We spent two quiet nights at the Ecolodge. Huts are well appointed although it is another example of green marketing.  Huts are quite porous with cracks of sunlight coming through but are equipped with a/c units but no fans.  Also, no alternate energy source or any indication of reducing it's environmental footprint.Just lots of new plants in the courtyard which I guess is the eco part.  Food was bland, uninspiring and expensive. Most mains are 6-9  US$ and then rice is an extra 2$,  Breakfast was poor -- Western option was overly fried egg (called it omelette) and bun.

Good accommodation but food is expensive

We recently spent 2 nights at the Ecolodge and cannot fault the staff and the activities provided (cooking class, fishing). The food was all fresh, locally sourced and expertly prepared. As a family, we also enjoyed using the bikes provided to explore the island. The first afternoon/evening we were 'treated' to the tone-deaf neighbour's endless karaoke (see previous review) but this is outside the control of the Ecolodge. The next day he mercifully put his mike away. We could hear the traffic at the nearby ferry but didn't find this a problem.

Attentive staff and a wonderful setting

Truly memorable stay. Rooms were clean, food was good and plentiful and staff were helpful and pleasant. But the most memorable part was the bike ride (organised by the lodge) where we met the people who live on the river.

What a memorable experience

Connecting with real people and the Delta

From the start, the staff were very attentive and organised a car to take us down to the area from Saigon, then a staff member came across on the ferry and escorted us to the Ecolodge, one minute's walk from the ferry.  

All rooms are separate bungalows that provide privacy and are just gorgeous, with outdoor bathroom attached.  When not too hot can open up all the shutters on the windows, then can close up if you need the aircon on.

One night was very noisy with frogs making a loud noise most of the night right outside our bungalow. I guess that's the price you pay for being in an Ecolodge so can't really complain.  The other 2 nights we stayed were fine.

Tours around the island on bikes were great fun and met small business owners making different products.  Very interesting and local very friendly.

Idyllic

The name suggests an idyllic hideaway in the tropical rainforest! It would have been if it was not for the constant noise from traffic on the adjacent road from the ferry, the boats on the water and the noisy nocturnal wildlife.  Never heard the Karaoke bar mentioned in a previous review, maybe its closed down.  Having said that the restaurant was very good, one night we had a cooking class to cook our own meal.  The staff were very attentive, polite and our guide took us on several bike rides around the island and even over to the mainland on the ferry.
