At first, I was staying in the 4 th hotel of Ben Tre, truly not international 4* star, but had the worst experience with their private tour to discover the area. I then decided to give up my room and contacted the owner of Island lodge to find me a driver in order to join his place for a night, asking if I could have a chance to really discover nature and day life of the Mekong.
What a marvelous change !
Everything was so perfect and I had a chance to have a private 3 h and half tour with Khay, one of his fantastic employee, to finally really discover the area - and for a 1/3 of the price charged by the previous hotel.
At Island Lodge, you are treated more as a friend, and from the HUGE perfectly clean pool, to the food, to the room, to the garden, to the bar, to the spa, or the sauna, everything is above expectations !
I tried all !
Everywhere you do look is just beautiful and perfect...
I of course then decided to stay more... And will be back again as soon as possible !
There are so many options to discover this part of Vietnam from here ! Thanks to Michel and all his fantastic team !
I am very thankful for all delicate attentions I got from all of you, including Giaó ! This young waitress's dream is to be a photographer one day so just ask her to take picture of you, she will, with her lovely smile, and she is so talented !
Negative point : just fear I won 3 more kilos with the Chief specialties ! Well, it is my fault as all is delicious...
Merci encore à vous, cher Michel, d'avoir rattrapé in extremis mon séjour dans le Mékong et d'en avoir fait un rêve !
