Homestay Coco Island

I recently had a 2-day, 1-night stay at Coco Island Homestay in Con Phung, and my first impression was that everything was so different from the hustle and bustle of city life. As soon as I entered the grounds, I saw lots of greenery, heard birds singing, and felt the cool breeze from the river. The space was quite peaceful, without the crowded or noisy atmosphere of many other tourist spots. My room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped. What I liked most was that in the morning, I could just open the door and admire the lush green garden, listen to the rustling leaves, and breathe in the very fresh air. It's been a long time since I've had such a good night's sleep. In the afternoon, I strolled around the tourist area, took pictures at the coconut bridge, visited other spots on Con Phung, and then returned to the homestay for dinner. The food had a Western Vietnamese flavor, seasoned perfectly, especially the crispy fried elephant ear fish and coconut heart salad, which were delicious. What impressed me most was the friendliness of the staff. The staff were always proactive, offering enthusiastic guidance and recommending places to visit in the area. I felt their sincerity, not a robotic kind of service. If you're looking for a weekend getaway with your family or want a change of scenery after stressful workdays, I think Coco Island is a very worthwhile option to consider.

This was my first time visiting Con Phung and I chose Coco Island. What I liked most was waking up to see the river, and the air was incredibly fresh. It was the perfect place for a relaxing getaway to forget about work.

The accommodation was completely unsuitable for an international clientele: the staff didn't speak English, it was more of an attraction than a hotel (with poor live animals kept in tiny aquariums), and the rooms were extremely noisy because they were right on the Mekong River with boats constantly passing by. The accommodation was only accessible by motorbike via a dangerous road. We didn't stay and subsequently cancelled our two-night reservation!
