to take, which mostly avoided main roads and went around the countryside areas. We really enjoyed our morning out, and stopped for lunch at the Family Restaurant just outside the hotel on the way home. All in all we had a fantastic stay, can't speak highly enough. Thank you so much to all the staff for looking after us so well and being so friendly.
